Battery powered amps for busking; SHOW ME WHAT YOU GOT!

[Kilometers Davis]

I’m aware of pignose, that’s about it. Trying to see what else is out there and what folks are liking, not liking and why.

So, without further ado

Tone Revival 9 Volts of Glory. Not sure how it would work for busking, but I like it when I need something extremely simple and portable.

I haven't done any busking but I have 3 amps that might work well. Yamaha THR10, Vox Adio, Vox DA5.

I don't even care what it sounds like. That thing just looks cooler than hell.

EDIT: Just saw the price. Holy crap!

Bose S1 + Zoom G3 (if electric). Or, Cube street Ex.

But I preferred the Bose’s integrated lithium battery than fiddling about with AA’s...

 

[ProToneThinline]

Bose S-1. A little pricey, but worth it.

It is pricey, but it is also unique and may not be for everyone. I like mine.

I'm thinking about getting one of these, have you spent any time playing through one?

If so, are they loud enough? I read they were lacking in bass, is this true to the point of being problematic?

Thanks.

Yeah, they are plenty loud, not problematic at all, get them on the street and you will get have a good volume to a crowd around you.

Are they loud enough to sit in with a Jazz band?

Yes, it should do the job.

My Buddy is using his at a Blues jam in a bar setting, he has been very happy with it. 50W/25W power and plenty loud. We bought the stand for it which helps further by raising it off the ground.
