Why this amplifier may be excellent for you:
- Your number one priority is portability. You need to be able to take it everywhere "audition halls, school, out of doors picnics, train stations, to the beach etc. It can even slot in your carry on luggage during a flight.
- You want a straightforward, simple practice amp that has a naturally distorted sound. No more playing with effects or tone knobs.
- You want a practice amp that can run for a good five to 6 hours on batteries.
- Perfect practice amp for people that are constantly on the go such as traveling artists and musicians.
Consider something else if
