Going battery powered?
Hello, Loopies.
I've been wanting to do street gigs for a while now.
I've completely stripped my setup down, do all my looping in the computer, and I think it's in principle achievable, but I can't seem to quite find the right setup to put it together.
The computer has its own batteries, the interface runs off the computer. However, I have one 9V unit (a Yamaha VL-70) and of course I'd need amplification.
The idea thing would be a battery-powered amp that also had a 9V output (invertible) and that was rechargeable on 110V/220V. I've searched but unfortunately these terms are all common in amp descriptions, appropriate or not.
I'm also wondering whether I couldn't rig together something from off-the-rack electronics parts... I get a "big battery", step its power to 9V and whatever an amp uses internally, and then get rid of the amp's internal transformer.... my knowledge of practical electronics is small but I speak the language and know people who could put things together for me...
Thoughts?
By the way, I'm gigging quite a bit more these days, drop me a line if you aren't on my mailing list and would like to be.
