Best of the Best Practice Tool

Honestly, I wasn't expect this little thing to perform this good. Especially with good headphones. (I also own "Amplug 2 Cabinet" and unfortunately it is not good.)

First of all there is no clean tone :) the best clean tone that you can get is crunchy.

FX's are really gentle and works very well with both shredding and heavy riffs.

All 3 knobs are really sensitive. you can hear the difference between lvl 4 - 5.

Overall, I highly recommend this for anyone that enjoys good metal sound.

Amazing Product

The product is better than I expected, it's really useful to play outside or at night.

Have several Amp and effect options, perfect for study.

Decent sound for quite the cheap price

First off:

Don't go buying this thing expecting it to come close to the sound of your regular Amp. That's just not what the Amplugs are.

What it is however is a nice little practice tool to use without annyoing everyone around you.

Pros:

-the amount effects is enough (in my opinion at least)

-3 levels of distortion are nice to have

-it is cheap

-No noise complaints from neighbors

Cons:

-Build quality feels very cheap. (Understandable however as this thing is very cheap, so not really that big of an issue)

Personally I use it when mostly at night or when I don't wanna drag a cable behind me while playing.

For what it is I'd recommend it.

Ok for the price

Good product for the price, sound is correct even if some parasites appears at high gain (it's not an amp, so can't be too picky with it).

Very easy to handle and position even for fancy guitar designs like flying V.

Quality is a bit cheap (light plastic, very light...), should be carfefull while using as I doubt it will support guitar weight (if you forget it) or shocks.

Recommended for nomad use.

Best mini preamp!

If you look for a PERFECT preamp for studying or even recording metal, this small guy is actually sounding like a very good US voice amp, but boosted with a beefy overdrive pedal and it has got 3 channels, plus 3 spatial effects...It just make me to believe that is not true...Ofcourse that there is no noise gate, but it doesn't hum at all....Only Mooer live preamp and Kemper are also having this solid state technology and DV Mark, Bias...Fulltubes for me personally are not making the money, they sound good only with huge volume and by compromising your tone with the unwanted tube noise between the notes...If you shred for real, go for solid state, all of the big guys are doing the same...

Just plug and play

It's a cool toy with decent sound. I found embedded effects a bit useless because of lack of adjustment, for me it's too much. The rest is pretty good.
