Guitar Headphone Amp Mini Guitar Headphone Amplifier US Classic Rechargeable Plug-in Pocket Bedroom Overdrive Reverb Effects

So silly me, I thought that because I was an adult that owned my own home and could play my guitar and bass through my regular amps whenever I wanted. Turns out that when the wife is cranky and I am working on the same riff for an hour straight I am in-fact not allowed to use my big amps. So since I have been really happy with the pedals I have purchased from Sonicake I decided to check out their headphone amp for use when the wife says no to the big amps. I have tested the headphone amp in a Peavey G-90, Predator, Patriot, and Generation EXP as well as a Peavey Fury Bass, and a Cort Curbow Retro 4 (active) Bass. This little amp worked out well in all of them. The reverb is nicely there, It is not overpowering, but not anemic sounding either. The volume gets loud enough through headphones, as well as plugged into a small set of non-powered headphone jack speakers. The gain gives you a little punch but stops short of distortion. The amp arrived with a full charge, and through several hours of testing the battery lights still have not moved from the 4 full bars. There is some slight hum, which I found was almost completely reduced by turning the amp up and then using the volume knob on the guitar instead. The hum was more noticeable with single coil pickups but that is to be expected. The construction is plastic, and the switches and knobs are small, but it's a $30 headphone amp, it's not a half stack. Be nice to your gear and don't come at it like Godzilla and it should be plenty durable. It will have a space in my gear for testing craigslist guitar purchases, for going camping, and for keeping the wife happy when she says I'm being too loud. :( There is only one negative that i found and that was that it would not fit into my wife's 2006 lefty MIM Strat. The angle of the jack plate in that guitar seemed to start putting upward pressure on the amp before it fully seated. There was however no problem using it in my 1994 Peavey Predator which is a strat type guitar. I do not have a another Fender Strat to test so I can not say if it is a Fender issue or if it is an issue only related to her particular guitar. In any case if you have been told to quiet down based on my experience I think this is a good option and I would buy it again.

It’s an incredible practice tool. The sound quality isn’t bad but doses have a constant hum in the background but the reverb effect is nice and can also get a nice distortion sound using the gain knob. 100% would recommend.

The Sonicake US classic pocket guitar amp gives me the impression that it's based on a classic US made tweed amplifier. It came packaged very nicely and I love the fact that it has a rechargeable battery. Once I had this out of the package and tried to plug it in the 1st thing I noticed was that it would not plug all the way in to the recessed jack on my telecaster. I switch to my SG and proceeded to do my evaluation. The unit seemed constructed very well even though it was made of plastic. The controls all worked very well controlling the sound of my SG, although with the gain off there was still a noticible distortion. It took me a little bit of time but I finally got a decent clean sound by fiddling with the controls on the unit and the controls on my guitar. When I switched on the effect there was a beautiful reverb/echo. It brought a whole new dimension to this unit My overall impression of the pocket amp is that it is a great practice amp for those who are unable to play through their regular amps.

The Soncake headphone amp is a great item to have in your guitar case. So many times at a gig I try to find a quiet corner to practice at, only to find I can't hear myself. Now with The Sonicake headphone amp, I can practice anywhere. The Sonicake has a rechargeable battery that you can recharge with the USB cable provided. When charged it lasts about 5 hours. The volume will get loud and precise. The tone control over halfway up will be a little shrill for most. The gain I would equate to a tube screamer in front of a Fender. The gain works well for blues,jazz and lite rock. Those looking for more saturation will be disappointed. This is not a metal or heavy rock distortion. That being said the Sonicakecake headphone amp does give you a warm and colourful sound. I first used a Strat and found myself in "Stevie Ray Vaughn" land all day. My Les Paul took on an " Allman Bros." Tone. The Sonicake does come with reverb, although it is not adjustable. The reverb reminds of a "Surf Guitar" sound. Like a Fender Twin with the reverb on 10 or 11. The Sonicake says it also has chorus, but I could not detect any. There also is no switch for chorus. The Sonicake comes with a USB cable, an adapter so you can have two headphone outs or two aux in. The aux in works perfectly for playing along or learning new songs. If you take the the time to adjust the volume on The Sonicake and the media your putting in the aux in, it sounds great!! The price for the Sonicake is respectable, compared to other units with less features.

Came in fine and working great. The only issue is that it is quiet and not durable. I got this for my bass and have used it for about 3 months regularly. I have always had to make sure that the music coming into the headphones was quiet and the gain knob would barely turn it louder and would just make static noise. Just yesterday, sound stopped coming in the left side of my headphones. I would say that I take good care of it but over time, the plugs and inserts would become loose. Not only am I not hearing out of my left ear, the headphone jack became loose. Overall, didn't last me as long as I thought it would and am now looking for other affordable options.

Never got this to work for my guitar and never got money back for it as it was to late unfortunately

Good clear sound with an affordable price ...will review after 5 months

Sehr gut Danke .

Doesnt work at all complete garbage

Hola.......necesitaba algo para tocar en casa sin tener que molestar a nadie y algo simple para cuando viene la inspiración no tener que enchufar el ampli con el jack, los pedales y demás. He encontrado este mini ampli y la verdad que con los cascos puestos suena genial, muy realista. Además que lo puedes enchufar al ordenador y grabar tu sesión. Es fácil de manejar con sus controles de volumen, tono y saturación. Tiene un efecto de reverb bastante logrado, sobre todo en la envolvente. Viene con cable para cargar, otro por si quieres tocar por encima de alguna música desde tu móvil por ejemplo y con una clavija doble por si alguien quiere escuchar lo que tocas o, para enviar la señal para grabar. Da más calidad y mejor precio que otras marcas conocidas. Creo que todo el mundo debería tener uno de estos en casa para luego darle bien con el ampli. Saludos

I had never tried a headphone amp simulator before, so I was a little skeptical of the quality I would find. 45 minutes later I was hooked! I'm not sure how they were able to get so much tone out of this little box, but every pickup came through rich and clean. The gain was not harsh and the tone was actually quite useful and worked well with the gain. The reverb they chose for ambience was not over-the-top like I thought it might be. It actualy blended quite well with the amp. Using the supplied cable and the AUX input, I was quickly jamming with my favourite tunes on my phone. I even hooked up on of my drive pedals into it just for fun - and it sounded great! If you are looking for a quick and easy way to just get up and play - seriously check this out.
