I just bought and received this new generation mini amp yesterday, and I am completely pleased with this plug direct to your electric guitar amp without cord. It's my second ampuplugnplay mini amp. The second amp I still have that I bought about three years ago and still works like when I bought it. This model has better features clean mode for rhythm and clean playing and the overdrive mode for blues, metal and rock guitar. The switch and 1/4 plug seems pretty sturdy built but common sense tells you make sure you don't bump into things with it on your guitar. I like the headphone input switch in case someone is sleeping your playing is private to your ears. But the speaker on is still ok to play without neighbors knocking on your door to turn it down especially if you live in an apartment - it's ideal amp to have, meaning, it's loud enough for you and the people you are playing to in a smaller environment. It's convenient because you don't need to connect to a regular amp. The mini amp is there by pluging to your amp right away even outdoors like in a park. The main thing is I like the sound from this amp it is no Fender Twin or Marshal but it's sure nice to have and I like the features of it, too.
I have been playing off and on since the '70s and and bought many effect pedals from early on not to mention guitars and amps but having this little amp is one of my best guitar accessory purchases I have made.
The MP3 I will have to wait I understand you play along with the recorded music which is great, but I don't have access to a MP3 right now sounds like another good feature to have.

Danelectro N10Y Honey Tone Mini Amp in Yellow Review

Danelectro N10Y Honey Tone Mini Amp in Yellow
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
The Danelectro Honeytone Mini Amp - Beatnik Burgundy is an easy way to get great sound from your electric guitar. The color of this unit is a soft burgundy (almost brick red in color). Paired with the Zero Hum AC Adaptor, it's a highly portable amp setup. "Ultra-portable" by using a 9V battery instead of the AC adaptor. I do think they are best purchased together to enjoy all the benefits of this rig though.
A headphone jack on the amp means you can enjoy the amp's impressive sound quality without bothering the neighbors or waking your spouse.
Included with the amp is an Owner's Manual with simple start-up instructions. You'll need to have your own cord (the one that goes from the guitar to the amp isn't provided as part of the amp package...). The manual has several control settings for the following sound tweaks:
-Clean & Spanky
-Warm Jazz
-Big Amp Overdrive
-Killer Blues
-Distorted Rhythm
-Thick Solo
-Woodstock Fuzz
-Send the Cats Under the Bed
-Twang
-Mondo Sustain
-Brit Solo Tune
-Sparkle Clean
-Early 80's Clean Solo
-Late 60's Neck Solo
-70's Brit
-70's Solo
I paid under $20 for this amp and couldn't be happier with the product. Don't hesitate to pick one up for yourself.

Tascam CDGT2 Guitar Trainer Review

Tascam CDGT2 Guitar Trainer
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a great product with nice features, unfortunately, it's already been updated to the MP3 version, which I also own, and the new model kicks [...]!!! Worth the extra $50 simply for it's ease of use and replacement of songs, the CD model means you have to put the tracks you want to play/practice, onto a CD first. Being a drummer, it allows me to slow down or speed up the tempo of a song to practice what's being played, and there's also a multi-functional metronome on it, with a clear 'click' sound, not a tone or pulse, so you know exactly where the beat is. A good product, but the MP3 version is better.

Jim Dunlop ROCK-MA Rockman Metal Ace Review

Jim Dunlop ROCK-MA Rockman Metal Ace
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I bought the X100 wayyy back in the early 90's, and it was way ahead of it's time. Built in chorus, reverb, it sounded excellent. For some reason, it no longer works, and given my loyalty to SR&D Rockman product line, I didn't want to try anything else, I wanted to buy another Rockman headphone amp. So I opted for this one. Today, Dunlop owns SR&D. The Dunlop website doesn't show you much, and it's not clear on what the difference is between the different Rockman Ace products. What's worse is that it doesn't show you the controls on top. Because of my loyalty, I bought it anyway.
Here's what you get. A stripped down version of the X100, a clean sound, and 2 types of distortion, one heavier than the other. The cleaner distortion, takes a second to build up to a heavier sound, it's hard to describe. It starts out like a light distortion, then gets heavier. Not sure why Dunlop would release a product that does this.
I have the classic Rockman rack effects when it was under SR&D, before Dunlop bought the product line. Those products are worth every penny, and I haven't found anything that comes close to sound you get from those effects. I don't know why Dunlop has killed the product line, and offering a watered down version of the best headphone amp ever, the X100, not to mention they discontinued all the rack effects.
The price you pay here on Amazon, is worth it. I wouldn't pay full price for this unit. It's ok, it's not great, or the wow I get from the X100, and maybe there's something else that's better, and worth paying more money for and would have added effects.
