JOYOJa-03 Tube Drive Mini Guitar Amplifier Golden

First one sent was the wrong model (Lead). Amazon corrected quickly and sent the tube model. Since I tested both, I can speak to them both. The Leads volume was a little touchy and as a beginner player the slight reverb was hard for me to play. The tube type is clean, no reverb and the controls worked well. These are very convenient to practice while the family is sleeping or watching TV. The box can get in the way on a guitar that has a side plug in. The controls are simple and the box produces plenty of volume with AAA batteries.

Sound fidelity is good. Gain distortion works well. Also used as a preamplifier to audio system amp with good results.I wonder if there really is a difference in "Tube", "Metal", "English Channel", etc. sounds. Some listings show assorted types without ability to specify. This one said "Tube" and that's what arrived.Note that batteries need to be replaced. I might prefer built -in Li battery, USB chargeable. Matter of personal preference, I suppose.

Decent personal amplifier for practice, when paired with headphones. Sound quality leaves something to be desired.

four 10 minute sessions and it was cooked. sounded great but just didn't last very long. just a buzz now. good luck...

I would buy again in an instant if mine died. I like practicing with my amps my neighbors don't. I use 6 foot headphone extension and a 6ft line in for phone/tablet line input.The good. It's cheap and has a pretty wide range from fuzz to lightly overdriven. It's loud in your ears even at the lowest volume. It's a little harsh by itself, but for playing along with music lined in from my laptop or phone it sounds great. It takes pedals well. It makes setup for practicing easy which makes it fun.The not so good but in no way deal breakers. Controls are VERY sensitive. It goes from just right in volume or distortion to too much with a little touch. Battery life is about 8+ hours with light use or about 4-5 continuous like forgetting to turn it off.

Works Very Good and sounds Very Good. Great Price, Hey it does just what they say it will and I am very pleased.

Works pretty well. If you are just looking for a way to play without waking the kids/neighbors for an affordable price this is it. The audio in jack is a little fuzzy at times, but I was looking for functionality, not audio perfection. I'm very happy with this, now I can practice my solos over baking tracks as late as I want.Volume works how I would expect.Gain is ok, would recommend mostly blues/crunch sound, works for metal but putting the gain too high doesn't sound great.Tone falls in line with the same function as the guitar's.

I'm amazed at the reviews on this thing, it sounds no better than the cheap mini amp that I was hoping to improve upon. I have owned several mini amp thingies over the years, this is one of the worst. It sounds muted through decent phones and awful through good quality ear buds. I really wanted to try the Vox plugs, but didn't want to spend that much money on a practice device...you get what you pay for. Fortunately, I didn't spend much on this, but my advice would be to save your money and by something else.
