RedHotChiliPepper - 10/24/2007 at 04:56 So I want to bring my guitar to my dorm next semester, but I'd need a mini
amp so as not to distress my room mate and the rest of the people in my
hall. Any suggestions for a mini amp that would do the job?
brian - 10/24/2007 at 14:28The marshall or dean markley mini amps are cool and actually sound pretty
good.
brian - 10/24/2007 at 19:29Oh don't forget about the pignose mini amps
Telefreak - 10/25/2007 at 01:05And don't forget smokey amps
Blueheart - 11/4/2007 at 15:03 ;) Hi, I've got a Roland Micro Cube and it's perfect for your dorm room.
It has several different amp models as well as effects like delay, reverb,
phaser and flange. Plus it has a CD input for playing along with your
favorite track as well as a headphone jack for quiet time. But this thing
rocks, too - plenty loud when you need it!. And it'll run off batteries -
very portable.
Vox makes a similar item although I haven't tried it, called the DA-5. It
also has amp models and effects, plus more power. Good Luck!
thesaintjoseph - 12/14/2007 at 00:42I use 2 have the marshall (white) lead 12 micro stack when I was a kid and
I loved it for not waking up my parents. It has a growl. fun 2 play and way
better than a peavey or something like that.(Ive never heard the roland
though)

Instead of an amp why not just get a rockman or something and use
headphones.

Eli_the_Iceman - 1/10/2008 at 04:48Hmm ... probably your best bet is to get something w/ a headphone out jack
... to keep the peace.
I rather see you NOT spend $$ on something that is going to be so small
that it will be of no use except in a small dorm room.
Those type of small amps ususally sound crappy anyway, so just find
something that's portable, can be used for small gigs (maybe w/ a direct
out) and does have the headphone jack.
Just my humble opinion. I've been there and have spent $$ on what you want
... it's not money well spent.
RedHotChiliPepper - 1/10/2008 at 06:16I ended up getting a Danelectro Honeytone. It was thirty bucks at my local
music store and has a headphone input jack. With regard to the above post,
I definitely agree with you, but since I have to fly from school back home,
it isn't convenient to have an amp that's even a moderate size. I
appreciate everyone's input!

Eli_the_Iceman - 1/10/2008 at 06:46Nice choice ... the Honeytone. I can see your reasoning, being that you
have to take to the skies w/ the little bugger.
ages - 9/26/2008 at 09:37About the size of a cigarette pack, amazingly it can drive a 4 x 12
cabinet. (We didn't believe it either, so we tried it. And, sure enough,
through the magic of technology, it was actually loud and sounded great,
though the battery didn't hold out long.) It responds to the volume knob on
your guitar and generates a sweet and convincing tube amp overdrive when
cranked. It has its own built-in speaker. It can also be used on the input
of another amp as a fuzz box.
