Tons of Great Tone You Can Take Anywhere

Here's a great little practice amp from Vox! The 3-watt Vox MINI 3 is a pint-sized combo-style practice guitar amplifier that's loaded with amazing features. First off, the MINI 3 can run on either AC power or AA batteries (for up to 10 hours of playing time). Next, choose from the MINI 3's 11 spot-on guitar amplifier emulations, a collection that includes all of rock's favorite amplifier types, such as boutique clean, tweed, California metal, U.S. high-gain, AC30 (of course), and more! And that's not all - the MINI 3 also comes loaded with excellent effects, which are perfect for those solo practice sessions. Compression, chorus, flanger, tremolo, delay, reverb - the MINI 3 has it all!

Badass little amp!!!

by Berman Medley from Cleveland, OH
December 30, 2010
Music Background: 38 years experience as a veteran musician, recording engineer, musical director, and producer.
I would never have thought you could get this type of tone from an amp this small. This thing is crazy good! Any tone I need is right there....and at any volume. I already own a Boogie 22 caliber,... read more [+] a couple of Line 6 amps, and Roland jazz chorus. This is my first Vox and it has made me a believer. Buy it. You will love it. Runs on batteries so you can take it anywhere. The effects are pretty good and the price is fantastic for what you get. Planning on using it for low volume/high gain guitar recording We'll see how it does but I expect to be VERY satisfied with the results.
We'll see!! close [-]

Great Little Amp

by Abe from Evanston, IL
August 24, 2011
Music Background: Hobbyist
I bought this for home use when I want quick plug and play. I used to own Korg Pandora PX5D and I feel like this amp just used the same circuit board from that particular multi effects unit. Sound w... read more [+]ise, pretty much all the amp models capture the "vibe" of individual characteristics. However, I would add that Vox did a bad job on their own AC15 and AC30 models; they sound thin to my ears. Overall the sound is good enough to keep you playing. It's good for practicing loud enough to jam with friends. One con is that mine has an awful hiss when turned on. Maybe I just got a lemon, but now since I've owned this more than a year, I don't notice the hiss because I got used to it. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for easy plug and play practice amp. close [-]

Great little amplifier with so many useful features.

by Jules Kenneth from New York, NY
July 5, 2011
Music Background: I play guitar for the enjoyment of myself, family , and friends.
Although it's small, portable, and can run on batteries, my new Mini 3 is everything I expected and more. It even comes with an external power supply, so I don't need to use batteries when I'm near an... read more [+] outlet.

I love the fact that it has so many useful effects that work well. but what sets this mini apart from all the rest, is the dedicated microphone input that has it's OWN reverb setting.

I really like this amp. It's great for when I just want to take it along for practice or even performing in an intimate setting.

Highly recommended! close [-]

Its pretty good! I cant complain, it has a 4" speaker and puts out quite a decent sound. I bought mine to play in my backyard, we spend a lot of time by the pool and back deck.
