Hello All,
What small, battery/electric powered, portable Amps are you using?
Hi, I built this
http://runoffgroove.com/ruby.html
(the standard version with a 3-pole-double-throw switch to make the
Bassman mod they suggest on the page)
IIRC it drains about 100-150mah at full gain, so on a 9V NiCD battery
pack of 600mah I got from an old RC car it should run several hours -
I never tested it for that long though.
With my semiacoustic guitar it sounds pretty good (on the cabinet from
a cheap classic-guitar Ibanez amp); you can even pull out some nice
overdrive from it. I'd say it would be just adeguate to jam in an open
space with another non-percussive acoustic instrument - that's what I
originally built it for, but I'm still waiting for a chance to test it.
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.
