Best value for money portable amp
Best value for money portable amp. For the price you get loud amp for its size and portability, well built casing, built in looper, drum machine, connectivity with phone via bluetooth, switch pedal to control looper and switch between preset / current settings and most important, built in battery that gets charged with power cable, so you can use it without any power supply which is great considering alternative small portable amps are working cordless only through 6xAA batteries.
Some things to consider before buying:
The range of drum machines tap tempo could have been bigger, in terms of minimum bpm that you can set, after using it for a while I've realized that it is not possible to set very slow tempo.
One other thing that I've noticed is that there are around 36 beats but knob that you can rotate to choose the beat has around 24 clicks before it makes full circle which means that you'll have a hard time finding the beat that you've liked since there is no guidance or display to show you what beat you're currently listening to.
Regardless of cons, I still think it is great equipment, combine this amp with guitar wireless system and you can jam where ever you want. 10/10

Joyo DC-15S - Brilliant!!
This little amp is just what I have been looking for - all you need in one box! no cables on the floor - no plug in power supplies for pedals etc.
The range of tones available is excellent, another bonus is that you can use without it being plugged into the mains! The built in effects are very good as is the drum machine. My only boxed not ticked is a built in tuner. A very good little amp well done Thomann

Great little rockin amp!
Having recently bought a new guitar I decided to get a practice amp with a looper and built in drum rhythms. This looked perfect for the price. Great selection of differnt guitar sounds and effects.
Would highly recommend getting one than just a standard metronome. Yiu cant stop jamming when you get the drum bests going!

All as described
All as described. It did come supplied with only a Euro plug; not suitable for the UK. But a minor niggle. It would also benefit from a carry case option, as it's rather heavy, and awkward to carry with the handle in a rack mount like configuration

A superb practice amp
Have had the pleasure of using this machine daily since January '23.
Use it for practice at home, small jams in pubs and as a Bass amp (!) for a uke workshop in a small hall. It stands the test of time for my needs.
The thing is built like a bullion box, 4.5 kilos so not difficult to transport.
The handles are a bit strange and slightly ungainly, but at least they won't wear or rip off when you don't want them to.
The modulation suite is a bit basic giving you only 2 at once but adequate and pleasing.
Amp type choice is the standard range, acoustic through to death metal, the first 3 or 4 are all I need though.
The Amp type selection 1 to 10 is a little mystifying, not much difference between 1 and 10.
Gain and volume work normally, high gain does have a bit of an annoying over fuzz, but you'll be OK if metal is your ting.
2 channels switched by button 1 on the footswitch (included, Boss are you listening?) so easy changeover on the go, plus it saves the settings when you switch off.
Drum unit is OK, probably only half of the 32 rhythms you will ever use and there's only trial and error in finding where they are on a rotary dial the goes round twice, fun searching though!
Power saving works overtime, goes to sleep if there's no signal in 4 minutes, seems to turn the amp settings down if there's nothing happening for a while and you sometimes have to touch the gain knob to wake it up, but the battery is good, 4 or more hours before it's exhausted, longer if you're moderate with the volume, brilliant.
With all this they throw in a looper, button 2 on the footswitch, standard looper operation, pretty good and synced with the rhythm unit, but it doesn't record the drums(?) downside is it's only 30 seconds, 60 would have been nicer.
Everywhere I use it it blows other players away for it's sound quality and variety, astonished at its power and volume for a 15W.
I use mainly electro acoustic and it's brilliant at that even though it's not declared as an "acoustic" amp it does have a pretty good range, even sounds great using a bass uke.
Wouldn't be without it.

Ideal practice amp
I'm delighted with this amp. The tones are clear and rich - not as good as a valve amp, obviously, but fine for learning and practice. I particularly enjoy jamming with the drums and looper, which was the reason I chose it. The preset system is better than I had expected. It is effectively a two channel amp, with the ability to save the settings of both channels as presets.
