Pignose HOG20 Recharging Portable Battery-Powered Guitar Combo Amplifier (20 Watts, 1x6.5 in.)

The front panel of this amp includes volume, tone, "squeal" overdrive/distortion controls, and a standard 1/4 in. input. The rear panel has a 1/4 in. headphone out jack which allows the user to plug in headphones while switching off the speaker. This jack can also be used as an output for directing low level signal to another amplifier or direct to a recording console. Two inputs (one on the front panel and one in back) are also included.

Feature:
Not much on features - but one thing - when you change the Squeal or Tone control - it really does make a difference - at least with the harmonica. I found just the right setting for that crunchy nasty bluesy sound and I leave the knobs there.

Quality:
Mine arrived in perfect condition and it really is a nice looking little thing. Definately appears to be a solidly built amp

Value:
If I had to I would easily have paid twice what I did for this thing. (If I had to, but since I bought it here - I didn't have to)

Desirability:
I like the looks of it. Even tho it is very small it does not have the appearance of a cheap amp.

Sound:
I use this for harmonica, and keeping in mind it is only a 6 1/2 inch speaker - 20 watts - this thing is awesome. I have been playing thru an 80 watt 12 inch speaker Peavey - but not anymore. I have tried many other amps 3 times the price and could not get the bluesy harp sound I wanted. This amp does it. If you want a very convienent (this thing runs on batteries) but great sounding harp amp for about $100.00. This is the only choice in my opinion. It is loud enough for small gigs believe it or not. As far as using this amp for guitar, well I plugged my bass into it and it sounded like what I expect a 6 1/2" speaker on a 20 watt amp to sound like with a bass - uuuggghhh forget it. But for harmonica - BUY IT !

Support:
Not had to deal with them, I did visit their web site before purchasing and they had a very helpfull discussion forum that seemed to address a lot of potential issues. (like recharging time/frequency - so on)

Overall:
I will NEVER replace it with anything else - if anything ever happened to it I would buy another in a second. If ever I got to playing harp to the point where I really needed something bigger I would surely keep this one as my main practice amp. If you play harp you should have one of these.
