Hotone German Rock Sound Guitar Amp Head 5 Watts Class AB Amplifier with CAB SIM Phones/Line Output Eagle's Heart

Thought I'd try this after buying the siva boogie, apparently voiced after an engl, never tried one so can't comment, I do own a Hughes and kettner if that's any thing to judge by. Well plugged in and immediately thought its faulty, this takes a lot of dialling in, but worth the time, I put a Friedman golden pearl into it and it sounds glorious, these are serious amps ,dont let the size and cost fool you.

I was looking for a low watt high gain amp for home practice and this was exactly what I was looking for. I don't usually play clean sounds, I like my clean sound to be overdriven, I only crank the gain a little and it sounds like I imagined it would, of course results will very depending what kind of pickups you're using. There is a bit of hum, more noticable when the gain is up higher, but every amp I have does the same thing due to electrical interference, so I can't say it's the amps fault, all in all, it's the best sounding practice amp I have in mg house and I love it. Also, it's super small but has a solid heft and feel to it, doesn't feel like a toy.

Este pequeño (sí, muy pequeño) dispositivo tiene dos características muy buenas:➡️ Útil para practicar en casa o ensayar en local. (Sonido más que de sobras, podréis probar la distorsión en volumen alto, sin que salten las alarmas de los coches en la calle). Lo cierto es que no da mucho volumen, pero tampoco genera ruido excesivo si tienes al ganancia baja.➡️ Poder llevártelo a dónde quieras. (incluso haceros una pedalera con todos los amplis hotone si os interesa).Otras característica muy útiles:FX Loos para efectos tipo reverb, flanger etc.Es pequeño, práctico y tiene calidad suficiente para una banda que toque en salas cerradas. Por el precio puedes comprar un segundo como backup.Entrada de línea para enchufar el móvil, spotify, apple etc.Puedes conectarlo a una pantalla con un cable de 8 omhs o unos auriculares. Para que los auriculares funcionen, hay que desconectar el cable de pantalla. El sonido en una pantalla es muy bueno; tiene cuerpo y volumen. Como ya es habitual en TODOS los amplis, el sonido de auriculares no tiene la calidad que ofrece una pantalla. Es normal que notemos la diferencia.Para los que tenemos muy poco espacio, Hotone nos ofrece la oportunidad de ampliar nuestra gama sonido por poco dinero y poco espacio. Por eso le doy 5 estrellas.Lo más importante que debemos tener en cuenta es que NO ES un ampli híbrido genérico. Viene con un sonido ya predeterminado. Le puedes subir el volumen y la ganancia, pero siempre sobre la misma base del sonido que pretende emular. Los que se quejan de que la perilla de ganancia siempre está activa es que no se han enterado todavía cómo funcionan estos dispositivos. No dará nunca un sonido limpio. Este no; ni el "Heart attack", ni el "British invasion", ni el "Purple Wind".Son muy baratos, entre 69 y 99 euros. Y sí, cada Hotone aporta un tipo de sonido específico. Tendremos que leer la descripción o ver vídeos para identificar el sonido y decidir si nos encaja bien. Si queréis un Hotone con sonido limpio tenéis que comprar el "Mojo Diamond", que yo también tengo (sale en la foto a lo lejos). Este Eagle's Heart emula el sonido del cabezal ENGL Savage (buscad en google).¿Suena idéntico a ese amplificador? No lo sé, pero estoy convencido de que es lo más parecido que vais a lograr por menos de cien euros.

I got on a tangent of wanting to turn an old Crate combo amp into a speaker cabinet and I needed something to test it with. Was basically just looking for a super cheap amp head and ended up with this little guy right here. Not only do my ancient speakers still work, this little thing pushes them good and sounds pretty decent to boot. Not sure how much it sounds like an Engl Savage -- maybe a bit? It's not super high gain like I know the Savage can do but it's pretty darn crunchy.As some others have pointed out, the EQ on this thing is a little bit weird. The knobs don't really react as you'd expect an amp EQ to react. The frequency sweep is a bit odd and they can really change the overall output volume as well. It's just something you'll have to experiment with to see what works.Not really a fan of the headphone/line output sound. The cab emulator can't be toggled off and the overall sound of the amp just isn't the same as running it into a cab. Far more fuzzy/buzzy and not as articulate. Definitely would not buy this planning to use it as anything but an amplifier head. Haven't gotten to try it with a DI box and the cab connected so that might fair differently but as an exclusively headphone/direct amp, it's not that great IMHO.Either way, for all the gripes and shortcomings, I actually really like how it sounds through my old 2x12 combo and the thing is just adorable with its little orange LEDs behind the grille as if you could even FIT a 12AX7 tube inside that tiny case. Check out Hotone's demo video on Youtube because the sound there is pretty much what I'm hearing so if you're into it, go for it. Wouldn't pay much than about $70 for one (their prices seem to vary greatly from 50-100), they're cool little amps but seem more like novelties than a serious piece of kit; a glorified distortion pedal which just also happens to be able to push a speaker cab.

Skeptical No More. Was hesitant based on some reviews of this amp, but I could not be happier. Super authentic ENGL tones coming from this tiny thing. I am running either a pedalboard or my Boss GT100 with this amp and it just amazes me. I also bought the Heart Attack amp and the tones you can get from these.....just awesome. This one actually has a little higher output than the Heart Attack. The two amps really sound like what they are trying to mimic.

I have had 2 now. One was dead on arrival. The second was shipped with a mismatched power supply. The jack wouldn't even fit. Used the power supply from the first to test the second. Terrible is an understatement. Static, hiss and sounds like hot garbage. Avoid these trinkets at all cost.
