Fender Mini Deluxe Guitar Amp Review

9.1

When you are looking at 1 watt travel amps, especially the battery powered kinds, you should temper your expectations.  The negative reviews I found on these amps do not take in mind that this amp cost less than $50 and is powered by a 9volt battery.  When used for having an amp small enough to put in a backpack to write ideas and practice with, you have a good little amplifier to work with when using the Fender Mini Deluxe Electric Guitar Amp.

The Fender Mini Deluxe Electric Guitar Amplifier is an ideal amplifier for the traveling guitar player that needs a low wattage, affordable guitar amp on the go.

This 1 watt, single channel guitar amp really pushes the boundaries of what a one watt guitar amp can be. Designed to replicate the look of the classic Fender Deluxe guitar amp, the Fender Mini Deluxe Electric Guitar Amplifier has an authentic Fender look and feel that can fit under a car seat. With the “dogbone” handle, “chicken head” knobs and chrome control plate, the look of the Fender Deluxe full size amplifier is replicated to preserve the vibe that makes Fender such a popular brand.

Unexpected for such a small, single watt guitar amp, the Fender Mini Deluxe comes equipped with dedicated tone, volume and gain controls with dual 2″ speakers. The 9V adapter jack allows for guitar players to make music on the go without need to find a place to plug in the amplifier.

Intended mostly for practice and travel, the 1/4″ headphone jack provides the guitarist the choice of filling the room with sound or having a quiet practice session.

PROS
  • This tiny amp can fit anywhere. My guitarist on my last run brought one for practice and it fit under a seat to where we forgot it was even in the van.
  • The battery powered feature eliminates the need for needing outlets which allows a guitarist to shed anywhere.
CONS
  • It's a cheap amp, made with cheap parts and can get damaged easily.
  • Not very powerful, but what can you expect from a 1 watt amp?
