Honeytone N-10 Guitar Mini Amp, Black with belt clip

I am a complete guitar novice, I purchased this amp so I could begin learning. As such, I'm providing this first impression review from the scope of a layman, take it as you will. Build quality is not top notch,it looks great but it's all plastic and you can see the circuit board through the "vents" on the back (I actually thought it was neat but that's me). This is forgivable because of how cheap this thing is. It does seem to be tough though as I've already dropped it from considerable height onto a hardwood floor and it hasn't been bothered, makes sense as you'll probably be traveling outside your home with this thing at some point. The speaker on this thing can get INCREDIBLY loud, at least to me. Not sure about their claim of it being louder than most mini amps as this is the only one I've tried, but I actually had a hard time NOT being loud with this thing, you could easily play to a small crowd with this. I did not notice any buzz or hum from the amp itself (the speaker produces a verrrry tiny hiss that does not seem to get louder with the volume and can only be heard if your ear is against it, did not hear this with my headphones), and any novices out there who are, check first that your guitar isn't picking up interference from your surroundings. Don't sit near large (or power hungry) electronics or power outlets, and put your phone away while you play and it should be crystal clear. I won't comment on the overdrive and tone knobs too much as I don't have the expertise to judge, but they do work and sound quite nice to my ear. The ability to output to headphones is very useful, and worked as expected. In the future, I will try to use this to record the amp directly, haven't tried it yet but if headphones work, my computer will pick it up too so that's nice. The battery this thing comes with died after about 2 minutes of playing, which seems to be a common thing I've read. Mine was dated to expire less than half a year after I got the product (it also has a copyright stamp from 2016 so it was likely made then) and since most 9Vs are rated to last 5 years on the shelf, my conclusion is that the batteries people are getting with the amp are very old and on the verge of dying. If your sound is cutting out on the first day, step one should be to get a fresh 9V from the store. Overall, I'm satisfied with what I got and am confident that I can learn guitar using it. If you want to start yourself but don't want to buy a pricey real amp, this is a fantastic idea.

The HoneyTone is aptly named. It has a long reputation for having excellent sound for its size. That reputation is earned. It has double the volume of a portable amp I own that's twice its size. The tone range is generous (from mellow to high treble). From what I've seen and heard, the "overdrive" function is fairly useless in an amp this size. It tends to go distortion to the point of garble. My guess is specific guitars may work well with the overdrive, but I have no use for it as I prefer clear tones. It is possible to over-volume the amp (as with any amp) so i don't max it out, but for a portable or practice amp, it works very well. I've bought three of these now and plan to buy more. I don't know as I'd pay $40 to $60 for it, but the Amazon price (currently around $20) makes it a great value. I hope it's around at this price level for a long time as it's great for hobbyist projects or for box guitar amping. NOTE: I do not recommend purchasing used versions of this amp. I bought three... and all three were bad out of the box. With an amp this cheap it's returned for a reason-- and that reason is often because it just doesn't work right. You may luck out, but for the extra buck or two imo it's better just to buy a new one.

Look, let’s not pretend this amp is something that it’s not. It is a travel amp. It’s not good for performing or practicing with others, but it’s not supposed to be. It has a perfectly fine clean sound. It runs off of a nine volt or can be used with a dc pedal power or similar. So it’s perfect for solo practicing or playing, and you can run headphones so as not to bother anyone else in the room. It’s not going to take the place of a “real” amp. You might not even have a need for it. But it is light and simple and takes up no space. And it is inexpensive to boot, so why not?

I also have a tiny Fender Mini-Deluxe amp that also runs off of a 9v battery. I play electric guitar with a Teenage Engineering Pocket Operator PO-14 as a tiny rythm section so I needed a second tiny battery powered amp. The first Honey Tone they sent was defective. I'd play one note and it would stop working. The second one they sent works fine. Comparing the 2 tiny amps, the Fender and the Honey Tone, I'd say they sound equally well. But the Fender costs $50 on Amazon and the Honey Tone was half that price. Also the Honey Tone has a belt clip that may come in handy. Neither of them compare to even a 15W practice amp as far as sound quality goes, but they work well enough. Both are noisy with my guitar but do not have the same problem with the pocket operator. I'm sure a noise pedal would solve that but that would defeat the purpose of tiny amps. The main reason for the 3 star review and not 4 or 5 is the bad amp they sent and the nuisance of having to go return it. There is a Guitar Center right next to the place I had to return it. I could have just gone there in the first place but instead had to drive several miles for the return, hoping the next one is not junk. I shop on Amazon for conveniance. This was not that. If I were to choose between the Fender and the Honey Tone, I'd go with the Honey Tone for price mainly but the belt clip is nice also. Keep in mind I've only used this amp for perhaps 30 minutes. I've had the Fender for much longer.

