the boss katana and nux are digital genetic sounding toys. this pocket amp is very organic and professional sounding... like it was meant for recording and it's tones shaped with the outboard effects found in the studio and the portability is just an added bonus.
Had it for a week and it was fantastic. Made me play more because it sounded great and was easy to just pick up and play. But then the fizz showed up. It’s more of a static sound, like a tv. Sadly, it’s a deal breaker and this is going back. If Fender resolves it, I’ll likely buy it again.
I have a question.I was able to make it work with my guitar, but ONLY when the device you sent me is connected to my computer using the USB cable. As soon as I connect the device from my computer the device is off. and there is not lights working.I was thinking I did not charge the device enough time, but I charged for 4 hours and then I tried again, but same thing is happening.I have trying to find online somebody with the same problem, but nobody has it.I read and followed the instructions, but I think I am doing this correctly.The device only works if it is connected to the computer, and that is not how this amp works... Help please
I know that some reviewers are saying that this device ( I just got one as well) functions far beyond the recommended time interval given between charges. If your micro amp only works when there is a direct connection to power and you have let it charge for a fair bit of time, I think that implies a battery issue. Can you try charging for more than 4 hours? Also note that some USB cables are only good for charge only, not data transfer, so that might account for the poor recharge rate as well, implying a poor quality cable. Good luck! (PS I am not an electrical engineer, obviously)
I believe you have to choose it as an external USB device in your PCs settings or enable it as a sound source like you would if it was a sound card or ASIO device

I have had one of these for a while, this is a good review all bases covered.
Thanks! This confirmed some doubts I had about the amp after checking it out. Keep making great vids.
Yes

I can understand that! Hope it does too and you get to enjoy it!
Great review, keep up the good work! 👍
My wireless headphone doesnt have a 3.5mm i put but it has a USB C for inout. Can I use the usb c port on this amp as an audio output?
I do not have USB-C headphones to try that out, not sure if that could work
Can I connect my phone to play along with music?
Yes you can, it's very easy.

I'm not sure how to troubleshoot that issue, would recommend reaching out to the seller and/or Fender support. Thanks for watching!

How would the tones go with an acoustic?
Extremely well! I use it with an acoustic
Hi, how long does it take for a full charge? Is it better to charge it by connecting it to the PC or to the smartphone charger? thank you
