JOYO Mini Amp 5W Portable Electric Practice Amp Bluetooth Rechargeable Guitar Amplifier Built-in 4 Effects Clean Distortion Overdrive Reverb, Black (JA-05G)

I just got it an hour ago, and right out of the box I plugged it into my Ibanez 6 string. and it works beautifully. The sound is wonderful (For what it is) If you compare this to a more expensive amp you are cheating yourself out of a good product, because you will think it is not as good.For $30 this is a great travel/practice amp. You can get great clean/overdrive/crunchy tone out of it. It connects with my phone and I was able to play some backing tracks on Spotify from my phone to jam to.I personally love it! Will it replace my main amp? NO! But it is not supposed to, this can be bought for pennies and works straight out of the box with no setup. This is great for your 8 year old's first practice amp. Even at full volume, while the sound was clear and nice to me, my wife was able to watch television in the next room, without problem.You can use it while charging, so during long jam/practice sessions, when the battery eventually dies. You can just plug it in and continue playing. I have not had it long enough to comment on the battery life, but every other aspect of it I love so far, and I give it that 5 star rating honestly.My two criticisms are small ones. First of all, it rolls around in the output port of the guitar, as you move or shift its weight, it does not stay still. I worry about breaking it on something as it sticks out from the guitar very far. But even still it is only $30 to replace it if it does. It would be nice to have a mounting bracket (Sell it separately to not increase the price of the unit) But a simple 3d printed bracket to clip it to the body of the guitar better would be something I would buy.The additional 6.5mm adapter that came with it makes no sense, and I am not sure what it is for, and it is not mentioned in the owners manual at all. I thought it would attach to give some more space between the unit and the guitar if you wanted that. But it does not.The unit also comes with Bluetooth functionality, very cool as I said you can plug it into the guitar, connect it to your phone, and then play music or a backing track from your phone to play guitar along to. Or if you just want a small portable speaker to play music from your phone with, it will do that. The owners manual, shows you just propping the amp up on the connection adapter, like a kick-stand. However Guitar people will not want to do that as it can damage that adapter and cause an unwanted buzz or other unwanted sounds. So you could 3d print a small plastic cover to clip onto it, so when you use it as a kick-stand the metal of the adapter is protected from scratches.Do those things and I would give it 10 stars. I would buy three or four more of them to keep in various places like my gig bag, or my friends house where I jam and practice a lot.This is a good product, that is worth the 5 stars and the $30 already. Those two additions would make it way better.

Great little practice amp, would be even better if it didn't have so much feedback but that really doesn't keep me from using and enjoying this little amp. And it's pretty loud for the size of it. I'll just say that it was good enough for me that I bought 2 of them and probably going to buy a third one. It's great for those who live in an apartment and don't want to piss off all your neighbors lol.

Does it sound like an expensive amp? Of course not.Will it burst your eardrums? Not in a million years.However, considering what I paid for it, it’s certainly worth the price. And, it’s plenty loud enough for practicing. Press the effect button until the yellow or red light is on, and the maximum volume increases considerable, compared to the slightly lower volume on the green light, which is the clean channel. Also, hold the effect button down for 3 seconds to add reverb. My favorite setting is the yellow light (slight gain) with reverb added. With the treble turned about halfway down, this set up sounds good and it’s loud enough for my ears.And, this little amp weighs next to nothing; so yes, I’d say it’s super convenient as well as worth the price.I haven’t used it enough to comment on battery life.

Cool little ultra portable practice amp! Has more battery than I need for an hour or two's practice. IMO it sounds pretty good for such a small amp.

Awesome little product! Don't even need an amp anymore 😂 Better sound than I expected and louder. Great for practicing or on the move instead of having to lug around an amp.

I don't know how anyone could give it more than one star. You can't hear it even with the volume all the way up. If you do reverb and god forbid the horrible distortion you get some volume. It's terrible feedback. Can't get your music out of it, but the squealing feedback has plenty of volume. I didn't get it for a Bluetooth speaker, so I didn't try that.
