Detail 01
Headphone amp, not a speaker amp
All output goes to your headphones. It will never fill a room, which is the entire reason to own one.

Independent shopping perspective
The Korena take
A headphone amp voiced for high-gain metal tones. Buy it for silent practice or a direct-to-recorder distorted sound without setting up a cab.
Strong match
Who this is for
- Practicing distorted rhythm parts late at night in an apartment
- Tracking a dirty guitar tone straight into a recorder
- Hotel rooms and backstage warm-ups where a cab is impossible
Consider the trade-offs
When to look elsewhere
- Players who need clean tones — this is voiced for gain
- Anyone who needs to be heard in a room or at rehearsal
- Players wanting to swap amp models or dial in many voicings
What matters in use
The specifications, translated
Catalog numbers tell only part of the story. These are the details most likely to change how this product feels, sounds, or fits into a setup.
Detail 02
Metal voicing
The gain structure is fixed toward tight, saturated distortion rather than a pedal platform clean.
Detail 03
Belt-clip sized
It goes where you go. Practice is wherever you sit down, not wherever the amp is plugged in.
Detail 04
Direct output for recording
You can capture a distorted tone without a mic, a cab, or a quiet room to put them in.
Detail 05
$105.99
Priced against a small practice combo, but it buys silence rather than volume.
Final check
Know before you order
- 01Plan on your own headphones — closed-back ones isolate best for high-gain practice
- 02You need a standard guitar cable to get signal in
- 03Clean tones are not what this unit is built to do
Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Can I plug this into a speaker cabinet?
No. It drives headphones, not a speaker load. Connecting it to a cab is not what it is designed for and will not work properly.
02Will this work for practicing quietly at night?
That is the main use. The sound goes only to your headphones, so you get a full distorted tone with nobody else hearing it.
03Is it good for clean sounds?
It is voiced for metal gain. You can get by, but if clean tone is your priority there are better choices at this price.
04Can I record with it?
Yes. Run its output into an interface or recorder and you get a distorted guitar tone with no mic or cab involved.
