30-watt solid-state amp.
The synthetic leather covering gives it a very nice vintage look.
3-band EQ
Its main advantage is that it works with a lead battery. So you can play for hours without AC connection.
The amp is provided with a big external battery charger.
UTILIZATION
The fact that the controls are placed on the bottom instead of the top is a real problem. It isn't an issue when it's on top of a table but it's very annoying when it's on the floor.
The battery has a very long life. It has happened several times that I forget the charger at home when I take it to rehearsals and the battery life was long enough to finish the rehearsal.
The speaker efficiency and output power easily allow you to play it with other acoustic instruments. My dream was to play on a hill under a tree with some friends playing acoustic guitar and djembe. The HOG30 made this dream come true.
SOUNDS
Very good sound. I use it with an electric bass and the sound is ok although its totally different from a big bass amp.
I connected an MP3 player once and the sound was awful. So this amp doesn't sound flat at all. I use it for bass guitar and that's it. It suits my needs perfectly.
OVERALL OPINION
This product has no competitor if you want to play without an electric generator (at least none that I know of). Thanks to its generous battery this product is perfect for that. I don't regret this purchase and I recommend it.
If you are going to play someplace where you have access to AC outlets you'd better buy something else (and thus you would avoid carrying a heavy battery with you).
