My personal favorite is the Orange Micro Crush. It has decent volume, actually has pretty good tone once you dial it right, and most importantly, doesn't buzz. It also accepts a 9v power cord.
The only other one I have tried was the Danelectro N10. It was horrible. I mean absolutely awful. Terrible tone no matter what the knobs were set to, and buzzed constantly. And by buzz, I mean, every single piece in this thing would rattle around every time you played a note. Also, if you played too loud, it would just cut out. I spent 5 minutes attempting to get my money's worth out of it, and then took out the battery to save for my Micro Crush.
The next one I want to try, because I have an obsession with these little things now, is the Roland Micro-Cube. I've heard nothing but good about it, even though for that price, you could have a significantly larger practice amp.
Edit: I know what I said about the Roland, but I just got the Pignose 7100 as an impulse buy, while at GC for another impulse buy. I have a problem, I know. So this amp is, first of all, really cool looking and solidly built. Second, it requires 6xAA batteries instead of the usual 9v. ...Also, it seems to have a different 9V adaptor port than all other micro-amps and pedals I own. The tone is pretty good, up there with the Orange and I would say even clearer, and you can open the back for a more airy, spacey sound. I like this amp alot, and it may replace my love for the Orange.
I also like my Honeytone mini amp. It has a headphone jack, but also a speaker so you can play out (not very) loud.
When I had an Oscar Schmidt OU2E I bought this http://www.amazon.com/Danelectro-N10A-Honey-Tone-Mini/dp/B000B6DHAS to go with it. I loved it and it was only about 20 bucks!
Edit: I also went with Worth strings at first and they have a nice bright tone, but I eventually switched them for the Aquila Nylgut strings as they have the long sustain and sweeter sound that I was looking for.
Honeytone. Don't laugh. Listen to one through good headphones, or hooked up to a nice stereo, rather than the internal speaker. Fender Mustang I is also a good-sounding start.
There are lots of little amps and mics out there, but the bottom end of the mic market is about $100 by itself. I got a Shaker Mad Cat
For cheap portable battery powered amps you can go as low as the Honeytone. I got one for $20 at Guitar center. It is a terrible amp, but it can be used for some things. For around $100 I got a Roland Micro Cube. I always thought that would make a pretty good busking amp. It models, it has reasonable control of tone, and it isn't a bad speaker. Battery life is really good.
That will be the next happy gear day for me. I'm still starting up so I figured good guitar first, then good amp. For now, I plug right into my PC and use software to simulate different pedals, effects, amps. It might not be so bad if my PC speakers were decent. But one thing at a time.
I do have a Honeytone for when I want to play away from my PC. It's great, but I need a real amp.
Hello! Thank for the warm welcome =)
Haha, hmmm, let's see. That would probably be a cheap electric ukulele (though pricey compared to the cheaper items on my list) as well as a mini amp to go with it. Kinda expensive, but I love dem<3
the ukulele
the amp
I'm a musician so I love love learning new instruments, but they may be random to someone who's not and they are admittedly pretty random for me as well.
I'd say they're there because while I adore my ukulele that I have, it's very sweet. Ukuleles are a sweet instrument, and I'd love to take that sound with an alectric one, add my distortion pedal to it, and create a new, badass strange wonky ukulele sound that people haven't heard of, haha.
