Buying Guide: The 4 Best Mini “Pocket” Guitar Amplifiers Right Now
Pocket amplifiers are perfect for anyone who needs to hear the sound of their electric or acoustic-electric guitar but doesn’t want any amplification. With a pocket amplifier, your guitar will sound loud to you via headphones, but everyone else will just hear the light “plunk” of your guitar without any extra noise.
Pocket amps are great for:
- When you want to play disturbing your neighbors or family.
- Traveling with your electric guitar.
- Warming up backstage when you can’t make a lot of noise.
