light weight to carry. it has enough inputs xlr, 4, to accommodate my
looping show. yummy ...

Excellent story. Can we hear the tape, (MP3) ?

I'm fired up and will be ready to busk when the temperature rises a good 
few
degrees above zero.
I'll just be taking my trusty old 8080, my beezarre geetarre and a hand 
drum
or two, (think I'll leave the capybara at home : )).

What are the groups  opinions on the best sort of portable amp for busking
loops ?
I've often thought of building some speakers, an amp and a battery into the
case that I carry my instruments in. Does such a thing exist commercially ?
Advice anyone?
