DA-10 5W Mini Guitar Amp, Rechargeable Portable Practice Amplifier

I purchased this as a starter amp for my grand daughter. It was perfectly loud enough and had a clear sound Nice feature to be able to use it plugged in or on the go with the batteries. She liked it and if she stays interested in playing the guitar I'll get her a bigger one. For now this one works just fine. Easy for her to move it around light weight. It looks nice too.

What do I say about the Donner M-3 3-watt Portable Guitar Amp? How about "it packs a lot into a little". The speaker runs off of either a 9V DC in power cord or six AA batteries. So, while it is not rechargeable, it is most defintely portable. The speaker has both clean and an overdrive channels. You choose between the channels via a push-button on the top of the amp. The rest of the controls on the amp are "Drive", to control gain when using the overdrive channel, "Level" for overall volume, a three band equalizer with controls for "Treble", "Middle", and "Bass", and the "On/Off" power button. The top also has ports for your guitar in, an MP3/music player in, and headphone/earbuds out. I felt that the sound out of the one 3" speaker was solid and not muddy. I did have to level the volume up at about 7 or 8 to get it where the amp was louder than just my playing if I kept the EQ settinsg all at 5. But adjusting the equalizer to higher levels also raised the overall sound output. The overdrive channel I felt started to break up too much for my liking when I played it over level 6 or higher. I play it around 4 and that suits me just fine. The only drawback I have with this amp is that it is not rechargeable (Donner has another model for that). I have played it at a pretty loud volume for about four hours now and I am still on the first set of batteries, so I think they are lasting pretty good. Maybe I'll post a follow-up when these first batteries finally die. And when that happens I will replace them with rechargeable batteries, so that I am not always having to buy new ones. Well, there you have it. This amp works well and provides a lot of sound in a small, portable, package. I hope you found this review helpful.

I actually liked this a lot! It’s a very simple amp that has the basic features of adjusting the treble, middle, base (I have no idea how they work I just messed around with it) but also gain and of course a master volume! It’s really easy to use, just plug the cord into the amp and guitar, turn it on, and play! For power you don’t need a constant plug! just charge it up with the… micro usb. Ok, that knocked it down to 4 stars. My day is ruined. (I’m exaggerating of course) in all seriousness I was pleasantly surprised that the micro usb cord and port is not delicate and it charges fairly quickly (experience may vary) There’s also a CRUNCH button, basically distorts the guitar and it’s AWESOME I have no idea how to properly use it, but every time I play a random cord on a guitar it sounds like I’m a rockstar for a second! I should also add that this works with E-Drums or really any electrical instrument with a jack. For 40-50 bucks I’d say this is a decent deal if you want a simple amp for your instrument!

Good sound, and just the perfect watts for my local usage at home, perfect product

I’m new to electric guitar so I can admit that there is still a lot to learn. That being said for someone like me in a limited space that needs to be able to practice this works perfectly. It’s smaller than expected but it doesn’t take away from the power you can get out of this thing. I was impressed at the range it had and how the low end hasn’t been totally sacrificed. Don’t get me wrong it will not hold up to a full sized amp but for practicing, especially on the go, you will not go wrong with this. The only thing I do not like about this amp is how it takes a few seconds to “work out the bugs” on the initial power up every single time. Expect extra distortion for the first 60 seconds. Make no mistake this thing delivers and considering how portable it is along with the power it can produce on a battery the extra distortion in the beginning is not worth taking any stars away from what this can do.

Bought as an affordable & space saving alternative for a larger amp because I started teaching myself guitar. It's nice that it is both battery operated &/or 9v dc cable powered because sometimes all the cords can be overwhelming, not to mention an eye sore. The sound, initially, was great! Granted, there aren't many ways to change up the tones or sounds, but it does have the option to adjust your treble, mid, & bass. There is also a function to create distortion that i never use only because it almost sounds like it packs too much of a punch for such a small amp. It's not so much distortion as it is a muffled mess, at least for my taste. The headphone jack & Aux jack are a great addition to the item. Very helpful for when I want to practice a bit more discreetly, as well as when I was to add a backtrack to work on my time. Here's the largest flaws for me so far: The sound quality seems to be deteriorating. Keep in mind that I have been practicing almost daily for at least 1.5hr+ since October, so this very well be normal wear & tear. That being said, there has been an increase in humming & crackling, plus the adjustments it allows you to make aren't as precise as before. I've tried multiple cables & cords to see if that could be the issue, but it's been consistent no matter the cables/cords used. Another big drawback for me is there being only one input jack. I knew this upon purchasing, so this is at no fault of the manufacturer. I just underestimated how often I would want to experiment with things that require an additional jack. I've tried splitters, both new & old, & with a variety of cables, to remedy this, but this only leads to both muffled sound, as well as crackling or humming. Overall, this is a great amp for any beginner, but if you're at a place where you want to start experimenting with pedals or different sounds or of you are more advanced than a beginner, I'd definitely spend a bit more of an amp that has more versality & longevity.

