Doesn't anyone here like solid-state amps? I know I'm just a noobie, and
highly unlikely to perform in public, but for my purposes, a small
solid-state amp was my choice. I got the Roland Cube 30X - I can use it for
my guitar, Strumstick and harp, it has a few useful effects and several amp
simulations that give it a tube-like feel. It's light and not easily damaged
by being bumped and dragged around. And it can be LOUD when I want it, too.

Several harp-l folks use solid state amps, but really most of us prefer
the warmth of tubes. The amp you've got isn't bad for harp, though; I've
played thru one before.
Of course, one of the greatest harmonica players ever, Madcat Ruth, uses
solid state amps I think. He's on the list; maybe he'll say something
about solid state amps and how/why he uses them.

I had the Roland Cube 30 (and later the Cube 60) for harp a couple
years ago and I liked them very much. I used the Harmonica Honker mic
and the sound was excellent using the Brit Combo amp emulation. Since
you use the amp for other instruments the Cube 30 is a good choice.

Hi Ian,

I think the Roland Amp doesn't really count as an solid state amp because a
microprocessor tries to make it sound like a tube amp - that's why it sounds
so good, no?

And another tip for a tube amp (and speaker) simulation: The Sans Amp by
Tech 21. I love that thing. To me it sounds lot better than the Line 6
stuff. And it's only a little inexpensive analogue box.
