A 7W version (Baby Buggane) is already being tested by Steve and it is as loud as his 50W Crate all valve amp!!
I can assure you that both amps would sound very good for use with mouth harp - especially the Baby Buggane, as this one is a true class A (single ended output) amplifier which has a very smooth tone when set to Triode mode.
A slight amount of modifying to the input stage is all that would be needed (to match the microphone impedance to the amplifier).
