    • Great features and tone
Style: Heart Attack
I think the little guy sounds great. I’ve never owned or played a Mesa Boogie so can’t comment on how well they emulated a Dual Rectifier, but I like the tone and variety of grit I can dial in. It drives the speaker in my Carvin tweed amp nicely and also sounds good with headphones from the line out jack. Yesterday I used the aux in feature to hook up my phone and figure out a Judas Priest riff. So, does everything I want it to, and I’m very happy. ... show more

    • be sure to watch ALL reviews before deciding not to buy based on a bad one!
Style: Mojo Diamond
I'm building a small combo just for fun summer project; this amp was recommended by friend. The very 1st youtube review, guy with ALOT of followers, is super negative; he totally slams this amp. He hooks it up to a 4x12 cabinet to test 🤦♂️ I found a review vid where someone put the time effort into getting the most out of this amp and its really really great for the size and solid state. When you consider the price thats even better. This amp is a two-trick pony; clean, and crunch. In my opinion that's it; the super high distortion doesn't sound good at all. BUT... the clean and crunch sound ridiculously good for what this amp is, AND it takes OD pedals extremely well! I'm going to pair this with an eminence 6.5" driver in an open back cab that i'm building. When i tested it i hooked it up to celestion 12T-100 and eminence "special design" (for fender); both 1x12 open back cabs. When trying pedals i had it going direct to board and out through studio monitors. Clean with verb and delay is fantastic (for what the amp is) thru fx loop. At one point with klon clone and SC strat, probably an hour just jammin; sounds really good. Surprisingly decent guitar vol rolloff response for a modeler imo. Personally i like OD into input; not through fx loop. But i did test and i think most people would think its fine. This doesn't compare to an actual tube amp. If you want a tube amp then get one. I don't know who this is marketed toward (probably people way younger than me); i guess it might be useful on the floor board, but i just don't know how. ... show more

    • Perfect living room/bedroom practice amp
Style: Thunder Bass
Review Image by BS
Picked the Thunder Bass amp up on a whim because it was down to $50. I had considered it a while ago and opted to get the Valeton TAR-20B (which was the same price at the time), taking a chance on the lesser known option because it claimed 20W vice the Hotone's 5W. I just spent an hour doing A/B comparisons and I frankly can't tell any difference, aside from the form factor and the Valeton's chorus knob. Controls and inputs/outputs are all identical; even the included power adapter is the same make and model. The Valeton certainly isn't any louder. The Hotone wins on style points, though both feel very solid. The Valeton has a blinding bright blue power LED that makes it hard to read any of the knob labels in less than full lighting conditions; the Hotone's power LED is a much more subtle amber. For a cabinet, I am currently using a repurposed Altec Lansing 6.5" driver subwoofer; I ripped out the electronics and wired in a 1/4" jack. This sits under an end table and gives me easily accessible, unobtrusive power for living room practice. I can play along with an acoustic instrument or two if I push it a bit, but this is not something you're going to use to keep up with a drummer or anything too ambitious. My children assure me it produces plenty of power to annoy them when they're playing games online. One thing to note: plugging in headphones does not disconnect the speaker output. Headphone listening is pretty clean; no particular hiss or buzz. Having used both, I would recommend whichever is cheaper unless the Valeton's chorus feature is a deciding factor. At current pricing (with the Valeton over $120), it's no contest. ... show more

    • Great value
Style: Heart Attack
I've only had it for a few days and so far I am very pleased. Only issue is that the FX loop doesn't seem to working properly. If I could get that going then it would get 5 stars. Currently hooked up to my Line 6 cab in my home studio and it sounds fantastic.

I’ve been curious about these little Hotone amps for some time, and the combination of a sale price and the arrival of my Prime dividend convinced me to finally buy one. I ordered the Mojo Diamond as I’m not interested in metal tones, and I am a big fan of classic Fender sounds. I connected it to three different cabinets for test: Two homemade reflex cabinets with 8” Eminence Beta speakers, and a Mojotine with a 129 Eminence guitar speaker. My impression? This is an awesome little amp. I expected a flimsy little plastic and sheet metal box, but this is a really solid unit, built on a cast alumin7m box. It’s got some mass, and doesn’t slide around. The gain and tone controls have a lot of range. Gain and volume interact much like the original- and you crank down the volume, the tone rolls off. My favorite settings were with the volume at 3 o’clock or higher, and the gain between noon and max. That gives you a great clean tone with crunch that rolls on in a very controllable way, using my Hahn tele. There’s plenty of volume, and you could almost gig with this in a very small setting with an efficient cabinet. I think it’s great for jamming, home practice, and recording. Noise level isn’t super low, but with the amp cranked, it’s low enough. I think I’ll be keeping this one for a long time. ... show more

    • Small size Hugw sound
Style: Heart Attack
I use this in a basement studio. Cant blast the neighbors out. Therefore I can turn up gain and volume on this and really get great sound. I pair it with a ESP Kirk guitar with EMGs and you really get a great Metallica tone. Also with my PRS Tremonti guitar its very awesome. I generally run into a 2x12 EVH speaker cab. This product is highly recommended. ... show more
