Vox DA5 1x6.5'' 5 watt Combo

The Vox DA5 is a great practice amp and a great busking amp in the tradition of the Pignose. Only it has about a zillion more features than a Pignose. It runs either on 6 C batteries or on its handy AC adapter. It features a wide array of effects ( wah, reverb, chorus, etc) and several different (digital modeling) voices. It costs a little more than the ubiquitous 10 watt practice amps, but the sheer fun of it makes it worth saving a little longer. Check it out. You'll love it.

I really enjoy the Vox DA5 and have been researching battery powered amps quite a while. This particular one caught my eye because of the price, which was about half the going price of simply getting it from the local Guitar Center. I am a semi-professional musician with tons of equipment already, but I needed something for busking on the streets where it is unlikely to find electricity.I play several different instruments, guitar, banjo, mandolin and uke thru this unit (one at a time, of course)along with a mic. It's quite portable and loud enough to catch the attention of passersby. Sound quality is good too. I've been doing this for thirty years and play all styles, rock, country,jazz,etc.. It has been a great purchase, I highly recommend it!

I love this amp, has tons of effects and great distortion at low volume.The amp is decent weight. This amp is a great deal. The sound can get really loud(house wise). It has distortion, clean, wah wah effects, delay, what more can you ask for??

This is a great little amp. I usually run it at its lowest 1.5 watt setting which is plenty for small jams. I run it on batteries quite a bit and haven't had to replace them yet. I'm hoping the 20+ hour spec is correct. It has a great sound. A very good clean settings and lots of good distortion and effects settings. The only shortcoming, is that when you program a setting, delay for instance, when you switch to another effect, and then back to the delay, it no longer has your settings. Fortunately, it's easy to adjust the settings.

This is a great little amp.
I've used it in blues festival campgrounds on batteries to play Harmonica and even bass through.
Our guitar player's amp smoked a capaciter at a gig recently so we hooked up my Vox and no one could tell the difference, it really saved the gig.
I loaned it to a flautist friend who wanted to experiment with effects and she fell in love with it.
Lots of sound and flexibility in a small package.
