3.0 out of 5 stars Quality not so good..., June 8, 2009

This item arrived with broken headphones. I was able to fix them, but they are very flimsy and cheap feeling. The little amp does what it says. It allows you to change from "clean" to "distortion' settings, and you can control volume and tone. No automatic shut-off means watch out for wasting the batteries! I recommend that you not waste your money on this. A beginners amp would be a better choice, since we typically connect this little amp to an external speaker for "out-loud" jamming.

The Disney Hannah Montana Pocket Amp is an excellent first-step for the beginner electric guitar student.

Granted, the full volume of the device (through the headphones) is not really that loud, but the manufacturer probably shrewdly designed it that way to prevent hearing loss. Plug in a 3.5-RCA6MM cable into the 3.5mm(1/8") "phone" jack to convert the 3.5mm (1/8") mini stereo to dual RCA (male) plugs, to play the Hannah Montana Pocket Amp through the left and right Auxiliary inputs of your home stereo or portable stereo system. It'll be plenty loud enough.

I am actually using the Disney Hannah Montana Pocket Amp as a preamp for a dynamic microphone. This way, my battery powered outdoor stereo system (with wireless extension speakers) can be set up for everyone to play their iPods, etc. through the stereo system, at full volume, with the microphone / Pocket Amp combo always handy to use as a professional-sounding public address system.

Here are the specifications of the device:

* Standard guitar (or dynamic microphone) 1/4" monophonic input jack
* Standard 1/8"(3.5mm) stereo headphone output jack
* Special effects function switch for "Clean" and "Distortion" modes
* Tone control
* Headphone volume control
* Power switch with LED indicator (no automatic shut-off)
* Requires standard 9V battery (not included)
(shame on you, if not using a rechargeable 9V battery)
* Dimensions: 72mm(2-13/16")H x 82mm(3-3/16)W x 27mm(1-1/16")D
* Unit alone (with 9V battery) weighs 100grams(3-5/8 ounces)
* Nominal Input Level: -20dBu
* Input Impedance: 470Kohms
* Current Draw: 7.5mA (20mA in Distortion mode)
* Headphones have a heavy-duty(4mm diameter) single-entry 5-foot cord, with standard 3.5mm(1/8") stereo plug

Although I don't intend to use the supplied stereo headset with the device, I was impressed with the heavy-duty construction of the unit, as well as the surprising full volume and audio range coming out of those tiny speakers.

As far as the childish appearance of the headset and preamp:

I peeled off the headset decals and removed the star design of the preamp, with a belt sander. They now are more presentable, for my purposes, anyway.

5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the price, February 11, 2012

I was a little hesitant with some of the negative reviews but, I ended up two more. One for my nephew and one to modify. I don't see how anyone can say it's cheap quality... Maybe the Made in China marking? :D All kidding aside It's very solid. The wire on the headphone is an eighth inch thick. I twisted, wore it across my chest, and tried to pull the speakers off. I couldn't break it. The preamp is of very good quality too. Haven't had any issues with the belt clip. The Input jack is a big plus to me. I don't like preamps extending out of my guitars jack. The volume control feels good and is scratchless sounding. Distortion has very good sustain. Clean lacks warmth and has lower output but, it's decent. I use rechargeable batteries without problem. Works well to convert to line levels for computers and stereo equipment. Really wasn't a chance for the price.
