« So simple, yet so satisfying. »

Published on 10/21/11 at 21:40
Solid state
1W amp
1 1/2 inch speaker
9v battery powered (included)
1/4 inch input jack
1/4 inch external speaker jack (defeats the internal speaker)
External speaker jack powers 4, 8, or 16 ohm cabinets
That's it! It's very simple. Also includes stickers and a card detailing proper operation, not that you'd need a manual...

UTILIZATION

This amp is the coolest! It's the size of a cigarette pack, and some of them come inside a cigarette pack as the packaging. There are no knobs, switches, buttons, or lights - plug in, turn the guitar up, and jam! This doesn't get very loud on its own, and it sounds a bit ratty, but it's enough to practice with. I

SOUNDS

On its own, it's ok. Adequate for practice, I'd say. Plugged into an external cabinet, this thing roars! It sounds a lot like an old JCM 800 amp. At least an old JCM 800 that used to belong to me - that's my only JCM 800 reference. Anyways, this amp sounds a lot like that one. All volume/gain controls must be done from the guitar, as well as any tone knob changes. This amp is so simple, yet so satisfying.

The 8 is because the internal speaker sounds bad, but using an external speaker this amp gets downright spooky good and loud. AC/DC should use these in the studio.

OVERALL OPINION

$25 is a STEAL for something this cool! This is a perfect stocking stuffer, birthday present, gift for yourself... And it costs less than the price of an ultra cheap stomp box! I am so impressed with this amp, I've bought four, and I've given two away. There's a version with cigarette packaging, for adults or for smokers, and then there's the version with a plastic casing, which is probably more durable, and doesn't send a smoking message to children. Either way, this amp smokes!
