Monoprice 611502 Mini Headphone Amplifier for Guitar,Tube Overdrive
As a musician you know you need to practice regularly to hone your skills and learn new songs. However you can’t always break out the amps and crank up the volume. For those times when quiet is required you can both practice and hear the amplified output from your instrument using this Mini Headphone Amplifier for Guitar from Monoprice! This amplifier is designed to provide amplification to the output of instrument level devices such as electric guitars and bass guitars. It features a 1/4″ TS plug which plugs directly into your instrument’s output. It is powered by two AAA batteries (not included) and has a 3.5mm TRS output for listening with headphones. An additional 3.5mm TRS auxillary input is provided for connecting another audio source such as an mp3 player. The audio from the Aux jack is mixed with the audio from the guitar so you can play along to an existing recording. This amplifier is produces a “Tube Overdrive” sound with distortion and delay reminiscent of Classic Rock performances. The amplifier includes analog Gain Tone and Volume controls. Note: The distortion effect that this amplifier produces means that there will necessarily be some background hiss/noise even at normal volume levels. If you listen to the amplifier without it being plugged into a guitar the noise level can be loud and pronounced. However when it is plugged into a guitar the signal returns to a desirable noise level for playing.

Not a bad investment if youâre looking for an inexpensive way to get some distortion out of your guitar without being loud, this is a good way to go. Itâs far from perfect, but for under twelve bucks, itâs not a waste of money.Clean – sounds like it has a slight chorus effect all the time. The clean is clean, but chorused.Dirt – although itâs distortion, itâs a very thin sounding distortion. It sounds almost exactly like and Orange Micro Terror, when using the headphone out.When you use this,…
Can’t be beat for the Price and sound quality For around $11.00 you can’t beat the sound. I have purchased a couple other of these devices of a more famous brand name and to me, the Monoprice sounds much better. I am enjoying practicing with it when it is not feasible to use my tube amps. I wish it has a little reverb, but overall it is a very good over driven sound. If you are looking for a Metal type distortion, this is not your headphone amp. It does produce that over-driven clean sound that breaks up nicely when you turn up the…
Cool!
