If you already have an amp that you like but isn't battery-powered I suggest getting a lithium-ion portable power supply. There are a zillion of them on Amazon at different price points and capacities. You should be able to find one that'll power what you have for many hours for ~$100-ish.

The Quilter Superblock US can be run by a standard 9V battery in a box, I do it regularly. Not loud, but usable in many situations. If you want an actual combo amp, then buy a power station and use any solid state Class D amp you like, most will run for hours on a small power station. There is no need for a station that will power a house, just a few watts is enough.

I use a Yamaha Stagepas 100 battery-powered PA with deArmond-equipped acoustic archtops for big band rehearsals. Lightweight, rechargeable, 3 channels, sounds great.

You can try GSS Jazz cat or GSS
Crazy Cat.

The Bose S1 and EV Everse8 were designed for this purpose.

That being said, I use a lithium battery for AC power at gigs. Anker batteries costs a bit more but I think they make the best ones. Note sale prices and price histories. You have to time the purchase to get a decent deal.

I use the JBL Eon Compact for folk dance gigs, playing my 10-string acoustic mandolin. Lots of battery life, a handy P.A./instrument amp. That said, for electric I couldn't dial in a good tone, so I use a GK MB200.

Bose S1 pro, for acoustic nylonstring and electric archtop. Battery is good for my usual 3/4 hrs on stage, it sounds/feels like an amp, unlike many other monitors I tried. Not the cheapest but lightweight, tilts up, 3 inputs, all-round good gear.

Do you mean an acoustic guitar equipped with a piezo or magnetic pickup?

I have done this and it’s a great solution. One of these will power my Quilter for hours and it’s pretty small.

Electrovoice Everse; JBL EON. I have the Everse 12 running on its rechargeable battery pack that sounds superb with the Fishman Aura Spectrum and Tonedexter plugged into it. The JBL EON is very nice, too.

I have the MESA Rosette 10, too. I prefer the tone of the EV Everse 12 with pedals.
