Loudbox Mini Charge amp?
Is this showing up in stores yet? Just wondering if there are any real world reviews. I have a standard mini but would love the portability of a battery powered amp. Does it sound the same as the standard mini? Any battery issues or other problems?

Saw one at my local Guitar Center last weekend. Looked nice. Didn't try it out.

I played through one just the other day and compared directly to a standard Loudbox Mini. The charge, run on battery, has a similar sound but differs distinctly in two ways. It runs at lower output power (at least on battery, as compared to a mini plugged in the wall sitting next to it) and has a generous cut bass shelf built in. It’s more tame sound that is less romantic, at least given this 15 minute test.
I plugged in an M80 equipt Guild F40 (the M80 isn’t particularly hot on the output) and did not test vocals. |

Depends how you like your tone. I like an artificially big bloom in my bass, so for me, the standard mini is better. If you’re into a more controlled, pure sound, the charge version is more for you. They both sound good and though the difference in he bass isn’t subtle, they sound otherwise very similar.

Loudbox Mini Charge Battery is Sealed Lead Acid
I've got one coming on the UPS truck today. I'll post a review when I've had some time to shake it down. I did contact Fishman support to find out the battery type: sealed lead acid. The downside of SLA is weight, but the plus side is a simple universal charger and a vast selection of batteries for sale which will make future replacement simple (no battery lasts forever).

I’ve used the Loudbox mini with the Baggs M80 mostly, but also a ton of time on a Fishman undersaddle/PUTW quackbuster combo and also quite a bit of time on a Fishman undesaddle/JJB two sensor combo. I don’t own a K&K so can’t say much about it.
