Take a look at the Roland Micro Cube amp.  A friend of mine has one.  Good sound, small and has lots of effects built in.  Only problem is that it isn't cheap, but to be honest quality rarely is.

i have a Roland MicroCube.  . there are a couple of models and i got the older one on ebay for $75AUD so $50 ish USD? takes batteries or a wall wart.. only thing is you can have delay OR reverb but not both. not sure if the Line 6 has this limitation..but its also a great little amp.

Vox Mini 5 Rhythm has (as you might expect) built in rhythms, plus a separate mic input. Not tried one but it may be worth a look.  Good luck with your quest :-)

thanks to all of you, those minis and cubes look nice to have

another question:
what about a realy smal light amp (more or less just a speaker) but a modeler like the line6 pocket (or something like that) in between, ... does such a thing make sense?

- i really would like it lightweight
- and it would be nice to have many sounds, rhythm and drums .... but id be happy with one good sound for my CBG
- my budget is realy smal

You have 3 choices: Roland MicroCube, Roland MicroCube or Roland MicroCube. Don't mess around, don't think about it,  just buy a Roland MicroCube.

Or go on eBay (other s/h gear sites are available) and check out used MicroCubes. I marginally prefer my VX1, but it has to be plugged in...

Seasick Steve uses a MicroCube. Nuff said.

He used to use Roland Cube 30 watt, which is similar in terms of the modelling and effects but a lot bigger and more powerful.

They seem great  but to heavy and expensive ;-)

and one more questions

- what about those Vox amplugs combined with a smal speaker?

. or those jambottleamps combinied with some effects?

it surely would be great to have many features but the 2 first priorities are weight and price

oh my, i really dont know anything about this and theres another question, can i also play acoustic guitars over it? or only electric?

I've been off and done some research. There's your MicroCube, or a Vox Mini 3 which looks lighter and a little cheaper. Got a rudimentary drum machine, port for mic and another for a mobile device. You pays your money and you takes your choice as they say in these parts...

You cannot realistically go portable with effects add-ons ime- you need battery packs, pedal board and a mile of wire. Good luck!
