JOYO 10W Mini Bass Amp Portable Guitar Amplifier Combo Practice for Bassist Drive Gain Tone Cord & Battery Powered Dual Channel (MA-10B)

Returning to playing after about 30 years of not touching a bass and now married and more aware of the neighbours - this amp is perfect - it’s loud enough to play along with your favourite tunes but won’t rattle the windows or disturb anyone in the next room if you take care of the volume - the gain and tone actually work - it’s an amazing deal - £36 ? - no brainer

I have several guitar and bass amplifiers, but this one is getting more use than any of them. I play bass with a ukulele band and find this tiny amp quite adequate for small gigs and practice sessions with around 30 uke players. There is not much variety of tone available however, but it's ok.The main problem is that there is annoying mains hum when using the mains adaptor. This does not occur when running from the batteries.I have tried using other power supplies and have the same problem. It appears to be a design faultHowever, for the money paid I can overlook this problem (just).The case is cheap plastic and it looks like a toaster, but it works

So if you're looking at this product the chances are you're wanting to be able to have a little amp to practice bass at home, and ideally you wouldn't spend a fortune. So I'll get to the point:1. Does it sound good? Yes - actually the tone is great, I do not use the drive channel as that's not my thing personally. However the clean channel really sounds like my bass :)2. How loud is it? Loud enough to not be able to hear your bass acoustically BUT (and this is a good thing) you need to be close to the amp and it needs to be facing you really. This means you can play at what seems like a decent volume, without annoying anyone ele (mostly)I crank the volume to full, then add gain about half way - all good.3. Does it run ok on batteries? Yes - in fact that is the only way I'm using it. I have good quality (2300ma) re-chargeable batteries and it works and sounds great.4. Is it worth it? Yes with a but. It really depends on what your need is. If this is to be your amp and you hope to gig in pubs etc, then this is NOT the product for you.However, if you are looking for something JUST to use around the house, get a decent tone and not make everyone around you crazy, then YES - this is perfect.It's crazy that we've gotten to a point with technology that something so small and cheap can perform so well.5 stars from me (for the very specific use case of just around the house)

Having previously tried very small practice amps (by that, I mean amps below 25w), I really didn't expect much from this JOYO. I needed a physically small amp to fit in a particular place, but with a sound which was at least acceptable. This was primarily to put my acoustic bass through.I was seriously impressed with this little amp. The sound is clean, and that is exactly the sound I was looking for. One of the other small amps I had previously tried was the Vox 10w. Despite the more 'professional-looking' build, etc., the sound was distorted and awful.At this price-point, the JOYO is a keeper (despite its looks).

As title says, I can't get this ap to work on battery power. I've tried high powered, rechargeable, standard AA batteries. Nothing will make this amp turn on. Alas I only tested it on batteries after a few months, so too late to return.Works well enough on mains power. Not very loud when playing bass through it. But OK for home practice. Useful that it has a aux input socket so can plug in backing tracks or use it as a speaker.

Son loves this. Small enough to be portable but still powerful. Mains or battery powered. Looks cool

The amp is a nice looking thing, compact and easy to use. It's a lot lighter than I imagined so the build quality remains too be seen.We found that with the gain on low, the master volume isn't really loud enough to hear the bass guitar enough so we have to have the gain to about half before the main volume feels loud enough. As such if you're looking for a clean sound that you can hear well this might not be for you as you will need to have high gain to get any decent level of volume.

Great little bass ukulele amp. So powerful for its size I even take it to club. My husband bought one to play his ukulele through as it sounds better than the Joyo guitar amplifier.
