Small amp for busking
I'm looking into doing some portable gigs by myself with backing tracks. I'd probably want to use my phone or computer to play the tracks, and maybe use a mic on my horn to run into a small amp. I'd want it portable enough so that if/when the authorities kick me out of a place, I can hoof it in a single trip.

The little Rolands are great, and actually sound pretty good.

Are there any that sound decent that are battery powered?Jimkinkella wrote: Wed Nov 17, 2021 8:14 pm The little Rolands are great, and actually sound pretty good.

My favorite was a dual 6.5"? Maybe 5"? that they don't make anymore, powered or battery, probably closest to the new Cube Street?
Nothing on a battery is going to sound great, but they were as good as you're going to get.

A sax friend has this batter powered amp, and it's pretty decent:

I use , to great effect, a powered monitor with Blue tooth capabilities .
It`s light weight, great sound and if you`re using your phone for tracks the blue tooth would be perfect
