Hi all,
Any recommendations for a battery powered festival/quiet jam amp for lap steel and 5 string electric mandolin? Thanks in advance.
Pete

Get a Jackery Power bank and then use any amp you like, with no compromise on power, playing time, speaker size, etc.
I have a medium size one and put it and my ZT Lunchbox in a small backpack for transport, and I can play all day, as loud as I need to, and even provide power to a couple of other people.
And then when the power goes off I can power some lights, etc.
I got this one, which probably is a bit overkill, but nice to have

Yamaha THX amps
The THX 10 is a few years old and less expensive
(Can be found used no prob). I use in a jam situation
With an electric guitar playing thru a Princeton. AC/DC
OR BATTERIES.

I've had an old Roland MicroCube for years, still works pretty good for those situations. Powered by batteries or wall wart,

Pete, I have the Roland Mobile Cube and an older Yamaha THR you can try out. I don’t love either one, but the Roland is louder, simpler, and built like a tank. The Yamaha sounds better, but is more delicate. Come try 'em out.
(I have a Spark Go and once you use the app to design replace the horrible factory settings, it’s Ok as a desktop practice amp. I’d like to try the Spark Mini sometime)
