Advantages: Very small, portable, light, loud for the size, long battery life

Disadvantages: Doesn't compete with drum kit? Hmm...

This is a great little AMP, really is something.
It measures just (H) 25CM (W) 13CM and (D) 6.5CM. You can take this around anywhere!
Although it is so small, it actually puts out a fairly high volume, on just s 9V battery (somehow). Now, obviously it's not going to compete with a drum kit! But it certainly is loud enough for practising before going on stage, or in a class room, or just out on the street if you want to irritate people by consistanly playing the Nokia tune on your guitar!
Being a Marshall, it actually gives you a fair sound quality, and even a bit of that marshall tone. Although nothing compared to a full 30W Marshall amp, it certainly isn't bad!
You have a input socket and 9V input if you want it to be powered by mains to the left side, and a output socket to the right. There are 4 controls and a little LED light on the front. From the left, is Gain, Volume, Tone, then ON/OFF switch, with a power LED to the far right, to indicate power on. This also dims if you put it on too loud.
On the back, you have a small stand, to keep the amp up, which is somewhat helpful, and at the bottem back of the device is the 9V battery holder.
On the top there is a completely pointless fake handle, have no idea what the point in this is...

Overall, a pretty good portable amp. If you're looking for a good portable amp, which costs near to nothing, this is perfect!

Summary: Great amp, great for travelling around or for students doing music courses etc.
