Sound:
The Danelectro Bacon n' Eggs makes exactly the sound I wanted but didn't completely expect becuase the low price led me to believe it might be substandard. But it is NOT substandard in any manner whatsoever. It sounds AMAZING. Low-cut overdriven blues. It's as raw, raunchy and pure a driven low-cut/hi-pass blues sound as I had hoped. I was looking for a small, intimate practice amp through which I could play slide blues on a Telecaster without bothering others in the house. Bullseye. Surprisingly, this seemingly little speaker can make quite a loud sound.
Feature:
Simplicity in design. Quarter-inch input and output. Small speaker with a pedal-button. That's it. Adjust tone and volume on your guitar. Thumb screw on the bottom plate for battery replacement. Unit comes with a Danelectro 9v battery which lasted 6 hours. The case is heavy sturdy plastic with a metal bottom plate. A small but weighty and substantial feeling unit.
Ease of Use:
Plug in your guitar and adjust your tone and volume on the guitar. Could not be easier or more convenient.
Quality:
Heavy thick plastic case with metal late on bottom. Quality.
I originally bought this as a headphone practice amp but l have discovered that this unit is not exactly cut out for that use; the on-board speaker is not completely silent when I plug a pair of stereo headphones or or a mono guitar cable into the quarter-inch(and only)output. That said, the volume is so substantially reduced that whatever sound is still coming from the speaker is negligible but still there nonetheless.
I am blown away by the loud volume of this unit with my Telecaster's passive pickups.
Value:
It's hard to believe that such a cool quality and characteristic unit like this Danelectro Bacon n' Eggs is as inexpensive as it is. But it is. This is a rare thing. Great quality for a small price.
Manufacturer Support:
My experience with ZZounds was excellent. When I first received my Danelectro Bacon n' Eggs and discovered(as I explained previously)that the sound was not entirely defeated when a plug was inserted into the output jack, I returned it to ZZounds almost immediately. Their system of acquiring a return code and dispatching a UPS shipping label was immediate and efficient. I sent the unit back to ZZounds with the supplied packing slip and two days later had my new unit. It was easy as 1,2,3.
The Wow Factor:
The sound this unit makes is utterly characteristic. Raw, old bluesman in a parking lot, on the curb, in New Orleans, on the Delta...in a portable unit.
Overall:
This is one of my favorite ever purchases as a guitar accessory. I have played music for 30 years and have recorded with several bands professionally. This is a cool tool for practice or an intimate, small jam.

Sound:
Nice and LOUD for its size. Minimum of feedback; very sensitive to mistakes, so good for those trying to improve their technique.
Ease of Use:
Push the button, and you're set!
Quality:
The amp itself is great----seems really sturdy and well-built. My one complaint is that the battery it came with died the second day I had it.
Value:
Can't beat it for the price----a must have for a beginner or anyone on a budget.
The Wow Factor:
Great vintage design----attractive to match its attractive sound.

Sound:
Really powerful for such a little amp. It has a slightly crunchy sound. Very unique.
Feature:
Not exactly distortion. It is kind of like an extra overdrive for your amps overdrive.
Ease of Use:
very easy, just plug n play.
Quality:
Smaller than I thought it would be (smaller than my hand). Good sound. Has a cool finish (kind of a vintage orangish-red). And has good weight to it, feels solid not cheap.
Value:
Easily worth the money.
Overall:
Very fun to play with even if you don't need an amp. Very powerful, would be perfect for a dorm room, very solidly built, and very unique sound. Can't go wrong for $20.

Sound:
The amp is powerful, but the distortion is pretty much just a volume booster. I haven't figured out what to do to make it distortion, but i'll try.
Feature:
Buton is kind of hard to push.
