All the reviews and video of this with harmonicas is Blues (distorted sound) can this play "clean" stuff, or am I better off with a mini PA type amp?

The VHT Special 6 Combo is better suited to clean guitar tones. Has lots of clean headroom and takes pedals well. I have a cheap tremolo and reverb in front of it. Sounds great. It's way too loud for your living room.

I play harp using a bullet microphone through it and play my Fender Strat through it, and I am very please with both sounds. I never tried both at the same time but I am told there is a jack in the back. Is it for a second input? not sure, but I am sure there is tech info online regarding its use.

The Honey tone mini amp was junk. You'd be better off buying a real amplifier.

The clean channel sounds good. The 30 watts is great for small venues but for larger rooms it would be best to mic the amp thru a PA system.

No, just don't give it full power.It's actually better to have more amplifier than you need because you have plenty of clean power to throw at it. Clean power is better for speakers than distortion, because distortion is what overheats the voice coil. These speakers are very efficient, so they will play very loud on modest power. Just don't drive them too hard and you'll be fine.

It will play but it will hardly move and it will probably be too quiet to hear. I'd get an amp rated for at least 600watts rms.

I'm a Hohner harmonica player and buyer. The blues band harmonica is in the low end of Hohner harmonicas.I consider it like a toy, compared to the Better end of Hohner harmonicas the special 20's marine band.I suggest you get a few special 20's and you will thank me later!! The special 20's are both used by biginner intermediate and pros.good luck with your disition

Dont use cheap distortion pedals like this. The real tone is already in your amp.

quite an amazing tube amp. i can plug my acoustic to it and play on the clean channel or plug in my les paul through a pedal and go to town. the sound is clear and crisp if you want to sound that way or adjust the knobs to make it sound the way you want it to. i like to play the blues, but if you are into heavy metal, this amp can handle it. you can also switch the tubes for different sound affects. watch a few YouTube videos on it. hope this helped.

Effects sound ok if you run the amp clean. If you use the amp gain it gets too muddy. There is not much clean volume either so keep that in mind.

When you play any harmonica the result is the same. It gets saturated with water (i.e. spit). Clean your Little Lady with water. Just swish it around in some water and shake it, then let it dry awhile.

This amp, is for guitars and basically more of a portable unit to practice, or enjoy. But I would not recommend it for gigs. Not for DJs of course!

Good Morning Mike, You have the option of either playing it as an Acoustic or Electric . When it is not being used with an Amp it has Deep Rich Sound and is an awesome piece of Musical Equipment. When it is Plugged into an amp you have a wide range of different Sound that you can Achieve such as Distortion and Overdrive for that Heavy Metal moment when you want, or with a few tweaks of the onboard controls you can have a Clean Classic Bass Sound and even a slapping Funk Sound as well. The Pick up in this Guitar is indeed an awesome one. this is a Bass that you will come to love and will indeed become your Favorite Guitar..

Yeah just put the distortion really high up. Some people might not like the default distortion tone the amp already has, but you could always buy a distortion or overdrive pedal and plug it into the amp. It might have a better tone if you don't already like the distortion the amp already provides. It can play speed/thrash.

any source will work to a certain degree i have the drums from this rp155 going thru a digitech r7 guitar pedal amazing sounds can be added if you get bored with your drum sound...... like i said so i think that any input mic, other drums ect work but its whether you like whats comin out of course you would have to mic up the harmonica why dont you just go the store and see if they will let you demo it

It works well for gigging with my Celtic Harp and large pedal harps. With the use of a separate EQ device I can get a pretty nice sound. Of course I wouldn't use it for recording. But I set all my harps up with this. I'm sure guitarists have pick ups that might give you an easier set up . But I also bring this along for other classical players who are not used to amplifying.

Hello. Technically, you could make this work for a variety of uses, but it may not sound the best for all of them. I would not recommend it for vocals, and acoustic guitar may be a bit hollow sounding. The Ecoustic series from Peavey would be better for acoustic blue and harmonica. Please remember, this is a small practice amp and is mostly recommend for use at home or in very small venues.
