I succumbed to the amp revolution, or to put it another way, decided to make things easier and save on broken strings, but I was lead by a mate !

The Vox DA5 with input for guitar and a 2nd for a voice mike, which I must admit to rarely using

loads of effects built in

reasonable price in U K £85 - $160

runs on 6 x 1.5 v batteries that last for far longer than 10 hours, more like 60 - 70, I logged it once, and do not weigh as much as a car battery, it fits into my rucksack so it frees me hands for the guitar

For what its worth
