My first thought was to get a lightning cap from Crutchfield, but jeez, those are a hundred bucks a pop. Is there a less expensive solution? Anyone?... Anyone?... Bueller?...

Here's a quick and dirty, but usable solution for you... I've got a battery rigged up which gets its power from a radio shack adapter. As I mentioned elsewhere, the power adapter that I bought from radio shack causes the empeg to reboot on itsown, but it works fine when connected to battery then to the empeg..
The battery that I got was a simple 5 amp, 12volt alarm battery available from radio shack.. it was only 20-30$ or so.. (can't remember); it is a simple sealed lead-acid battery...
