Vox DA5 - I've tried most and this is in a league of its own.

I've adapted a small radio headset mic so that it doesn't need radio. That goes into the main socket. Volume and tone controls are fine at default.

I also use a small dynamic mic which clamps onto my stool for instruments, and that goes into the second channel. No tone control but this is not necessary at the 'reinforcement' levels I require.

Both channels are only set to double, at best, the natural sound of voice an instruments.

Set at the lowest power rating (0.5 watts), max volumes are about right. The 1.5 gives a bit more poke with no distortion, and if you need a bit more and don't mind hearing the amp over you the 5 watt setting is acceptable.

Digital effects with a tap-timer for delays could come in handy, and there are guitar effects which I don;t use but sound ok.

Digital volume controls mean you don't want to vary the sound while playing (it goes in steps) but this is otherwise the perfect small amp.

Batteries last for weeks if you only turn it on during the actual gig (1.5 hours per night?)

Choice of colours too.

Bit bigger than the Roland Microcube, but nicer tone plus the second channel, of course - which most don't have.

Good supplier too
