I bought one these, had a little trouble at first figuring out the 3 volume knobs, but once I did there great, the guitar channel is 3-4 dbs. lower than the microphone channel but works out fine if you want to really make it sound better than it already does if you guitar does have a pre amp. Buy a preamp pedal. Wow !

Like a little concert in my own room all to myself, or you can share with others. It sounds amazing, and has all that I need for my purposes. Great sound. Forgive my amateur playing, I'm still learning, but this sounds really good and no complaints. I hooked it up with some reverb and played a song, had some settings on my guitar changed and it sounds lovely.

This was a gift for my wife which she is a musician and she travels a lot and need it a AMP speaker that doesn’t require to plug it to an outlet in case if she is in spot that doesn’t have one, this is the one! This is a rechargeable and works way better for her when she is on the go. Sounds and quality amazing, don't now how long it last the battery but is Worth the price!

Muy buena compra, muy recomendado.

I’ve been living on the road as a trucker for some years now and this is easily one of the best travel boxes I’ve ever owned. Great volume for its size and size can keep a guitar, bass, and keyboard plugged in together. Usb-C rechargeable makes it awesome💣👊🏾

I was pleasantly surprised when I hooked this little wonder up to my acoustic Dobro Banjo hybrid! It had nice clean output, excellent reverb and a nice solid feel to the unit itself. This will be an excellent unit to use as either a practice amp or for small room/hall shows… amazing quality and sound for an inexpensive . price! Only negative is that on higher reverb setting, it clips the higher frequencies slightly… not a major issue in my opinion.

I got this amp for my electric guitar and it produces really clear sound. I also really like how it has bluetooth connection. I can connect my phone to it to play music when I'm not using it for my guitar. The strap that it comes with makes it easy to carry.

I am an amateur beginner and have a pretty basic electric guitar that I got because I wanted to practice without making much noise. I also have an acoustic/electric guitar, so I wanted an amp that could handle both. This amp fits the bill perfectly. It is very compact, relatively powerful, and has two inputs, one for each guitar type. There is a distortion effect for the electric guitar and a reverb effect for the acoustic guitar, and both work really well. There is an aux input that could be used with an mp3 player or a mic, but I haven't tried that feature yet. You can also use this amp as a Bluetooth speaker. All that in a cool, retro-looking package. The most interesting feature to me is that this amp is rechargeable. I charged it once when I first got it, and it really lasted a while. The amp is loud enough for my small apartment, anything louder would get me in trouble with my neighbors. The sound quality and the sound tone are pleasing for an amp in this price range. Overall, I am very happy with it and would recommend it!

This little amp really surprised me. It packs a lot of punch into a small package. It can get pretty loud, for certain, but volume isn't everything. It's the tone that blew me away. For a small amp, it produces a genuinely pleasing guitar tone, with a character all its own. I simply didn't expect that.
The amp features three separate channels, each with its own volume control: Input 1, Input 2, and a Bluetooth/Auxiliary channel.
Input 1 accepts a 1/4" instrument cable and features EQ (bass and treble). It also offers a distortion button with gain control. The distortion effect sounds more like a classic fuzz pedal to me (not that this is a bad thing). It's actually pretty good, and it sounds amazing with a wah pedal. When played clean (no distortion) the amp has a tendency to break in a very pleasing, musical way. It's not 100% clean. It's got a little grit to it, which I think is great. The best part is it doesn't sound tinny or digital. It sounds like a good quality amp is supposed to sound like, except in miniature form. The sound isn't huge (how could it be?) but it's got character and depth. Pedals sound good through the amp, and that's my preferred way of playing.
Input 2 is much the same regarding sound quality. But instead of distortion it has a reverb effect. The reverb is just "okay," trying to emulate classic spring reverb. It has only one control, increasing or decreasing the intensity of the effect. There are no EQ controls for Input 2. I find myself using Input 1 most often, but it's nice to have a second channel.
The Bluetooth/Aux channel has a button for activating Bluetooth, a 1/8" stereo jack, and a volume knob. This allows you to play music from your phone, tablet, or other device and play it through the amp. This could be used to play backing tracks. Music through the amp sounds okay. It's not bad, but it's a small speaker and sounds like a small speaker. The amp is more designed for playing guitar, and it's really good at that. It's not so great for just listening to music. But it's good for practicing with tracks.
This amp is wireless and rechargeable. The battery performance is outstanding. I've been playing around with this amp for about a month, always wireless, and I rarely need to charge it. I've charged it maybe twice. I think that's amazing. The portability makes it easy to carry this around and practice almost anywhere. I often use wireless dongles to plug in my guitar, as well, so it's completely wireless. This isn't the best amp in my collection, but it's the one that gets used the most because it's so easy. It's always in the right place. There's something to be said for that.
Now for a reality check. No matter how good the tone, this is a tiny little amp. It is quite loud for a tiny amp, but don't expect to go out playing gigs with it. It's a great practice amp and a lot of fun. Take it for what it is. It's also not packed with features. Aside from the distortion and reverb, it has no effects. I like the Bluetooth functionality but I'm not sure how useful it will really be. I feel like this amp is a bit out of its league, trying to compete with some of the bigger names. But if all you really need is a fun little practice amp with decent tone and great portability...this is a solid choice.

