If you are planning to start basking consider using a car battery and convertor you will get better results
what categories of amp can this be used with?
can you give a URL to show what you mean by a converter?

I have a roland microcube... symply amazing and sounds loud.... it´s a great amp... baterries for 20 hous!!!! six batteries are neccesary but... 20 hours!!!!!
and I use it for recors all my lessons... you can plug mp3, direct out, mic in, etc... great amp... I know it serve me years... sure!!!
this is different from the Roland Cube Street?
I revisited the shop again today before reading your reply, the Roland Cube Street uses 6 x 1.5V AA batteries, it seems unbelievable
that you can power a guitar amp with 6 AA batteries!
But they had a lot of different Roland's, and some were for 85 quid which is a lot cheaper than the Roland Cube Street.
The Cube Street has I think 2 loudspeakers, and they had some with 4 loudspeakers.
They have a huge amount of amp products, eg by Peavey, Orange, Fender (eg Superchamp) and others, with guitars also they have products going up to about 2500 quid!
As regards mains amps they had eg Vox Night Train which is amp only,
They also had some gigantic amps, all sizes eg suitcase size and sizes a lot bigger than that, and some of these not too expensive,
there were also recording studio equipment. They had a wierd guitar by yamaha called "silent guitar" which has amp built into the
guitar, the guitar mainly consists of the neck with just the outline of the rest, with the amp built into the base of the neck.
My priorities are firstly the sound quality for undistorted sound ie clarity for guitar notes without effects,
then if the amp can do special effects eg chorus. Loudness is not so important as I cannot really play
the amp too loudly as I live in a city and it would annoy the neighbours and for busking someone could complain
if its too loud.

Look, valves demands constant voltage! Bad sound of Valve amp is manifested through a valves,in the first place! The batteries can quickly spend, what will be the sound after half an hour? If you want a mobile amplifier then take solid state
!
if the amp is used less loudly how does that affect the battery time?
if a battery lasts 30 minutes, then if you used 2 batteries in parallel that would last 1 hour and
4 would last 2 hours. ie a valve amp could be made to last as long as was wanted by making the
battery big enough. If it was manufactured to last 4 times as long then probably it would take 4 times as long
to charge,
