Busker : A cool little monster

2 years ago

A very nice little amp ideal for small venues:

- 2 channels combined jack / canon (the first one with phantom power for condenser mics)

- 1 channel for Bluetooth / aux (to play along a backing track)

- outstanding battery life and built in charger (no external transformer... just connect the power supply and the alto busker will recharge)

Pro:

practicality, great build quality, reasonably easy to use

Cons:

- only channel 1 is suitable for voice... connecting a mic to channel 2 will provide very low output.

- connecting an acoustic guitar makes it sound ok, but an electric guitar sounds very bland. TIP: Connect an overdrive in front of it as a treble booster (a Soul Food or an Electro Harmonics Hot Wax) and even if the OD is not engaged the sound improved dramatically.

- connecting the app is a bit tricky... to do the initial pairing it rewquires you to enable the location services. If pairing is not successful, control to have the location enabled.
