About this deal

Remember that you can easily record this amp using its emulated line out! All images are for illustration purposes unless otherwise specified.

On the topic of power, as mentioned, it does take AA batteries, but it also takes a 9v DC adapter. The 9v adapter is sold separately, but we highly recommend purchasing this, because using 6 AA batteries at a time can become quite expensive.Yes, it is made from plastic and not solid wood, but it has the feel of a genuine guitar amp – with a superb finishing touch of a metal grill over the speaker. However, take into account that if you’re looking for an amp that can move some serious air and keep up with a full band, this definitely won’t work out very well. The sound and power are adequate for bedroom playing, small venues, or street performers, and 50 hours of battery life, at lower volumes, is the most generous we have found for battery-powered amps.

When you’re playing at full volume, you will only get around 4 hours of battery time without an extension cab. This can be a huge negative for road trips, busking, or providing a night of entertainment. However, you could override this issue by purchasing rechargeable batteries and a Smart Charger to ensure you have charged/charging batteries on the go. The fact that it comes with a built-in digital delay effect is amazing for an amplifier at such a low price point, so you should take that into account when shopping for a mini amp.
