The Tino Mini Amp by Artec packs plenty of punch for its size! Measuring just 3.12” (d) x 6” (w) x 5.4” (h) and weighing only 800g, the Tino manages to squeeze a massive 5 Watts out of its 9V battery- most other battery powered amps can only manage 1 Watt!
Unlike other mini amps that come with cheap plastic cases, the Tino features solid wood casing on the front and a steel panel on the rear. This greatly improves the sound of the amp, with the solid wood allowing for a clean and clear resonance.
These amps retail at around £89 on the High Street, so grab yourself a bargain by purchasing directly from Get Musical!

On design alone it should get five stars, it's very beautiful. Yet on volume, I would definitely give it no stars. I swear you can crank this bad boy and the baby would be quietly asleep. With headphones it sounds like a broken overdriven amp. But I love it because it's very cute and you can use it as a preamp. I was without an amp and my music store only had this to offer. I like it, but it would make more sense to buy something a little better, louder, and quiet possibly w/reverb. On the positive side this amp fell and still works like a charm.
