MGR/John Mc « Danelectro Honeytone Mini Amp »
Published on 12/14/01 at 15:00I purchased this mini amp at Guitar Trader in San Diego for $22.00. I bought the amp because I live in a pretty quiet condominium community and wanted something small and that I could play at a reasonable volume. I also travel often so I wanted something portable.
This amp is truly amazing for it's diminutive size. At only 5 inches high by 5 inches wide, this little amp gives you both a full clean sound as well as a vintage sounding distortion when you turn up the overdrive. Definitely not an amp for band practice, the volume does go high enough to satisfy most apartment dwellers and scare away the cats. It even looks cool, definitely retro in style, coming in colors such as Beatnick Burgandy and Daddy-O-Yellow. I bought the Nifty Aqua model. It also comes with a belt loop so you can hook it right to your jeans, as it weighs next to nothing, and run around the house unrestricted doing your Angus Young impression.
It uses a 9 volt battery which it seems to burn through rather quickly when you turn up the volume. The Danelectro 9 volt adapter for the amp doesn't seem to be available at most retailers who sell the amp, so you might have to search around for it.
The unit is basically made of plastic with separate volume, tone and overdrive knobs and a headphone and input jack. For $22.00 its seems to be built well though I wouldn't want to drop it on a hard surface as it is made of plastic.
This is a really cool little amp that would make a great stocking stuffer or gift for any guitar player; beginner or pro. It's portability makes it fun for anyone who travels, wants to walk around and play or wants to toss their amp in the drawer quickly when their wife comes home and asks what they've been doing all day. The retro look would appeal to anyone and for about $20.00 bucks the sound is amazing. I do recommend you buy the adapter so you don't have to keep heading to the store for batteries that will quickly add up to more money than you paid for the amp. Overall I recommend the amp highly.
