12 best portable amps

Portable amps, including mini headphone amps, electric guitar amplifiers preamps, and bass amplifiers preamps, are compact electronic devices designed to amplify sound for musical instruments, particularly electric guitars and bass guitars. These amps are popular among musicians who need a portable and convenient solution for practice, recording, and small live performances.Here's an overview of the different types of portable amps:

  1. Mini Headphone Amps: Mini headphone amps are small, battery-powered devices that allow musicians to practice silently by plugging in their instrument and headphones. They are perfect for quiet practice sessions without disturbing others.

  2. Electric Guitar Amplifiers Preamps: Electric guitar amplifiers preamps are essential components of guitar amplification systems. They amplify the weak electrical signal from the guitar's pickups before sending it to a power amp, which then drives the speaker. Preamps often come with tone controls, allowing musicians to shape their sound by adjusting the bass, midrange, and treble frequencies.

  3. Guitar Bass Amplifiers Preamps: Similar to electric guitar amplifiers, bass amplifiers preamps are specifically designed to handle the lower frequencies produced by bass guitars. They often have specialized features to enhance and shape the bass tones effectively.

  4. Amplifiers Effects: Portable amps can also include built-in effects such as reverb, delay, distortion, and modulation. These effects allow musicians to experiment with different sounds and styles without the need for additional pedals or processors.

  5. Musical Instruments: Portable amps are not limited to guitars and bass guitars; they can also be used with other musical instruments like keyboards, electronic drums, and microphones, providing a versatile amplification solution for various applications.

Portable amps offer convenience and flexibility, making them ideal for musicians who need a portable solution for practicing, recording, or performing in small venues. They come in various sizes and power ratings to cater to different needs, from personal practice amps to compact amps suitable for intimate gigs. Additionally, advancements in technology have led to the development of digital modeling amps, which emulate the sound characteristics of classic amplifiers and effects, providing a wide range of tones in a single portable unit.

User questions & answers

Question: What kind of power supply does this use? Can I plug into the wall or does it take batteries? I'm not very familiar with amplifiers, thanks
Answer: Documentation does not say, not on the box either. Coverage area indicates it is 2.4. Works very well I wouldn't worry about it. Good luck.
Question: Would this be good for Karaoke (I have a Karaoke Mixer) or for connecting to a Projector to boost the sound
Answer: It depends on the dealer's policy.
Question: Does it come with a wire
Answer: Just received the DWS-3 system today on recommendations from numerous reviews and forums. Plugged it in using my Warwick Thumb 5-string and GK mb500. No discernible difference from using a standard cable. Handled the low B string just fine. I’m confident it will do fine at gig this weekend with GK+SWR Goliath III cab.
Question: Can this amp used for violin? Does it has speakers
Answer: As it is I found that mine did also , after research for a few minutes I found that it was my input jack on the guitar . Don’t know if this helps but I cleaned mine with a burst of compressed air and it helped but ultimately I changed the jack out for a new one and I now have crisp and clear sound .

Marshall MS2 Battery-Powered Micro Guitar Amplifier

Based on 2 reviews Check latest price

Product description

Marshall mini amps, though small, pack a punch, are very cool, portable and no guitarist should be without one. The MS-2 looks great and sounds great for practice on the go.

A fun gift and great practice amp, Marshall's MS-2 is the ultimate in portable battery/mains operated micro amps, packing full Marshall tone into a tiny case measuring just 14 x 11 x 6 centimeters.

This mighty micro Marshall has switchable Clean and Overdrive channels, delivered with one little Marshall Watt. A single tone control lets you dial it in.

Features a headphone output for rocking out in private, or even driving an external power amp.

What's in the Box

Marshall MS2 Micro Amp, Owner's Manual

  • Battery Operated (Best with Polaroid 9V Batteries)
  • 1 Watt
  • Volume & tone control
  • Headphone jack
  • 0.34 lbs.

User questions & answers

Question: can this be used for a microphone
Answer: If the microphone has a quarter inch jack it will work. There is only one input jack.
Question: I'm looking for something for an bass guitar. I'd be playing with only one other guitar in either a living room or dinning hall setting, will it work
Answer: Bass is really not going to sound very nice through this amp, even in a small setting. You'll sound much better through an amp that's designed for bass, like a Peavey MAX 126 or Fender Rumble 15.
Question: any chance this is powerful enough to play in the street
Answer: Would be adequate for street corner or subway playing. Subway acoustics are fantastic with overdrive. About 30 foot radius of good volume...fades after that. Sound quality is true to that of the Marshall name.
Question: Can this be used with acoustic guitars
Answer: Yes. The Marshall MS2 Micro Amp has very low noise even at volume setting up to 10. The Overdrive (OD) switch gives a rather clean Marshall-like sound, compared to Marshall heads from the late '70s (a major effort with Marshall amps then was noise reduction/control). In writing this response I tested one of my MS2 micro amps (I use two, for two effects channels then out through the headphone jack for 4 (two left two right) channels to the mixer board), and plugged in my Ovation-Celebrity CC57. I turned the volume of the Celebrity pickup to 10 (the pickup is very weak) and changed the volume on the MS2 from 0 to 10 (first test), and also engaged the OD switch (second test). Without the OD in play the quality of the sound was acceptable, i.e. just a clean acoustic guitar sound. With the OD in play the noise jumps and we get a kind-of Marshall-like sound from the weak pickup. So I can recommend using the Marshall MS2 Micro Amp even with an acoustic (i.e. acoustic-hybrid electric) guitar as a practice amp and as part of an effects system (pre-amp stage). And the MS2 is very inexpensive. Hope that helps.

