LaneyMINI-STB-SUPERG Bluetooth Battery Powered Guitar Amp with Smartphone Interface, Black

I love how this amp sounds.

First the Bluetooth stopped working, then the rest of the amp, immediately afterwards. Of course it happened after Amazon's return period. I gave it one star because it sounded good when it did work.

Guitar Amp:Clean channel is nice and warm, though a tad anemic in the low end, I wouldn't expect much more from 3" speakers so that's not really a criticism as much as calibration of expectations.Drive channel is really effective, and can be subtle or get into really high gain territory. This is where the Gain / Level / Volume controls shine. It's very "real" amp that way.While I'm happy with both through the internal speakers, the sound of this thing is astounding through decent headphones and I'm curious to see how that output sounds in a recording situation.Tone control is fairly basic, a little duller, a little brighter. Concentric bass/treble would've been an improvement.Delay is exactly that, nice clean echo and sounds great on single note stuff especially. I'm a reverb guy, and get a totally serviceable, almost spring like sound when it's set low. The delay level control is a pain in the ass if I can be frank. It's very small and set in a tight space. Yes, maybe I'm big fingered, but I honestly can't see anyone finding it convenient. Given my inclination for max it out and leave it reverb, I won't be changing it much mercifully. But if you want to play around with delay settings, it'll get annoying, I promise you that.App stuff:The LSI and Tonebridge app are a really interesting feature. It's all about emulating other people's sounds, and their library is deep and has some genuinely esoteric options. I'm still trying to see if there's a way to create your own custom sounds, but I don't think there is. As I'm not inclined to emulate even my favorite players, I'm not sure how much I'll use this feature, but - neat. If they'd made a tiny little space for the LSI cable in the battery box so you don't lose it in transit it'd be appreciated, but they didn't. So keep tabs on it or have easy access to some other TRSS cable.Portable Speaker:Everything but the master Volume gets bypassed when you use it as an Aux In or Bluetooth amp, and it's totally serviceable for those applications. I'd rather use my wife's Bose, but then, that's a really pricey option and isn't a guitar amp. So I honestly consider it's ability to be used as speaker gravy on top of a decent little amp. This also improves it's flexibility as a travel tool. Only one thing to bring if you like the idea of travelling with a practice amp and a speaker for watching movies in your brother's guest room.Quick additional note:The control panel is set in a little more than a 1/2". This is great for protecting things as you travel with this little guy. However, this means you can't really use any right-angle plugs. This goes for headphones, guitar cords, or auxiliary cords.Overall:Is it a game changer? Not really. But I wanted something better than one of those plug and play, fit in your case things, I wanted speakers, but I still wanted simple. This is that. A great little amp for headphones or noodling in the living room or office.
