This is a great amp that is small, lightweight, powerful, and sounds warm.
I am a professional musician and currently am playing for the Gondola attraction at the Venetian Hotel in Las Vegas. We use battery powered amps and I was looking for a small, portable, good sounding amp. This one fits the bill perfectly!
Features: Small, compact, portable, weighs less than 8 lbs. Two channels, one mic channel and one guitar channel. This is perfect if you sing and accompany yourself at the same time. Can also be used to plug in 2 mics or 2 instruments. The mic channel has XLR/1/4 inch input and controls for volume, bass, treble, and reverb. The guitar channel has a 1/4 inch input and controls for volume, bass, treble, chorus, and reverb. Also, on the top panel, there's blue tooth button for connecting your phone/tablet and a separate dedicated volume control. There's also a 3mm headphone plug. So in the way, this is a 3 channel amp! Lastly, there's a power indicator for the battery status (full, half, low).
The back has plugs for headphone (1/4 inch), DI (1/4 inch, for connecting to PA or an external speaker), AUX IN (3mm, for a wired connection of an mp3 player or a phone) and a USB-C plug for charging the amp (using the charger that comes with the amp or a power bank) with an LED indicator.
Sound: The amp sounds warm, deep, big, and clean! There's tons of headroom and it doesn't distort. The sound is reminiscent of Roland JC. It has a 6.5 inch woofer and a 1.5 inch twitter speakers. Both reverb and chorus effects sound very nice and natural.
Loudness: It is really a 30 watt amp! This is definitely enough for busking and any live situation where there's no external power available. It will work great for solo gigs, as well as duo and trio/quartet.
Rechargeable battery: It takes 3-5 hours to fully charge the internal battery. I used the amp at my work and it lasted through my entire 4.5 hour shift. So it is definitely going to be enough to last for an average 2-5 hour gig.
Portability: Small and compact, weighing 7.7 lbs.
Versatility: while designed for an acoustic (acoustic/electric) guitar, this amp sounds great with electric guitars (single coil, humbuckers, solid body, semi-hollow and hollow body guitars) as well. As mentioned above, it is a very clean sounding amp. However, it does take external pedals (like distortion, wah, etc.) well.
Overall, this is an excellent sounding amp with tons of features, in a lightweight, compact package, portable, rechargeable and ready to be used for any outdoor gig, busking, and much more. It is very reasonably priced.
I highly recommend it!
