Mini Tonemaster Electric Guitar Amplifier, Blonde, with 2-Year Warranty

Cool little amp, works well in a small space. Don't expect it to sound perfect, after all it's a mini. If your expecting clear and perfect sound, invest in a regular size amp. Great nostalgic item for collectors.

I recently moved into an apartment building and with my schedule the only time I have to play guitar is at night. As it turns out my neighbors are not a fan of me cranking it up to 11 on my larger amp so I figured for 35 bucks why not pick up this little thing. Turns out that this little amp has an amazing sound, way better than a lot of larger more expensive "practice amps(5-25W)" out there. Also do not be fooled by its size you can get a lot of volume out of this thing and though I have nto tried it yet I think it could hold its own at a jam session assuming you have a gentle drummer in the room. Now that I have talked about how great it is I think a little overview of the controls is in order. On the top it has four knobs, one for volume one for tone, one for drive and one for on and off. If you are a gutarist you probably have already realised that it is pretty simple to use and with a few quick adjustments you can have great tone out of the box. Other than that my only gripe and it is not really a gripe is the handle that is billed as "real working" is actually very tiny but would work great if you are GI Joe To sum it up: Pros: Sound - better than amps 2-3 times its size and price. Volume - Works great at low volume to keep the neighbors happy but would be great for jam sessions too Size - Nice and tiny so easy to carry around Cons: The handle does not actually work Its small size means that if you are plugged in it tends to get dragged if you move around too much Doesn't come with its own power adapter(but it does come with a battery)

Ignore the 1 star reviews below. anyone who thinks you can get a full half stack for 30$ should not have the ability to write a review on this or any piece of guitar gear ever. Yes it is small, it is ment to be a FUNCTIONAL REPLICA AMP. that being said it is a nice little replica that resembles a true tone master amp very well. it would look nice on your desk with a tele or strat replica leaning on it. even the mini knobs are the correct design for this amp. looks aside its the sound that really matters and where this thing really does get the job done. its clean tone does have the mention distortion when u crank it 8.5-10, however, anyone that has ever used a tube amp knows that this is what happens when the tubes get natural overdrive, now i dont know if that was fenders motive in designing it this way, but it is kinda cool when you think about it. it is quiet without any gain, so you will have to use it on about 7 or 8. however the clean tone is THE BEST i have heard on any practice amp, save the fender champ tube amp. the gain knob adds some nice overdrive from about 2-5 and anything past 6 kinda sounds the same and just gets dirty. but in the range of 2-5 you can find a nice crunch. The tone blend is so so, on 1 the sound is kinda choked and on 10 it is very bassy, but the range of 2.5-6 is not bad and most of the work is done btw those digits Good: very fluid jazzy clean tone \ good posthardcore/indie/blues crunch \ compact enough for bring to lessons or have in a dorm \ headphone jack to play in your dorm or aptm. Bad: Tone knob only contributes decent tone from about 3-7 \ some dont like it's tiny size (look at the jack for reference)\ 9v battery can bounce around and cause the amp to turn off Over all: Excellent tone for a small amp and in my opinion sounds better than amps up to 300$ or 400$

When I buy stuff I never think about dimensions very much. So when this arrived and was that tiny, my jaw dropped and I though given that if I would've spent 20 more dollars I could've got regular small standard amplifier - I had screwed myself by not doing enough research. As I am a beginner I just needed an amp capable of hearable sound and one where earphones would work well and I could practice before moving onto bigger ones for gigs or group sessions. At first the battery wouldn't work (but that was on me, long story). After getting battery to work, I plugged up and what came out amazed me for the size this is (2 watts I believe). For practicing on your own or even in a house to not disturb others this is perfect (or even as a display as a collectors item). It's super tiny but for how big it is has an impeccable sound. You can't turn it too loud or it gets washed out and I don't mess with distortion and stuff too much so can't comment on variations of sound. I'm trying to find a good wall wart as a power cord but I'm a little leary about damaging product or myself. I still don't know how long batteries last (they are 9V), if I did I would rate based on that as well. Rating it based on what I expected versus what I got versus what I wound up realizing it capable of, I'm very pleased. Plus given how spacious and divided my gig bag is, it even fits in front pocket of my guitar case, so I could essentially carry my entire set with me in one trip to vehicle (As stand collapses down, tuner clips on guitar, pedals fit in pockets). I will obviously get a bigger amp if I play a crowd or audience, but see no reason to yet if this one lasts well on batteries for awhile and since it's a common battery you can buy tons for cheap. If you are a beginner like me and just want to be able to hear yourself play loud enough or hook up headphones and want something very compact to haul around this is perfect. If you are looking for true practice amp for group sessions or gig amp for crowd, steer clear unless you want to be disappointed. If you are expecting a bigger sound than what it offers, you are in for a let down. If you go in open minded and with little expectations this gem will amaze you. Because the size made my jaw drop, the sound made it raise back up as I was surprised by what I heard.