Reason I ordered this little amp is because I wanted something small and light weight. I do have a vintage Fender tube amp at home but with 45lbs it stays home! This mini amp though I can take on a plane and stow it underneath the seat! It runs on batteries (6xAA included) if I want which is very handy, but a power supply is also part of the package. The Donner M-3 amp has 2 channels, clean and overdrive. I personally am mostly intersted in clean tones, i tried out the dirt channel to see if it works, and yes, it does. Donner calls is ‘overdrive’ but for me it’s more like a fuzz channel. A nice effect, alas, I’m into clean, and clean it does very nicely. The amp has 3 tone adjustment knobs, bass, middle, highs which are very effective, especially if one listens via the built-in headphone output. Another feature which was important for me is that besides the obvious guitar input it has also an mini ‘aux’ input that can be used for playback together with your guitar or on it’s own - i.e. iphone, ipad, computer output! As small as this amp is, audio sounds far far better than through those microscopic ‘speakers’ from a laptop or tablet. So, is it a keeper? Yes, totally! It’s small, it’s cute, it sounds great!

Understand that this amp is perfect for apartment use. Strong enough for you to hear all your low-mid-high sounds plus gain without upsetting your neighbors. That being said, I used this until unfortunately I suffered a fire in December 2023. 🥺 Long story short in the fire battle and the salvage period shortly after I grabbed this little guy. Hadn't used it since before the fire... UNTIL today! It has a smoke odor for obvious reasons. After a good wipe down and charging up... It literally worked like it did coming out of the box. Please purchase this if you're having to practice on enclosed spaces, or just to quietly practice at the lakefront. Or a small very intimate performance with an audience like family or maybe your roommate and their significant other and like 2 friends. And it can survive smoke damage. Unfortunately for me, I have proof! Go head and make the purchase. You won't be sorry.

Increíble, suena muy buen, tiene gran volumen, el overdrive Muy bueno, me permite sonar un poco a Black Sabbath, si suena a rock o metal.

This is a cute little guitar amplifier and it’s a Mini Amplifier. Not small but Mini It is 8 inches long It is 5.5 inches high It is 3.25 inches wide and weighs just over 2.25 pounds. As you can see by the Specs it is not big and can be held in the palm of one’s hand It is rated as a 5 Watt Output Amplifier. Now it can be run by 4 AA batteries which are included with the amp. One can also plug it straight into the AC house receptacle. It only uses 0.3 Watts of electricity and that is pretty easy on your Hydro Bill. It really serves three functions. 1. Can be used as a guitar amp with Clean or distortion sound with EQ controls of Bass, Treble, Middle and of course Volume. 2. Can be used as an external speaker for your MP3 Player, phone or tablet. Now the volume or EQ controls do not control the sound coming out of your tablet or MP3 Player. It is your player that will control the volume and I found that my tablet had more volume than what I would ever need. One can also hook up a headset and listen in privacy. 3. Could also just be used for a cool nice looking ornament on your mantle, book case or where ever. It is manufactured in China and my observations shows that it is well made as all of the controls and cabinet are tight as no rattles or vibration. It is equipped with a 3 inch speaker. This amp is not made to gig with or play in front of 20,000 people but very useful as a small practice amp or for running over to your friends place to show off your latest guitar lick without having to drag the big 50 pound amp with you. It does not connect via Blue Tooth to a tablet or other player. Only connects by cable. I can play my guitar with a guitar cable or wireless as both work well. For a mini amp I knew I would not be competing in any way with the big lads or even those amps selling for over 200.00. Now for the price I find this is a real good deal and I am completely happy with it.

Sembra fatto bene e suona altrettanto, il led che indica l'accensione è ad alta luminosità e da fastidio

Perfect size, it’s small but powerful. My son is very happy with it. Great quality!
