Intermittent means it comes and goes and isn't constant.
You wrote in your previous posts that the 'electricity line is poopie' and you can't use house power. I am trying to understand how you intend to power the new rig you want to buy. Do you need a rig that runs off batteries? The power section of an amp will need power from somewhere.

No, hamsters in a wheel would not be a very effective way of powering an amp, just as sarcasm is not a very effective way getting advice from people.
What's the best hamster powered rig for metal?
I don't remember, are you renting the house or did you buy it? If the latter, it would make a lot more sense to get the electrical in the house corrected.
We bought one of these for camping... it runs my SWR Spellbinder Blue for hours and hours, no problem.
Maybe you can keep your rig.
Here's my MROD from last night -- a Mesa Subway D800+ into a Genz-Benz STL-8T. This was for a gypsy jazz trio at a coffee shop. I often use the GK MB 200 for such a gig, but I thought I'd try overkill with the amp. Wow, was I happy! So flexible, so easy to move a few knobs and find the right sound in the room. Bass was a 60's Univox hollowbody with flats; I was going for a sweet thick tone somewhere between a tuba and an upright bass. I pushed the gain up quite a bit and used the voicing control to hit the sweet spot. (Milk crate also an essential component!)

Not only is it a rectangular crate, so it gets your cabinet up even higher than tyical square milk crate, but it also looks like it even be just large enough to carry both the cabinet and the head!
Exactly! Everything fit into the crate (including cables, sheet music and collapsible music stand) except the bass!
I've had that crate a reallllly long time - it's been a champ. It's a real milk crate, made of stiff, strong plastic, not like the flimsy ones you can buy today at the big box stores.

I run my Quilter BB800 on top of my Shuttle-8T cab. Sometimes on top of a rectangular milk crate horizontal, sometimes vertical. The cab fits *perfectly* with the Quilter head/case tucked inside.
Killer rig for far more things than you think it would work for.
Nice little rig!
I like the HyDrives. They're not my main cabinets, but I have a pair of HyDrive 210s and I think they sound really nice.
