Playing guitar for 7 yrs

Almost 1 year playing guitar with my church youth band.

Mostly Christian praise and worship music. Some classic rock and metal.

Sound is good. There's a little vibration at high volume. Distortion knob goes from "clean" to "dirty". I can't compare to other mini-amps because I haven't bought them yet. I have been using this amp nearly every day for practicing and recording into my macbook with garageband. Headphone output is clean - no noise. The volume is quite loud when turned up all the way. I rarely turn it all the way up for fear of annoying neighbors - it's that loud. I think it could work great for street performing. Especially with the belt clip.

Doesn't include AC adapter (that's ok, not sure I want another one) - will have to use my own for studio / home use. Price is right - $30 well spent - I might buy another one! Includes a cute 9v battery with danelectro brand label - could be interesting from a collector perspective. Belt clip does work - I tried it. Some of the other mini-amps have a "built-in tuner" which I think is a sine-wave generator at E in order to tune to. This amp doesn't have that feature. The "handle strap" at the top of the amp is just for looks. I can't see it really being useful. Aesthetically, it's nice. The "battery indicator LED" doesn't indicate dead battery that well. I'd prefer if it had some kind of transistor cutoff to light instead. At low battery, the unit will cut in / cut out, giving bad sound, and the LED will pulse. I'd prefer if the unit stayed completely off, if the battery were too low. Comes in a great decorative box which might be interesting for collectors.

Only a couple knobs to turn. Comes with good manual, but didn't really need to read it. Plugged it into my macbook and did recording with Garageband - worked fine, sounded great.

It's plastic, mass-market item. It's not "hand crafted" although it does have a clean, polished look. It has a GREAT look - very nicely styled. All the girls and guys who have seen it so far have LOVED it - girls come into the livingroom and say "wow, that is soooo cute!!"

Definitely worth the price. There's some other miniamps that are the same price for less features.

This product has great 'sex appeal'. In fact the girls think it's the cutest little amp ever. It has great vintage styling. Also, the name HONEYTONE is genius. Sound has a good rock to it also. I am sure that if I used it for street performing, it would get a lot of "that's so cool" looks. Everyone so far who has seen it, has said "I want one too!"

Really great sounds through a headphone. I've played an older Fender Frontman 15B and a Vox Pathfinder 10 through headphones and I actually prefer the Danelectro. Some of that is just personal taste, I'm sure...but I also think it gets about as close as you can get to overdriven blackface-cum-Marshall as you can get with a $20 plastic amp.Even without headphones this is a good amp. But this amp sounds 3-5x better (at least) through headphones.

Tone control actually works all the way around the clock. Gain adds up quickly but can make for some nice tones, espeically via headphone.

Only three knobs but it can take a bit of tweaking. That's a good thing as it means you get more range than you'd expect from a twenty dollar amp.

It's a great kid amp but make sure you get the replacement plan. Even for yourself maybe you should. It's not the sturdiest piece of equipment you've ever seen.

This would be a good value at a higher price--glad it's not a higher price though.

Well it does look pretty cool. Plus there aren't too many amps that you can wear on your belt to a party.

Classic rock metal country and blues

This little amp has a great rich sound. The chart showing suggested settings shows the versatility and range very well. I play an Epiphone Dot Studio and the amp will "jangle" or give a great distortion range. Playing an acoustic through this amp is horrible if you're looking for natural acoustic sound, but some of the unique sounds that are produced could easily be worked into a wide range of "alt" music. I really hate to admit this, but if I had bought this before my $108.00 Bugera hybrid amp, I probably wouldn't have bought the Bugera. Not that the Bugera doesn't sound great, it does, but this little amp and the power supply would have satisfied me. I use the headphone feature for late night apartment playing, through a set of SkullCandy full ear covering headphones and it just sounds amazing.

A cool looking Danelectro 9 volt battery is included, but I went ahead and put an energizer in it. The controls feel smooth (remember this amp is under $20.00) If it had tremelo or reverb for another 5 bucks, that would be completely ok.

Three knobs, how hard can it be? The settings chart is very useful with a wide variety of options, and addeding the pickup and tone settings on your guitar everyone should be able to find their swett spot.

