There's the "Mini Mouse" with one input, and the "Maxi Mouse" with 2 inputs
each with it's one tone and volume control. I have a couple of the latter.
They're good for about 4 hours, perhaps more, depending on how many inputs
are used and how loud they're turned up. Expensive, yes--I paid just under
$500 each some years ago. 

I think there's another besides the Fender "Amp Can", maybe "Crate"
something? And a couple of years ago I saw another but don't have any info.
