    I bought this based off of all the positive reviews, and ill say so far the first couple of hours have been great . It does have a good sound and everything works great. It was built well , uniform stapling and corner bracing , everything looks great. Ive paid twice as much for comparable amps that looked like they were built on a hungover monday. Sounds like more expensive solid state practice amps with plenty of dirt on the overdrive channel. Loving the 3.5 input for my phone to play some backing tracks to shred on. Perfect for the bedroom or a jam session as long as your bandmates arent trying to drown you out on purpose. If thats the case you need practice in the bedroom some more lol.

    I have not used this amplifier much yet. Bought it and an electric guitar to learn to play in my spare time. I don't have much currently but plan to retire in several years. It is a high quality package especially considering the price. Monoprice makes great quality products a great prices. They are not cheap but the products are very good. This amp has not hiss or other noise that I can hear. I had bought an amplifier kit locally and the his was so bad I could use it. The sound quality is very nice also. Does play load enough to practice and has a good amount of control over the sound. The manual was not very thick but it was nicely organized and easy to read.
    I would most definitely buy this amplifier again!

    Arrived in good shape. I was pleasantly surprised at the open back design and good clean sound. The only oddity is that it doesn't work unless power and overdrive are both turned on, this seems to me to be a design flaw.

    Reviewed in the United States on September 8, 2022

    This is my first guitar amp as I am a beginner and from what I can tell by using it for a month now, it was worth it. When I bought my first bass amp for this price, it was pretty bad, but at this price point for Monoprice Amp, I would buy it again.

    What I like about it is that it's small so it doesn't take up a lot of space especially when you don't have a big room and you want to rock out. It's loud. I barely have the volume knob over halfway. Distortion is good if you want to play metal without having to buy a pedal. 3-way eq is pretty neat.

    Overall, if you are a beginner and need an amp that's not too expensive, this is a great option!

    This, in my opinion, is a great quality practice amp with plenty of features for the 'weekend warrior' artist. I've listened to it with my electric and bass connected and the sound is clean and clear with no hum or (unintentional) distortion. I also have no need to crank it up full as my playing, at this point, is far inferior to the quality of the amp.

    It came packaged inside a box, inside a box, inside a box inside an Amazon box so I can't complain about the packaging, realistically, as it arrived it great shape.

    I would recommend this amp for anyone looking for an inexpensive, quality amp with good entry level options.

    I just wanted something portable but decent to transport from room to room. I'm an inside house guitarist. No garage band anymore, I'm older now but still enjoy playing. This amplifier exceeded my expectations. I really love the built in overdrive. I can use a wah pedal and the overdrive, and skip using an extra pedal. It's sturdy, fun, and mine came triple-boxed. Hats off for a wonderful amplifier. It's plenty loud. Lots of fun. I highly recommend getting if you are into ocassional playing and need something portable and affordable.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Good practice amp (as a second amp)
    Reviewed in Canada on October 22, 2022
    Verified Purchase
    Overall, not a bad product.

    I was surprised how bright the sound was; lots of treble and presence. It takes a few minutes for you to dial in the tone that you want, because the lower mid-range is a bit too strong. I did not like the way Mid and Bass knobs were interacting with the sound, but that's subjective.

    Most note-worthy characteristic of the amp: the overdrive knob gives you lots of dirt and grunge. Don't expect the warm tone of a over-driven high-end tube amp, on the verge of breaking. This amp is not going to deliver that sound. But it is capable of giving you loudness, and lots of distortion.

    So even though it is cheap, it's not bad at all. Just bear in mind, you are buying the cheapest guitar amp on the market. So, what you get is not a tone you can fall in love with. What you get is a sound that is good enough for that amount of money.

    To whom would I recommend this? To a guitar player who has a decent large amp; And he/she is looking for something cheap, small and light to carry to casual get-togethers, or a second amp for the bedroom (just for occasional practice).

    If you're just starting to learn electric guitar and want to buy one, be sure to have an experienced person helping you with the EQ. Otherwise, you might get really disappointed.

    Right out of the box, this amp may not deliver a sound that you will fall in love with. But with sufficient tweaking, you can get a sound that is good enough.
