It's a novelty item I keep on my desktop. I can actually play my guitar through it, but it doesn't produce "good" tone. However, it does produce a tone that sounds 'cheap' but not horrible if you make a little effort to 'dial in' the best sound you can get working with what you've got. This is not a product for gigging or recording. It is what it is.

I use it as a little fuzz box when I want to mess around. The Main thing I like about it is you don't have to plug it in, it takes a 9v battery and it has a headphone plug. So you can literally play it anywhere, even in your car parked somewhere or at a picnic in the park or on your neighbors porch at 3am (lol not really though).It's obviously not going to be astonishing, none of any little mini amps are, afterall it's a little plastic speaker box just like all the rest of them. But I've played it to a chime thru my single coils and a good fuzzy tone too. I put my wah thru it, it'll take pedals but the dynamics aren't all there, it will be lacking in some range of depth. You put it on the wrong setting and it'll sound bad and brittle, just like any amp. You gotta ... MoreI use it as a little fuzz box when I want to mess around.

If you have a quality instrument and know how to play it, you can make this thing sound good.

This is a great guitar amplifier for the price. It would be even better if it had Reverb functionality and a Line Out option that wasn't necessarily only for MP3, but for the price it's a pretty good deal. I'd recommend it for both beginners as well as more experienced guitarists who just need something small and compact for practice purposes especially given that it does have an output jack for headphones (and it accepts the standard 1/4" input plug). Just like the good ole days did.
