I'm on vacation here. Street musicians on every corner. Battery powered amps are everywhere, dominated by cubes....although the best sounding street rig was some Yamaha speakers powered by a huge deep cycle automotive battery with an ac inverter.

Although I see the favorite is the 80XL, I purchased a used Micro Cube and having a lot of fun using it. I took it to band practice a couple days ago and plugged the line out directly into the board input and it sounded surprisingly good! Sweet little amp for $50!

Funny, I still have this little practice amp that I received as a gift in 1977 - sounds like crap, but can't seem to let it go.
