| Anyone have any hot tips for a good sounding battery powered system for tent camping? Headphones only should be fine along with cd player and ideally some reverb would be nice. Thanks |

I got a Boss Micro BR that is pretty cool. Lots of effects, drum tracks, 4track recorder, mp3 etc.
It fits in your guitar case about 5-3/8"x3-1/4"X7/8",
runs on two AA batteries (bring more). Its pretty cool...

At the KSGA several guys were warming up with a little Dan Electro unit. Maybe some one will come on and tell us what it was.

Yup That's the one.
I just took a MicroCube camping.
DON'T forget enough cords.
It uses 6 AAs and they lasted the couple nights that I used it. Bring plenty, of course.
You can plug in a Pocket Pod like I did, which is incidentally another GREAT camping or roadtrip deal that runs ear plugs very well, and lasts even longer. 4 steady hard hours on some AAAs.
Anyhow. I ran a line in from my Zen Player, to play along with tracks I had on it. 15 hrs on a USB charge for the Zen 2Gb. In from my Pod for my favorite models and compression/Delay. No compression on the Cube, or "reverb/delay" combos.
Like I said, make sure you have the right cords. I forgot one and had to cannibalize a set of earphones and wire direct to my guitar jack..
LOud for what it is, and the Batts seem to last a good while.
My vote for both it and the Pocket Pod.

I also vote for the MicroCube, it's a great little amp and the delay and reverb sound pretty good. Of course you can't use both at the same time but it works great just the same. Oh, it's also got chorus, flanger,phaser, tremelo along with amp modeling and a tuner

You're going to take a pedal steel camping?
That's dedication! |

Apon re-reading, I'd say the Pocket Pod at 129$ hands down. I take it it's just 6 string.
It also has an input jack for CD/MP3, stereo output phones, and 4 hrs solid and steady playing on AAA cells. Reverb delay and compression. All at once. And overdrive of course.
Light, small, and sturdy.
Speaker amp, it's the Boss Micro. Surprisingly light on battery appetite,
The Roland MicroBR I have EATS batteries.
Have a good trip.
