BSK-60 : Very satisfied with this amp

My expectations where high from the other reviews I'd read. And indeed, this amp fulfills my needs: being flexible to play everywhere with good sound quality and features so I just need guitar, mic and amp.

I was looking for a busking/practicing amp on battery, a little bit more than these miniature amps and smaller than my Yamaha Stagepas 1K which I love!

I knew the BSK-60 is heavier than most busking amps but now I have played on it, I take it for granted.

Oh, tip number 1, very important: there is no (original) carrying-bag or case for this amp but I ordered the Millenium cajon bag which fits perfect and is strong enough for this 14+ Kg machine.

Most important for me: guitar channel. Sound: excellent. Features: enough but more about that later..

Mic channel: less tweakable than the guitar channel but with a good mic (Sennheiser 945) it is powerful enough.

Integrated effects: quality is good but you only need 25% of the range, otherwise the effects are too exaggerated.

Connections: very versatile, Bluetooth plus everything you need (in and out). The manual is not very clear about it but it has a real effects out/in loop named Link.

Is this useful? Depends, because here come the two limitations to my personal use: the guitar and mic channel are handled as one regarding: 'mute', 'looper' and 'link'. This means I cannot mute my guitar seperately e.g. when tuning and talking at the same time. And I can not take a guitar loop-sample while playing and singing at the samen time. The manual is not clear about this. The same applies to the Link effects out/in: both channels at the same time.

Conclusion: the looper is fine if you use it e.g. for building a rythm pattern. The memory of 30 seconds is in many cases too short for looping a verse/chorus pattern.

And thus the 9V power output of the BSK-60 is a real solution I use to power an external looper.

Pedal. The pedal is a nice add-on but I do not get the design thinking of Joyo. What do you use it for mostly? Mute, FX in/out, Tap tempo, Looping, boost etc. It features Mute and Looping but would like to trade the Anti-feedback swith for tap tempo or boost, or switch which channel to sample with the looper. Who knows, in the future?

Conclusion: a lot of worthwhile pro's for the price.

And the con's: I can not think of other products (including expensive alternatives) that would have all the pro's and solutions for the con's.

By the way: it looks great too and feels sturdy enough.
