Ross Mini-mouth.
Operate off of a 12v battery or up to 15v hefty wall-banger.
With one of those 12v lead-acid jobs that photographers use, I played the 
streets for year with this. Can be very clean, can even run voice through it. 
Can do a small room gig wih it as well.

 I had tried out a bunch of portable amps before taking this one.
