Micro Amps

I just bought an Orange Micro Crush micro amp. This thing sounds great for 3 amps and a 4" speaker. It has great tone for it's size. It has gain and tone but no delay or reverb. I don't want to have to use pedals with it cause then I'm getting away from the portability.

Do any of you use a micro amp? Is there one with a delay or reverb for under a hundred bucks?

is it a micro combo amp? or one of those "lunchbox" amplifiers that still requires an external speaker?

oh dur you are talking about portability so i'm assuming it's a combo amp. and i don't know how to delete a post so.....

It's a micro combo amp. It was 59 bucks. I tested a Vox mini 3 today and it sounds even beter with a bunch of effects. It's 99 buck though. I'm thinkin of getting the Vox.

I was just checkin to see if anyone else uses these things and what they thought.

my friend has one of the mini vox combos. he says its pretty good, especially for long trips in the car.

Whatever happened to the pignose mini amps.

@nullnaught....take a look

PIGNOSE

thanks moshzilla

I want to use it on my patio or even in the living room. I have kids and not a lot of room. I play my electric mostly on my computer with headphones. But the whole set up is a pain. I would like to just plug in an jam. I'm gonna try out some more tuesday. I'll let ya'll know what I end up doing.

I hear the pignose has great sound but no effects.

I'm still struggling with my decision! I added a few more to look at since my last post but now I've narrowed it down to the Roland Micro Cube, Vox mini 3, and the Fender Mustang mini.

I can't decide on these three! The differences in price are minor and not an issue. The Roland sounds like a big amp. The Fender sounds great with a ton of features and even downloadable sounds. The Vox just sounds the warmest.

I guess I could buy any of them and be happy but which one would you buy and why?

I picked up the Mustang Mini last week. I brought it to my little brothers house yesterday who plays drums and we had a jam session. Yes, this little thing is loud and full enough to play with drums! I only had it up to 5 or 6. I know it's not a full size amp and i won't be using it at any gigs or anything but it's amazing for the size!

I'm all for the mini's. I own a Roland Cube 25 and it's all I need. In fact I just traded my 100watt Carvin for a Roland Synth. I never got to crank that amp past ONE. Just don't need 100 watts for nothing these days.

That's true GS. I never seem to be able to get out much these days and when I do it's usually just a little jam session among family and friends. My older brother was so impressed he went and bought the Fender Mustang II. It's got a 12" speaker and 40 watts. I just may bring the mini back and get one of these. I bought the mini because of the battery thing but I just don't see myself ever using it at the beach or a park. Maybe I'll get both!

Well, I liked the Mustang Mini so much that I upgraded to the Mustang I! It's 20 watts with a 8" speaker and all the same effects plus a little more. It's actually 20 buck cheaper than the mini. The mini is more because of the battery option which I've found I won't ever really use.

The cool thing about these little amps is that they also have a USB out so I can use it as an audio interface. It come with Fender Fuse software which enables me to control it from from my Mac. There's a ton of additional amps and sounds I can download to my computer or the amp itself. I love technology!

Line 6 Micro Spider for that real, REAL high gain with the addition of the deoctave mixed in there...on the amp it's known as "Insane"...& it is...