It's cheap, sounds cheap, but it works and it's cute. You are not going to get a great sound out of this, but that's not really the point of getting this, is it? It's cute as hell. It gets the job done and it sounds okay after you figure out the best settings. It's small. It's convenient. It can get pretty loud for it's size, though. Just don't kid yourself... This is a novelty purchase. My only real complaint is that it's REALLY light. I put it on my desk because it feels weird having it on the floor, but if I'm not careful the weight of the cable can pull it over. It does have a headphone jack, but I haven't tried it yet. Feels like that would kind of defeat the purpose. Shipping was decent. It did, however, have a plastic piece rattling around inside when it came, but since it still works, I'm not going to do anything about it. It's just a little disappointing that it got damaged in shipping. Overall I would recommend if you like little novelty things like this. But, try to get it on sale. I got it on prime day and I don't regret my purchase.

I loved this thing when I got it. Powerful enough to practice in a decent-size room, all the knobs you need, it's adorable and seems durable. Then a week later, there's the sound of something clattering around inside the box. I'm an electronics person, so I went to open it up- and oh wow. Inside the box, the speaker is held onto the front by a few cheap metal clips screwed into the plastic. These screws are not properly placed so if you move this unit around at all you will eventually break the speaker free and it'll beat around the inside with 4 sharp metal screws stuck to the magnet on the speaker. Beautiful, right? It hurts the sound quality when the speaker is rattling around loosely. It's difficult to reattach the speaker, because the screws broke off the plastic they were embedded into. You'd have to glue it in place since the screws won't hold. The rest of the unit? Oy. There are loose wires covered in hot glue trying to make sure the loose screws won't short something. If I didn't know any better I'd think this was a 1980s Chinese bodge job trying to rip off a real American brand. A few months later, and miniscule movements of the cords cause cracking and popping because the innards are working loose. I'm tossing this unit and upgrading to something that's built correctly inside. If you really need a dirt-cheap unit, get someone who knows what they're doing to crack it open and cover the innards with more hot glue to hold everything in place- especially the speaker.

Let's first get this out of the way: This is a MINI AMP you play around with. A lot of people seem to have unrealistic expectations of these kinds of amps and rate them poorly because of those expectations. They are good as practice amps that won't have the neighbors complaining and save a lot of space but they aren't actual amps you could use in actual gigs except the smallest of crowds. That said, this Fender is a wonderful little bugger. This little guy is small, a lot smaller than I expected with two 2" speakers. It also looks adorable, not a phrase a guitarist would want to hear about his or her gear, but there is no other way to describe it. Its tweed exterior, chickenhead knobs and small size make it look like a precocious baby brother to the '57 Twin and I really like the way it looks. Its cute with a cool, retro feel given off by the quality of the tweed covering and the leather handle. In terms of sound and volume, its got a lot of neat tricks. With the gain at zero and the volume set all the way to 12, it retains a remarkably clean sound, but its a bit weak volume wise. My Danelectro Honeytone, which has a similar 1w output, is louder with the gain turned down but it breaks up into OD at full volume so it isn't as clean as the Fender at full volume. With the gain and volume set to 12, the amp gives and impressive, overdriven sound, that in my opinion, stands quite well along side its bigger brother. It has a sweet, crunchy, warm sound but its not what you'd use for death metal. I have a affinity for small mini amps and I really think this Fender is worth a look.

WORLDS CUTEST AMP. This thing actually holds a lot of punch too! The sound is great, clear and surprisingly loud for such a small amp! I was really surprised at the quality for the money. Has great control options, super lightweight nd easy to use. We love this little dude!
