(More customer reviews)Tons of sound in a compact package, this amp is top quality and high tech, but recreates the mellow sounds of the older style tube amps - sounds like a Fender costing four times as much.Great for a practice amp or performing in smaller venues.Great buy.

Behringer GTX30 Guitar Amplifier 30-Watt Guitar Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Well, some of you already know I was looking for a little practice amp. I bought a Behringer GM108 which lasted 2-3 weeks. Sent it back to Amazon for another one and it was a dud, too! So, that got shipped back today.

Yesterday, I ordered the Behringer GTX30 and it came today. Gotta say, it's not bad. Not the best amp in the world, but it serves my purpose.

Tone is very good, clean is CLEAN. It emulates a tube amp by pressing a button. Sounds OK, but not quite the real thing. It's a 30 watt-er and it's loud enough. I'm not too crazy about the overdrive or the cheapo knobs. The OD could be a lot better, but that's not why I got it.

The effects (reverb, flanger, chorus & delay) are not bad at all. Still not why I got it. Though it does work well with my Digitech RP-55 mulit-effects pedal. My RP-55 has the exact same effects and many more and it does a better job. Haven't tried it with my DOD pedals, yet (since I got the RP-55, I don't use them much). Oh, yeah, sounds good with my Behringer HellBabe wah-wah pedal, too.

So, why did I get this amp? Well, like many amps out there it has 2 features I REALLY need: headphones and line-in. Sure, I could've gone Fender or Marshall, but I just wanted to try something else. I've been dialing it in for the last couple of hours and it really does sound good.

Oh, and when I put on the headphones, NO thud or static. When I take them off and play hard, NO thud or static. That was the problem I had with the GM108.

So, am I happy? Yeah, I am!

I still have some MAJOR testing out to do with it over the weekend. But, for now, the amp stays here and is not being shipped back to Amazon.

So far, I'd recommend it anyone.

Roland Micro Cube Guitar Amplifier- Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I've had the Cube for 2 and a half months now. It offers a wide range of effects, sufficient amplification for home practice, and...a wide of effects. The effects are really what this product is all about. What it lacks in power, it punches you in the face with various sound distortions. Acoustic, Heavy Metal, all these sounds are packed into this Cube.

Best of all, it's small and portable! Like the vast majority, I am constrained by budget (who isn't! :P). While no professional guitarist needs this, I consider it a good buy for most of us part-timers.

Orange Amplifiers Crush PiX Series CR20LDX 20W 1x8 Guitar Combo Amp, Black Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this amp at Guitar Center locally for the same price listed here.. $159.I can say that I do not regret my choice over a Marshall or Peavey.Don't let the lack of knobs and buttons fool you.If you play with the gain and overdrive, you can pull out anything from John Mellencamp to Queen to Metallica.The on board FX are spot on and sound beautiful and professional.It is very easy to produce a nice, full range acoustic sound as well. I was a little hesitant with my choice at first, but after playing with the amp for a few days, I wouldn't give it up for anything.Volume is what is expected for a practice amp.For general playing, I never put it over 2 or 3.I did put it up to 5 once, and I do not see why you could not keep up with drums at that level.I don't see this amp gigging, maybe a very small club or lounge, but it does what it was intended to do.. and it does it well.

I really wish this model was foot switch compatible, but I knew it wasn't when I purchased it.I suppose most people use pedals anyway.But the quality of sound and effects from this amp is awesome.

Vox Valvetronix VT15 Guitar Combo Amplifier - 1x8 inch, 15 watts Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)Wow.This is a sweet amp.I have played a variety of guitars & amps over the years, and -- for the money -- this amp cannot be beat.Tones are rich and "breathe" -- just like a tube amp, but with the convenience of a modeling amp.Compare to a Line 6 and prepare to be blown away by the sounds and on-board effects.Vox has a winner here, and the best tribute to this little amp is that it makes me want to be a better player.

Product Description:
Vox's Valvetronix series is a new generation of VOX amp fusing high-quality modeling technology with acclaimed VOX Valve Reactor tube technology. Utilize twenty-two amp models ranging from the latest high-gain monsters to hard-to-find boutique and vintage amps, along with a full array of effects, making the VT15 a combo that will have you covered for a wide variety of styles and techniques. Sixty-six preset programs are also provided, including twenty-two song programs that simulate the guitar sounds of famous guitarists, so even newbies can start enjoying serious guitar sound right away. A perfect practice amp, the VT15 puts 15 watts through a single eight-inch speaker, and provides a headphone output for a little privacy.


