Waste of Money.......2007-01-02

1. Forget the headphones, if you're interested in playing guitar, you need to actually hear what you play. So, replace them, first thing.

2. The amplifier is terrible, so if you want this thing just to practice at home... well, supposing you care nothing for the sound then it's ok. But then, why play guitar in the first place?

So, to sum it up, if you play guitar, and you respect yourself, spend some money and buy something decent. This is an item you may want to give away as a birthday present to a 7-year old.

Just to clarify, this headphone amplifier does NOT have a speaker. You must attach headphones (supplied) or your own amp/speakers.

Also, it comes in either brown, green, or yellow AT RANDOM, and is meant to clip on your belt/pants. It's not built like a brick so don't step on it.

Also, in the negative column, I found the distortion sound unpleasant when I cranked it to 11. However, setting the level to halfway or 2/3 of the way up produced an acceptable distorted sound. (I don't have a lot of experience with other cheap amps, though, so the Danelectro might not be the worst thing out there.)

In the positive column, the clean sound was good, there was no hum, only a small amount of hiss, and the reverb was mild but pleasant. (There's no control over reverb level or speed, only an on/off button.) There's plenty of power to drive the supplied headphones at "loud enough to hurt your ears.)

Grand total: 3 buttons (Power, Distortion on/off, Reverb on/off); 2 dials (volume control, distortion level); 3 jacks (guitar in, headphone out, line out); one LED.

Bottom line: if you don't have a headphone practice amp already, getting one at the current low price is a no-brainer.

THis is a WONDERFUL little headphone amp! Finally, I can practice/play any time I choose, and I don't have to worry about bothering anyone else. The unit has a distortion effect and an echo effect. I love the quality of the echo effect so much, that I have actually used it on stage a few times in place of my (much more expensive) Rocktron Short timer Digital Delay. As others have mentioned, I replaced the headset with a quality (but not expensive) Sony set. But, at this price, it's hard to believe they include a headphone set of any kind! Don't listen to those who criticize its potential for "live" or "one-stage" use. IT'S NOT MEANT FOR THAT! If you use this to practice or to entertain yourself, without interfering with other people in the room, you are going to be thrilled. I also lay down chord tracks, on an inexpensive cassette recorder, and practice playing lead. If anything happens to this little amp, I will quickly replace it. I have encouraged all of my electric guitar students to purchase one, and I'll be giving them as gifts to friends who play. At less than $20.00, the Danelectro e-studio 15, is a tremendous bargain. The features, flexibility, functional design, and quality of the product are just OUTSTANDING. You just can't go wrong.

Surprisingly decent sound for something in this price range! And loud enough to fill an ordinary room with sound; hard to believe it runs off of a 9-volt battery. You can also plug in a Walkman headset. In contrast, the Pocket Rock-It costs more and is headset-only; no loudspeaker. The three knobs on top are volume, tone, and distortion. It comes with a fresh battery and it has a belt clip so you can wear it. It's a good value and takes up very little space. I kinda like the nostalgic pastel colors, like a blast from the past.

First let me just say I'm a big fan of Danelectro. I own six of their effects pedals in addition to this amp. They make excellent products for what they charge and I've been impressed with almost everything I've bought from them.
On to the headphone amp - First off you might as well throw out the headphones it comes with, they're crap. But that's to be expected I guess. That aside, everything else performs very well. It's definitely loud enough, the distortion is good, however it is pretty fuzzy and gets noisy at higher volumes. The echo on this thing, (which is the main reason I decided to get this instead of a Rockman) is awesome. It sounds exactly like my classic slap echo pedal. It's very clear and stays consistent with the distortion on or off and at higher volumes.
I like the line out option but I haven't tried it yet. It's a cool idea though. It is smaller than I thought it was going to be which was a pleasant surprise. It's about the size of a pack of cigarettes, maybe a little bigger. Definately small enough to keep in your pocket. It's also very lightweight.
My only real complaint is the retarded sea foam green color, and cheesy fake chrome but who cares, no one ever sees it anyway.

Overall I'd definately reccomend this amp to anyone looking for a mini headphone amp (...). The Dean headphone amp looks like it could be decent but it doesnt come with echo and it's hard to find.
