    Squier Sidekick

    Squier SidekickPublished on 07/20/02 at 15:00
    Guitar works for $70 Canadian new. I bought because it was small and cheap.

    Its quiet loud and very small, its very very simple to use, push of a button to a so so distortion. The clean is impressive. For the money i was happy.

    Lacks a few functions like Gain, Treble and Boost. The distortion isnt great.

    Pretty good for the money, the guards still work. it doesnt pick up radio signals so what can i say?

    If your in an apartment and you dont really care about distortion (although its ok) this amp will keep the neighbours happy.

    - Amplifier Transistor
    - Power 10W
    - Headphone
    - knob Volume / Treble / Bass
    - The Clean button -> Disto

    -> Normal features for a small amp like this base (it's not a line 6, no modeling)

    UTILIZATION

    You turn the knobs and worse off you go ...

    SOUNDS

    - Used with Ibanez SA 160 QM.
    - The clean sound is decent. My guitar is not too bad, and I can make a sound about right ... to play in my room.
    - The distortion is despicable! Its disgusting. Nothing to do on that, it's shower!
    - I can not play what I want to play, that is of Metallica and other Slayereuries because of this distortion. Walks are you about.

    OVERALL OPINION

    OVERALL OPINION

    - I have been using ... Oula, 3 years! Time flies!
    - Super convenient as very light and small.
    - I can carry it on the bus to go again, no problem there.
    - Fun for beginners, but there are certainly better.
    It depends on the budget you have! I had to buy € 60 new.
    I'm no longer interested in this type of amp, so check out other opinions on other amps in this kind before making a decision. This is what I would do with experience.
    Honestly, a beginner may well be satisfied. A comparison with other offers on the market.
