Fluid Audio Strum Buddy- 6W Guitar Amplifier

I'm actually fairly impressed with it. Certainly the design could use an update to add control of the levels of the effects, but I knew there wouldn't be before purchase and still bought it.It's not loud....not even slightly, but the sound quality is good and I have a very specific purpose for it. I have a major gig coming up and I hate using PA systems. It's a quiet audience as it's basically more art than music, but the guitar I want to use is not greatly loud (cigar box tenor guitar). This will very slightly increase the volume of it, and it should be enough to carry the soundFor it's actual purpose (travel practice amp) this will definitely do the job, and it will be a great conversation piece. I have not had any issues with unexpected background noise, it's going to have a negligible amount as it's not a top of the range amp and is in a tiny form factor that has to be light.I like it, it's definitely something that should exist and this is a decent execution of the concept

Es una buena opción si no eres muy exigente con el volumen y lo que necesitas es poder escuchar tu guitarra en casa sin necesidad de molestar o de estar anclado a un amplificador. En cuanto a los efectos, están muy bien logrados. Particularmente siempre uso el reverb y lo uso con una guitarra Semihollow para tocar jazz y el resultado es muy bueno. La batería me está durando muchísimo incluso más de lo que marca las especificaciones del producto.

I brought this to add reverb and chorus to an acoustic guitar. It works from the guitars pickup system. Plug it in and turn volume low so you can still hear the acoustic guitar. Sounds great.

I'm seeing a lot of negative reviews by people who are using this product on acoustic electric guitars. I can understand their frustration, but they shouldn't lower the rating of a pretty good product because they are not using it for what it was intended. Look, an acoustic has its "built in" amplifier-in fact, IT IS its own amplifier. I get that it's not always as loud as we want it to be, but did you really think this little thing was going to be any louder?!? If you want to use this on an ELECTRIC guitar, IGNORE those negative reviews!Okay, that's off my chest. Now for how I found this little things works IN ITS INTENDED ROLE. (Upfront, I've used it on strats and teles). The short answer: pretty good! It's about as loud as a medium sized acoustic clean, and a little louder than an acoustic distorted. The tone is great for clean-ish leads, ok for overdriven stuff, and I can dial in a decent acoustic-like sound which is convenient for when I want to shift between acoustic and electric but can only bring one guitar. The chorus gives a neat 12 string effect and the reverb is not bad. It almost has a slap back delay sound, which is great for me since I play a lot of country.For the cons: one of the FEW negative reviews that came from an electric guitarist mentioned that it's hard to get clean tones at higher volumes from humbucker pick ups. I find that pretty believable, although as I have said it's fine with fender style single coils. Even so, it just seems like a volume control, or perhaps a gain, wouldn't be that tough to add on and would improve the product a great deal. There is a little hiss with the overdriven on but it's not noticeable while your playing and if your jamming with someone their accompaniment would cover it up.Let's face it, this was designed for a specific purpose: to let you play your electric guitar in situations where you 1. want it to be heard, and 2. don't need it to sound perfect (at least not enough to haul in a mini amp). So in other words, you want to play and sing with friends on the living room couch or jam with an acoustic player around the backyard firepit. If you don't need other people to hear you, the vox amplug sounds much better. If you're putting on a serious performance, you're going to need a real amp. For the above situations, it works perfectly. The tone is not bad at all and the volume range is good. It lets you play your electric with the same freedom-and limitations-as your acoustic.But please, if you got it to make an ACOUSTIC guitar louder than it already is. DON'T BLAME THE PRODUCT. That's not what its for.

I wanted something portable and rechargeable for my Hofner Shorty and this checks all the boxes. Because my Shorty's so small, I have to put the speaker on the back of the guitar. It sounds great and is perfectly acceptable for my needs. There is no volume control and to turn it off/on, you unplug it. I absolutely recommend it.
