To start off this interview - I'm not a gearhead, and I don't even know much about analogue amps to begin with - I can identify what I like and what I don't, and I can set up a nice tone on an amp that sounds right to me. Digital amps were a mystery to me, so when I started running into ads about this little thing I was quite skeptical - small speaker, and configure your sound through a phone app, where your tone is essentially crafted with a neural network? Thought this could be useful as a practice amp at the very least. Boy, was I wrong. The little thing is (can be) loud as hell - you're not gonna be playing any live shows with it, but for such a tiny speaker, it can go pretty loud when you crank it up while practicing. It also doubles as a bluetooth speaker, which is very useful for playing with live audio. The app is versatile and useful as well, outside from having preset tones and the ability to create custom ones, you also get a bunch of handy stuff including a very responsive tuner. The battery life was also shocking - it took me weeks of (not very consistent, on-and-off) playing to fully drain the thing. It charges with a USB - which can also be plugged into your PC, and guess what, it directly transmits the audio so you can use it as an audio input to even record stuff with this. There's also an Aux output, which you can use to connect to headphones, or even a loudspeaker at a band practice.
All in all, for 100€ this is an insanely good little amp. I probably won't be playing live shows with it, but it is gonna be a part of every single guitar-playing session I undertake from now on.
