HB-15GXD JamBox : Probably the best practice amp for the money.

This little guy really packs a punch and is delightfully versatile. For what it is, it does its job perfectly and provides a lot of decent tones for a beginner player when they are just starting to discover their style. You can easily go from practicing some clean or crunchy stuff to outright extreme metal (which I personally prefer) and play around with built in effects without a need for dedicated pedals.

I also own the immensely hyped Blackstar Fly 3 and I have to be honest that while the latter may be one of the best near pocket sized amps, this HB outperforms the Fly in every other aspect. Which actually is surprising to me, because a friend of mine had a much older predecessor of this Harley Benton amp and boy did it sound terribly screechy with no low end. With this new version, you get full bodied pleasant tones (not speaking in recording terms, although I can't see a reason why one couldn't record a respectable demo with this amp). It goes to show that over the years, Harley Benton has come a long way in terms of sound and quality and the reviews here don't lie. Going in a little bit sceptic into this purchase, I'm now more than pleased.

Only con I can think of is that while there are a plethora of built-in beats to play to, it doesn't feature a simple click metronome which would be far more useful. Also the selection of the backing track and its tempo could be more intuitive. Then again, it does have an AUX input as well so you can easily practice to whatever audio file you want.

All in all, a highly recommended purchase for this price.
