Great practice amp/bluetooth speaker

I bought this to practice while i'm away from my amp, and I must say, it does the trick! Also, the bluetooth function is very useful. You can jam along to you fav tunes, or simply listen to music. Plus, you can control the fx with an app!

Overall, for the price, it's one of the best micro amps out there

Great features, no tone!

I bought this for the living room, just something in the corner to noodle with for five minutes while the adverts are on the television!

Maybe I'm spoiled? I have been self-building valve amps for 20 years and have a great collection of unique amps from 5W to 60W with tones I love. I just can't find a satisfying tone from this amp. I have tried a variety of guitars, suspecting the EMG 81/85 pickups in my main guitar were too hot for the input. Gretsch filtertrons, Yamaha single coils, Duncan blackouts did not improve the situation.

If you get a clean tone it sounds like the amp is wrapped in a blanket, medium crunch sounds like a bad transistor radio. Cranked is OKish but there is no sensitivity.

On the plus side, the effects are easy to control on the phone app. It's nice to have a drum track to play along with. Features are very good.

Do all amps with 3 inch speakers sound this bad? Were my expectations too high? I'm not sure as this is the only amp in this category I have experience of. I would be happy if I could get one decent tone out of it, but as it stands I merely tolerate it for its utility. It doesn't bring a smile to my face when I hit the first chord, and that is the only thing I really want out of a piece of gear.
