Tweed covered wooden cabinet, with black epiphone nameplate and rubber feet.
Volume and tone controls, clean and overdrive switch, headphone jack and a 3" speaker.
A whooping 1 watt output. Runs off one 9V battery or you can hook it up to a standard 9V AC adaptor
Although it's not exactly feature packed it's worth a 7 because it doesn't do badly for a little practice amp.
Sound: [6]
You never can expect too much from a mini practice amp but for what it is and costs it's not too bad. It's got no reverb but hooked up with my Korg Pandora you can get some great sounds from it.
It's nice that it has a clean and overdrive channel so at least it can suit a few more playing styles. Reliability & Durability: [9]
Well there's not much to go wrong just a little solid state circuitry. What's more the cabinet is actually made from wood so it's a lot tougher than some of these mini practice amps.
Using it at home definately requires a power supply as it'll eat the little 9V battery that it takes. At least you can take it out busking if you needed to. Overall Rating: [8]
For a little amp it's definately good fun. I love old style amps and this looks like a scaled down version of an early Fender or Peavey Classic style amps.
I'd love it if they did a 1 watt all valve version but I think perhaps that is hoping for too much.
For what it is it's a great little tool. Either for it's portability/busking aspect, for the kids room or even getting that different sound in your home studio.
A reverb would have been a nice touch but I think that would put these mini amps into a completely different price point. |
