Hello All,
What small, battery/electric powered, portable Amps are you using?
I'm taking up the Autoharp (an acoustic instrument) that has a
magnetic
pickup with 1/4" jack output. I have a Zoom H2 recorder that I would
use as a vocal microphone (has the 1/8" mini-stereo line output).
I'm not interested in special guitar effects. A graphic equalizer is
a
plus.
The Vox Mini 3 looks promising. I could run the Autoharp 1/4" out
through the Vox 1/4" input jack. The Zoom H2 line out into the Vox
Aux
In jack. Will this work?
And do any of these Amps have a Line Out that I could run to my
Yamaha
MG10/2 mixer? That would be very nice for recording.
Other suggestions?
Thanks All,
Stephen.
If you know how to solder build your own amp. I suspect that those
battery powered amps don't have any special characteristics comparable
to those of big amps. Resp. if there are low cost battery amps, I would
test the cheapest.
A review in German says that the amp should be ok, if you need amp
simulation.

I suspect that if you need all the features you can't build an amp
yourself for that price. Since you don't need it, why paying that much
money?
