Some issues have been brought up that, in order to know whether a small AA battery powered amp can work, need to be answered.
Do you sing and play or just play?
If you sing, are you a loud singer? Are you a whisper to a scream kind of singer (like Chris Cornell was)?
Where's your intended location? Large space, open street, subway, bar? City, small town, in a park? Other buskers near?
is the dual use of an AC powered amp that can work both with a battery when needed and cover a bar gig when it needs to important for you?
What time of day/night are you planning for?
How long do you need battery power to cover?
I'm sure there are more concerns to cover but these questions will help greatly. Many people here play gigs like farmers markets and enjoy a kind of quiet that's very much different than city, or subway playing and their needs are covered with far less power. If I were trying to gauge whether a tiny amp could work, I'd be sure to think about how limiting its max output would be, in terms of where I could successfully play. A more powerful amp can play almost anywhere.
