Has anyone ever used a Line 6 Micro Spider mini amp for practicing and outdoor use- Im seriously thinking of getting a mini amp and I wanted to get input from you guys- I know Line 6 is a popular amp series in the forum- Im trying to keep my limit to under a hundred bucks and the price on the this is right but I have no idea about how it holds up with the harp

Nothing about that amp is good for harp! From the input to the speaker. I bought my daughter one with her mini Strat. Its a decent amp for guitar, but it sounds like shit with harp!
Seriously save up your money and buy the new Lone Wolf amp. You won't regret it!

I have one, seldom used. If you just want an inexpensive way to play through an amp using batteries without plugging in, it has a couple minimal settings you can use, especially little or no gain. Or you can plug in the vocal jack instead of the guitar input. Most of the settings will easily feed back, and are made for guitar. It will let you be heard in a quiet setting like busking or an acoustic jam, but would not cut through any volume at an electric jam.
Mine seems to have a problem in that on the guitar channel, when you turn it on, until you tweak each control the effects and gain have reset to some arbitrary non-harp-friendly setting.
Unless you get a real bargain, a classic Pignose would be better for harp when just using batteries.

If its a modeler you want, then a Roland Micro Cube or Peavey Nano Vypyr would be a better bang for the buck. Both are quite versatile and have widespread reports of harp-friendliness.
I agree with Doug...can't really go wrong with a Pignose. Another couple of choices would be the Luna UK-5, or the Danelectro Honeytone or Hodad 2.
