Mini Portable Electric Guitar Practice Amplifier

I bought this amp just so i could be free to play around my house or even outside, instead of being stuck only where my amp is. (let me tell you, it's just not worth it to drag a 40 pound speaker downstairs just to play somewhere different). the mini amp works great. its really light and as simple to use as it could possibly be. the sound is crisp when the volume not at full blast. you get a distortion-like sound when you turn the volume all the way up. when i do want the full sound of my 40lb amp, the portable one fits perfectly in my case. i would definitely recommend this thing, it's fantastic.

I really was very disappointed in this product. It produces so much static noise I find it unusable. Only when the volume is turned nearly off will it produce sound without static... and it fits very loosely into both my guitars' jacks - so I think the plug is not quite in proper specifications (size) and may be the cause of the static - for me, it was just like throwing money away, and I would not recommend this to anyone. Buy a small amplifier that will at least be usable instead of this thing - even if it isn't as convenient to take with you. It also seems cheaply made - very light and fragile, and I think it is a product that was made where there is no quality control.

Title says it. It amplifies the sound, but swivels down once plugged into the guitar. There's no real way to make it point forward unless you prop it against a table or something.

I have had this little amp since 2007 and like it a lot.Sometimes, you just want to get out somewhere different to play some tunes, but do not want or have the ability to lug around an amp. Now, although I do have a great battery powered Crate amp, this little practice amp is just right when you want to play to yourself and not fiddle around with cables and amps.I have taken this to work for some quick plucking, and I like it. I have also brought it along to a goofing around gig session, and my buddies dug it a lot. Don't expect big sound from this, as it wasn't built for that. It provides decent amplification for intimate surroundings...but does get "dirty" when the volume on the guitar is turned up...which is quite cool. It will start to "Buzz & crackle" when the battery is low, so always carry a spare. Takes little room and looks cool hanging off the guitar and some have inquired how am I playing the guitar without an amp? I used it for lessions at a guitar school, where all around me were acoustics, and I stood out with my little amp.The on/off switch is easily bumped on sometimes if you are not careful while in the guitar gig bag. What I have done is to disconnect a battery terminal while not in use and problem solved.I highly recommed this mini practice amp for a backup to your usual arsenal of amps.Joe

Great little device, not alot of volume, and the 9 volt Battery doesn't last long, but great for easy and convenient practicing!

I bought this to use as a practice amp in my stratocaster because of the size and ease of use. I haven't been able to use it yet because it does't fit the female receiver is too big and the amplifier jack too small. :-(. So now I am looking for an adapter or ?? It is a pain.The little amp I bought works well and is light. OK just for practice in the bedroom sort of stuff....

I used one of these little practice amps for a few month before the new, more powerful, two volume and tone level, unit with a slightly [bigger speaker?] came out. It was fine for what it did, but the new model is well worth the few bucks more it costs, so get it or one of the other higher rated amps. This one should have been closed out for around ten buck IMO.

First off, the price from this seller is a good one. Even with added shipping, I don't think you could find it cheaper anywhere. The seller ships very promptly too! I got this to practice in front of my computer with some guitar programs. As mentioned before, it sure beats lugging the amp from upstairs around every time I need it.The good: Very portable, batteries seem to last a while if you remember to turn it off when you're done, decent sound from a very small speaker, not noisy at all.The bad: The jack stem seems just a tad undersized. Mine has fallen out when playing once. But I've had amp cords do the same thing. The speaker housing rotates on a caster so it ends up pointing down to the floor a lot. I'd much prefer it to be always pointing straight out. The speaker is small, there's no getting around that, so don't expect booming lows. But for what it is, it works pretty well.Having used mine for a week now, I would buy it again if I needed to. It's good for what it is.
