Has anyone tried this battery powered amp?  The concept appeals to me and the weight and size enhance it somewhat.  I tried out a small version in a shop and was impressed with the tone:  acceptable.

I have a motorhome and when I travel, I take along a guitar.  I use the Roland battery powered amp.
I think that it has great tone for its size and I have always liked the Roland Chorus effect.

I bought one to do my classical gigs with, since then
I have used it on a few jazz gigs with a singer and
bassist - the singer went through the Roland as
well as me.

A lot of research seems to have gone into speaker
design in recent years. This amp, like the Bose L1
seems to spread the sound and sounds louder than it looks.

For a cafe or church gig it is excellent - obviously
if you are having to compete with "machine gun" type
drummer or the type of player who brings a Marshall 200w
stack to a small club then you could have problems.

A very nice amp with reverb and chorus built in.

Cheers

Will

I just bought one on Sunday and used it last night on a gig at a small restaurant and bar. Went great on battery power with many people coming up and complimenting my sound. A real winner for me.
