has anyone tried any of the specially made for electric uke amps such as the suit case one by Luna ?
I have one, works great, Amazon , got it shipped for $92. I also have a Roland Micro Cube that is great also. Use both. Both, AC & DC
This one is worth a look too. Mine sounds great with MiSi pickup.

Why is it that these small amps don't have an XLR socket for microphone? All at least half way decent mics and even many cheap ones are fitted with an XLR plug, so are clearly meant to be used with a balanced connection.
It puts me off considering them, even those that come highly recommended.
Hi Geoff -
Faced with a similar problem recently, I picked up an XLR-1/4 converter that also change the impedance from low to high. Seemed to do the trick, and less than $15.
That's a neat little sucker, even if you already have another acoustic amp. Wonder what kind of harp amp it would make. Here's a demo that I like better than the factory one. Wasn't familiar with this, thanks for sharing.

In the $100 buck price range I have not found a better choice than the:

2 1/4" and 2 XLR inputs that can all be used at the same time
1 1/8" input for MP3 players and other sources
50 watts output power
2 woofers and 1 tweeter
Stand mountable

The main differences between the Kustom Personal PA and a full-featured acoustic amp such as the AC-33 or AC-60 are that the Kustom does not have any effects (unless a room is really "live", I like a little reverb on my vocals) and does not have any anti-feedback capabilities (which sometimes come in handy). That makes the PA-50 a less-than-all-in-one solution. Otherwise, I like the concept of daisy-chaining them together as needed.