Mine seems to be solid, again this amp is under $20.00. In most reviews "on the road" means bars, outdoor venues, stadiums etc but for the Honeytone it means it will slip into your suitcase taking slightly more space than an alarm clock. If it lasts two years the amp plus shipping would have cost me a dollar a month, so that's what I'm shooting for, two years.

So cool ! It's retro looks and tiny size are both appealing and I leave it out on a shelf as a decoration when I'm not using it. Not only would I pay the price for this amp if I could make good music without it, I probably would have kept it if I couldn't make good music with it.

This thing is amazing. For such a little thing, it makes such a loud sound. I can't even handle the sound it makes when all the knobs are turned up. Mini amp-BIG SOUND.

There was nothing that came with this awesome mini amp except the battery needed to power the amp. When I got it I was all excited because I heard a lot of good things about this amp. I plugged it in and cranked it up and I was astounded by the sound. It was so clean and the distortion, wow, I thought it was great if you turn it all the way up.

Very easy to use this little thing. Just turn the knobs for your amount of volume, amount of tone, and amount of gain. But becareful. The higher you turn your gain, the louder the sound gets so if you live in a small area, put your volume low and your gain HIGH.

This thing is made out of tough, strong plastic with a shiny looking finish. It is stil really durable and lightweight too.

Best of price. Cheap price but extremely loud and powerful amp. If you want something lightweight, small, loud, and cheap, looking further will be a moron's idea. (Unless you want to compare prices so you can get it for even CHEAPER)

Never had to contact the company or ask for a refund or anything yet and probably never will.

The sex appeal of this amp is amazing. The lines, the curves, all very nice. It's so smooth and so amazingly beautiful. I swear when I walked by my other amp with this one, it all of a sudden turned on and made this whistling noise. Very, very, very sexy amp.

For the size, sounds pretty cool. its kind of "tinny" sounding, but for the $ and size very workable.

I bought the AC adapter also. It worked well while it worked. Overdrive added enough crunch for in home practice

3 knobs...pretty easy. Battery or AC adapter...pretty easy

It worked great until one day, 6 months after purchase, my son was playing and it literally started to smoke. No, he isn't that great of a guitarist. Micro-seconds later the sound stopped. The power light comes on but no audio comes out.

If you want to drop $30+ for an amp that may start smoking... be my guest.

Too bad this is a piece of junk. It looks so cool. I got the aqua. Even the battery (included) is nearly as cool as the amp.

Great for electric uke. Just the right frequency range.

The amp does what it says it does: to provide a relatively quiet amplification for practice.

The controls are easy.

I think the only downside is that it's made of plastic, which both decreases its weight and makes it prone to chipping.

I think it's definitely worth the money for what it's advertised to do.

Retro look adds to aesthetics of practice sessions.

The sound is great, the perfect sound for music from the 50s through the 70s, even th 80s! It sounds real good plugged into a Epiphone SG Speical (Gibson USA Humbuckers is what I'm saying). Tip: Plug in through one of those cables that they use to connect pedals! |; P|

This didnot come with anything exept the warranty and a booklet. The booklet was cool because it gave settings for diffrent tones! The gain is awesome, its got alot of crunch for such a small amp!

It is very easy to use. The manual is very clear, it even has drawings!

It is made pretty well. I deffintly would use it on the road.

It has good value, compared to the Marshall Mini Amp which is $65. (I paid $35)

The color rocks! If you buy the Aqua, its awesome. Also the vintage design is irresitable!

Great sound for a mini amp

no nonsence easy to use. good qualty

attach battery plug and play

second time i used it it fell less than two feet to the carpeted floor. It sustained no visible damage. but the amp no longer works.

another POS that will sit on the shelf because it is brand new and i cant stomach throwing it out. batt is still cood though.

The company has no contact info. in the pakaging that comes with the amp or on their website. I purshased the amp while on vacation and cant justify the $200 in fuel to return it where i bought it.

It's got a pretty awesome sound, the overdrive is awesome, the clean is clean, and the middle of the road has a bit of dirtiness to it, but not overpowering

It came with pretty much nothing except the amp, and a battery. No cables, no nothing.

Although it's made of plastic, it can withstand quite a few drops, but the plastic makes it lightweight so you can put it on your belt.

Same as the fender tone-master, and does exactly the same thing. But it's not a name brand, so i give it an 8.

Looks pretty awesome with it's vintage look.
