I think Wayne is reight that the Mouse amps are no longer available. I
had one for a long time and it worked well, although there were not many
ways to adjust the sound, like there are now in newer amps. The Mouse
had a battery and it could also be plugged in, so it was quite
versatile. Now I have a Mackie SRM150, which is about the size of a car
battery and it has 2 inputs, which can be useful. It's just the thing
when you only need to be a little bit louder and the listeners will be
put off by seeing lots of cords and wires. If you need a bit louder
amplification you can send a line out to a another powered speaker.

So I have the Hog 30, which is very clean with good bass, though nowhere
near as loud as a cranked 30 watt tube amp. I have a Sennheiser 441
mic (which is kind of expensive these days) on a nice boom stand
which can be adjusted to be about 2.5 feet high,
with a cable and a low to high impedance line transformer (by Shure or Hosa).
I set the mic up on its stand in front of me and put the Pignose off to
the side. My wife uses a Mini-Mouse which is a very nice amp, but
with its smaller speaker the bass isn't as good, and I think it is
not made anymore.
There is a picture with me playing the g**tar at

It is over a foot tall, so not as portable as the little one, but has
big rechargeable batteries that last a long time, and if what goes in
sounds like a lute, what comes out sounds like a lute.
This is of interest to me, since I sometimes need amplification for outdoor
gigs. From your reference to Sennheiser, I take it you use a microphone for
the lute, rather than having some sort of pickup installed. Could you say more
about how this works? A picture might help.
