    This is a perfect little practice amp to keep on my coffee table. It's powerful enough for my needs — just practicing on my couch — and the sound quality is surprisingly good for such a small amp. The app has a ton of features that I've had fun playing with, but I'm mostly using the pre-sets and have no complaints. I haven't played more than an hour or so at a time, but the battery life has been fine — I just plug in the charger occasionally when I think about it. This was an impulse buy, but I'm getting a lot of use out of it and I'm glad I got it.

  • Wow I absolutely love this powerful little guy. Bad Horsey!

    I practice daily on my couch throughout the day. For 2 yrs I used a Spark Go which has also been amazing. However the Mini was the upgrade I needed without knowing I needed it. The sound is much improved from the Go and I just dig the extra power. Bravo again Positive Grid

    This little amp packs a big punch. The connectivity to the app is super easy and intuitive. The preset configurations from Steve Vai are versatile and there and several additional options and customization available. The included cable is great quality as well. Love this amp.
