Love this amp(s) in a stompbox
Very well constructed. Sounds great, simple to configure. I'm 40 and don't have time to screw around with all the new software amp sims etc, they sound good, but you'd waste a lot of time dialing in your sound. I love the simplicity of this device; a couple knobs and some switches. Just plug in and play. I'm going to use as a DI for recording too. It plays well with my ME-50 multi-effects. For the price, it can't be beat. There's a similar unit, different brand, that's about double the price! Try this out first and return it if you don't like it. I love it.

Way cool!
Nice little gizmo that works pretty damn good. It's more better! Bought rechargeable 9 volt batteries and the power supply.

Well built, nice D.I. but speaker sim poor
No bypass for speaker sim. Higher gain sims are pretty noisy. Well build and performance as D.I. very good. Sounds best in bypass mode.

Awesome!!! Love it.
Im a Semi driver and i was looking for a small practice amp for the road. Some like this model but from other brands are double or more in price. I play bass and it works for my needs very well. Construction and quality is really good.

The bad: My Pocket Amp never worked
The bad: My Pocket Amp never worked. It's a dud.I've had many different guitars/amps/pedals over the years for practice and performance purposes. I tried different combinations of guitars, cables, headphones, earbuds, 9V batteries, AC adapter, etc... Nothing worked. The indicator light turns on, but there is never any sound. I want my money back. Happy to adjust my review if I get a working unit.The good: It's a beautiful piece of equipment. Obviously very sturdy.

Hard to dial
I had high hopes for this emulator. It is the fifth such pedal I have purchased since my decision to stop lugging amps around. The palmer is well made with solid switches, knobs and buttons. Everything you'd want a good pedal to be. But, dialing the sound is difficult as it only has two tone knobs. Treble and bass. It is possible to get a nice clean tone, but the built in distortion settings or adding drive pedals to it, just causes it to become fizzy and thin sounding. I typically play my Gibson studio 50s tribute Les Paul with p90s in it. You may have better luck with humbuckers or a strat. The feature set, especially the headphone out and the aux in are the main reason I bought the Palmer. But I just couldn't get past the sound of the thing. Good idea, needing refinement.

Nice Little Amp
First of all the description is wrong in that it is not "Made in Germany" but in China if that matters to you.The sound is very clean and mine has no hum or noise, I use it for bedroom practice and it is a significant improvement over an amp plug like the Vox unit I own!I like the differences in the tone that I can achieve via the controls ranging from a very clean sound to heavy crunch.Overall a very nice gadget and hard to beat at this price! I gave it 4 stars and not 5 because of NOT being made in Germany as advertised!

Great Box of Sonic Tricks!
Running this little box through a 125 watt Bose portable PA system and getting probably the best guitar sound I have ever achieved. I love the Fender and Messaboogie settings they both work incredibly well. I must confess I haven’t found the sweet spot on the British Amp setting but hey I got two great guitar amps in one little box. Well made, easy to use, versatile and great value for money!

pratique et polyvalent, beau son
Vraiment pratique.Il offre une grande variété de sons, parfaits pour la pratique ou les petites performances.Un point à noter, il faut appuyer fermement sur le bouton pour l’activer.Cela peut surprendre au début, mais une fois activé, il fonctionne parfaitement. Un excellent choix pour ceux qui cherchent une solution compacte et efficace

Excelente relación calidad-precio por sonido y múltiples usos
Producto muy interesante y con múltiples funcionalidades, capaz de dar buen sonido si se usa correctamente. En mi caso lo uso principalmente como amplificador de bolsillo para practicar en casa con auriculares. Normalmente lo uso en limpio ya que lo tengo al final de mi pedalera y por la entrada de línea le meto ritmos con un pedal sdrum. Sólo para este próposito ya me parece excelente pero también la he usado como DI box para una guitarra acústica con buenos resultados. Además tiene otras funciones como la simulación de amplis y se puede usar también para grabación, como pedal de overdrive o distorsión e incluso para enviar guitarras al equipo de PA directamente aunque nunca lo he usado para esos propósitos.Como comentario negativo decir que la unidad que me llegó hacía un ruido como si llevara algo suelto dentro. La abrí y encontré dos arandelas sueltas. A parte de eso la construcción es buena y el tacto de los potes también.En general, me parece muy útil para el uso que le doy y además viene bien tenerlo a mano como soporte ya que te puede sacar de muchos apuros, por ejemplo si se falla un ampli o si quieres viajar ligero para pequeños bolos y no llevar recambio. El que pueda funcionar conectado a la corriente y con pila también es un plus. Lo volvería a comprar. No entiendo el comentario del cliente que dice que no sirve para nada, a mi me parece todo lo contrario.

Muy buen preamp
Es un preamplificador muy útil, práctico, bien diseñado y sólidamente construido. Aunque ya tiene sus años en el mercado no me parece que sea obsoleto, tiene muy buenas prestaciones a pesar de que hay productos que le han superado en cuanto al número de efectos y emulaciones. Es muy útil para grabar guitarras directamente a la computadora (yo lo conecto a un UMC22 de Behringer y de ahí a Logic Pro) y el resultado me parece más que aceptable. Lo único que me desconcierta es el salto de volumen entre el modelo de amplificador "VINTAGE" respecto a los otros dos ("US y "BRIT"), que obliga a hacer ajustes drásticos de volumen y setteo. También siento que no resulta tan clara la diferencia entre los modos "HEAVY" y "CRUNCH". Como sea, no es nada que no se pueda corregir moviendo las perillas hasta encontrar el sonido deseado.
