Dean Markley GT-1000T Mini Amp

This has been covered. It's incredibly basic, with clean and overdrive, tone and volume knobs. One input, one headphone. Can use 9V battery or get an adapter (mine did not come with one). I give it an 8 because it's basically got all the features you'd want for something so tiny... but I don't like the basic plastic.

Ugh. I mean, I know I shouldn't expect much for something so tiny, but... ugh! I can't believe some of the high ratings people are giving this for sound quality. It's terrible. The clean channel is totally useless. It's SO quiet. And there is NO tone quality. I suppose it could be a fun toy on overdrive... still, just a toy. Actually, I consider this a "toy amplifier" rather than a "micro amplifier". The only reason I'm going as high as 2 is the overdrive.

You would never, ever, use this for a gig -- unless your bandmates were on Fisher Price drums and Hasbro bass.

It is cheap plastic, so I'm sure a drop or a drop kick would destroy it. I might just do that anyway.

No clue.

Really, it's just a joke. I can't remember what I paid (several years back), but whatever it was, it was too much.

Made 2005
2 channels
headphone jack
The amp is perfect for playing your guitar at home.It is very easy to use and has a nice over drive that is very rich.You can get some very bright highs and deep lows that will stand out as you spend time with the amp.

The sound quality is fantastic that rivals my little pignose amp.

It runs for hours on a 9 v.I have never had any problems with it.

They have a nice web site.

I have been playing for over 15 yrs.I love the amp it is high quality and a great price.

i think this was a 2005 model. has nice overdrive,crappy clean channel. see through or black ( i got one in see through) headphone jack, tone knob.

the distortion is nice, the clean scuks

the P.O.S barly works i guess when i bought it off my friend he blew out the speaker and it keeps cutting out.

if i bought it new, it would be much better

just the basics, which is al that's need for this sort of thing: vol, cln, OD, tone, dc in, headphone jack, belt clip.

this toy is good for only one thing: practicing in distortion mode, which sounds pretty good for what it is. the clean channel is so quiet you can hear the strings before you'll hear the amp.

it's an inexpensive piece of plastic. if you're gonna drop it, make sure there's carpet underneath you, or else it's done.

i'm a beginner and bought this to practice upstairs (got tired of lugging the reg amp from room to room). the inaudible clean channel makes this toy useless. if you use it only for distortion, it'll serve it's purpose.

also, the belt clip isn't really useful either since the toy vibrates.

since i want a useful cln and OD mode, this isn't for me. the fender mini cln channel was loud enough, but sounded like OD, so that's out. maybe the marshall ms2 is the one.

headphone jack overdrive channel clear channel 1 tone 1 volume knob runs on a 9v.i used this for a little amp when i went places.it was loud enough for what i was doing

for starters i always cranked this amp all the way up and it sounded ok

geez its a piece a crap, youd think a 2 watt amp could handle a ds1 distorsion pedal. ok that was a bad idea but it seemed like a good idea.before that it worked fine

mine doesnt wwork but i wont bother dealing with them because a)i broke it and b)it was cheap

ive been playing for about 4 years and i bought this about a year ago. i broke it about 4 months ago and ive been meaning to buy another tiny one. i might buy this one again but id look at the others more maybe the fender or the marshall

2004, Headphone Jack, Volume, Tone, 9v plugin, clean channel, overdrive. mainly used whereever i dont feel like lugging my VOX AD30 VT around.

zep, sabbath, other good classic rock do well on this little box, and it is very loud for it's size, but the clean channel is nowhere near as loud as the OD channel with the volume rolled back. it does buzz a little bit in the higher volume registers but it has awesome sound and that's all that matters.

It would be a pity if i tripped over it, it would probably be broken, but it feels pretty solid if you dont step on it.

hope I never need customer support

Blew me away, louder and better sounding than the stupid DANELECTRO honeytone, a gain knob would be nice, and more solid construction would be appriciated. but bottom line is that it is cheap and has mind blowing sound. Buy one of these little amps!

Mini amp: 3" speaker, 3 watts, belt clip, cool clear purple color, headphone out, optional ac adapter, volume and tone controls, 2 channels OD1 and OD2. Runs on a 9v battery. Super light and portable.

Amazingly LOUD for such a tiny amp, and GREAT distortion. No clean channel though. OD1 give a nice bluesy distortion and OD2 gives a great sounding rock/metal/grunge distortion. The distortion is fuzzy, but in a good way. I was jamming with a buddy who has a 60 watt tube amp and it held up surprisingly well. He was so impressed that he has now bought one. Seriously, I did not expect much from this amp and my jaw dropped when I heard it crank. I read a review in Guitar World magazine which said it was very loud and had good distortion, which is what prompted me to get it in the first place. I am VERY pleased.

I get some buzzing when I clip it to my back pocket, so I usually set it on the ground which solves the problem. It is plastic and I doubt it could handle much abuse, so I'm careful not to kick it or anything. So far I haven't had to change the battery which is a good thing. I've only had it 3 weeks, so I cannot attest to how it will stand up over time.

Definitely the best $15 I have ever spent. Get one! Last I checked they were on sale at Guitar Center.