I got this as a gift for my boyfriend. He has a really nice acoustic electric guitar. We’ve been wanting to take it camping with us, but his amp could only be plugged in. I saw this, and took a chance.
This lil guy is the size of a lunchbox, but packs a powerful punch! He usually keeps it dialed down a bit, so there’s no discernible hiss at reasonable volumes.
It’s great to take camping or to just have a solo jam session.
Overall, I am very happy and impressed with this little amp.
Hope you found my comments and photos helpful.

There are a lot of things to like about this amp:
1) Super portable. Once the battery is charged, you can take this amp pretty much anywhere you want. Camping, out on the deck, block party - all of the above are great options for this
2) Two channels - allows a dedicated clean channel for acoustic guitars and a dual clean/gain channel for lead
3) Bluetooth connectivity - you can use this as a basic portable speaker and connect any BT player to it.
On the downsides, the sound quality coming out of this amp matches the size and expectation of the product. I didn’t expect this to hit super hard; but it does do the job alright. At its loudest, there is no feedback but there is a lot of treble and mid even with both dialed all the way back
All in all, I would consider this a great practice amp or campfire amp, but not much more than that.

The portability afforded by the built-in battery cannot be overstated. I love mine.
I have been using this practice guitar amp in conjunction with a Fender Mustang Micro, and I love the convenience and versatility. I often add a looper pedal and a wireless guitar unit to this combination - connecting them all as shown in the uploaded photo.
The easiest way to connect a Mustang Micro to this guitar amp would be to use the 3.5mm AUX TRS input jack, as shown, which also has a separate knob to control its volume (aside from the master volume) for added convenience. (It's less fiddly to to adjust volume using the amp's volume knob, than to do so with the knob on Mustang Micro. I lose the BT feature of this guitar amp by using the AUX input, but I could still use Mustang Micro's BT.)
When I want to be totally cordless, I replace the looper pedal (which requires a 9V power) with basically any effect pedal with a true-bypass, using the pedal merely as a passive connector between the guitar and Mustang Micro (via a guitar cable or a pair of wireless guitar units).
(I think it would have been even better if the amp had a 9V DC output for guitar effect pedals.)
Gear Report
Whew... where to start?
I was initially rather impressed with how "big" the sound from this small, battery powered amp was.
I tried a range of guitar types through it and all sounded ok through the electric guitar circuit with Distortion turned off and the Bass and Treble set at the mid point.
The amount of volume that I got from this amp is truly impressive. And it sounded ok.
Then I got my acoustic electric and plugged it in throught the Acoustic circuit and was impressed with how full it sounded. The reverb goes from barely noticeable to pretty intense, which gives me a lot of range to play with. Again... sounded Ok to me.
But then I moved to the next step and hooked the output of my A/B switch to this, and to an Orange Micro Terror going to a Peavey 4x12 cabinet.
I know... that isn't remotely a fair comparisson. The 20 watt Orange amp vs the 15 watt CoolMusic amp isn't that far off. But comparing the little 4.5" built-in speaker of the CoolMusic combo amp vs a Peavey XXL 4x12" speaker cabinet was just a bad idea. The CoolMusic combo amp sounds like a muffled lunchbox in comparisson. The sheer volume that the tiny CoolMusic amp can pump out is impressive. However, it sounds muddy at any volume. There is no articulation of notes with this amp.
Distortion
Sounded pretty hollow and tinny. Not a fan.
Reverb
Why is this only available on the mic/acoustic circuit?
So, as I'm typing this I wondered if the DI out on the back would work as a speaker out to drive a 4x12. That way I could tell if the muffled sounding audio is just from the little 4.5" speaker or also from the amp circuit. But the manual says it is just a DI out at over 400 ohms. So, not suitable for my 16 Ohms speakers.
Honestly, the audio quality is poor enough in comparison to every other amp that I have, including the Donner DA-30 and Donner Cyclops (also a tiny amp), that I didn't bother testing the bluetooth input. I initially had mixed feelings. But the more I play with this (I just stopped writing and hooked it up for another 15 min of playing), the more I think CoolMusic missed the mark on this one. It just sounds way too muffled.

Well, this is clearly a company from China (warranty card backside is in Chinese); I wonder why they always make the color in orange.
I like these amps because I don't want to be chained to an outlet and this can be portable/good for travel.
You can add distortion, reverb, control bass/treble with the knobs.
Since it has bluetooth, this can double as regular speakers as well.
This also recharges with the common modern USB-C connection.
For a beginner, I think this perfectly fine.
