I've just been looking at these on Amazon. I like the price. What do you think? I've never heard of the makes. The only difference seems to be that one has three tone controls and the other has four, which seems a bit excessive, or does it?

I think you have the cheap part right. Might be ok for bass, terrible for harp. I have a couple like this, one was actually kind of expensive, even portable (batteries) I can't give them away.

"ok for bass, terrible for harp"

Why is that, horrible treble?

If you got a HarpAttack maybe it'd sound good? That's just my thinking, though. I pretty much think it would probably suck for harp otherwise. I used my guitarists bass amp (which is a little Hartke) and it sounded good with a HarpAttack. The amp in America, conversion wise, would be pretty much be $59. The HarpAttack is around $170, and the power supply is around $18. That would be $247. I don't know how much shipping would be, so in the end (without shipping) you'd be paying around £154.57. I'd say that sounds like a pretty decent deal, especially if you maybe want to use effects. This is just my thoughts, though, I have no idea.
