Some people don’t believe in playing with a different amp when you’re just practicing alone, but for those that do, you often only need a smaller version of the power that you’re going to want to use at live shows.
Mini amps are low wattage and low weight. A lot of them can run without being plugged in, which makes them easy and portable. Just like regular-sized amps, there are mini amps that include only basic features, and some with more advanced effect.
You have to compromise power for such a small package but a lot of these mini amps can really hold their own when it comes to the sound and volume that they can produce.
