Na een paar keer gebruiken treedt er een constant een krakend geluid als je een snaar speelt en na de eerste keer opladen werkt het helemaal niet meer.

Good clear sound with an affordable price ...will review after 5 months

I've been playing guitar and off for about 10 years and recently went through a very long "off" bout. I'm realizing how much playing guitar kept my mental health stable so I've been trying to get back into it.I live with my aging parents, who are prone to random naps or TV binges. They're pretty tolerant of me firing up one of my loud amps so long as the amps stay in the basement and I don't crank them. During their TV binges, I can fire up one of my practice amps if they're blasting the TV's volume, since my practice amps can't get loud enough for them to hear over the TV. But for nap times.... I have to keep the guitars in their cases. So I decided to get a couple of headphone amps: This Sonicake and another one from Valeton.I have a Valeton TAR 20g guitar amp which is currently my favorite all 'round amp, so I really expected to prefer the Valeton headphone amp over this Sonicake unit. It is with mild surprise that I write that I actually find myself reaching for this Sonicake amp for muted playing sessions!As some readers will likely guess from reading thus far, I have G.A.S. , or Gear Acquisition Syndrome. I have many guitars, many amps and have owned many more in the past. What's my point here, you might ask?My point is that I've found that I play best- and most, with simple gear. The amp with one channel and a few knobs. The guitar that I haven't modded with pickup-altering configurations. When I play my modded guitars, my feature laden amps, and/or hook up some effects pedals, I spend a lot of time toying with my gear, and I never further my guitar skills.This nuance is one of two reasons why I favor this Sonicake amp. It's very straightforward to use, and while it's very lacking in features compared to the Valeton, that means I spend more time playing my guitars! Yes, this amp does have a couple of effects, but they can only be switched on or off; there are no controls to adjust them in any way. Plus, this amp costs a fair amount less than the Valeton as well.The second reason I favor this amp is simple yet complex: Tone. While I have and enjoy a few very nice tube amplifiers, I'm not a tube snob (The Valeton TAR 20g is solid state, case in point) but I expect good tone from my gear. I don't think I set the bar high here; I've got a 10 watt Donner guitar amp that I think sounds fine and am just as willing to play that little amp as I am hooking up my mighty Hughes and Kettner 36 watt Tubemeister and feeling like I might level the house with it's volume.Unlike many guitarists, I am a stickler for clean tone. It is my belief and experience thus far that it's far easier to overdrive/distort amps than it is to clean them up, so I strongly prefer amps that perform well with clean tones. And this Sonicake does just that. No, it's definitely not Fender clean, but given it's size, and compared to the sorry excuse the Valeton headphone amp has as a clean channel, I find the clean tones this amp puts out agreeable. And true to my statement, rolling up the gain knob easily pulls you into overdrive tone territory. The amp does start to "fart" when you max the gain, but for one, that's just my ears hearing that, and two, this amp is meant for clean and slightly overdriven tone, so maxing out the gain is using it out of intended context.In closing, I will cover two gripes I have about this amp:1. It uses a USB Micro jack. WHY? Sorry to sound snobby, but I find USB type C plugs and jacks to be so much more reliable. Please update your headphone amps to use USB type C jacks, SONICAKE!!2. The "thumbwheel" controls on this amp are quite irritating to use when this amp is plugged in to any of my guitars. At first, I reasoned that the thumbwheel controls were to prevent the controls from getting moved should the amp get bumped, but the Valeton headphone amp has actual raised knobs, and they've never been moved by my accidentally bumping the amp while plugged in.All in all I'm very satisfied with this amp, and unlike many of my gear purchases, it is conducive to my playing my guitar instead of just fiddling with gear.

Para músicos amateur que no necesitan in amplificador grande o no tienen espacio para ello.

