Great sound.

I loved this thing! Great sound! Too bad I stepped on it barefoot and the jack input (with phone jack inside) broke. I tried to open for repair but too much little plastics.

Later I acquired a Vox Classic Rock and tho I find the tone very good the HB Rockplug doesn't fall behind. The HB doesn't "color" the sound as the other (Vox sounds like a "through cabinet" with bass). It's a different type of OD of the Vox and the gain to the max sounds like distortion (ex. Nirvana).

You can use it with bass but it's not that good (the Vox sounds good on bass and has lot's of volume and boost - clean and OD).

But the biggest plus is the price and the rechargeable battery! It lasts for ages! I could play for days and days without recharging and then no need to buy batteries - and yes buying batteries is a major issue. Some folkes might say "and what if battery dies?" well my phone is 3years and every 2 days I charge it and it still goes on. Imagine 2 batteries per week minimum after 1 year the amount of money you'll spend! You can buy three or more HB Rockplug!

I'll be buying another next order for sure.

Awesome

This little amp is really great. Battery lasts very long and sound is satisfying. Loved it!

Very surprised.

When I first plugged this device in I was expecting a thin crunchy tone without much variation, I was wrong. The tone is surprisingly good, it's very rich from a clean sound to a bluesy crunch, through to hard rock. The unit feels sturdy and compact and comes with an internal rechargeable battery. My one criticism is that on a clean sound it loses a little volume, but this is a minor criticism. For this money, you would be hard pushed to find anything of this quality, and indeed exceeds products on the market with a much higher price tag. If you want an inexpensive, good quality practice tool, buy this!

All in all, very surprised

I was expecting a buzzing like bee sound come out of my headphones when I plugged in, but it was not the case.

Lately I bought a 12-watt tube amp, which wakes the family up at night so I needed a small thing to try stuff in the middle of the night. I haven't tried more expensive ones(eg the Vox things) but this one is awesome! It sounds pretty good, both dirty and clean. The tone control can give you a lot of different sounds and tonal agility (just like it should).

The overall feeling is a bit cheap, but at 15 euros it feels great! A big plus is the rechargeable battery and indicator. You don't have to carry replacement batteries around, just your phone charger.

Great little plugin

Bought this little unit to bring with me when I travel. Saves bringing a bulky amp with me for practicing. Did not expect much but was surprised how good the sound was when it arrived. I play through it into a good quality set of headphones and so that will make a huge difference to the sound output. Works great with my backing tracks from my mp3 player on the line in with no distortion on the track

Pros Well constructed

Great crunch sound ( without being over the top )

Good tight fit in my guitar jack socket

Great that it re-chargable

Cons Would prefer the controls on the front instead of the

bottom, but that is just a personal preference

For the price this is an excellent unit. I even tried plugging it in through a small PA system and it sounded great. i do not think anyone would be disappointed with this product for the price

A bargain

Perfect for practicing on guitar without annoying everyone around you! Has a dial for volume, gain and tone to get a variety of differing sounds. You can also connect an external audio player included 3.5mm cable to listen to backing-track while playing along.

It sounds good enough to practice with, so do not expect it to sound like a high-end tube amp. It does not have any FX like some of the more expensive mini headphone amplifiers.

But it is very good for the price.

Pros:

- Well constructed.

- Comes with a mini USB cable for charging and a short 3.5mm to 3.5mm cable.

- Recharges via USB

Cons:

- No FX such as chorus or reverb.

very good for the price you pay

Very useful for silent practicing. It didn't work good for bass guitar (low output) but excellent for e.guitars. I specially liked that you can just charge it... It almost costs like a rechargable battery you would need for more than double priced amplug :) guitar players, go ahead and buy one :)
