    Uses a mini-usb charger, only works with headphones or earbuds, has a distortion, tone, and volume knob. Works great for jamming while trying to be quiet. Distortion and sound isn't the best, but good for the cost. It can fit on stratocasters, but it can rotate and hit the body of the guitar, just put some cushion in that one spot and you'll be all good.

    Convenient guitar headphone amp

    This is my third guitar headphone amp. And I would say it's the worst of the 3. It is very convenient to use, a big plus. But I just don't find the sound quality to be very good. It seems deficient in the highs. So its pluses are low cost, small size, and convenience. It's OK to practice with, but frankly I found the poor sound quality to be annoying. I would advise to try a different option.

    This little thing is great for anyone who kids and plays the guitar. Keeps things quiet and actually picks up really well. Turn on switch is small and the charging port is old school, would love to see future update to usb c (probably not needed). Has lasted over 4 hrs so far, have not had to recharge so it is a good battery inside of it. Fits front angle ports like strats for those who are on the fence because of that. Pick up some headphones and u will be jamming in mostly silence.

    If you are playing guitar and don’t have an amp or want to keep quiet, this thing is awesome. Don’t expect the world, this isn’t a giant amp, have realistic expectations and you won’t be disappointed.

    It's a little clunky hanging off my guitar (gotta be careful not to clip it on something) but super fun (and quiet for my wife)! Just wish I had more time to play now!

    It does what I want. I wanted something compact that allowed me to play my electric guitar through headphones without disturbing others. Sounds pretty good.

    After getting sick and tired of tripping over the amp cord, getting it wrapped around my arms/legs/torso, sitting on it, having it jerked out of the bass after being entangled in a puppy fight, I decided to give this gadget a try. A winner! No more long cord in the way during a quick practice. Great sound through ear buds.

    I can shred like a rock star from the comfort of my own home. Works like a charm. You will not get the best distortion but it does it’s purpose.
