Battery travel amp

[Alexis Lambert]

Anyone recommend a small battery travel/practice amp?

Cant go wrong with the Vox Mini 3 or 5.

I can vouch for the Vox Mini 3. It's a great little amp.

Even the mighty Vox AC1 produces quite an impressive little tone especially if
say an equally portable echo (Zoom508) is connected up!!!

I have a mini 3 and it dose the biz, but a mate of mine has a Roland Micro Cube and it's working much longer on batteries and sound the biz too....

Thanks all. Has anyone tried the Vox headphone amp?

Yes, I have the headphone amp (Amp plug) as well as a Mini 3 and the tiny AC-1 Rhythm, they're all OK but I find that I rarely use the Amp Plug and favour the Mini 3 for it's versatility.

I've just won a Blackstar Fly3 special edition (It has a Union Jack grill cloth) mini amp.
The specs look interesting - built in "tape" delay up to 250ms, Equalizer and mp3 dock so you can play along, 3W ouput.

Not sure I want to keep it so will be loathe to unbox it when it arrives to check it out. I suppose I could be careful!

Oh, and first post...Hello!

I was going to The Shadows event at Lakeside tomorrow, but unfortunately a family birthday has been moved.

Arrive yesterday and gave it a quick try out. Wow! Didn't realise there was a clean/overdrive button.

I stuck it on clean, the gain at 10 o'clock, volume at 3 o'clock, their special tone system fully to the right for "British", delay at 10 o'clock and the little delay volume button turned up a bit, and it gave a very passable clean echo sound for practicing.

I've not experimented with the overdrive yet.

Vox mini 3 arrived yesterday, had a quick play last night. Does the job