Ein schönes teil und vielseitig einsetztbar ,tragbar am Gürtel , hat ein sehr schönen sound mir gefällts es ,die Lieferung war schnell gut verpackt keine schäden zumelden, 5 x Daumen hoch.

Para su precio que es extremadamente barato se me hace un muy buen sonido. Había leído malas críticas del producto, pero en realidad suena muy bien y demasiado potente para la bocinita que tiene (obviamente ya con un overdrive natural). Con la pila de 9v que viene incluida no suena bien, pero quiero pensar que la pila es mal y probar con otra de mejor calidad.

Sinceramente desconfiaba de este microamplificador pero viendo las buenas reviews en Youtube me decidí por el y vaya sorpresa. PUNTOS POSITIVOS : - Diseño y aspecto : Es precioso, el cuidado que ha puesto el fabricante por conseguir un estilo vintage de los 50 es espectacular. Tiene una entrada de jack 3.5 y de alimentador 9v que no trae, ojo. - Materiales : Sí, es de plástico pero lo disimula muy muy bien y si no estas cerca no lo aprecias. Es un plástico bastante aceptable, no es de gran calidad pero tampoco malo. Lo potenciometros son muy buenos y tienen una resistencia al moverlos comparable a los amplis mas caros. Tambien tiene un asa a modo de decoracion que imita muy buen a la piel. - Sonido : Lo uso para armonica y es tremendo en potencia con un sonido limpio sin apreciarse ruidos indeseables. Con el potenciometro de volumen al minimo y la ganancia a las 3 (como si fuera un reloj) me ha marcado el sonometro de mi movil 81 decibelios. Osea que si la armonica normalmente llega a 70db en acustico, con solo un cuarto de potencia (hablo de gain, el vol. sigue al minimo) este bicho desarrolla unos 10-11db. Es un sonido algo hueco imitando el sonido de los años 50 pero ecualizando puedes conseguir llevar el tono a tu gusto, incluso en el manual hay presets para todos los gustos. Segun dicen con la guitarra electrica tambien da excelentes resultados. - Portabilidad : Posiblemente el mejor aspecto junto al sonido ya que puedes llevarlo a donde quieras, es muy ligero pero tambien tiene un peso que dice que dentro hay material de calidad. PUNTOS NEGATIVOS : No trae el alimentador de 9v, tenlo en cuenta. Tambien me habria gustado algo mas de proteccion, de goma por ejemplo en las esquinas, porque el plastico se ve frágil ante una caída. RESUMEN FINAL : Excelente 10/10, es precioso, puede adornar tu salon cuando no estes tocando. Tiene un sonido muy conseguido y potencia de sobra para practicar en casa.

Che ganzata ragazzi, piccolo ma potente, un stile carino molto affascinante che piace a tutti, comodo da portare con l'aggancio alla cintura, arrivato con i tempi stabiliti e integro. Ottima scelta

So far so good! I was looking for a tiny amp to take along on a bike and to play without having to look too much into settings (my flat really just allows for a small modelling amp, for which finding the right settings is not always easy). A somewhat clean sound, and some distortion is all I needed, and all I got. There's also a tone dial. The speaker is mightily loud for such a tiny thing. Yes, the clean sound is not completely clean but it works well enough for my purpose. The belt clip is perfect as I'm now able to dance around without having to worry about cables. So far none of the problems some people described. I'll update the review should this miniamp develop any problems. Other than that: it's a toy, but for me a useful, and rather cute one. edit: connected a ts9 to it, and the sounds I get out are really odd, but fit perfectly to a song I'm practising. Now on to find a similar sound on my proper amp