So silly me, I thought that because I was an adult that owned my own home and could play my guitar and bass through my regular amps whenever I wanted.Turns out that when the wife is cranky and I am working on the same riff for an hour straight I am in-fact not allowed to use my big amps.So since I have been really happy with the pedals I have purchased from Sonicake I decided to check out their headphone amp for use when the wife says no to the big amps.I have tested the headphone amp in a Peavey G-90, Predator, Patriot, and Generation EXP as well as a Peavey Fury Bass, and a Cort Curbow Retro 4 (active) Bass. This little amp worked out well in all of them.The reverb is nicely there, It is not overpowering, but not anemic sounding either. The volume gets loud enough through headphones, as well as plugged into a small set of non-powered headphone jack speakers. The gain gives you a little punch but stops short of distortion. The amp arrived with a full charge, and through several hours of testing the battery lights still have not moved from the 4 full bars.There is some slight hum, which I found was almost completely reduced by turning the amp up and then using the volume knob on the guitar instead. The hum was more noticeable with single coil pickups but that is to be expected.The construction is plastic, and the switches and knobs are small, but it's a $30 headphone amp, it's not a half stack. Be nice to your gear and don't come at it like Godzilla and it should be plenty durable. It will have a space in my gear for testing craigslist guitar purchases, for going camping, and for keeping the wife happy when she says I'm being too loud. :(There is only one negative that i found and that was that it would not fit into my wife's 2006 lefty MIM Strat. The angle of the jack plate in that guitar seemed to start putting upward pressure on the amp before it fully seated. There was however no problem using it in my 1994 Peavey Predator which is a strat type guitar. I do not have a another Fender Strat to test so I can not say if it is a Fender issue or if it is an issue only related to her particular guitar.In any case if you have been told to quiet down based on my experience I think this is a good option and I would buy it again.

Ottimo per studio, prodotto ultraportatile, la carica tiene abbastanza, suona decentemente e ad un prezzo ridicolo!! A questo prezzo direi che è decisamente ottimo, e ve lo dice uno che usa ampli valvolari, ha provato tutti i vari plug-in per chitarra in commercio e che produce musica. Il suo lavoro lo fa, ovvio che non hai i plug in del Brainworx in cuffia, ma non ha latenza, è sensibile al tocco. Il suono è un crunch medioso, forse troppo, penso che il tono se avesse agito sui medi sarebbe stato molto meglio ma va bene così. E' giusto quella leggera distorsione che ti da un po' di difficolta sugli assoli, ma gli accordi li tiene, e per lo studio è un fattore molto buono.

Una ventina di euro di puro godimento!!! Sei amante delle distorsioni pesanti? Hai bisogno di esercitarti/studiare fuori, all'aperto, in viaggio o comunque nn rompere le palle a nessuno? Nessun problema, collega questa bestia alla chitarra, collega il cavo dallo smartphone al microamp (in dotazione), collega le tue cuffie e dosa con cura volume e gain (ne ha quanto ne vuoi) e scatenati!! Fantastico!!! Il reverbero nn mi piace, ma nn mi frega nulla, tutto il resto va oltre le mie più rosee attese ed attenzione!!! È ricaricabile con usb, sempre con il cavo in dotazione, basta infilarlo in un comune caricabatterie x smartphone. La felicità con un biglietto blu e qualche monetina...che vuoi di più!!!

The Soncake headphone amp is a great item to have in your guitar case. So many times at a gig I try to find a quiet corner to practice at, only to find I can't hear myself. Now with The Sonicake headphone amp, I can practice anywhere. The Sonicake has a rechargeable battery that you can recharge with the USB cable provided. When charged it lasts about 5 hours. The volume will get loud and precise. The tone control over halfway up will be a little shrill for most. The gain I would equate to a tube screamer in front of a Fender. The gain works well for blues,jazz and lite rock. Those looking for more saturation will be disappointed. This is not a metal or heavy rock distortion. That being said the Sonicakecake headphone amp does give you a warm and colourful sound. I first used a Strat and found myself in "Stevie Ray Vaughn" land all day. My Les Paul took on an " Allman Bros." Tone. The Sonicake does come with reverb, although it is not adjustable. The reverb reminds of a "Surf Guitar" sound. Like a Fender Twin with the reverb on 10 or 11. The Sonicake says it also has chorus, but I could not detect any. There also is no switch for chorus. The Sonicake comes with a USB cable, an adapter so you can have two headphone outs or two aux in. The aux in works perfectly for playing along or learning new songs. If you take the the time to adjust the volume on The Sonicake and the media your putting in the aux in, it sounds great!! The price for the Sonicake is respectable, compared to other units with less features.
