Fender Mini '65 Twin 1-watt 2 x 3-inch Combo Amp - Blonde

This item's banner line says "Fender Frontman 20G... etc." That's not what this is, and I knew that when I ordered it, so I was not disappointed in the least. It's a Fender Mini Twin, battery powered amp. Basically, it's a novelty. I'm a pro guitarist and in no way is this a giggable amp, but its really cute -- they did a great job of printing on the front -- very clean, crisp. And, very "Fender Looking". As far as how it sounds? Well, don't expect this to sound like, for example, a Twin Reverb, or a '65 Deluxe... it sounds like a toy - very thin. Someone could use it creatively as, for example, I've used my "Honeytone" (which I had for at least 15 years?) to sound like a little practice amp on a recording. That's what this is -- maybe not even up to practice amp. But, if you're on tour and you are writing with a colleague... or, in the car/bus/boat/other form of mass transport.... or wherever you might benefit from something to make your electric guitar audible, well, this is just what you need. It's also pretty cool looking on a shelf with a tiny little guitar. So, yes, I'm happy so far. I'm not sure it's really rugged, but I'll just have to see how it holds up over time. Probably the weak point is the speaker mounting. I'm going to do a test on battery life. You can use it with a 9V center neg brick. Also, the handle is not a real handle whereas the Honeytone DOES have an actual handle. My Honeytone sounds just as bad, and is pretty much the same thing in a different package. I included a little photoshop pic that show the size relative to a Samsung S4 cell phone.

This should never have been resold. It was DOA. Something was loose and rattling around on the inside when it arrived. Would not power up.

I gave this amp five stars because it is exactly what it is designated to be, a mini 1 watt amp with (2) 3” speakers that has surprisingly good sound and volume. It also looks very cool. After reading the reviews most were spot on, but I wonder if some reviewers received a damaged, defective unit or if it was a matter of realistic expectations for a $59 mini amp? If you are looking for a light and portable amp so you can play your electric guitar at the lake, bonfires, tailgate parties, or at other places you would generally play your acoustic, you have found it. And you have the option to clip it to your belt if you like to move around while you rock out. It is also nice to have it stashed in a drawer somewhere in your home so you can spontaneously take it out and jam for fun without dragging around a heavy amp and looking for an electrical outlet close to where you want to play. It is a great little amp that does the job it was made to do and even comes with a battery. There is more volume and tone than I expected and with my G&L I can dial in a remarkably good Fender twang. I play acoustic most of the time, but when I want to play an electric guitar in a place where there is no juice, with the Mini Twin I can.

I got this for my granddaughter, figuring she couldn't possibly already have one. I was right! She has other full-sized amps, but nothing this small and cute. She really likes it. Definitely low-power with zero bass but what do you expect?

I like the portability and compact Nature. I like the option for a 9 V center negative power cord as they are easy to come by. The headset jack adds a little extra function when I want to play the e-violin quietly. I do get a bit of a hum, and I may need a filter at some point, but it’s not that troublesome whatever the source. Since I am not a performance violinist, I enjoy the portability when I am going for my lessons and showing off with my new Yamaha YEV104NT e-violin, a beautiful instrument itself.

What an (index card size) piece of junk!!!

When got item it was broken an something was rattling on inside and would not power up.

Mine came rattling when it was ordered around Christmas. Took it apart and the clips holding the speakers were loose so i tightened them and it's all good now. Don't think you can use this amp with a 9v it sounds like shit and dies in about 30 minutes. But using a pedals power supply it works great. Only get this if you want super fuzzed out tone. There's no way you can make this amp sound clean I've tried with my MIM strat with single coils and my schecter with humbuckers. Overall great amp if you just want fuzz tones.

Ich hab schon den 2 ten gekauft,und lasse sie meistens mit einem Y Adapter Kabel gleichzeitig am Wohnzimmer -Tisch spielen... wobei einer auch schon einer klasse Fender klingt..Klasse, leistungsstarker präziser Fender Mini Amp,kann man kaum glauben, daß der Amp nur 1 Watt hat, sowie der schon bei Lautstärke 3 loslegt...und das Fender warm röhrenklangmäßig! Diesmal getestet mit F....r Jazzmaster Singlecoils Klingt live noch viel besser als mit Handy Mikrofon aufgenommen.. evtl das Video mit besseren Lautsprecher hören.. geht dann etwas besser... Video, zuerst Clean mit Volume 4,und Gain 2,5 gespielt,danach mit Chrunch Gain 5.. für Old school Rock geht auch noch more Gain,auch Vorschaltpedale mag er gerne...Clean,Blues, Chrunch,Oldschoolrock..und mit Pedal mehr...auch mit Humbucker super Klang... getestet mit Telecaster SC, Höfner Shorty Humbucker, Stratocaster SC, Jazzmaster P90, ES 335 Humbucker, und zum Schluss mit Jazzmaster Singlecoils,alles Klasse !Dieser Miniamp wird totale unterschätzt!! ,schnelle Lieferung,..Empfehlung!!

I'm just beginning to learn how to play--and i live in an apartment--so this little unit is great for me--its got no bass as youd expect, yet sounds ok-- but for the money and my talent level it does the job quite nicely
