Caline 20W Electric Guitar Amp Rechargeable Mini Amplifer Combo for Desktop Practice with Distortion, Delay, Aux in and Headphone Jack, CA-100 G

Interesting little find that popped up as a suggestion. There are just too many positives and no real negatives besides being too small to be loud. Compared to pocket battery amps the full range (yes they're soundbar speakers) drivers built into this little chassis actually provide a wide range of tones. The output jack essentially turns the pedal into a preamp (and doesn't sound too bad to boot, I was recording a faithful version of lit's my own worst enemy in no time.) Internal speakers do turn off when you use the outputs, which is probably what most people want anyways.The delays sounds really good for a built in one, totally usable and good for providing ambiance. The controls all work as intended without any funny business (yes it can self oscillate, not it's not analog.) The drive I was not keen on until I did some tweaking. The gain structure is similar to a DS-1 but has more clean signal in the lower stages, especially with the built in speakers.Now let's get into the real game changing aspect of this device. One, it's built like a tank. For under 100 bucks it's totally worth it on power bank capabilities alone. Two it supports three 9V outputs for powering pedals/ other devices. This could really save someone in a pinch if they had to set up someplace without a power strip that can reach your wall wart. Even for monitoring a signal on stage (keyboard players, drummers with sample pads, etc. I'm thinking about you) this would work wonders.Love the design, build and function. Whoever came up with this one knocked it out of the park. 10/10 highly recommend.

I am loving this so far. It does exactly what it purports to do. Aside from the ugly color, it actually seems quite sturdy despite being housed in plastic. It comes in a cardboard box that is well made, surrounded by black foam, including a top and side areas for the cords, etc. Sound-wise, I really like the quality and the volume AND the facet that you can plug it in or charge it up, making it extremely portable. I tested it using my pedal board, inputing it into the unit and it works perfectly well. Fingers crossed as I will be doing more testing (plugging into a P.A. mixer, etc.). The clean sound, delay, and reverb are excellent. Distortion, when engaged can be dialed down. I haven't used the plug-in capability to power several pedals yet, but the convenience, compact size, and all that it delivers for whatever purpose you have, especially at home, is great. I'm very glad I took a chance. If it lasts, all the better. I highly recommend.

Had this unit for about a year. It is great, for what it is and then some. However, after one year of 3hrs per week, the unit failed to hold charge. I was able to use it plugged in for a few more hours before it died completely, not even pass through power would work. Am I dissatisfied? Not at all. For the value, this little powerhouse is gold. I spent more money on a small Fender Mustang, but I’m considering getting another one of these puppies.

Ok, so it is housed in a plastic shell that makes me feel like it is a toy, but so are all the other mini amps.Needed this for practicing in the car, as I spend plenty of time waiting for my wife, and 2antwd something that would not disappoint with the sound quality in a small space.Spent 80 min on it today, with a Boss SD1 Overdrive pedal running to test the battery life and the sound on 3 different guitars: D'Angelico Bedford Deluxe solidbidy, D'Angelico Atlantica with p90s, and Hagstrom Alvar Elf semi hollow. While it took a few minutes to get dialed in and required a couple of level and tone adjusts after switching guitars, had a great practice session in my home studio. It does sound best with the hollowbody, but was perfectly fine with the other two as well.Is it a full-sized tube amp? Nope. But is it pleasant enough to the ear to be able to sit and play in a small space without cursing the amp for making you sound worse every 2 minutes, totally. After about 20 min, I kinda forgot I was on it and just played.So if you need something small and portable, it's quite a good buy and recommended. Onboard effects are quite good too but I don't use distortion, and I use the delay as reverb by turning the time close to zero. That plus the OD pedal gives me what I'm looking for in my own portable limited use case for sure: waiting in the car outside the university, sitting in the car outside TJ Maxx, and will be great for travel as well.

Has distortion channel or clean channel. Want to practice a night? No problem it has a headphone out jack. Plus it has delay and controls for bass and treble & distortion. Great price too. I saw a guy mic the speakers on stage. He did a whole set with this.

Let me start with the one negative knock: When I plug it in AND use it at the same time, there's a high pitch whine that is hard to ignore. When it's running off the battery, it goes away.If it wasn't for that small issue, this would be a 5 star product.Do you want a practice amp?Want an analog delay?Want a power supply for 3 pedals while you practice?Headphone jack?Aux in?Output to your audio interface or recorder?How about a need for a Bluetooth speaker? It does that too! Search for CA-100 and it should connect.This is an incredible value for anyone who plays guitar. If you're OK with using it on the battery, pick one up.Lastly, sound quality isn't terrible. It's loud enough to fill a room and doesn't give you ear piercing high frequencies.

This is now my go to practice amp. The battery life is fantastic. It spent a month at work without the charger and everyone practicing. It looks like a toy but packs quite a punch. The delay can be dialed in to a nice reverb. Great range of clean to distortion. I like it!

Delay worked fine the first time I used it. Left it unplugged, turned it on again a few days later and delay channel/effect is not working at all.Bummer:
