Super fun

I chose it as my first room amp together with the HB SC-500 and I am not disappointed. The overdrive delivers gutty and sharp tones that are real fun!

The only missing star comes from the fact that the amp picks up my mobile whenever it is using the 3G network. Some better shielding should be present.

The MP3 input has no volume level, loudness comes from the device you plug and in general there is no problem making it very loud as well.

EXCELLENT

This little devil will woke up your neighbors! It is quite loud for such a small box. It is very well crafted, knobs are precise and sound is good!

I recommend it for all beginners and amateur music lovers!

HB 10 G Combo Amp

I use this HB 10 G Combo Amp mainly in my house and I am very pleased about it. Mostly I like the options available on it, the fact that it has a port for headphones but also a port for connecting an iPod or phone or an MP3 player.

The sound that comes from it is quite clean, it has some buzz but only at the highest gain level which not too many, I think, will use.

The HB 10 G Combo Amp is built really good and can take some ruff handling, in case it is somehow necessary. I traveled with it a lot and never had any issues even if unfortunately was bumped to surfaces sometimes.

The weight it's just 4.2 kg or 9.2 pounds and even though it seems to have a bit of weight, the weight is distributed in such a way that it is really easy to be handled by hand from one place to another.

Pros: The sound is so diverse using all the modes on the HB 10 G Combo Amp

The weight, being distributed nicely

The great variety of options available, to turn almost any sound you want on it (for a beginner)

The sturdiness being such a small, yet full of options Amp.

The Cons: Not enough options to change the sound and tone for a Pro guitar player.

Buzzing when the Amp Gain dial is turned at it's maximum level.

Overall I really like this Amp and I recommend it to any guitar beginner that I am sure will use this Amp, until will learn to play the guitar almost a t a Pro level.

I didn't try too much the MP3 function too much, but until now I have been really amazed of the possibility to use this function on such a cheap Amp and it all works great.

Great clean and with drive pedals.

Quality is ok, drive sound is useable, but not great, pots are still, however, the clen sound is, well, actually superb, I mean really good,, but dont fear metal heads, it takes pedals really well, but this and TC darkmatter, if you want budget practice for rock or this with an EHX metal muff for budget bedroom metalers , you cant go wrong. I have 3 tube amps, and have owned many practice amps (inc Park, Rocktekk, Orange, Laney) this has the best clean out of all of my former practice amps, takes pedals better, on board drive is the only poor aspect but at this price get a good drive pedal and your set practice wise and will still spend less than abig name and with a good drive will sound better. Although amp drive is ok it coukd be better , but I have rated sound 5star to reflect the excellent clean and pedal handling. bargain

Perfect for it's cost

Starting with a drawback - overdrive feature is as good as non existent, sound quality on it is bad and better not used at all.

Not if someone read till the here - probobly best AMP for such price. Clean sound is really good and whit headphones makes a good practice tool.

You will not regret it, and in case you need overdrive go for extra pedal :)

He 10g

Received as part of a guitar package for my daughter. Firstly, looks great. Handle is solid, tolex applied well. Sounds great, I didn't expect such a cheap amp to sound good, but for bedroom Rock stars this is a great wee amp. Eq responds well and the overdrive is nice too. Recommended.

Brilliant

Brilliant little Amp. For it's size and price you can't go wrong. Everything works. One of the great features about it is that you can plug an MP3 player in and play along. Headfone socket stops the parents moaning about the noise.

Unbelievable quality for the price!

Great little amp, at this price point you can't really fault it. I bought one for my 6 year old as is learning electric guitar. It's louder than expected and the clean channel is good. The overdrive distortion is scratchy at best but again look at the price!!!!

Recommended!
