Joyo MA-10B Portable Bass Amp Reviews

Very good for the money

What could be a perfect product is let down by small imperfections... 1, mount the on/off switch atop to avoid accidental turning on 2, incorporate a carry handle recess 3, fit rubber feet buttons 4, make battery compartment able for rechargeable AA batteries (which are commonly larger diameter) Address those issues and you really do have a perfect price point amp... Sound wise, I use it for all my musical needs, including keys and electronic drums...

basic little amp for bass practice

not a bad little amp for personal bass practice, but not more. If practicing with others, then a better, louder amp is needed. ok, but realise the limitations

A cheap toy - hence the price.

It’s a toy. Nothing more. It feels cheap, so light that you don’t trust it would work. For the price, the sound is…well…let’s keep this constructive and say that makes sound. Perfect for beginners. Needs to be powered. Sounds just as it looks - tiny. Sounds just like it feels : cheap af.

Unschlagbarer Preis

Zum Üben in relativ ruhigen Umgebungen gut geeignet. Bei Betrieb mit Batterien sind diese natürlich relativ schnell leer. Ich habe das mitgelieferte Netzteil gegen ein stärkeres, das ich noch hatte ausgetauscht, dadurch wurde das Rauschen, das mich zuvor gestört hatte, deutlich weniger. Ich nutze den kleinen Verstärker zum Üben im Wohnzimmer, natürlich erwarte ich keine genaue Abbildung des Bass-Klanges, als kleiner Helfer geht das Gerät voll in Ordnung.

Nice amp

This is a great little amp. It's very well made, light and offers a good sound. It's not the best-sounding amp, and if you want a good sound maybe look at a higher priced option. But it does a useable job for home practice. For the price, it can't be beat!

Very good portable amp

Sound is really good. It has 2 channels, but I use mostly clean one. I put e-drums in aux to play bass with drums and it sounds perfect. The amp is really lightweight, compact and easy to use. Also, I like it's vintage appearance and good quality details. The only one downside is that there's no carrying handle which might be a problem for portability.

Sounds like Bass!

For the price, and the size, it is full of bass.

For this price its surprisingly good

It was my first amp and I now that I have bought a bigger amp the sound quality that this thing produces is amazing especially for the size. I use it so much for outside playing (alone , no for a gig). I totally recommend for indoor practice and for some outside playing for fun (again its not for a gig because its only 10Watts).

Great Amp for my needs

I've been looking for an amp to use in my room and the Joyo MA-10B is perfect for it. I don't have problem with the sound (many times playing at night I use headphone) and the aux in is great to play my bass using the tracks from my laptop.

good for practicing

I use for practicing bass. Good sound quality, expected worse. Needed to upgrade with a grabber belt, however, but it has 2 plastic screws on the sides.

You get a lot for your money!

Great bass amp. Now, some people expect way too much for a small 40€ bass amp, probably a big part of the negative reviews. It's great for things like practicing in your room, but it obviously isn't going to be a good choice if you want to play alongside drums and an electric guitar for example.

Exactly what was expected

Needed a small portable amp to practice at home, or with the band in an acoustic setting(not much volume needed)... the JOYO offers just that! plus with its headphone/aux, you get a sweet tiny practice amp for yourself

Sounds exactly like you knew it would

For the price this is a good amp.

Does not sound great, feels a little flimsy, but hey, it’s so cheap. What did you expect.

Nevertheless, this amp does what it is made for. It is not superloud, but definitely loud enough to accompagny an acoustic or vocals.

Sooo incredibly lightweight you can take it anywhere.

What I’m saying is, you know what a €40 amp sounds like. Don’t expect a full on Ampeg sound out of this.

But enjoy!

Small and impressive!

Perfect for practicing without lugging a heavier practice amp around. This is so light and can run off batteries. Really useful and not expensive, would fully recommend!

Useful for practice

This little thing is great for practice in small spaces, but not necessarily great for gigging. It feels a bit "plasticcy", and is very lightweight which Is great. Works great with electric bass, not upright bass. Few ways to shape the sound, but this doesn't bother me.

Perfect!

I'm not a professional bassist and don't want to go into buying expensive gear yet. However, practicing without an amp is a little boring. This amp is small, compact, and allows me to experiment with the different sounds my bass has to offer without having to buy an expensive amp. It literally fits into my backpack and can run on batteries so I just plug and play. In short, it's perfect for someone who is still in the beginner/intermediate phase, wants to be able to experiment with different tones on his bass, and doesn't want something expensive.

Good amp for the price

Great little amp , aimed for begginers and quiet room practice

The more I use it, the more I like it

Used as a low volume practice amp when I am learning new material. Sound, well it's not going to compete with your main rig, or even a 1x10 rehearsal amp. It does, however, provide sufficient amplification for what I need. If it is turned up too much then lower notes distort, and it's quite unhappy about low B.

The other main plus is that even using rechargeable batteries it runs for a long time. The gap between recharging batteries is long enough that I can never remember the last time I charged them. It comes with a mains adapter if you prefer that. So it is completely and reliably portable.

I sold my acoustic bass and use this and an electric bass when jamming with friends on acoustic guitars - it's just perfect for that (and this set up takes up less room than an acoustic bass too - added bonus).

IMO a perfect package that does exactly what it is supposed to do. And look at the price.

super light practice amp

easy to carry, small and compact, sound is all you need and expect from a table micro practice amp...

The best cheap amp I've used - it's super light and can be used with batteries and a plug.