User questions & answers

Question: If you buy the package with the 103 speaker cab is the delay in stereo
Answer: honestly I've never separated the cabs I Velcro'd it stacked so its like a full stack, lemme go check THEN...................................... OK checked, heres the lo Down.. the chorus is in full stereo meaning it echos in both right and left speakers however its simultaneous and does not PAN left and right like an echoplex or true stereo echo that I could tell? you'll laugh anyways at the chord that comes with the 103, its like 24 inches long.. WHY? its phone plugs so EASY to find old home style phone cables, dunno your age maybe you've never seen one? yea int he day we had our phones connected to a wall outlet with a cable, its like a small like cat5 (rj45 is the standard name) you've seen cat5 its what your computer hooks up to the Ethernet with..all in all its WELL worth it its a GREAT little amp specially with the full stack setup, the echo works FANTASTIC and quite frankly I wish I had one that worked that well on my bigger stuff despite the non stereo panning, I have a Johnson Two Fifty and a Digitech GSP 2101 studio tube for all that stuff, yea man get a Johnson 150 250 or the digitech GSP 2101 if you want true stereo panning, WOW, I work it in QUAD and can dial it in however I like cuz its FULLY programmable with algorithms!!!tell you what tho I have mic's this little Blackstar and IT ROCKS!!! yup, if you have a board that does stereo panning then there ya go! crank n go, funny what I like to do is plug my acoustic into it then mic the Blackstar through the PA and recording or playing live that way SUCH A NICE CRISP CLEAN SOUND because yo don't have all that power in the way stepping on its own dork soaking up all the interference if ya know what I mean, try it you will be totally surprised, typing in this minuscule dialogue box is difficult at best, why so small Amazon?its a great little box (fact I tried em all cept the orange that I'm told is compatable and it smokes them ALL)not sure what you need it to do but for whatever the hunnerd for both is a FANTASTIC deal considering what it can do and the sound that can come out of it... distortion works well too, I love the little thing i use it at the park then in my bedroom so the neighbors can sleep and I don't have to pay finesfor an electric I use a nice 61 Strat that has some really really hot hand wound Gepettos then those run into a FULL Clapton mid boost, the works, yup so that lil boost in signal really makes that Blackstar a beast in its own rights..all in all I give it 10 stars with the other speaker
Question: Is the power supply an authentic blackstar 6.5V or a generic 9v, a 9v not being appropriate for this amp Btw
Answer: Blackstar has their own power supply specifically for this. Amazon sells it on it's own for around $20, and I believe when you buy the 3 pack, the Blackstar power supply comes with it. I can't say for sure, as I bought just the single unit. Save yourself the trouble and buy the 3-pack - the amp on it's own is incredible, and the stack is well worth the price. Just make sure it comes with the proprietary Blackstar power supply.
Question: Can I use the planet waves 9V power adapter
Answer: absolutely not ! The fly 3 runs on 6volts /positive tip . When you buy the fly on amazon, the planet waves adaptor is suggested . My friend bought the fly to his son and pluged it on a 9 volts adapter...... he blew the amp . You may pay a little more but buy the right adapter, it works well and saves batteries
Question: Why is there what appears to be an Ethernet connector just above the power adapter plug
Answer: Yes, for the extension cabinet, which expands this from 3w to 6w. The 3-pack is a good deal, because a) you get better volume but mainly because b) it includes the power supply, which means that c) the extension cabinet is virtually free.

User questions & answers

Question: Does this have delay or reverb
Answer: Yes, I think it would be secure. I have one attached to my desk organizer, which is lightweight metal and it seems secure. The other one I have is attached to my piano music stand, and it is very secure. The clip is really tight, so I think it would work on a metal wire music stand.
Question: How do i turn off distortion? the instructions say to hold eq for 2 seconds. that does not work. it just mutes my guitar
Answer: Not sure, assumed it was a battery issue so used the electric adapter instead. No resolve.
Question: So this is a amp and speaker? Wonder how a ukulele would sound using it
Answer: If you are buying this in late 2017, you're out of luck. The cord is only 38" long as I measure it. This will not reach to any outlet without an extension cord. The manufacturer must have been cutting corners for profit reasons to make it so short.
Question: is the usb just for charging or can it act as a usb interface as well? thank you for your time
Answer: Buy it

User questions & answers

Question: Does it come with a belt clip, if you wanted to walk around it and play your guitar
Answer: No it doesn’t. It would be simple enough to rig it with a clip, a guitar strap, shoestrings, i guess, but it doesn’t come with a belt clip. Provides great sound for such a tiny box!
Question: Can I use a loop pedal with this
Answer: Definitely. I run eight pedals through mine with no issue for over a year. Sounds great too. This little amp is amazing!
Question: Could I use this with my electric ukulele
Answer: yes you can!
Question: Can it plug into a socket
Answer: Yes. But you need to buy the plug to do it separate.
