Danelectro E15 Danelectro E-Studio W/Echo

Okay, it's funky in looks - but the closest I came to an equivalent was 2.5X times the price with a LOT less features. Its hammy distortion and echo are actually fun and replace a couple of external pedals and the unit connects easily with simple instrument cables to your guitar or bass guitar or keyboards or whatever. You practice in peace and quiet. But WAIT! It comes with a mini-jack AND a set of headphones. I've got an iPod and loads of headphones - these are actually a GOOD set of (stereo) headphones well worth the price of the unit itself. It comes with its own battery - no disappoint-ment for a giftee! But the other cool trick is that you can hook it and its "effects" back through to an instrument amp with an extra cable - How Fun Is That? - VERY!

Just to clarify, this headphone amplifier does NOT have a speaker. You must attach headphones (supplied) or your own amp/speakers.Also, it comes in either brown, green, or yellow AT RANDOM, and is meant to clip on your belt/pants. It's not built like a brick so don't step on it.Also, in the negative column, I found the distortion sound unpleasant when I cranked it to 11. However, setting the level to halfway or 2/3 of the way up produced an acceptable distorted sound. (I don't have a lot of experience with other cheap amps, though, so the Danelectro might not be the worst thing out there.)In the positive column, the clean sound was good, there was no hum, only a small amount of hiss, and the reverb was mild but pleasant. (There's no control over reverb level or speed, only an on/off button.) There's plenty of power to drive the supplied headphones at "loud enough to hurt your ears.)Grand total: 3 buttons (Power, Distortion on/off, Reverb on/off); 2 dials (volume control, distortion level); 3 jacks (guitar in, headphone out, line out); one LED.Bottom line: if you don't have a headphone practice amp already, getting one at the current low price is a no-brainer.

THis is a WONDERFUL little headphone amp! Finally, I can practice/play any time I choose, and I don't have to worry about bothering anyone else. The unit has a distortion effect and an echo effect. I love the quality of the echo effect so much, that I have actually used it on stage a few times in place of my (much more expensive) Rocktron Short timer Digital Delay. As others have mentioned, I replaced the headset with a quality (but not expensive) Sony set. But, at this price, it's hard to believe they include a headphone set of any kind! Don't listen to those who criticize its potential for "live" or "one-stage" use. IT'S NOT MEANT FOR THAT! If you use this to practice or to entertain yourself, without interfering with other people in the room, you are going to be thrilled. I also lay down chord tracks, on an inexpensive cassette recorder, and practice playing lead. If anything happens to this little amp, I will quickly replace it. I have encouraged all of my electric guitar students to purchase one, and I'll be giving them as gifts to friends who play. At less than $20.00, the Danelectro e-studio 15, is a tremendous bargain. The features, flexibility, functional design, and quality of the product are just OUTSTANDING. You just can't go wrong.

My 15 year old grandson is a new electric guitar player and his playing was starting to disturb a neighbor. I have done exhaustive research on the best headset amp for the money available.........not really a close second here. He loved it and expressed nearly more gratitude for the Danelectro Honeytone Headphone Amp than all our previous gifts combined.He loved absolutely everything about it....and at this price, it includes the headphone!!!!!!!!!!! (many if not most do not). Now thinking of getting one for myself.

This is for practicing only. It has no speaker. The included headphones sound pretty good to me and the echo effect is pretty nice. I can jam out at night without waking anybody up. It is really lightweight, so a light flexible patch cord is ideal.

A fun accessory, lets me move around and not get hung up in wires. Sound quality is fine for an amateur like me. The only downside is that it eats batteries faster than I thought it would. I love it -- and it happened to match my cute little Honeytone Amp (retro turquoise.)

this tool is a cool idea, having an echo effect in a small package.Not going to replace a unit costing 10x more.

Initially, it sounds great without the distortion effect. (The distortion effect is terrible.) However, after 20 minutes of use, it began emitting an ear-piercing, head-splitting, bizarre UFO-type siren noise. Unbelievable - it is going straight back to the seller if I can get return instructions, which are not provided with the product. Perhaps the worst online purchase I have ever made.