High-quality amplifier modeling with acclaimed VOX Valve Reactor tube technology. Click to enlarge.
Twenty-two sought-after tube amp sounds. Click to enlarge.
Add the VFS5 footswitch for more on-the-fly control of programs, reverb, and effects.
OX Valve Reactor Circuit
The VOX Valve Reactor circuit is the key factor that separates the Valvetronix series from other modeling amps. The 100% analog original power amp circuit actually has the same power amp circuit as a full-tube amp, using a 12AX7 miniature triode to reproduce a distinctive tube amp sound unattainable by digital technology. In other words, it replicates aspects that have an important influence on the sound of a tube amp, such as the power amp's class A/AB operation and the interaction of the power stage with the speaker, thus reproducing not only the response of the original amp's power amp circuitry, but also the power amp's distortion as well as the nuances and subjective sound pressure of a full-tube amp.
Since there's a power level control that allows you to decrease just the volume without affecting the tonal character, you can adjust the volume while enjoying the same sense of drive as when the master volume is at maximum. This means that you can obtain the exact same sound even when you're unable to play at maximum volume, such as when you're at home.
22 Amp Models
Another indispensible aspect of the Valvetronix series is the modeling technology that is the source of its diverse amp sounds. The sounds of twenty-two tube amps sought-after by the guitarists are built in, including vintage amps that are now hard to find, as well costly boutique amps. The coverage includes not only vintage types, but also the latest high-gain types, accommodating a wide variety of playing techniques and styles.
12 High-Quality Effects
Effects are an important part of creating your guitar sound. The VT series contains twelve effects with quality rivaling that of dedicated stand-alone processors, ranging from familiar standards to fresh new types. Of these, the reverb effect is always available, and three of the other eleven types are composite effects that allow up to three effects to be used simultaneously. Noise reduction can also be used at the same time. Each effect has multiple parameters that you can adjust to create the precise sound you want. There's also a tap switch that makes it easy to set the delay time or modulation speed. Independent reverb is provided, giving you an even broader range of sound-creating possibilities.
66 Preset Programs
For each amp model, the VT series provides a "song preset" that simulates the guitar sound of a famous guitarist, giving you a total of twenty-two such presets. These song presets make it easy to instantly obtain the guitar sound of well-known songs everyone has heard. Each amp model also has a "basic preset" that represents the most typical settings, as well as an "effected preset" that takes full advantage of the effects, totaling forty-four presets. Together with the song presets, you have a total of sixty-six preset programs. Of course, you can also save your own favorite edited programs as one of eight user programs.
Headphone Output
There's a headphone output that can be connected to headphones or to your mixer or multi-track recorder. Since the tonal characteristics of the cabinet are applied to this output, the sound will not be impaired even if you make a direct-line recording or listen through headphones, ensuring that you continue to get that great spatial depth and character.
Optional VFS5 Footswitch
By using the optional VFS5 foot switch you can switch programs, turn reverb or other effects on/off, or make speed/tap settings using your foot. This is a great advantage when you're creating sounds or performing live.

Line 6 Spider IV 30 30-watt 1x12 Modeling Guitar Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)This thing is in limbo.It has too many functions to be a basic amp, and not enough to be a really broad-ranged amp like it's bigger siblings.It annoys me that it gives you effects, and then doesn't give you a whole lot of ability to fine tune them to your own tastes.The tremolo is especially annoying because you have no control over the depth, (which goes from all-on, to all-off) just the tempo.Another thing, and this is something that has become standard in the Spider series, is that the knobs are digital.While this is not a problem per se, it could be better implemented.When you change the amp model, it overrides whatever you had the knobs set to.This is a problem, because you have no idea what the positions of the knobs are for the presets, and you have to turn them a little to get control of the knobs function, which instantly throws it to the knobs current physical position (indicated by a dimple on the face of the knob, which, by the way is kind of hard to see in low light).Confused?Yeah, some kind of led's around the knobs to show their current digital position would be nice.
On the plus side, they should never crackle when you turn them, even 20 years from now!
The farther you roll the amp selector knob to the right, the higher the gain goes, so if you are trying not to disturb the neighbors, make sure you back off the master before you select Crunch, Metal, or Insane.

As far as sound quality goes, I don't have any complaints.It does sound pretty nice, it can be adjusted to give you a really clean sound, but, as is typical of solid state, it lacks the warm fuzzy tone of tubes.Not a knock really, just par for the course.
The instruction manual does not explain how to use the built in tuner function, and the FAQ's on the Line6 website seem to be describing the 15w model procedure, not this 30w (which is very different in the way it works), but you'll figure it out pretty quickly when you start turning the tuner knobs.Bottom Line: If I had a piece of advice to give to those of you on the fence, I would either get the 15w model, (because I really don't see enough extra features in the 30w model to justify twice the price), or step up to the 75w model which has 300+ presets (and it's probably loud enough to gig with a drum set, which this probably is not).I honestly don't see a hundred dollars difference here, if they had included the 300+ presets on this model, I would give it 5 stars, but as it is, it is a nice little 4-star amp.

Line 6 Micro Spider 6-Watt Battery-Powered Guitar Amplifier Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)I purchased this amp to add some sonic flavor to my series of battery operated amplifiers. I have 2 Roland products a Micro Cube and a Cube RX, 2 Vox amps a D5 and D10 repsectively. Ok so let us get started. The first thing I have to say is that off all of my "amps" this one is the one that has the most features. Pros:
The Line 6 has 5 amplifier modes or channels! You can configure all of the amp settings and then save them for recall later (just set it the way you like and and press the button for that sound until the button blinks). The sounds are pretty good too, useful. I liked the input that allows you to add an mp3 player or other audio source (1/8 stereo mini)The tuner is also nice, not too accurate, but will get you in the ball park. Headphone output / Recording direct out. Cons: The knobs feel pretty flimsy, they are however pretty protected for the most part. Should you move one up or down you will see the rest follow suit. For something so promising it is ashamed that they chose to make a price point over quality. If you are a person that takes care of things, you will have no problem with this product.
