YMC PG-05 5W Electric Guitar Amp Portable Amplifier Speaker with Volume Tone Control

UPDATE : i've purchased 3 of these from this exact listing, and I have to say, these sound the best UNTIL they die. The same thing goes wrong with these every time and they end up getting blown out some how. I don't know if it's the speaker blowing out, or the amp, but after a few months the sound becomes unusable. It's a real shame cause these really do sound the best at first, they just don't last.I use a lot of mini amps, and specifically a lot of these "PG-05" models, and these are the only ones that blow out regularly like this. Again it's a real shame cause these sound great until they blow out.ORIGINAL REVIEW:Sounds so much better than all the other little mini/micro amps I've used. I've tried the "TS" brand of the PG-05 and it was awful compared to this one! plus I've used the mini-Marshall amps, the fender deluxe mini, the Dean Markley Mini Amp, and a handful of others, and this is by far the best one I've used.Some of the 5 watt amps have a real high pitched painful tone, but not this one! So far so good, if anything changes, will update.

Good small. Perfect for beginner like me the little on/off toggle knob broke on the inside so I just take the battery out luckily it was left on on side.Has bit of noise to it but I have w compressor pedal it be hitting can get loud

I love this form factor and price, and I actually liked this amp as long as it worked so I gave 1 star of alms, but that may be too charitable because these often break completely almost immediately. I knew from other reviews, and two previous goes, that these things were super-cheap crummy and break spontaneously if they work at all, but I really wanted one that works, so I decided to roll the dice again for $18.It really worked great for about 4 months and has a decent acceptable sound for such a tiny cheap unit so I was satisfied, but then (and I had been using it VERY carefully/gingerly the whole time) all of a sudden it started distorting and glitching, then progressed to short-circuity kinda' sounds, then it died permanently...3rd one. Maybe I got $18 worth of good use...probably not.Only get one of these if you are zen enough to be at peace with the transitory nature of all things, because though pretty OK sounding if they happen to work, said functionality is often VERY transitory.

Dislike

My mom is in a memory care facility. She loves music & loves to sing. I can pack up my acoustic electric Ukalalee and speaker with ease, I'm happy and she's happy, WIN WIN.

The clear sound or setting never worked,the over drive sounded fine and I played guitar for couple of hours;I turned off and later the same day I tried to show my Wife that it was a cool little amp and the amp did not work at all.I tried the headphones aux and only static came out of it,same thing with the amp.I'm not surprised about the situation but I think that if the makers of this amp spent 5 more minutes in setting it up,it could actually be a reliable amp.No hard feelings on my part but I think that is partly my fault for thinking that $15 would buy me better quality.

For what this thing is plugged straight in it's a 15 dollar amp it sounds like carp but I plugged my zoom gxf4 in and I was impressed what this thing was able to do I'm happy with it

I really hate when you buy something and it DOESN'T BRING a POWERCORD or not even a BATTERY. And yeah it ask you what do you like the most. Well my favorite part is that I can't turn it on.
