Guitar Headphone Amp Mini Guitar Headphone Amplifier US Classic Rechargeable Plug-in Pocket Bedroom Overdrive Reverb Effects

So silly me, I thought that because I was an adult that owned my own home and could play my guitar and bass through my regular amps whenever I wanted. Turns out that when the wife is cranky and I am working on the same riff for an hour straight I am in-fact not allowed to use my big amps. So since I have been really happy with the pedals I have purchased from Sonicake I decided to check out their headphone amp for use when the wife says no to the big amps. I have tested the headphone amp in a Peavey G-90, Predator, Patriot, and Generation EXP as well as a Peavey Fury Bass, and a Cort Curbow Retro 4 (active) Bass. This little amp worked out well in all of them. The reverb is nicely there, It is not overpowering, but not anemic sounding either. The volume gets loud enough through headphones, as well as plugged into a small set of non-powered headphone jack speakers. The gain gives you a little punch but stops short of distortion. The amp arrived with a full charge, and through several hours of testing the battery lights still have not moved from the 4 full bars. There is some slight hum, which I found was almost completely reduced by turning the amp up and then using the volume knob on the guitar instead. The hum was more noticeable with single coil pickups but that is to be expected. The construction is plastic, and the switches and knobs are small, but it's a $30 headphone amp, it's not a half stack. Be nice to your gear and don't come at it like Godzilla and it should be plenty durable. It will have a space in my gear for testing craigslist guitar purchases, for going camping, and for keeping the wife happy when she says I'm being too loud. :( There is only one negative that i found and that was that it would not fit into my wife's 2006 lefty MIM Strat. The angle of the jack plate in that guitar seemed to start putting upward pressure on the amp before it fully seated. There was however no problem using it in my 1994 Peavey Predator which is a strat type guitar. I do not have a another Fender Strat to test so I can not say if it is a Fender issue or if it is an issue only related to her particular guitar. In any case if you have been told to quiet down based on my experience I think this is a good option and I would buy it again.

The Soncake headphone amp is a great item to have in your guitar case. So many times at a gig I try to find a quiet corner to practice at, only to find I can't hear myself. Now with The Sonicake headphone amp, I can practice anywhere. The Sonicake has a rechargeable battery that you can recharge with the USB cable provided. When charged it lasts about 5 hours. The volume will get loud and precise. The tone control over halfway up will be a little shrill for most. The gain I would equate to a tube screamer in front of a Fender. The gain works well for blues,jazz and lite rock. Those looking for more saturation will be disappointed. This is not a metal or heavy rock distortion. That being said the Sonicakecake headphone amp does give you a warm and colourful sound. I first used a Strat and found myself in "Stevie Ray Vaughn" land all day. My Les Paul took on an " Allman Bros." Tone. The Sonicake does come with reverb, although it is not adjustable. The reverb reminds of a "Surf Guitar" sound. Like a Fender Twin with the reverb on 10 or 11. The Sonicake says it also has chorus, but I could not detect any. There also is no switch for chorus. The Sonicake comes with a USB cable, an adapter so you can have two headphone outs or two aux in. The aux in works perfectly for playing along or learning new songs. If you take the the time to adjust the volume on The Sonicake and the media your putting in the aux in, it sounds great!! The price for the Sonicake is respectable, compared to other units with less features.

Audio quality is decent, I use it to practice without an amp and I can plug headphones into it. Pretty convenient to have.

TL;DR — Excellent pocket amp; very low noise; reverb is the icing on the cake In my line of work, I hear the term “ease of use” quite a bit. Not surprisingly, we very often like to choose the path of least resistance. I’ve found this applies to my “guitar time” as much as anything else: when I have a few minutes here and there to play, I can easily burn up time choosing pedals, futzing with settings, checking cables, etc. A pocket amp lets you cut to the chase. Plug and play — literally. I chose the US Classic based on favorable reviews — and it didn’t disappoint. The sound is respectably clear, both in terms of background noise and any undue coloring of your guitar. (There is some very soft white noise, but it’s very similar to tape hiss and I didn’t find it distracting or annoying.) Controls include Volume, Tone, Gain and FX (more on that later). I managed to dial in a very comfortable sound in 15 seconds. I then tried the FX switch. This provides a cavern-y reverb with a slight chorus blended in. Dialing the Tone wheel to almost all the way dark, setting the Gain to barely on, and the Volume to ~75%, I found myself on the High Plains in a Leone movie. Now, I love wall-of-sound shoegaze-y/drone-y/doom-y/sludge-y stuff all day long — but it’s equaled by my love of Morricone and the Spaghetti Western sound. If you dig that sound too, this little guy is a fun night in. Amazingly, the FX switch didn’t introduce any noise to the sound, and had just the right size and decay to make things dreamy without getting lost. Sure, you can turn off the FX and have a perfectly workable sound. But that switch is going to stay permanently set to On. It’s just too fun — and that’s why we’re playing these instruments, right? Now, since this is a virtually weightless pocket amp, the next step is play it while actually riding a horse…

The sound is adequate for the price , But, it slips out of my telecasters input. So that I have to duct tape it in to use it. I’m going to return it.

Never got this to work for my guitar and never got money back for it as it was to late unfortunately

this product is incredible for the price. It has a Hall Reverb sound and a Volume that gets really loud in the headphones. I tried to find a product that I could practice with in my home without bothering my neighbors and this was it!

Good clear sound with an affordable price ...will review after 5 months

Sehr gut Danke .

Doesnt work at all complete garbage

Je recommande il fonctionne super bien et produit un bon son

Hola.......necesitaba algo para tocar en casa sin tener que molestar a nadie y algo simple para cuando viene la inspiración no tener que enchufar el ampli con el jack, los pedales y demás. He encontrado este mini ampli y la verdad que con los cascos puestos suena genial, muy realista. Además que lo puedes enchufar al ordenador y grabar tu sesión. Es fácil de manejar con sus controles de volumen, tono y saturación. Tiene un efecto de reverb bastante logrado, sobre todo en la envolvente. Viene con cable para cargar, otro por si quieres tocar por encima de alguna música desde tu móvil por ejemplo y con una clavija doble por si alguien quiere escuchar lo que tocas o, para enviar la señal para grabar. Da más calidad y mejor precio que otras marcas conocidas. Creo que todo el mundo debería tener uno de estos en casa para luego darle bien con el ampli. Saludos
