Product Description
This bass guitar amplifier features a 20-watt amplifier and an 8-inch driver. It reproduces frequencies from 70 Hz ~ 10 KHz with a total harmonic distortion of 0.5% (typical). It also has a built-in, switchable active compressor. It features a 3-band EQ, with the bass EQ centered at 100 Hz, mid-range EQ at 800 Hz, and a treble EQ at 6 KHz. It features a 3.5mm line output with an impedance of 1 kilohm, for directing the output signal to a mixer, recorder, or another amp. The 3.5mm stereo headphone output will defeat the internal speaker for quiet practicing.

I wanted something really portable with decent features, and this hit the spot. It is great with my acoustic 5 string to add just a bit of drive that the acoustic needs in when playing with a couple other guys. And it sounds equally good with my traditional electric bass. Sure, that B string is missing some depth, but this amp is designed for portability, so that's to be expected.
Highly recommended! Excellent value!
AND NOW, AT LAST (!), ON TO THE ACTUAL PRODUCT REVIEW:
Summary: IT'S AWESOME! Details: Looks really well made and on volume setting of 5 (out of 10) fills a 1,200 sq. ft. room with a vaulted ceiling with way more sound than the 10W did at its maximum volume setting (that's probably pretty close to what should have been expected though, but still it was pretty impressive). At its maximum volume, I guess, you can probably use this amp to test the structural integrity of your house for earthquake/hurricane readiness. At the volume knob set to 5, it was louder in our living room than on the dance floor at a club on a Friday night. I did not dare go above 5. Actually, we ended up having the volume control on the violin itself turned down half way for the amp to sound at about the same volume as a regular acoustic violin would sound. I am not an audiophile, but to me the clarity was just great. My daughter, on the other hand, is very picky (she has a perfect pitch and spends 30 minutes every day tuning her violin to absolute perfection - she is very bothered if something is microscopically too sharp or too flat and can't practice like that at all), but she also had no complaints about the quality of the sound. I had a Hosa Cable CMP310 1/8 inch TS to 1/4 Inch TS Adapter Cable - 10 Foot so we plugged in the laptop for the accompaniment in INPUT2 (coming from the laptop's headphones output). BTW, both inputs on the amp use 1/4 plugs. It's worth mentioning that this is very convenient to have a separate volume control for each of the two line inputs on the amp. We ended up turning the volume on the laptop down to about 60% and using the volume control knobs on the amp to adjust the volume of the accompaniment to be coordinated with the volume of the violin connected to INPUT1. Both volumes ended up set to about 2, though. Now size-wise, it's a bit smaller than a medium sized wheeled carry-on (for airplanes) and weighs about 20 pounds. I mean I could easily take it to a performance if needed, but it's not something I would want to carry to lessons every week. So I am keeping the small amp for that purpose. It looks fine (I mean considering that all amps that I saw on Amazon somehow have that same 1960's retro-look) and feels solid and well-made . The exterior shell is upholstered with some fabric/carpet material (sort of like car floor mats) - I don't think it collecting dust will be a problem, though - a microfiber cloth should be pretty effective for dusting it, I think. All in all, I am impressed and happy enough to actually want to write this review. I believe this product/company/seller deserves it. If you are wondering if this review is real (as I am always a little skeptical myself of glowing 5-star reviews for lesser known brands - lately I've been noticing that a lot of those seem to be bogus, paid reviews - I always check out the 2-star reviews also to see if they actually make sense (i.e. that they are not just complaining about the speed of shipping, or a crystal vase shattering, when they very briefly dropped it on concrete floor)), then please click to see my other reviews - not all of them are 5-stars as I usually feel more motivated to give a bad review to vent out disappointment than to praise a product if it is as expected and I am satisfied with it. But like I said already, I believe this one deserves to be praised especially considering that it has only one other review at the moment and my review might actually end up being helpful to you.
… Up date on this... Speaker's finally broken in and I ran my mp3 playing all kinds of music from my personal music ( over 750mgps of original copy rights at The Library of Congress ) for about a total of 15 hours listening to my favorite Jazz station WUCF 89.9 FM and all kinds of music from Rock to Blues to Country etc. What surprises me is the way the speaker handles all of the frequencies with such cleanliness... This thing is The Ultimate Full Range Speaker... I hope these things don't go up in price as the other ones have like the 5 watt tube and the 15 watt combos have... I will buy more of these just to have as Xtrass and keep them in storage...
Well the speaker went... and I put a Skar Audio FSX8-4 8" 350 Watt 4 Ohm Pro Audio Midrange, and I'm breaking in again.. This is what speaker should have been in it from the start... It fit perfectly, only thing is the logo's upside down... WHO CARESssssss...
