Very cheap, tiny guitar amps. 5 choices w/ different tone simulation.
Prices seem very low compared to other vendors & even their own Ali store.

• 5W output (supports 4 - 16ohm cabinets)
• Headphone out
• FX loop + AUX input
• Includes DC Adapter
• very small

Lots of positive, definitely unsponsored reviews on YT.
How bad can it be?

  I just make my own 5W valve amps with a dual triode (12ax7, 12au7, 12ay7 etc), 6GW8's or 6BM8's, boost converter (or diode pump) and a 100V line output transformer for a little more $, but 100% valve signal path that can be far overdriven…….that blow these things out of the water.

  Different obviously if you cbf building your own, so a positive for putting these out there :)

    Think that'll be a little project sometime, thanks!
    I almost didn't post these since I haven't heard one personally and could be too crap even for a toy. Hopefully not that miserable and certainly low price for a complete amp.

  I'm finding negative reviews as in "it's ok, but why not get a real amp for not much more?"

  Obviously not going to neg, but this is a toy and a bit of cheap fun, not serious kit.

  If it were me I'd put the money into a multieffects box/pedal. The Mooer PE100 isn't much more and if you want a real pedal the GE100 is about double the price. Or you could save for a NUX MG300 (4x the price), MG400 (6x the price) or MG30 (8x the price). All of those would give you a lot more variety in the sounds you'll get from your guitar, and the NUX gear will act as an audio interface letting you record to your computer if you're into that. Not for everyone, but definitely the way I've gone and I'd do it again. Something to consider.

    Yeah would be a joke passing this as a "real amp".
    I watched a dozen or so reviews and your link was the only outright negative one I found, and imo the only honest sounding one. Some funny shill videos plugging into a Marshall stack and getting "blown away!" lol.

    Beginners or anyone seriously looking for a cheap amp are much better off looking for a used practise amp or effects unit with amp sim as you say.
