I've just purchased this amp (mainly for busking purposes but also for small gigs) to replace my Vox DA-5, and the difference is immense. It sounds really great. This thread certainly helped my decision.

However, I'm really having an issue with the volume drops discussed earlier in this thread. When using batteries, if I hit the guitar percussively, even just hitting the strings with my picking hand to stop the sound or percussively slap the strings with my thumbpick, the volume drops for a couple of seconds. Did anyone find any fix for this? It doesn't only happen when the volume is all the way up either.

I'm really liking this amp, but this issue could be a deal breaker for me. I've ordered the best rechargeable duracells I could find, so if it's a power issue hopefully it'll help.

Also, are there any more suggestions for affordable carry bags/backpacks suitable for this? I like being able to put it on my back if possible.

Thanks!
