interesting

Plug it in your bass,plug headphone into it and have fun,without bothering enyone.Didnt find any noise from the vox, single coils will hiss a bit but they can do that anyway.

only slight fault I found was the case was not glued just on the top join,the case is in two halfs, tiny drop of glue and job done!

Surprisingly good sounds from this little box,well worth the money

Cool little gadget

I bought it for practicing bass at home so I wouldn't have to connect bass through amp(that bothers others later at night) or audio interface. I am very satisfied.

First of all it is very easy to use. Just plug it in your bass and play. Of course you need your headphones as well and make sure that they are not the cheapest ones, because that way you can truly experience the best sound from this tiny amp and it can be suprisingly good.

It will help you with your rhythm with the metronome option. The sound of the tic is not annoying and you can also adjust the tempo for the beat so you can grow in speed as well. The drum tracks are also a fun option to play with.

Nothing else to say, a helpfull little thingy.

Really good thing to have handy.

Make sure you don't use your cheap headset. You need some headset that can give you full bass rendition. On second thought I would put it differently. if you do use the bass amplug on a bass then use a good headset. I used it on a guitar also with a cheap mp3 headset (the ones you stick in your ears) and it was acceptable since the high notes go ok through them.

It is tempting to plug and play when it arrives, but mind blowing if you read the manual first. Spend those five minutes, you will discover straight away the options you have, and they are more than the few buttons you have.

For those that feel weak on keeping rhythm, the beats and the options to set how fast you get the beat is a great help.

It is a great aid to improve yourself by practicing without shaking the house through your amp and get the usual whining from your housemates ;-) .

Had it for a week now and used it every day. It is so convenient that even my girlfriend that is a guitar player is gonna go for a guitar version of it, just for the quick practice without plugging the amps.

Small and fine!

I use this for practice, especially if I am travelling somewhere for a few days. It's handy to be able to just take my base guitar and not need to take an amp. I use the input jack for an mp3 player. There are also 9 drum rhythms which can be adjusted for tempo and volume. It's plenty loud enough over the headphones and I don't trouble anyone with my playing!

The batteries seem to last ages and the volume controls seem solid and not scratchy. It's a bit fiddly to adjust the controls once it's plugged-in, but having the built-in plug keeps the whole thing small and seems robust enough. I suppose I could buy an extension cable if I really needed it.The plastic doesn't feel particularly high quality, but it's held up to being dropped/pulled sideways etc so it seems up to the job. A mini practice amp in a match box!

Very good

I bought this gadget for travelling and to be able to play with ordinary speakers. It does the job pretty well and with the drum machine option you can jam anywhere.

Pros

-Long battery life

-Drum machine with adjustable tempo

-Good quality sound

Cons

-Plastic construction looks very fragile, not to be thrown around.

- Only 3 types of drum loops

Overall i think it worth it's price

Amazing little piece of hardware

The thing is made out of cheap plastic. The sound is quite hissing. Some of control combinations are quite awkward (press the button, and holding it rotate at the same time dial right next to it). But for the price it's the best thing I've ever bought. If I have 15 minutes to play at 2 am, I just plug it in the bass, connect headphones, and I'm ready to jam with drum tracks included. No need to take out bigger amp, connect the guitar and so on.

Make sure you read the manual, though, or you will be one of those illiterate people who complain that the product description promises 9 drum tracks, and you've got only 3. There are 9, read the manual (though one is, admittedly, a metronome).

And yes, answering the question I had before I've tried the device: it is possible to change the tempo and volume of drum tracks.

Good value for your money

Amazing little piece of electronic wonder. When i plugged my headphones to this little amp. I didnt expect much but what a wonderful sounds i could get out of this thing. I just love this thing and i will not give this away EVER. I could get many different tones out of this machine and it sounds great. Of course it is not as good as real amp but the price is a bit different and it is as good as very expensive amps on headphones and with this amp you can go outside on your hammock and play some fine tunes and enjoy life. Love this amp. Only thing is if they will make model Mark 3 i will have to try that and maybe buy if it will even improve from this.
