Amplug 2 Bass : Awesome

4 years ago

Coming in as an entry level Bass Noob I didn't want to buy a speaker amp which would cost as much or more than the bass, especially not knowing if I would stick with it so this little gizmo is perfect. It works fine. There are some click tracks but I don't bother with them at all and use the Aux In which works great. Yeah it's a cheap plastic housing but so what? Eggs come packaged in delicate containers but that doesn't prevent me from buying them. It appears that the unit does not like rechargeable batteries. The unit stopped working while the rechargeable still showed a 50% charge. I replaced with standard non-rechargeable and it works fine. The unit reproduces bass sounds and Aux Input sounds very well. No complaints

EDIT: The device functions really well but is severely underpowered. Surely it needs to be small in size, but 2 AAA batteries just don't cut it for extended use. I was practicing about 2 hours a day and went through 6 batteries in 3 weeks. According to its specs, it should operate for 17 hours on new batteries. To make things worse all the batteries showed a 50% charge when the unit crapped out. I think with a nice rechargeable battery and a power supply it would be much better but then you have to deal with a bigger physical unit and more wires. I think it's great to throw in a gig bag and to use in a pinch but not for extended use. I returned it no problem and bought the Harley Benton HB-40B amp which is super!! Should have gone that route at the beginning but tried to save a few bucks. Well, live and learn. Again, it works great, just underpowered. IMHO
