  • Bluetooth model review. Small and sounds pretty good! Here are the measurements.
Style: Bluetooth Amp Color: Black
Note: this is a review for the BLUETOOTH model, as some people will want that. I’ve attached a photo of the Blackstar beside my Roland MicroCube, which is about 9x9” height and width and can also run on batteries. The Roland is a much better amp, of course, but the Blackstar is great for traveling or practicing in a living room. The question here is whether it will meet your minimum requirements. I play swing and gypsy swing, so I want a good clean line where I can increase thickness of the sound by turning up the gain while turning down the volume knob a bit. I need a passable acoustic guitar sound for gypsy jazz, but also adequate tone for jazz soloing. I have a little Washburn Rover travel guitar that has a very nice neck and is very playable, but the acoustic sound is very quiet. I’ve installed in it both a piezo pickup and a Kent Armstrong jazz pickup, and they work either separately or together. I spend a couple weeks a year st a resort in Mexico where I sit in the shade on the beach near the crashing waves and play while my band—on my iPad—backs me up. The guitar by itself is not loud enough. I usually use a little round Altec speaker with Bluetooth with the iPad, and that is loud enough for my practicing with a mandolin. But not with this guitar. I wanted a tiny amp that will play Bluetooth from my iPad while also amplifying my guitar. The Blackstar is tiny, though much bigger than the Altec speaker. It weighs just under two pounds, and it is small enough to fit easily in my suitcase. Note: for Bluetooth, read the instructions and note the different meanings for single blinks and double blinks when setting it up with a new device. It’s easy, but there’s an unexpected step. So read it. Also, to get sound, turn up all the knobs. You might think it’s broken, otherwise. It’s very quiet—no annoying hums by itself. The EQ knob works well but is more cold to warm than treble to bass—very nice. It sounds good at all levels, but it changes to different sounds. Remember to match the Gain and the Volume knobs to get the tone you want, too. For an acoustic sound with a piezo pickup, turn down the Gain a lot and turn up the Volume. For a clean jazz solo with more thickness, turn up the Gain about halfway, then set the Volume to your likes. Both sound quite good, and without extra noise or distortion. (I hate distortion—if you want that, use the distortion button. I didn’t test it.) Again, the tone is not as compelling as my Roland MicroCube, which is less compelling than my AER which costs a lot more, but it’s acceptable. Volume: I used a decibel amp on myniPad to measure the volume from about two feet away, just asmImdomwoth instruments. I find that I can get a good acoustic strumming sound at about 85 to 90 decibels from a travel guitar I can barely hear. Using the jazz pickup and more gain, I can get about 95 to 98 decibels. The amp will go louder, but it then starts distorting a little. So how loud is that? Most acoustic guitars see, to provide about 85 decibels max, so the acoustic strumming volume is a significant bit louder. However, I have a couple unusually good luthier-made gypsy jazz guitars that easily cruise at 92 decibels and max out at 95. That’s very loud indeed for an acoustic guitar, and matches my Collings mandolin. (I do have a shrill travel mandolin that will hit 99 decibels.) Thus, the Blackstar is somewhat louder when clean than any acoustic guitar I’ve ever played. It’s just fine for the beach, or for using your solid-body while jamming with acoustic guitars. It’s great for your hotel room or the porch. You won't want this for your main amp if your band mates have big amps. If your band is playing at 110 decibels or, worse, 120 or 130, this won’t cut it. If you play jazz guitar in an unamplified big band with horns and brass and you can’t hear yourself, but your fellow band members don’t want you to use an amp and blast them out, this is barely noticeable and would give you enough volume to be heard a bit better without having to play as hard. You can use the batteries. By the way, I also bought the Hosa five foot cord, which seems very well made. I’m going to put two inch wide black Velcro around the sides and bottom of this amp (the rough part) and use a longer piece of the soft part of the Velcro to make a strap, so I can toss the amp over my shoulder or hook it to my belt and walk as I play. ... show more

  • Great little amp!
Style: Bluetooth Amp Color: Black
This little amp is great for practicing or playing out. The effects are outstanding for my Yamaha 5 string. It's a stereo amp and came with a satellite speaker. The 128ga. B string stresses it pretty good but the stereo out works great hooked to my main amp for quick setup. I usually use headphones when I practice and the sound is clear, no noise, just clear bass notes. ... show more

  • The best money you can spend on a practice amp
Style: Bluetooth Amp Color: Black
This thing delivers unbelievable sound for the money. It's crazy small and light, but the sound is bigger than you'd expect from a little guy. The little bit of delay is perfect to add ambience (don't expect a full on effect), and if you crank the gain you have a reasonably high gain tone--not quite that of a Soldano tube amp, but then, we're nowhere close to size, weight, or the $4k price tag. I love that I can connect via bluetooth to my phone or laptop easily to play along with a song, and I love that the battery life seems to go on and on (I use this every day and haven't had to recharge. I bought the power supply, since in the past small amps, like the Orange Crush, burn through batteries, but I have yet to use it). No, you can't gig or even practice with a drummer with this little amp, but you can take it anywhere and have a satisfying tone. Easily one of the best things I've bought for myself in a long time. ... show more

  • Awesome for home learning!
Style: Bluetooth Amp Color: Black
I love the features with gain, balance, volume and the fact that batteries were included! I didn’t like the fact I had to buy a power cord (6.5 volts) seperately.

  • This amp exceeded my expectations
Style: Bluetooth Amp Color: Black
The sound quality is excellent. I can't believe how much sound comes out of this little thing. I added a wireless guitar rig, so I don't need to use a cable. This has allowed me to walk around my house while jamming along with Youtube backing tracks. I simply place this little amp next to my TV and start jamming. The tone is excellent. I purchased the bluetooth version, so I could also just stream the backing tracks to the amp itself. That feature works well also. You could absolutely play a small venue (ie, quiet coffee shop) with this amp or jam along with an acoustic guitar. The modeling is great. Sustain is decent. The delay is an adequate substitute for reverb. It's so small that it's easy to bring with you anywhere. The headphone volume is adequate. This has stepped up my practice game in a big way. 100% happy with my purchase. Only negative is that it doesn't come with a power cable. That's just lame. ... show more

  • Perfect mini amp/speaker

An absolutely amazing mini amp that doubles as a speaker. Sound is super crisp and for such a small amp it delivers a lot of power. Came with batteries as well.

  • Does not work
Style: Bluetooth Amp Color: Black
Was very excited to get this amp due to high reviews. Unpacked it. Was a bit surprised that 6 AA batteries were already in place. Turned on - no problem. Connected to my uke, tried playing - no sounds coming out from the amp except light crackling. Checked connections, adjusted the volume to the max on the amp and my uke - same deal - no sound. Given the fact that the price of this amp is considerably more than the prices of compatible devices it is unacceptable that quality control let this device get to the customer. Will be returning this lemon. ... show more

  • Great little amp. Buy it.
Style: Bluetooth Amp Color: Black
Great little amp, this one has Bluetooth and makes play alongs or just listening to your music off your smartphone fun. Understanding this little guy only has a 3 inch speaker and doesn't have the capability of being loud but has great sound and makes practicing anywhere fun. Now I take my travel guitar to work , plug in my headphones and guitar and get a little extra practice in everyday. ... show more
