 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?
