The qualifications to appear on this page are that the amp must
be small, portable and ideally operate on batteries to be the
ideal travel partner. See also
the page on
headphone amps for guitars
and travel guitars - some of
which have a speaker or headphone amp on-board..
Some Low
watt valve amps |
attenuators are also an option.

Simple Amps Traveler
Called a
traveler but with a 10 inch speaker 35 watts starting point its
getting into the ZT Lunchbox territory with no battery power.
Included as someone referred me to it on a forum. A simple two
stage preamp and pair of output tubes drive a Jensen 10" MOD
speaker mounted in a 9 Ply (1/2) baltic birch cabinet with a
heavy duty ruggedized finish. The "Traveler" brings a surprising
roar to the table in spite of it's diminutive size. Available
with 6V6’s, 6L6’s or EL34’s. |
