RockJam Bluetooth, rechargeable 15 watt portable guitar amplifier

I don't normally write reviews unless the product is really good or really bad. I also like to temper all reviews with an eye towards the cost versus the quality/performance of the item. That being said, this amp is pretty remarkable considering it's made in England, shipped to the US and then retailed through Amazon with free shipping on Prime...all for around $50. First, it's very nicely finished with real wood and quality controls. For the size, the sound is very good. I especially like the second channel with reverb for guitar and don't really miss the lack of tone controls on the reverb channel since they are easily adjusted on most any electric guitar. There is more than adequate volume for practicing to backing tracks or moderate level jamming as long as you're not trying to play over a full drum kit. I have tried it with a bass and although the tone is decent, you don't get the full bottom octave like a real bass amp, but then again, that's the reason bass amps don't use a single 5" speaker. Overall, considering the low cost, high build quality, features including the second channel, built-in Blue Tooth functionality, and long battery life, I was pleasantly surprised.

Amazon. replaced the amp for me, b/c the battery died after a few weeks. Hoping the next one of these (which have been marked down by $20, since my initial purchase, do the same. Otherwise, if the next one does this again , I may consider looking for a replacement battery, b/c the amp is pretty sweet.

This amp has a lot of power and it makes pretty true sounds. Unlike other (smaller) rechargeable amps, this one does not sound tiny or flat. It has a surprising range, including bass frequencies. I guess it pays that they put in a 15 watt speaker. I use it a lot for home practice, but I think it would also work well in a smaller public environment, such as an open mic at a cafe, or for busking on the street. I have tried other little amps in the $50 range and they are not worth the money, whereas this one is worth it (it costs $95). The battery is very good, easily 7 - 10 hours, depending on volume. I use it together with my Xvive U wireless transmitter and receiver system, so I have no cable nuisance. And, obviously, you can put pedals between the guitar and the amp, too. It handles them quite well.

Blue tooth input, mic input, aux input, guitar input...that's four inputs. I tested all these inputs and they all worked fine. For such a low price, and all these features, I was expecting to find something not working. Decent output for a bedroom amp. Very clean speaker out reproduction of the typical guitar frequency bandwidth, via the guitar or mic input. A little bit of overdrive can be obtained with proper combo adjustments of the guitar volume and master volume, but not dirty or crunchy. With a cell phone with backing apps or youtube vids, this set up is excellent for practising or quick guitar playing fix. However, I am not sure it is putting out as much sound as a 15W rms amp should. Perhaps the amp is capable of delivering 15W rms and the speaker has low efficiency? I don't know. But it certainly is loud enough for me to enjoy it.I bought this amp for $42.75. since then I have seen it go as low as $40, and as high as $56 bucks. This amp is a great value at any of those prices.

I must say that I am totally surprised by how good this thing is for under $100.It is particularly good with an acoustic guitar but works with electric guitar and bass.It is very compact for a 15W amp and the battery life is sufficient for a 2 to 3 hours jam.In fact it is so good that I bought one for my bass player so he and I can jam pretty much anywhere without having to worry about finding a power outlet.If you plug your instrument into the MIC input you lose the bass and treble control but you get a reverb/echo effect.Two sounds in a tiny amp!I also own a Roland street cube Which is amazing but unlike this little, it will not fit in a back pack.

I gave this a star because the design is so nice. Solid wood! a great looking amp, and it has a nice little strap for carrying. The problem is that after one day of use, it started having so much distortion, cracking, fuzzing, etc. in the sound. I tried adjusting the bass and treble. Tried low volume, high volume. Tried adjusting the volume on my Ukulele and the bass and treble on that as well. disappointing to say the least. Amazon should just discontinue carrying this amp. It's a waste of time, money, and resources to have it shipped, returned, etc.

I was surprised as hell at the quality. Its all real hardwood construction and feels sturdy and has a weight to it despite how small it is. It gets loud too.Only complaint is the controls are oriented/labelled kind of strangely. This is a busking amp, so it would be expected to have it pointed away from you, at your audience. With the amp on the floor, the controls are only facing you when the amp is facing away from you, but from this angle the labeling is upside down. If the amp is on the floor facing toward you, the controls are angled away from you, but the labeling is oriented so you can read it. It's kind of annoying.
