Hahaha holy crap I look bad with a mo

anyway to answer your questions: back then I was using a 30w aer amp powered by a motorcycle 12v battery and small inverter.

As mentioned, my current band is called Mojo Jacket: look us up on facebook for details

How does he get amplified?

I guess not by alcaline batteries...any idea anyone?

Feel free to pm me to suggest me a good way to get amplified on the road, thanks in advance :)

Hi Buddy. I didnt notice what he was using for power however at that voloume he is probably only doing 2 or 3 watts. An amplifier of that power can be powered by any batteries. Most buskers I have seen use a 12v motorbike battery or a small car battery. You can then use a 12v preamp and a car type amp. Very simple. This might sound funny to you but years ago I built an amp into a 5 litre plastic oil container. 10watt amp and a 10watt 8 inch speaker Worked great!.

Why does he have a mic and an amp? That's cheating.
