FenderMini Deluxe Electric Guitar Amp, Portable Guitar Amp, 3 Watts, with 2-Year Warranty 7.48Dx11.42Wx3.54H Inches, Black

Let's first get this out of the way: This is a MINI AMP you play around with. A lot of people seem to have unrealistic expectations of these kinds of amps and rate them poorly because of those expectations. They are good as practice amps that won't have the neighbors complaining and save a lot of space but they aren't actual amps you could use in actual gigs except the smallest of crowds. That said, this Fender is a wonderful little bugger.This little guy is small, a lot smaller than I expected with two 2" speakers. It also looks adorable, not a phrase a guitarist would want to hear about his or her gear, but there is no other way to describe it. Its tweed exterior, chickenhead knobs and small size make it look like a precocious baby brother to the '57 Twin and I really like the way it looks. Its cute with a cool, retro feel given off by the quality of the tweed covering and the leather handle.In terms of sound and volume, its got a lot of neat tricks. With the gain at zero and the volume set all the way to 12, it retains a remarkably clean sound, but its a bit weak volume wise. My Danelectro Honeytone, which has a similar 1w output, is louder with the gain turned down but it breaks up into OD at full volume so it isn't as clean as the Fender at full volume. With the gain and volume set to 12, the amp gives and impressive, overdriven sound, that in my opinion, stands quite well along side its bigger brother. It has a sweet, crunchy, warm sound but its not what you'd use for death metal.I have a affinity for small mini amps and I really think this Fender is worth a look.The Minis I have:Fender MIni "57 TwinOrange CR3 Micro Crush PixVox Amplug AC30 w/ 0.7 Amplug CabinetDanelectro Honeytone

I have a Fender MA-10 from the 1990s and it’s absolutely horrible compared to this miniature monster! It doesn’t sound tiny and doesn’t rattle when you put it up past the center volume. I like using a little bit of gain and play through it like that. The gain up to 10 doesn’t sound that great to me though. I still haven’t tried hooking up the headphones to it but I think it might sound pretty good like that as well. I tried placing a mic in front of it to record on Garage Band and it sounded surprisingly good.I also obviously wouldn’t recommend trying to play a gig with this or attempting to play over a drum set in a room, but I recommend this little guy for practicing alone and to get different sounds on a recording.This review is for the Tweed “57 amp, I’m not sure if the Mini “65, the Mini Tonemaster or the Mini Deluxe sound any different. I’m guessing they sound exactly the same and that the only differences are the appearances.

If you expect to get good tone out of this you will be a bit dissapointed. But if you know what to expect, its fun to use. Its actually quite loud and the clean tones arent that bad. The overdrive works but it farts out a lot. It is easy to transport and fun to use though. I should also mention it works for electric acoustic and it sounds good while doing it

I bought this simply because of the cool factor. I am pleasantly surprised by the tones that are able to be created from a overdriven fuzz to reasonably nice jazz clean tones. What I thought would be just a nice shelf decoration actually has some utility for light practicing or maybe travel use. It works great running on a 9 volt battery, two hours of noodling around with and going strong. No it is not loud and will not overpower a kitchen table conversation but it does sound nice and is worth the price.

Best part is that it fits perfectly in my harp case (using it with harmonica only). Not particularly loud - even considering it's small size - but then again it wasn't expensive, it more or less works, and it does look cool. Battery life is unknown.

This thing RIPS. Mine doesn't work well with battery, but it works fine plugged in so five stars anyways. You can get pretty decent volume out of it though it starts to distort at high levels but that's fine when you're primarily playing rock anyways.

I am going to review this for what it is....a mini amp. I do not have high expectations.I'm not comparing this to my $800 amp or any thing else I have heard......just as a mini amp. I think it is safe to say the Blackstar fly 3 is the 5 star amp. The Orange and Marshall are close and really come down to tone. This thing sounds like an old speaker left in the sun . Or a 90s boombox after it fell to the bottom of a pool. It's just bad. If you roll off your volume quite a bit it isn't painful to listen to but if you have hot pups it will sound awful. So in comparison to others in the market this thing is just awful. I dont care what your expectations are. It looks cool but that's about it

Really cool little tweed sounding amp. I pulled the wires from the speakers and soldered a Jack in so I can use it with bigger cabinets, I have small cabinets with 6" alnico vintage speakers, a custom built cab with a 10" vintage alnico speaker, a 4x12" with a mix of ceramic and alnico vintage speakers and they all sound very good. Granted it's not a 1957 tweed deluxe or twin but it does have a tweed sound and overdrive to it and I'm happy with it. I believe many of the negative reviews are people not understanding what this amp is. Tweed tone and overdrive is very different from modern style amplifiers. I own a champ clone and a 5e3 style amp I built. I love the tweed style more than my more modern sounding tube amps.Update- yesterday I plugged a Jensen c12n into this amp and my wife came downstairs and couldn't believe I was playing through it and not one of my bigger tube amps. It sounds fantastic through the 12" speaker and really gets the vintage tweed tone. I have been really happy with it so far and really enjoy playing it.
