Building one could be a fun project. Valve preamp pedals tend to be very expensive, so if you can build one for less, that would be great. Especially if you can include a signal-balancing transformer at the output stage. Failing that however, something like this Joyo preamp pedal has lots of options and a balanced output: www.joyoaudio.co.uk/preamphouse-guitar-amp-simulator. It's solid state, but it looks pretty good and isn't crazy money.

Hi again !
I think you really would be best with a vintage 2-channel, all valve amp - one channel for guitar, one for harmonica. You will get the sound you are after without any additional faff, and the amp should be worth as much you bought it for (or more !), when you want to sell it.

I do have 2 such amps but this would mean another mic and lead ( also there would bound to be some compromises to be made) and I am trying to cut down the amount of stuff I take to gigs. I am going to try a cheap amp modelling f/x box. It has a ‘true bypass ‘ so it should not change the vocal sound. It will be going from balanced line to jack and back again which might cause some issues, we will see. Pete

snakehips,
he has already conceded that what you are recommending would sound MUCH better. shown he has the olde school amps that would do what you envision very well.
the 1951 suffix is his birthday.
i don't need to pretend i can understand why he is seeking a lighter weight alternative being 2 just years younger.
olde age is a female dog, but still beats the alternatives.

PS- was written just before his answer.
