Guitar Amp Portable 5W, Plug in Mini Electric Guitar Amplifier, Rechargeable Pocket Guiatr Amp Combo with Bluetooth, Built-in Multi Effects, Clean Overdrive Distortion Reverb

OK, you're not going to wow the crowds at the Marquee or Fillmore with this, but for practising and perhaps jamming with friends it is brilliant. Being able to just plug this in, no lead, no external amp, and just play is so convenient, even if you've only got a spare 10 minutes (where normally you wouldn't want to make the effort to setup). It goes loud enough to cause the wife to complain (well it would if I dared!), and the three effect types are well chosen, going from a clean sound with a little reverb, a modest overdrive/distortion where you can still hear bum notes (like it or not, when you practice you do need to hear when you're playing it wrong), to a satisfying heavy distortion where you can just sit back and enjoy playing. It's rechargeable (USB type) and seems to go for a reasonable time on a single charge. I thoroughly recommend this little device, but one word of warning. Although it suggests it will fit Fender Strats with their recessed input sockets, the jack plug wouldn't fully insert on mine. As I was enjoying using it on a Les Paul but wanted to use it on the Strat, I bought a flat input plate (made by Montreux Parts and purchased from Armstrong Music in the UK), which solved it. If your guitar has the input socket on the edge or top mounted (not recessed) you shouldn't have an issue. The unit has a bluetooth function as well, allowing you to pair it to a device (such as your phone) and play music through the Lekato, whether for a backing track or just to have some sounds. I haven't tried that as yet. Overall it seems nicely made, too (it is, of course, made in China, so that comment isn't always a given).

I bought this as a budget friendly alternative to a Tonewood amp. My main aim was to get a similar kind of reverb effect on acoustic and classical guitar, as the Tonewood and Yamaha transacoustic do, rather than to create substantial added volume or special effects etc. I anticipated correctly, that the clean sound would be limited in scope, due to the very small speaker size. The device is well made and very efficient in its functions. It is excellent on any number of guitars and basses. It charges, via USB, in very short time, and lasts really well in its charged state. It has clean, overdrive and distortion options as well as reverb (and Bluetooth facility). Tone and volume are well calibrated and the whole thing is very user-friendly. It plugs directly into the instrument and situates itself fairly unobtrusively once engaged, depending on where the jack socket is positioned on the guitar. How long it will last is yet to be found out, I’ve only had it for three weeks, but it looks rather promising in that dept. I have found to my delight that the very thing I bought it for, it does extremely well, that is, to add a deep and rich reverb to acoustic guitars. It actually can add some extra volume too - as long as modest settings are selected. With electric guitars, the clean sound is ok, if only very modest in volume - before it breaks up rather badly. The overdrive and distortion options on electrics on the other hand, are quite something. Here, the small speaker isn’t a disadvantage, and quite loud, smooth, creamy and sustained tones are available. I found that Strat style inputs were probably favourable, but it works well with any type. If any swaying movement of the unit is a problem, a small piece of tape will secure it in place perfectly. I am very impressed with this item and really glad I came across it. The price was right too, as they say. My only suggestion for any improvement would be if they could make one around twice the size (the speaker especially), with slightly more in the way of (clean sound) volume, then it would be completely unbeatable. I would thoroughly recommend this unit to anyone looking to try something new in the mini amp experience. It’s a lot of fun and if used in certain ways, could be thought of as groundbreaking.

Far better than expected. I love the reverb and different drive levels, sounds fantastic. The sound level is definitely sufficient for home jamming, and definitely too loud for a flat. Would recommend.

Good price.

Nice little gadget. Great for practice and a bargain price.

Cool piece of kit with a big sound for the size. Nice for travel and got one for my son to takes to uni as his regular amp takes up too much space.

Just what I needed. This portable, plug in amp is a great for practicing my bass guitar. It’s easy to use and the sound quality is excellent. The Bluetooth feature is useful, providing the ability to play along to a backing track. The effects and tone features give creative control.

Great little amp my sons happy 😆

Pour jouer chez soi tranquillement dans le salon, sur mon électrique (epiphone) ou mon electro acoustique (fender) cela reste sympa et agréable. Ça évite de faire trop de bruit avec un ampli mais correct pour se corriger lorsque l on répète. 😉

Deze is zo handig! Je vouwt het in en hup in de rugtas en geen gesjouw met standaard die weinig plek in neemt of zo onhandig is met vervoer!

Har inte kollat det är en julklapp

Mini mais grand pour les possibilités de jeux, le plus Bluetooth pratique pour jouer sur des play-back

Suono aggressivo col distorto e pulito perfetto per suonare la chitarra elettrica portatile ottimo acquisto
