I have this guy:
http://www.crateamps.com/products/pindex.php?prodID=25
It has one of those brick-sized lead-acid batteries
so it has plenty of amps to burn. There is a 'clean'
input with a 4-channel eq section. I tried two
other battery powered solutions before this one and
sent them back. They couldn't handle the bass at
high volume. I stuck with this one.
My model must actually be different than the one
I linked to, because mine has an effects loop where
this one has the CD input.

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. Nancy
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.

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.
