Marshall MG15FX Guitar Combo Amplifier - 8 Inch, 15 Watts Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this for my son to practice on. It sounds pretty good and sounds like a Marshall but it's fairly noisy - even on the clean setting. Also, I think it's outclassed by the new amps from Line-6 and Fender - particularly the Mustang I. I'll be exchanging his for the Mustang I which sound cleaner, can sound like a small tube amp, a Marshall and others for the same price. I think the Fender is a better value and more versatile.

Line 6 Micro Spider 6-Watt Battery-Powered Guitar Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Not a bad little amp - for what it is. VERY handy for portable practice, just got back from 2 weeks at the beach and it served wonderfully with my BluesHawk. Also turning out to be really convenient for quiet practice at home via headphones. Batteries (6Cs) and the included AC adapter both work fine. Built in tuner is convenient, it will get you real close at least.
I REALLY wish Line 6 would put (much) less emphasis on providing "Insane Rock Star Settings" - I guess its not hard to figure out their target audience, but come on - with only 5 amp models who really needs Crunch, Metal AND Insane?!? What about Blues (or even Twang)?...a model more for British/Classic Rock? Anyway, besides Clean, and a bit of Crunch, I do appreciate the inclusion of Acoustic mode for my Martin, which was a major reason I picked this amp over other similiar battery-capable ones (the other being that it's Line 6 as is my SV112 & Pocket Pod so functionality is familiar). Hmmm...but if it is for "portable practice", with an acoustic would one bother with an amp at all? Still, the choice is there for 'normal' practice situations.
Unfortunately, the sound does suffer through headphones, and background hum/noise are especially more evident. The same headphones sound much nicer and cleaner on my PPod. However I do not get the 'ground loop noise' with my Gibsons as I typically do through my SV - which is very good.
I did not try the CD/MP3 input yet - though the idea of using this as a speaker for an IPod is cool - definitely will make use of that.
I had a Roland Micro Cube for a very shot time, and that also functioned well. The amp model choices there were much more useful (for me), and I do not recall the headphones bringing down the sound quality.

Kona 10-Watt Guitar Amplifier with Tuner Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I bought this as a practice amp to mess around with my guitar (Fender Stratocaster). It works great! It doesn't have a ton of features, but it has a clean and distorted channel (basically, you push the overdrive button to switch). It sounds good enough, even with effects pedals hooked up. I use it to mess around in the living room without totally aggravating my wife by using my full-size amp. Don't expect a super-expensive sounding amp with tons of features, but for a cheap way to avoid dragging out your big equipment, it is perfect.

Behringer GTX60 Guitar Amplifier 60-Watt Guitar Amplifier with 2 Independent Channels, Fx, Tuner, Tube Modeling And Original Bugera 12 Speaker Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Call me nuts but I love this amp. Good clean channel and great dirty. Seperate EQ's for both channels. The countour control on the dirty channel lets you dial in different amp sound from vintage to modern. I get a f'ing superb AC/DC sound on this amp and it packs a punch volume-wise. No probs this getting over drums bass and another guitar. The efects are good - 4 of each Chorus, Flange, Delay and Reverb. You cant adjust any of these effects, they come as they are. The only thing you can adjust is the level of the effect you're using. So if timing a delay is very important to you, then you're best using a pedal which you can regulate. I do love the delay in this amp though. There's a tube "switch" that supposedly kicks in the real sound of tubes. Well not quite. Using this feature sounds great at low volumes but when you're cranking it I find it muddies the sound a bit. It sounds fine when this is not activated.
It's light as well and that's a major plus as I've dragged around Fender Deville and that weighs a ton. I barely see reviews for this but I see plenty for the transtube The Peavy Bandit (which I also own). This is every bit as good as that, and the Bandit is a great little amp. It could do with a mid control on the clean channel and this is the main gripe I have with this amp. The countour does the job on the gain channel. Still, the clean sound is nice. Just dont expect a Vox or Fender nice. Remember you're paying 5 times plus less.
I'm a basic player in terms of what I want. Ive been playing for 30 years plus and I need a basic layout. No 5,000 knobs on an amp and a college degree needed to operate it for this guy. I have heard stories about Behringer quality but I've had this for 6 months and use it regularly and it's still holding up as good as day one. For the price its awesome. If you want a great little amp at a bargain price, especailly if youre a beginner, then seriously try this out!
