You want the Super without a doubt. It's one mean harp amp and works great as a versatile guitar amp as well. I'm pretty sure that's what Derek Trucks uses with no pedals. The tone ain't bad.
I got rid of my blackface Fenders and old Music man amps, but still have a Vibrolux that I use mainly for harp (it's not a great guitar amp for what I do). A Vibro is basically a super (with regards to wattage) without a midrange control and only two 10s. It can carry any room as a harp amp. My old Blackface Pro (the pro was a 40 watts, no midrange and 2 12s) was the same with guitar. There were few rooms where I didn't have to use a tube screamer to get a bit earlier breakup to save the eardrums of the clientel. Those old blackface amps were a loud 40 watts!
You may actually want to look into a deluxe though. Lower wattage so you get earlier breakup at lower volumes. I don't think they have a midrange control and I think they are just 2 10s.
