JOYO Mini Guitar Amp 5W Portable - Rechargeable Bluetooth Combo Amplifier with Built-in Effects (Clean, Overdrive, Distortion, Reverb) Compact Practice Amp for Electric Guitar Plug in, Black (JA-05G)

This product is brilliant. Great quality sound. Ultra portable. My two teen guitarists love it. Well worth it!! 5 stars!!

Excellent Works well

Plugs straight into my electro-acoustic and cigar box guitars. Sounds good on the clean setting with the built-in reverb switched on. Also great for my cigar box guitar with the overdrive or distortion switched on. I bought this after Amazon offered it in a 'snatch deal', but would have paid the full price for it considering that a Behringer distortion or overdrive pedal (without amplification) would have cost the same. This amp is primarily designed for practice and is chargeable with the included USB lead. I certainly would not gig or play live with it. It just does not have the volume. Bluetooth is included for pairing with phones, tablets etc so jamming along with backing tracks is possible. I would have given this amp 5 stars but sadly there does not seem to be any way to switch the Bluetooth off. The amp goes into pairing mode when switched on which means that if you don't have it paired to your phone then anyone's Bluetooth device can pair with it. Having said that, it's well worth the money and I'm happy with my purchase.

Great for practicing without humping big amp boxes around!! Fantastic sound!!👍

It's a great little device, I use it to amplify my hollow bodied guitar, just to get the sound effects that I am looking for, but when playing in public if there's too much background noise then it's not quite enough. It does produce very good tone qualities but for my purposes maybe 8 or 10 amps output would have been better, but a very good and useful bit of kit none the less . It's very easy to use, great for practice and good value. The physical size means that it is not noticed by the audience, it gives the appearance that you are playing acoustic but producing an electric sound, nor does it get in the way when playing but it's not going to create the heavy metal sound and as I've said it's a bit under powered for a lot of background noise.

Does the job

It's a good little practice amp at low volume. It's only got a tiny speaker, so don't expect a lot of volume, the sound breaks up at high volume, of course, but you'd expect that. But it's very portable, and you can play wherever without worrying about lugging your gear around. You would use it in the same situations as a headphone amp, but without the headphones. It's not magically wonderful sounding, but it's really convenient and has a nice little clean sound to just sit around and play a bit. I wanted something with a speaker, I already have a headphone amp, and this is the most portable amp out there with a speaker.

Plugging this into my lap steel makes practice easy. No leads, no amp to plug in and carry. The little joyo lives in the guitar case. I can play with friends who are acoustic guitarists and not overwhelm their sound. It's not perfect; the clean channel is very quiet, the distortion louder and the overdrive very loud. The effects are basic and the promised reverb I cannot hear at all. But battery life is long and the sound is acceptable. If they upgrade it I would certainly buy another. At this price I won't complain. All in all I'm delighted with it!
