not directly. it is 110/120 volt household current. you would need an inverter to operate off a battery.

1x 2.5mm for headphone out, 1x 2.5mm for audio in, and 1 quarter inch for line in (guitar or bass).

will this amp work with a bass too?
A shopper
on Jul 12, 2017
BEST ANSWER: Thank you for your interest in this amplifier. While not recommended, yes you can use this amp for a bass. Great care needs to be taken so you do not damage the speaker. As a small practice amp for working out bass chops start with volume very low. change setting slowly until you hear too much distortion. If you use with headphones there is no issue. A little distortion on the bass is kinda fun.

i don't think so. I wouldn't recommend trying it, either. Guitar amp circuitry and wattage, along with signal peak/impedance are set specifically for guitar and NOT bass. Although, if you tried to plug a guitar into a bass amp, it'd work, but not the other way around...you'd run the risk of frying the amp

no a guitar amp will not work for a bass. a bass requires a lower frequency response and unless the amp is specifically designed as a combo amp with a different woofer and set of crossovers all you will typically get is buzz or maybe very poor sound. if the unit is designed as a combo amp it will typically have a selector or set of controls for the bass clearly marked.

Could you use this as a keyboard amp?
A shopper
on Feb 16, 2019
BEST ANSWER: Yes, you technically could. I would use the bass amp instead since the speaker will better handle the full range frequencies of the keyboard. With a little too much volume you will pop this one easier.

Yes you could. I bought this for my cousin as he is just beginning to play guitar. It would be a decent practice amp but not a great performance amp.

Is this loud enough to play with another person?
A shopper
on Feb 16, 2019
BEST ANSWER: 20W will get pretty loud. If you like full distortion then you can crank it up and play with some others. If you like a cleaner sound then this little guy will probably not be able to keep up. Check out our 40W or the 15W tube amp. Even though it is less power, the tube output is much louder than solid-state amps.

Would this amplifier work for my electronic drum set? I'd like something that I can rehearse with and, perhaps, perform with. Thank you!

BEST ANSWER: I would use a small powered PA Speaker like our APS10. This amp will work but it is designed for drums and will not reproduce the bass very well. You will probably blow the speaker.

This would make a good practice amp, but you're not going to the the lows you need for your floor tom and bass drum. But for $50, this thing is a steal!

very happy!!!
just getting back into playing after a few decades off. this amp has good tone, the gain is good and the volume is plenty to practice and/or play at a small venue. VERY PLEASED !!!! Not a lot of bells and whistles.... but very good basic sound quality (now I need to get my playing back to where it once was )

Not too shabby for a practice amp
Bought this amp as a second practice amp, since my wife needed an amp for her new bass. The clean channel is really nice, sparkly and rich without mud. The overdrive channel is a bit murky, sounding a bit more like a weak fuzz than a good overdrive. It works alright, but the sound isn't really for me. I prefer to stick to the clean channel when using it, despite the fact that I'm mainly a metal player! I haven't tried it with any pedals, but I may need to snap up a couple distortion and overdrive and see if those can give me the tone I want.

Good practice amp
Overdrive works pretty well. Headphone option works well. Have not plugged in the option to play music on the amp. Good value
