 The Mini 3 was another I was considering. In the UK it costs the same as the Vox DA5, about £79, whereas the Mobile Cube comes in at £109, which is much less than a $70 difference (maybe $45). I am sorely tempted by that ability to fix it to a mic stand, so, unless someone can convince me that the Mobile Cube is somehow vastly inferior... I always have to find somewhere on a seat or on the floor in the pub to sit my amp, but getting it airborne would save a seat at least for someone else and, more importantly, would get my sound up and out there...
