i just got one the other day and im having so much fun with it no more waiting on tubes to warm up or cool down. lol first thing i did was ad a 1/4" jack and run it to a single 10 cab and im runing a fab od in front of it when i want to dirty it up a bit. btw im not much onthe gain knob but if you crank it all the way up it gives some nice od tones.

I'm sold on the little Honeytones, so much so that I offer the little amps to my customers along with the clip on "mics" as a kit ,so when they purchase 1 of my instruments which I build now days as acoustic only they have the option to be "lectric" or not.
I use one as a demonstrator,with my instruments so they get to hear each instrument at its best.They frequently buy the whole package so we have to order the amps by the case now.
People are amazed at the volume these little gizmos can turn out.
I bought one about a year ago mostly for harmonica but the CBG's sound killer through them.
I run my CBG's thru a "corned Beef reverb and then thru the Honeytone for my demos here at the shop.It makes for a killer sound going down the hall in the mall here and draws a crowd quick like.
I've got one that I play a Danelectro DC3 through, it's great. I just keep it in the case with the guitar for camping or whatever.
I bought one for my Dad to take camping with his CBG. It aint no Roland Cube or Micro Crush, but they just "belong" together with a CBG. Next best thing to a homemade CBG amp...
I bought one too. Not only do I like the cool retro look of the thing (I got the mint-green one) but they sound great.

I finally broke down and bought the power-source though, you could go broke buying 9-volt batteries. The only thing I'd wish for is a line-out plug.
Got one for my mom and her (soon to be) CBG for Christmas. Nice little amp for personal use.
Where'd ya get the power supply from? Any good sources?

Hey guys try adding a 1/4" jack to it and running it though a big speaker if you like it out of the box you will be amazed at what it does with a real speaker.

i would love a orange crush 10 or a roland micro cube but for 12 bucks off ebay thats shipped it is a great little amp i was just so excited i had to share.

I got mine from the same place I bought the amp, Guitar Center. I think you can order 'em online from Danelectro's site too.
Have you ever tried running a blues breaker or blues pedal through it? I'm getting myself a Honeytone, but I'm really curious about improving the sound to make even "dirtier".
