zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Sound: the sound is very clean and pure, with the gain you should have no problem playing some evh hammer-ons Feature: I was extremely dissapointed that it didnt come with a power cord, ive had it for about a year and still havent found one that works. the battery cover rattles horribly but since its a 9v, it wont fall out so i just took the cover off Ease of Use: its really easy, just plug and play... but you do need a battery or the perfect cord Quality: -Its made like its worth $30, the guitar cord input unscrewed itself the third day i had it, now i have to tape the cord to make some tension or there is no connection, -The weight of just hte cord is enough to make it fall over so you might have to add some weight to the back, -The case is really sturdy though, ive dropped it so many times and it hasnt even got scratched. -The knobs are extremly well built i was surprized how strong they were after how easily the input broke off Value: its worth it if you want a portable mini-amp if you have 30 and want one, buy it, if you didnt already want a mini amp, you shouldn't buy it i dont want to dissapoint you by making you not buy it but i wouldnt unless you really are gonna use it. Manufacturer Support: zzsounds is the bomb and i never have talked to fender The Wow Factor: it is really handy and does look sexy, even though its small you can still blast out the hippie on the other side of the room with his acoustic guitar, turning all the chicks your way Overall: if it moves it breaks, and the only things that move are the knobs which wont break, and the metal stand on the back that doesnt really do much seeing that it is always standing straight up because its so light, if it got stolen i probably wouldnt buy it again, but i would miss it

Sound: If gain is 0 it's silent even if Volume on your guitar and the amp are at 10, The Gain is so fuzzy after about #4 that it Sounds Terrible. This is more for person who wants minimal distortion but is a guitarist on the go Feature: It's incredibly compact, lightweight, has a bar so it can lean without falling over, and has a Price you can't beat Quality: It Looks...okay at best, Whatever was around the guitar jack must of fallen off, and although it is built pretty good it's definitely not worthy of playing even a small gig. (It's designed for practice on the go, not playing gigs) Value: Hey the thing's cheap, if you buy it DON'T expect the volume or tone of a marshall, BUT it is worth it if you just want to be able to practice Whenever you get the chance Manufacturer Support: I'd say it the best because I didn't HAVE to deal with Fender at all It Plays just like it did the day I opened it The Wow Factor: This thing "Sex Appeal"??? A Chick might find it cute but SEXY sadly no. Overall: I'm set with this mini amp for when I want to play like at school or on a road Trip, and allows me to get lessons from my friends who play better than me

Sound: This tiny amp has amazing tone and at a very useable volume. The tone and gain controls are very active and can be set to achieve many combinations. Feature: There where no accessories included however none where really needed to make this amp very useful. I suppose that a 9V to 110V wall wart could have been included but I find that I can get about 8 hours playing time out of a single 9V battery. Quality: This amp demonstrates a high degree of quality especially at the low cost. I use this amp for practice only of coarse however I have miked it up through my PA system and it sounds great! It has plenty of volume and really is amazing, you sometimes forget it is so small and sounds like much more than one watt. Value: This amp is very well worth the asking price. Manufacturer Support: In six months of everyday use this little amp has not failed once. The Wow Factor: A practical and useful tool. Overall: I expect to have and use this amp forever. If lost or stolen I would buy another one the next day.

Sound: Well since this is really a collectors thing, sound shouldnt matter. It sound pretty good for what it is. Of course it's not 2 12"s. Feature: Pretty basic, but what more do you want for the money. Quality: It could be built a little better, But for $40. Maybe out of wood with real Tolex, but of course that would cost a little more. Value: This is really worth the $40. Manufacturer Support: Never talked to them

Sound: Use Headphones for best sound. The 2 inch speakers cant reproduce the lows as good as larger speaker amplifiers, although, I must admit it sounds better than I expected. Value: Should be lower cost. The Wow Factor: They need a black version of this, even though, I know, there never was a black version of the bigger amp made.

Sound: Well I opened it up and I was very dissapointed. Two little 2 inch speakers. I took one out and pushed on it, it doesnt bounce at all. No insulation at all, I added my own and it sounds much better. Also where the battery is held, the cover tends to raddle at a certian volume. Also with headphones it sounds good, depending on the headphones. You should add a specific place for bigger speakers, I took a 140 watt car amp and some speakers and its annoying using the headphone jack. But I love that it is portable. But come on a fake handle. I made modifacations like little round feet at ther bottom so it does not slide and added rubber on the kickstant and now it doesnt slip. Feature: The features are ok. I love the tone knob. Go figure. Quality: The quality is decent. Value: Well that product isnt worth 50$, I got it for 30$ on sale. 30 $ is more reasonable. The Wow Factor: The design is verry crappy, it looks good but you tend to find out the fakes and eal on this product. Overall: Personally its ok, but when I opened it I laughed it didnt know it was so small. I whish things with MINI would be compared to something.

1. We offer the most flexible payment plans in the biz

zZounds offers a number of different installment payment plans that make it affordable and convenient for you to get the gear you really want today, without racking up risky credit card debt.

Other stores offer house credit cards that require you to fill out an application and pass a credit check--and, if you qualify, leave you vulnerable to exorbitant interest charges once the initial promotional period ends. zZounds payment plans are easy to get and simple to use; plus we'll never charge you interest!

To submit a request for a lower price, click "Seen it for less?" on any product page. We answer most lowest price requests within two hours. For extra peace of mind, you also have 30 days after your purchase to find a lower price; if you do, we'll refund the difference.
