    JOYO JA-03 "Super Lead" Sound Effect Mini Guitar Pocket Amplifier with Headphone

    • This is a great device for practicing but has a light buzz, nothing majorI get AWESOME tones with an SG, I usually use the bridge pickup all the way up for full on distortion, then I back off the volume knobs for mid and bridge positionsDefinitely worth it, great price!!
    • It does the job for a good price, but I assume more expensive versions wouldn't have a constant buzz sound
    • I would recommend this item if you want a metal sound for a very cheap price, or if you want a high quality metal distortion, go for the VOX Metal pocket amp, which I got online from Guitar Center, for a much higher price.
    • Overall, darned nice little headphone amp at a good price.
    • Cool little thing for a good price, won't sound as good as headphones in a real amp, but for the size and price its awesome.
    • If the thing worked the way it did day one I'd rate 4 stars, especially considering the price
    • Joyo, for those unfamiliar, is a Chinese company (or perhaps "manufacturer", more accurately) that has gained some popularity in the past few years by "cloning" the circuitry of popular boutique guitar effects pedals, encasing them in a new form factor, and selling them at a price ($35 to $55) far more affordable than their boutique equivalents.
    • I think the Vox plugs are more than fairly priced, but at only $15, I could see owning one or more of these Joyos as well, and leaving them all over the house.
    • Great price
    • Overall a great product and price.
    • For the price it's hard to complain-- but imo its use is pretty much limited to being an earphone adapter.
    • Anything that will make it more likely for you to get in the needed hours of practice to master an instrument is a good thing and this little headphone amp works pretty well with enough gain to power headphones, especially considering the price (under $12)
    • The price is ludicrously right; I didn't want to pay $40 or $50
    • This product had the right price point to mitigate the risk of a bad chopping, which I did with the first one, and had to buy a second.
    • Don't expect top of the line gear at this great price.
