The people saying this sounds bad aren't giving enough credit. Yes, it sounds small but the tone itself is solid. What do you expect from something that fits in the palm of your hand?
If players are expecting it to sound like a hand wired all-tube custom shop tweed amp of coarse they will be disappointed. Granted most are comparing it to similar 9 volt amps, but it seems like some players are comparing it's tone to a full size amp. Not exactly apples to apples in the latter example.
Laying it down makes it sound more like 60s era live recordings. Very Cool. Might be an interesting experiment to see how different amps sound laying down like that.
My favorite part is when you say, "My favorite way to use it is face down on a table, hanging off the edge." And then it totally actually sounded better. Haha
Theoretically, this is a "Buddy Holly" rig, lol. I'm getting really fascinated with mini amps, having ordered an Orange micro amp recently and, surprisingly, finding it to be actually useful. Micing it with a 57 closely at the center of the speaker eliminates much of the "toyish" sound because of proximity effect, and it comes across in the context of trax we do on my DAW like a "real" amp. I have this Twin tweed on the way, and I'm looking forward to experimenting with it also.
Top little amp, I put mine in a tin biscuit box which makes it really springy sounding..or get a balanced jack from the phones out into a bigger amp and it becomes a demon pre-amp!!
Try to press it against a wardrobe or any bigger boxed-shape wooden surface. It will transfer the sound. I usually press guitar headstock like that and get natural amplification.
On mine I have modified the headphone jack to be a line out for a cab. You just cut two traces, one trace cut is for one sound channel and the other trace is for a resistor or diode i forget (i used a switch(DPDT) so i could still switch back to factory to use it with headphones). it is surprisingly loud and full sounding plugged in to a 1X12 . it is about a 2 min job if you don't use a switch.
@@siddiquemohammed3296 like to a hi-fi or stereo set ?, with it being stock yes, you can treat it just like a headphone out on a phone, it has a 1/4 in headphone jack (so your going to need to get a 1/4 in to 3.8mm adaptor to connect it to anything modern ) its stereo (dual mono) stock , My mod disables the right channel to make it mono and bypasses a capacitor to make it so you can plug it into a cabinet at full power ( the capacitor was used to reduce the power going to the headphone jack , so you don't blow out your headphones) but i have a switch to revert it back to stock so you can still use headphones , or switch it to use it for a cabinet,
Yeah it's a bid of a novelty, but that's kind of the point I think. I wouldn't use it for a performance. I only use it to play around for my own amusement.
It is made in China. I have the Twin and the Mini Deluxe. They are handy for taking places. They are only 1 watt and look really cool. I use them as pre-amps and run a line from the headphone to my larger amps.
Would anyone happen to know if I can plug a mic into the input? It’s a older ShureRS25 /TS plug. I want to use it in a pinch, in case I need a mic for a meeting in a small room that holds 50 people. Thanks.
Someone of Ebay listed this same amp fo $21 plus shipping and said it has two 12 inch alnico speakers. Maybe a real Twin does. this has maybe a 4 inch. Still not bad for a micro cheap priced whatever.

I’m comparing it to the Blackstar Fly, which is about the same size/price and doesn’t sound like garbage.
@@timothy6966 yeah exactly, the reason it gets so much hate is for no extra money you can get an amp that is the same size and actually sounds good
I really don’t care about that I just want something to plug headphones into

wow, laying it down makes a world of difference!

Wow. That Little thing has some tone. I'm sold.

This in no way sounds bad when you consider how small those speakers are and how much the thing costs.
I agree. It hard to get tone out of anything smaller than a 10. So its good for what it is
Agree man
If you have headphones with the amp, it sounds so clean like you couldn't tell its being run through something that small.
Sounds really good!! 🔥🔥

Make a tutorial maybe bruv. Would appreciate
@@siddiquemohammed3296 i'll make it, if it's not totally crap i'll post it, i don't make videos so it's going to be at least a little crap.
By the way, can you use headphone jack to connect it to a stereo set?

@@yardbirds89 nice.
My question is: how does it sound so Fn amazing? 😄 seriously too, that thing sounds GREAT for what it is
It sounds amazing. I just bought one! ;)
Sounds great for what it is.
But does it djent?
Omg! I had no idea it was that small. Jeez. In the pics, it looks at least 12"x12"x6" deep.
Wow. That thing is small.
I just want one for playing out in the woods 😂
Cool playing bro 😎
Not bad for the size n price i got one for my son for 25 and it does thejob
i got mine for christmas 😁
Sold!
Looks cool but it's the worst sounding mini amp I've ever played. 🤯😳🎸👍😁
mine keeps abruptly stopping working, the red light is still on and you can lightly hear static but no guitar sound comes out :/
Could be a lot of things, but the usual suspect in my experience is the instrument cable.
@@redhouseguitar9851 thank you so much! Just praying it’s got nothing to do with the guitar itself!
What is that tweed fender thing on your desk? (not the amp you're showing, but the other thing)
That's a Fender lunch box, my friend!
it sounds very bad, like a toy but connected to a dynamic microphone to play harmonica is really killer and astonishing!
Yeah it's a bid of a novelty, but that's kind of the point I think.
I wouldn't use it for a performance. I only use it to play around for my own amusement.
This is the comment I was looking for.
Can you plug an aux into this and can you put peddles on it for reverb and is it made in the United States regardless it rules
Considering *pedals* don't use any special input, yeah you can use pedals. No, there isn't an aux input.
It is made in China. I have the Twin and the Mini Deluxe. They are handy for taking places. They are only 1 watt and look really cool. I use them as pre-amps and run a line from the headphone to my larger amps.
@@rexterrocks nifty! Like a distortion pedal? Did you modify the little amp? And if so: how?
@@Lamz.. No modifications at all. It boosts the signal exactly like a pre-amp,but the little amps have overdrive. Great fun
heyyy how often do you change the battery?
Would anyone happen to know if I can plug a mic into the input? It’s a older ShureRS25 /TS plug. I want to use it in a pinch, in case I need a mic for a meeting in a small room that holds 50 people. Thanks.
It's way to small for that. Plus, the louder you turn it up, the more distorted it will get. You'll sound like an angry robot.
Was this the '57 Model?
I believe so, yes.
Someone of Ebay listed this same amp fo $21 plus shipping and said it has two 12 inch alnico speakers. Maybe a real Twin does. this has maybe a 4 inch. Still not bad for a micro cheap priced whatever.
It has two, 2 inch speakers.
Thanks ,i knew they would be very small.sounds pretty good for tweeter size speakers.
twin two inch speakers.
@@redhouseguitar9851 or two 3" speakers? or is it the newest model that i just got or is it a mistake on the box?
Do you like Mayonnaise ?
strings used?
Hi, 10s nickel wound. Probably Ernie Ball.
@@redhouseguitar9851 .010-.046 ?
@@3fed506 Yes
Do you recommend it to a beginner?
Yes, it's convenient and easy to use.
@@redhouseguitar9851 Thanks
Je l'ai acheté sur Amazon il marche même pas :,(
Bad luck, mine still works for over 10 years now.
I’d rather plug my guitar into a wall outlet.
Good video want to by one
Can i put It with 12 V ?
No that kill the amp!
let it lie in open box
Sounds tweed to me, a tiny but tweed.
