Supro Smokey Power Amp

It's best feature is it's size and portability, you can easily fit it in a shirt pocket. It can't be used as a pre-amp as there is just too much noise, but as a small practice amp it's good.

For what it is, it's very loud. Because it's so small it's easily overdriven and puts out a distorted Bluesy sound. Great for practice.

Only bought it today so can't say as yet.

I don't play Guitar,I play Harmonica through it. For a small battery powered amp this really rocks. I would reccomend it for any Harp player as a first amp or as a practice amp. The beauty about the Harmonica is that it's portable. You can carry it in your pocket and practice anywhere, and with this little amp you can play amplified anywhere. It's cheap and it's a whole lotta fun......

This is a new Supro High Gain (Smokey Amps is retailing it). It gives a solid distortion for a 2" amp and cleans up nicely when you turn down the volume. It will reportedly power a 4x12 cabinet. I'm going to try it at Guitar Center one day.

It's got just the single channel, but fits nicely in my case and even sounds good thru the phone. This is a tremendous practice amp.

It ranges from clean to high-gain distortion. Again - for $30 bucks it sounds great. No buzz or extraneous noise, though you can achieve a very eerie feedback (sounds like an alien mating call).

Very reliable. Just change the battery.

I've been playing less than a year, but this really suits my needs. I would definitely replace it if lost or stolen. It sounds better than my cousin's Smokey Amp.

Sounds as you'd expect a 2 inch amp to sound. nice gain for its size. You CANNOT use it as a fuzz effect as the website says. I tried it in 2 different amps and there was waaaaay too much noise and I'm not talking a buzz or hum. Loud, overpowering noise. Sounds ok thru a speaker cabinet but better run thru a channel of a PA. In fact, if I were playing a small coffee house gig and didn't feel like taking an amp, I'd play thru this and then into a PA.

Seems well built

For what it is, I would say that it's not bad. I bought it for an easy option to "plug and play" and it sounds good thru a PA (or a speaker cab), but again, it cannot be used as a fuzz box like their website says, and that kind of disappointed me.

This amp was new, and it is shit. It is about two inches tall, and basically just about as much use as playing unamplified. It's a lot louder than playing unamplified, but distorted in a bad way. The loudness is admittedly impressive considering it's powered by a 9V battery.

I was using it with a cheapish ESP Ltd. Viper. I was trying to play metal(core) and this was obviously the stupidest thing to try and play on this. It only has one channel, distorted. I thought this might be fine for me (as I never play anything but the most distorted), but it just wasn't picking up a lot of stuff I was doing. Pinch harmonics weren't coming through at all.

Returned it so can't speak of longevity, but the lucite version I had seemed tough as anything.

I have a much larger combo, hommade cabinet and a Laney head. This thing is just useless for anything I'd be interested in. I think certain types of rock'n'roll might be ok and it might be ok to mess around with, use as a pre-amp etc.
