Portable is a matter of opinion, I suppose. I have a single amp that I can plug my electric guitar and four microphones into when my group performs. We don't have separate mixers, speakers speaker stands and all the other periphenalia (sp?) that larger groups have. It takes about ten minutes for me to set up. Because we don't have keyboards or a drummer, or any other instruments to be amplified, we can go anywhere.. even outside if there's an outlet within 100 feet.

As for distortion, somehow I can't quite imagine Jimmi Hendrix on a Martin D28. (Although they probably would burn better..)

Different strokes for different folks

And I love everyday people.

Acoustic or electric.
