I have this little amp and the Boss Katana Mini and the Blackstar Fly 3. I like them all and there are features about each one that set them apart from the others. I really like the gain on this little amp. It just screams and roars for it's size. Plus like you said it's cheap! Last fall I went on a working vacation out of town and took the Fly 3 with me along with a Squire Bullet Strat to play where I was staying. Worked great and I think that's where these small battery powered amps shine.
Plugged this into a karaoke machine and that shit was fun. I’ve been using it a lot for busking lately, and using the money to buy a proper amp lol. At one point I added strap pegs onto it so I could wear it around as an amp purse. That was fun
It's all gain all the time, but that's why you would buy a BE anyway, right? I say order one through Sweetwater, give it a try and return it if you don't like it. I still have mine and have for months if that's any consolation!
You have to remember the price aswell , it’s £40 you can’t expect it to sound great and it’s still great to practice with and to carry around (No hate whatsoever, love your channel 👍)
