Does the job, as expected

I use this small amp as a practice amp- I live in an apartment so I do not want to make too much noise. For a small and reasonably priced amp, it has quite a few features. I really like the compression feature as it allows you still to hear the deep tones despite its small size. It is small enough to pack in a small suitcase and does not take much storage space, which is a great advantage.

I have two minor issues with the item. One is that the knob for one of the eq controls came off soon after I bought it. It can still be put in place and does not change the function at all, but I have to be careful when adjusting it so that I do not pull it off. So far it is only one knob that has come off, but we will see if the other ones hold up. The second one is that the power adapter must be bought separately. I understand why this is done - to allow the adapter to be sold appropriately by region - but both items were not available at the same time, so I had to wait until they were before I could purchase and use them.

Good little amp.
PB2018 18.08.2018
I've been using this amp for a day, I wanted something I could practice with and move around. This was a great choice. It sounds good considering the size and wattage. You can get some nice tones on it, a few more features than you would find on anything else of this price range. It's battery operated so you don't have to plug in(unless you buy the power supply serperately).

The amp has a bit of weight to it, which is good as it doesn't move around too easily. However the housing is a little flimsy, the plastic I can see will be easily broken no doubt. Be careful not to drop off the coffee table.

Other than the housing I can't really complain about anything else. It sounds good, it's got an overdrive channel, a clean channel and has some nice sounds. If you're you're looking for something to practice with this is perfect, it's quite small and can be stored away very easily.

Great tiny bass amp
Anonymous 22.11.2016
I also own the Fly3 guitar amp. I think this one is better sound-wise than the electric amp, but bear in mind it's tiny.

Recommend high capacity rechargeables or dc adapter, it takes 6 AA batteries.

Reasonably good controls. It fits a purpose- a tiny amp with good (not great) sound which is excellent for the 59 euro price tag.

I can compare it to one other bass amp I've owned which had serious hiss and weird helicopter noises for the same money. I hope to upgrade to a higher end amp at some point but this is perfect for travel or low fuss living room practice.


Good value, good tones for a beginner/travelling musician.
Good build quality. It is tiny and v serviceable

Cute practice amp
ORRIOL 06.09.2018
This is a nice little amp for practicing at low volume. Don't expect a lot more (especially for this price!), but it does the job and it's built pretty well. The Eq section gives you some versatility and the volume is more than adequate. On the other hand, the compressor section is pretty bad but...I guess it's understandable. Overall, if you're looking for a practice amp, I think it's a good choice.
