Yep, I agree with surfy - Iv used those little amps before and they should work fine on all settings.

You do have to have the vol cranked right up to hear much on the clean channel though.....

Hi Iggy,

I have had similar miniamps (cheap copy) before and found them to have poor volume on a clean setting. This is a common complaint about the MS2 - a large review database can be found here:

Someone has commented (and I found it also) that trying a new battery can improve the sound (until the battery runs down a bit).
You could try adding another piezo disc to your guitar circuit to see if it makes a difference (cheaper option than adding a preamp).

Regards,
David

Well David, you hit the nail on the head. Even though it was a brand new battery, I plugged in my DC adapter and I got all kinds of sounds out of it. I can't crank it up on OD now without it feeding back.

Thanks for the tip!!!

I agree with Max Georgia, since I have tryed lots of miniamps, I cana only recomend the Roland Micro Cube. It can be battery operated as well as mains, it uses COSM technology that sounds amazing, has severeal amps models that my suit every style. Haven´t tryed yet but maybe would be nice to have an external speaker outbput to test with a 1 x 12" cabinet.
