MOOERHornet05i Portable Mini Guitar Amp for Practice, Bluetooth 5W and Chargeble Battery, 101 Effect Types with Delay/Mod/OD, Loop, Drum, Tuner for Electric Guitar

App worked on first day I got it, second day is stuck at home screen saying please update the firmware to latest version. Well I can't because the firmware update too is in the app. Without the app this amp is useless I can't control anything. I've reinstalled the app on android and ipad, both is stuck at the home screen. (They fixed the app giving 5 stars)

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.

Very surprised & pleased with the sound & quality!

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 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.

This is the greatest micro-practice amp I've ever owned, especially for the price. The best 100+ I've spent in a long time. Enough effects to be interesting, and blistering metal tones all at late-night apartment levels, i.e., very low are fantastic. Playing with the app is fun also. I set up tones for different practice situations, so it's great to change up with no ponderous adjustments and things like that.But — there are two issues one minor one first: The drums are too quiet. The guitar always drowned them out. In all fairness, they may be able to be adjusted, I just can't figure it out.The HUGE issue, and solely why this is a three-star review instead of five, is there is NO battery life. I read 4 to 5 hours, but I am only getting one hour of play time. That is really a downer given the many positives. I've written MOOER to see if this is normal, but they won't respond. Mine may be an anomaly , but none the less, very frustrating.I have come to a routine to where I just charge it whatever I can before play time, but the playing time is not acceptable given that part of its advertising is being a "cordless" device.
