LyxPro 20W Electric Guitar Amplifier with Built-in Speaker, Headphone Jack & Aux Input - Gain, Bass, Treble, Volume Controls - Blue | Perfect for Home Practice, Studio Recording & Live Performances

This is a cheap amp. Plain and simple. I ordered a red refurb and got the wood grain. Whatever. It was $55 with free shipping. It still looks cool. Expecting this to fill a stadium with distorted sound? This is not the amp to do it. HOWEVER, If you have a smidge of patience and a discerning ear you CAN get the sounds that you are looking for. Search up amp settings on YT, Marty Music. He is the man and you CAN get great tones out of this amp. The clean channel is very clear and crisp. I have the 60 watt and the clean channel is very clean and VERY LOUD and has great reverb. I am able to get a great range of clean sounds with my cheapy tele knock off (Indio tele, which I LOVE BTW).So here’s the deal. I have owned a very similar 30 watt Marshall SS amp in the past and the cleans on both sound very similar. At a quarter volume it’s well loud enough for my basement rock out sessions. I have used small Fenders and this 60 watt version is well on par with those.Now, let’s talk about the overdrive/dirty channel. It’s basically like every other overdrive channel on a SS amp I’ve ever used. Perceived much quieter than clean, which is to be expected with the compression that the circuitry imposes. However, this is still workable if you don’t use pedals or multi effects. This is not concerning to me as I use a Boss DS-1 and it RIPS on the clean, plenty of headroom as this is a 60 watt amp.Construction? Looks cool. Nice size. The wood used is particle board and is a closed back. Not a huge issue as it is fairly solidly built. Knobs and switch are nice and feel good, not cheap feeling.Overall, for the price and the fact that you can old school tweak this amp with some patience and listening, I give it a 4.5 overall. Is it a Fender twin? No, but it’s not trying to be. It’s a great affordable amp.
