I have a 1x12 80W celestion sitting in my room and I really wanted to know how it sounded but I’m not the richest fella out there so I got this to try out.
A fender? Questionable. If you told me it was uniquely voiced I’d believe that more. It’s not like you’re getting a boutique tube amp but you’re not paying for that. It’s responsive, it’s nicely voiced overall and it’s absolutely tiny. If you’re on the road with a tube amp and it pops, you could literally just take this out of your pocket and plug it in, from your pedalboard no less. It’s that small.
And an effects loop, aux in and headphone out on top? Wow, Hotone have put quite a few competitors to shame with these. Now if only they made a larger version, with a bit more power…
