Hi, David:

When purchasing a stage amp, is it relevant to keep in mind that I may someday start singing on stage? Do vocalists use amps at all, or do they generally go through the house sound system? I mean: should I buy an amp that can fulfill multiple usages, or do I just want the best harp amp possible?

Hello Marc. You'll sing through the PA, so just get an amp focused on harmonica.
