HB-10G : Light, solid, good sound

The amp itself is small and easily transportable. It feels solid despite being light and also includes a removable grip on top of the amplifier to make transportation easier.

Feature-wise, it has two modes: clean and overdrive, basic onboard knobs for Bass, Middle and Treble as well as Volume and a Gain knobs. Unlike HB-20G the volume control on this one doubles as the volume control for the overdrive too.

The clean channel is really nice and suitable for "bluesy" sound. By setting the gain and playing around with the various settings you can produce a wide range of distorted sounds within the limits the solid-state nature of the amplifier permits. If you intend to use it with a multi-effect try the clean channel first and let the effect do your distortion for you.

Beginners: make no mistake, this amp is LOUD. 10 Watts is more than enough for a practice amp and possibly way more than necessary when living in an apartment. The headphone-out port on this model is ideal for practicing at night and makes a really good combination with wireless headphones.
