JOYO 10W Mini Bass Amp Bass Guitar Practice Amp Combo Bass Amplifier Portable Small Battery Powered Bass Amp Dual Channel (MA-10B)

I don't often write reviews, but I felt it was needed for this little portable bass amp that I love so much! It has been 2 years since I bought this, and everything still works 100%. I rarely use the adaptor as the battery life with the 6aa batteries is awesome; I literally get 3-4 months of regular playing out of one set of batteries! I've played small acoustic gigs with this, practice wearing headphones, and jam along with my smartphone, and it has been great! Not to mention it is incredibly light weight and easy to carry using a guitar strap. I have played this cool little amp alot and it has held up perfectly with no problems.If you turn it up too loud, the speaker will distort, which is to be expected. But it is just loud enough to play nicely with an acoustic guitar and singer.My speaker still sounds great after 2 years. Be realistic about the sound; it's not going to rival my small 25w Fender Rumble, but it sounds good to me! Fingerstyle, picking, slap and pop all sound nice!If this somehow died tomorrow (which I highly doubt) I would 100% buy another one. This little amp has been one of the best music gear purchases Ive made in a long time. I also recently bought their pocket bass amp for use with headphones and it's also fantastic! I think Joyo makes awesome reliable gear at a great price! Just have realistic expectations for what you pay.I will gladly support Joyo and recommend their gear to others!!

Everyone is amazed at this little box, how much music it produces and how easy it is! for small family gatherings, like Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas we pull this down to the living room and can plug things in (like bass guitar) and sing and play. Lightweight, very inexpensive and runs forever off batteries.

I bought this so I could jam in the park with acoustic guitar players. It has just enough volume to work well. I have to use the gain on the clean channel to get it loud enough. I also need to really tweek the tone setting on my bass to get a good sound otherwise the speaker will crap out. The tone knob on mine must be faulty. I don't hear any difference no matter how I set it. I decided not to return it through considering how inexpensive it was. Otherwise I might have rated it 5 stars. The drive channel is kind of useless to me. It gives it a fuss bass sound. The aux in can sound really good with good quality mp3 player. It can have a really good low end. What I really like is the battery life. So far I've been playing it for about ten hours on a new set of Everready rechargeable batteries. This is a good product for the money. It's a nice light portable practice amp.Update: the tone control works. I tried my acoustic guitar. It just doesn't make any difference on my basses. Active or passive pickups don't make a difference. The acoustic guitar sounds great with this amp. It produces a very clear clean sound that can fill a decent size room.

Beginner bass player here. I got this amp to practice at home and I think it's great.The sound quality is really good, and I love that I can plug in headphones to not disturb the rest of the house when I get the random urge to practice at 3am.With the aux port, it also makes for a good speaker to plug a device and listen to music! Multi-use!Also, it's small and very light in weight, so it's very easy to travel with!

EDIT: I ended up returning it. It just has no volume, and I can only dial one decent tone out of it.Original review: Well this is a tricky one to review. In my more than 30 years of guitar playing experience, it’s only been in recent years that they’ve been able to make small, portable battery powered guitar amps that actually sound decent, and they still sound thin and have no low end. So you really can’t expect much out of a small portable bass amp.With that said, this amp has a surprising amount of low end for a plastic battery powered amp, but it is more of a mid-bass that gives a bit of a muddy tone. I’m simultaneously impressed that it exceeds my expectations and just a little disappointed with the overall tone.My only real disappointment was being misled by reviews on here to believe it is louder. I saw claims that it’ll keep up with 2 acoustics, and even two acoustics and a mandolin. It is not even close to that loud. The issue I have with it is with the volume maxed and the drive down it is barely audible. You have to leave the volume all the way up, and adjust volume with the drive knob for a clean tone, and at about 1/4 drive where the volume gets decent the tone starts to break up. By half drive the volume is about maxed, and you have an slightly overdriven tone that is not entirely different from my Ampeg with the drive and mix about halfway. Anymore and the amp starts to rattle and buzz. So you really can’t get a clean tone with any sort of volume.My bottom line is, if you’re in the market for a practice/first amp, then you’d probably be better off with even the most basic starter pack amp, but if you find yourself with a need for something more portable that doesn’t tie you to the wall, then this is a viable option. The only real competition would probably be the Blackstar Fly 3, which at nearly twice the price, has more gimmicks, 3 drum loops, a couple modulation effects, fluorescent color options, etc, but is only 3 watts with a 3 inch speaker. Without hearing it, I can’t imagine that would put out much bass. So I have to assume this amp is a better value.I’m not disappointed with my purchase. It is what it is.
