JOYO Mini Amp 5W Portable Electric Practice Amp Bluetooth Rechargeable Guitar Amplifier Built-in 4 Effects Clean Distortion Overdrive Reverb, Black (JA-05G)

I just got it an hour ago, and right out of the box I plugged it into my Ibanez 6 string. and it works beautifully. The sound is wonderful (For what it is) If you compare this to a more expensive amp you are cheating yourself out of a good product, because you will think it is not as good.For $30 this is a great travel/practice amp. You can get great clean/overdrive/crunchy tone out of it. It connects with my phone and I was able to play some backing tracks on Spotify from my phone to jam to.I personally love it! Will it replace my main amp? NO! But it is not supposed to, this can be bought for pennies and works straight out of the box with no setup. This is great for your 8 year old's first practice amp. Even at full volume, while the sound was clear and nice to me, my wife was able to watch television in the next room, without problem.You can use it while charging, so during long jam/practice sessions, when the battery eventually dies. You can just plug it in and continue playing. I have not had it long enough to comment on the battery life, but every other aspect of it I love so far, and I give it that 5 star rating honestly.My two criticisms are small ones. First of all, it rolls around in the output port of the guitar, as you move or shift its weight, it does not stay still. I worry about breaking it on something as it sticks out from the guitar very far. But even still it is only $30 to replace it if it does. It would be nice to have a mounting bracket (Sell it separately to not increase the price of the unit) But a simple 3d printed bracket to clip it to the body of the guitar better would be something I would buy.The additional 6.5mm adapter that came with it makes no sense, and I am not sure what it is for, and it is not mentioned in the owners manual at all. I thought it would attach to give some more space between the unit and the guitar if you wanted that. But it does not.The unit also comes with Bluetooth functionality, very cool as I said you can plug it into the guitar, connect it to your phone, and then play music or a backing track from your phone to play guitar along to. Or if you just want a small portable speaker to play music from your phone with, it will do that. The owners manual, shows you just propping the amp up on the connection adapter, like a kick-stand. However Guitar people will not want to do that as it can damage that adapter and cause an unwanted buzz or other unwanted sounds. So you could 3d print a small plastic cover to clip onto it, so when you use it as a kick-stand the metal of the adapter is protected from scratches.Do those things and I would give it 10 stars. I would buy three or four more of them to keep in various places like my gig bag, or my friends house where I jam and practice a lot.This is a good product, that is worth the 5 stars and the $30 already. Those two additions would make it way better.

The media could not be loaded. Overall, this thing sounds great for the money. If you don’t own an acoustic guitar and you want to take a little amp with you on vacation, camping, etc I’d say this is worth it. It is louder than an acoustic guitar would be but starts to break up when you go above the halfway mark on the volume. The overall clean tone is pretty solid especially since it has reverb. The distorted tones are fairly cheap sounding but passable. Amazing value for the price. You could probably use it busking on a quiet street but I’d say this is definitely geared more towards people traveling that want to bring an electric. The blackstar portable amps are much nicer than these in terms of tone, control, volume, and battery life. If you have money for the blackstar and don’t mind carrying a cable with you and it being slightly bigger, definitely go with that. If you’re looking for a passable way to hear your electric guitar on the go for as cheap as possible with a super small footprint, this is your best option.

The Joyo Mini Guitar Amp is a fantastic little device that delivers excellent quality sound in a compact, portable package. Despite its small size, it produces an amazing sound with plenty of clarity and volume for practice or casual jamming. The long battery life ensures you can play for hours without worrying about recharging, making it ideal for both at-home practice and travel usage. Its lightweight and compact design make it easy to carry around, whether you're heading to a jam session or simply need a convenient option for practicing on the go. Overall, the Joyo Mini Amp offers great value for guitarists looking for portability and impressive sound.

Great price and sound quality.

Warning: this will most likely cause high feedback when plugged into an acoustic electric guitar... You will need an extra device or solution to eliminate the feedback when using either of the effects modes.The Bluetooth indicator light never stops blinking, very bright blue, which is quite annoying. They should make a switch to turn the Bluetooth off. I cover it with tape.Volume is decent. But effects cannot be controlled in any way. But if you want to play with a high feedback sound on the distortion with an acoustic, this will definitely work. I like to play "Boys" by the Dandy Warhols and it does great for that particular song.
