If you know how to solder build your own amp. I suspect that those
battery powered amps don't have any special characteristics comparable
to those of big amps. Resp. if there are low cost battery amps, I would
test the cheapest.

A review in German says that the amp should be ok, if you need amp
simulation.

I suspect that if you need all the features you can't build an amp
yourself for that price. Since you don't need it, why paying that much
money?
