Gallien-Kruger 200MV
This is a great little “Swiss-Army amp”, with a 100W power amp, two six inch speakers, and the ability to drive an external speaker. Designed to be used as a vocal monitor, the we’ve used this three-channel unit for everything from amplifying acoustic instruments, including upright bass fiddles, at “jam session” levels, to powering a couple “speakers on sticks” as a stand-alone system. Here’s what GK says about it:
“The 200MV can also be used as a kind of 'Mini PA' for the one man
show situation. The auxiliary inputs on the rear panel can be used for
drum machines or bass line machines, while the two regular inputs on the front panel can be used for vocals and a guitar or keyboards."
Crate TX50DB “Limo”
Battery powered, 50W two-channel amp.
Similar to the GK 200MV, except no external power cord needed! Take your jam session or impromptu concert to the beach, campground, or anywhere else where 110 VAC is unavailable. Details at: http://www.crateamps.com/products/pindex.php?prodID=26
Crate TXB50 “Bass Bus”
Battery powered companion to the TX50DB above, this little powerhouse lets the bass player perform “off the grid” along with other musicians. Info at: http://www.crateamps.com/pdf/manuals/TXB50_OM.pdf
