I have a chance to pick up this amp for $100. Is it any good for the harp? Thanks.

I've got a Spider IV 75 which I use for guitar. I have played harp through it and yes, you can get some serviceable tones from it.
The thing with digital modelling amps is that whilst you do get a facsimile of lots of different amps, if you're a real tone hound, it's probably going to fall short.
I love mine because I've got a nice range of tones, effects etc all in one inexpensive bundle. That said, I use it for guitar and I play disco and funk, so I'm largely using a clean compressed sound with lots of wah. If I was playing anything that required a decent overdriven tone, I'd probably be on the lookout for a nice all tube setup, but that's going to set you back more than the $100 you spent.
All in all, I'd say you've got a good working amp for very little money.

I picked up a 15W Line 6 Spider for next to nothing. I get a decent (but not great) sound by running a Boss '59 Bassman pedal into the clean channel. I think if you get a "smaller" nice tube amp in the future, you could run it into the Spider as your own personal PA system. Some of the effects are fun to play with. Brings back memories of the old mescaline days...both of them.
