Battery powered amp for jam session.

Hi all,

I am looking for any reviews, input on buying a small amp that I could use at a local jam session near me. They usually don't use any amps. They are an acoustic group, but they will make an exception for the pedal steel....

Thanks,
Larry

I like the Roland Mini Cube.

Me too. But I like their Cube Street even better.

Bobby Ingano gigs with one. Sounded sweet.

This is the one I saw Bobby Ingano using a couple of years ago: https://www.roland.com/us/products/mobile_cube/.

+1 for the Cube Street. Nice amp.

I have a little Vox DA-5 that's also good. Got it used for $50. It doesn't sound quite as good as the Cube Street but it's a good little amp.

Formerly attended a similar jam session at a local restaurant and used a 'Lunch Box Jr.' amp (held its own against twelve Martins and an electric bass with no problem whatsoever). The amp measures 7-1/2"W x 5-1/2"H x 4-1/2"D, weighs very little, and operates on either 12V or AC power. One nice feature is a 9V out to power your effects pedals. No longer using so it is available for $100.00 plus actual shipping if interested.
