 A lot of sound in a little box. May 17, 2008
This is a very good product, and well worth the money. It has made practicing much more enjoyable. There is a high pitch squeal that I am still trying to figure out, but other than that, I have had no problems.

It was purchased as a gift for my son. I know it arrived in a timely manner and that he liked it enough to keep it. He is 25 and in the Air Force. Other than that, I do not know anything about this product.
Good value, just don't expect too much November 16, 2007
If all you want is portable, simple, and inexpensive, then this is a safe purchase. If you want killer sound, look elsewhere. I was dissapointed with the echo. Too over-powering in my opinion, so I only use clean or distortion. Because it is made of all plastic, it is very light, but I definately worry my kids are going to drop it or step on it.
If you don't have a lot of space for your equipment, or you don't like tripping over cables, or like to travel with guitar, then a headphone amp is very nice. If your just going to play at home, then a cheap practice amp which typically has a headphone jack, might be a better long-term option.

1. Forget the headphones, if you're interested in playing guitar, you need to actually hear what you play. So, replace them, first thing.
2. The amplifier is terrible, so if you want this thing just to practice at home... well, supposing you care nothing for the sound then it's ok. But then, why play guitar in the first place?
So, to sum it up, if you play guitar, and you respect yourself, spend some money and buy something decent. This is an item you may want to give away as a birthday present to a 7-year old.

Just to clarify, this headphone amplifier does NOT have a speaker. You must attach headphones (supplied) or your own amp/speakers.
Also, it comes in either brown, green, or yellow AT RANDOM, and is meant to clip on your belt/pants. It's not built like a brick so don't step on it.
Also, in the negative column, I found the distortion sound unpleasant when I cranked it to 11. However, setting the level to halfway or 2/3 of the way up produced an acceptable distorted sound. (I don't have a lot of experience with other cheap amps, though, so the Danelectro might not be the worst thing out there.)
In the positive column, the clean sound was good, there was no hum, only a small amount of hiss, and the reverb was mild but pleasant. (There's no control over reverb level or speed, only an on/off button.) There's plenty of power to drive the supplied headphones at "loud enough to hurt your ears.)
Grand total: 3 buttons (Power, Distortion on/off, Reverb on/off); 2 dials (volume control, distortion level); 3 jacks (guitar in, headphone out, line out); one LED.
Bottom line: if you don't have a headphone practice amp already, getting one at the current low price is a no-brainer.
