Greetings everyone

I have a question about a specific type of personal amp that I have been searching for for ages,but having trouble finding.
And before anyone jumps on the "use the search option" poduim; I have!
And it has led me here.
I know I am from a time of way back when and things have changed a bit,so I need to be brought up to speed,if you don't mind.

What I am looking for is something similar to an old piece of kit called a Rockman(WAY back when!).
You plugged your guitar into it and a pair of headphones and you could hang it on your belt.
Thats was it. Except for the one that had a tape player you could play along with(yes,CASSETTE :D ).

Does anyone know if such a gadget is still available and where I could find it?
Of course,cassette player not required ;)

I am just looking for something I can have for when stuck on the train and without annoying those around me.

Any advice would be greatful.

Thank you all!


Damien

I just bought one of these to check it out, haven't received it yet, so not sure how good it is. It's got a speaker and headphone jack.

I almost got one of these, they don't have a speaker

I actually have a Rockman in mint condition. Been thinking about putting it on Ebay. But I always talk myself out of it.
