Don't really see the point of them. It might have been the mic used, but it managed to sound worse than my MG15!

I looked at buying one but bought a vox 1watt with beats $120. I have found it useful traveling.

You'd be better off with a Vox Amplug.

I have a couple of the normal versions of this, very nice and the will run a 2 x 12 or a 4 x 12 and will suprise you how loud they can run a cab like that...

skip to the 2nd half of the vid when he plugs into his 1 12... playing is not too hot but you can hear what it is capable when you put it into a good speaker...

This is the high gain model into a cab, much better vid but shorter..

I have put two of them of effects pedals as well as the GT8 and its pretty amazing, stereo setup for not much..

They look so cute those things - great for chucking the backpack for roadtrips I bet.

I have a Fender Mini Tonemaster which was a bargain trademe purchase, I'm not very impressed by it, it's more of a novelty item tbh. I have heard very good things about the Vox amplugs though
