I had one 20+ years ago and never got completely satisfied with the sound - possibly I didn't have the right mic or was not tongue blocking enough during that time. Dave Kott at greenbullets.com (not sure if he is still in business) used to say he had a batch of mods he could do to improve the Westside 35 as a harp amp.
The Westside 35 was made by Holland Amps, which I believe went out of business years ago. They had a shop in the suburbs south of Nashville somewhere. I believe it was named after Westside Andy Linderman, a great player around Wisconsin if I recall.
Ultimately I wish I hadn't sold mine as a 2x10 Bassman-style amp would be a really handy amp to have. If I had one again, I would try to figure out a list of mods to make it sound more like a Victoria 35210 amp, which I played once and it sounded absolutely fantastic.
