MOOERSD30i Practice Guitar Amp Portable Smart Amplifier, Bluetooth 30W Stereo Sound, 5Hrs Bettary Life, with 101 Effects, 80s Looper and 40 Drummer for Electric Guitar

Hornet 05iI'd give this bad boy six stars if I could.The sound alone warrants five stars. I was really surprised when I plugged in and hit the guitar strings. I have a couple other practice amps. They are both 20 watts. This little 5 watt baby holds its own against them when it comes to clarity, volume, and tone.If you're looking for a great (very) little amp to take to the park, your friends house, this one is portable, has a rechargeable battery, and is simple to use. Like one knob simple, clockwise to turn it on and turn it up, a quick push to cycle between four preset tones/effects. The four presets are even color coded on the knob. Easy.But wait... yes, there is more.I downloaded the free iAmp app and wow, that opened the door to so much more. I don't need to tell you the numbers, as they are listed in the description, but yes, there are a lot of amps, tones, effects, a looper, metronome, tuner, and even a big helping of rhythm tracks to help you keep time.Yes, they are editable.(My wife hates this amp. I was supposed to make dinner but ended up deep in the rabbit hole that was customizing sounds. After two hours she said something and I had to quit and make dinner. Oops)I did end up pairing the amp with the GTRS GWF4 wireless foot switch. Now I don't have to tap the iPad to change settings, start/stop the looper and drum tracks, and the best thing, it works flawlessly.It does take a little bit to get the button combinations down for switching tone banks and to and from the drums or looper.The downloadable manuals for both are well written and really helpful.You charge the amp with a USB C cable, the same cable will let you record to a mobile device.(I might just put this in a padded shoebox with a SM57 and see what it does...)If you have five minutes to practice or you are jamming all day, the Mooer Hornet 05i will keep up.---------------------SD30iThis amp is that little Hornet on steroids!The 30 watt SD30i is clear, loud, and oh man, is it customizable... Like the Hornet it connects to the Mooer iAmp app letting you set up new presets. I had the GWF4 wireless foot switch. I've used it with both amps. My pedalboard setup is sitting in the corner, jealous.No seriously, like with any amp there are those couple pedals that have their unique tones.I like being able to forget about the minute tweaks to the sound when coming up with riffs and songs. This amp allows you to do that. Set all the presets where you want them, and you have a whole bank of tones to play with. I made four presets with distinct flavors. There is a clean, fuzzy, punkish, and classic British rock. I can cycle through them, or move on to other presets. This is all done on the SD30i through the iAmp app. The wireless foot switch isn't mandatory, but it saves you from tapping the iPad when you want to change tones or start the looper.I can't say enough about this amp, metronome, drum tracks, tuner, and looper.The sound quality that is thrown at you is fantastic. (I think this amp improved my playing.)Did I mention that like its little brother the SD30i packs a rechargeable battery.Yeah, play with 30 watts of powerful sound anywhere you want.

Considered several desktop practice amps. Glad I chose the Mooer SD30i! Substantially less expensive than many others, sound quality and features are top-notch! App works easily with the amp to provide editing and extra options. Perhaps not as visually appealing as other apps, but sliders allow changes so much more quickly and accurately than rotary knobs. The optional F4 footswitch is a very convenient add-on, and well worth purchasing. Makes for easier preset selections, and can access some of the hidden features without the need to pair with the app! Appreciate the unique visual appearance of the SD30i, as its attractive vinyl color is eye-appealing and a welcome addition to any home decor. Plenty of closely accurate amps, pedals, and effects to select from to tweak or build your rig. The on-board drum tracks and looper are a handy bonus as well! Overall an incredibly impressive offering from Mooer that definitely should be considered against similar top-brand-name amplifiers!!

The media could not be loaded. Awesome little amp. Has blue tooth accessories purchased separately and connects to a phone app to use the entire spectrum of sounds. Battery-powered for portability, Phenomenal produce

The amp quality is very good. Well built and sounds great. The looper is awesome for practicing riffs and scales. Bluetooth allows for improvising over backing tracks. Onboard and cloud effects help dialing out the perfect guitar tones. The size fits most shelves.excellent value for the money.

5 stars for the sound and the versatility through the app. The first preset provides a nice high gain tone that was quite usable to start playing right away if that's your style & the clean tone preset is good as well. The preset with delay is a bit much and without the ability to customize the presets is a bit useless to me, but there are a ton of options to adjust your sound through the app. The interface for the app is pretty straight forward and easy to navigate and there are a ton of options available for amp simulations and various effects. The volume seems sufficient for a portable practice amp, but I only tested it indoors.As far as looks, I'm not a big fan. While it feels pretty solid, it has a toy-like appearance that doesn't really appeal to me but maybe a younger demographic might find it appealing?The knob is also a bit awkward to use as it doesn't protrude out quite far enough to get a good grasp on it but it has a good feel to it construction-wise.If this is supposed to compete with the Positive Grid Spark Go, it seems they missed the mark on a few things, especially with it being at the same price point. It is a bit bulkier and also lacks a headphone output which would be a big plus and the Spark Go definitely has a sleeker appearance. But without a side by side comparison it wouldn't be fair to say that the Spark is a better product and the Hornet05i does offer some features that don't appear to be available on the Spark, one being the looper which is a very nice feature.All in all, this amp offers a lot of versatility in a very portable package and more than stands on it's own.
