VALETON Guitar Headphone Amplifier Multi Effects Pocket Rechargeable Mini Practice Amplifier Rushead Max (Include 2 Additional Guitar Picks)

I can’t actually verbalize how much utility this has and how worth the money it is. I can literally walk around the house and practice and this helps so much more than being confined to a designated practice spot. I can literally set up anywhere anytime! Sometimes when heading to a lesson or to a friend’s house I’ll take a portable speaker and plug it into this and I have a usable practice amp. The sound quality is better than most and there’s a lot of diversity in tones and effects for what it is. Build quality is decent nothing to complain about a month into it. Would make a perfect gift idea imo.

I'm only starting to learn to play guitar so to my ears the product produces very good sound quality, and I don't have a highr end guitar. I tried some of the effects and they also sound good and the usage is very intuitive. I play ~20 minutes a day and so far din't even need to recharge it. I'm giving it 4 starts because it was supposed to include 2 picks but it had none.

Alright. We know this won’t compete with tube amps or ultra nice pedal boards but transport yourself back to your first week of strumming E chords and faking an F chord. Nobody (including myself) wanted to hear that and this gives the perfect device for enough audio feedback of places to improve while also inspiring progress. Controls are all responsive and do what you’d expect. Gain and volume seem to be nearly identical on all but the clean channel. Delay and reverb all function nice enough for a practice unit. No audiophile perfect tap tempo stuff, but you get a feel for what’s possible. Modulations are all really nice and at moderate values for depth and rate. Blend is controlled by the mod knob. Then the switch for the three modes is nicely executed. Clean was very clean and distortion reminded me of a rat pedal. Overdrive was probably closest to a DS1 or TS808. Only nitpicky complaints: micro usb instead of usb c, not a bendable input jack (no issue on a strat as shown), bringing tone up seems to add some noise to the circuit (less than 60 cycle hum) and is not Bluetooth. For 40, this far exceeds the abilities of vox mini amps.

I wasn't sure what to expect and was pleasantly surprised by the quality and sound. Our teen center uses this, and others for our guitar players. Charging works well and there's no need for batteries!

Bought this to use instead of using an amp for late at night. All I can say is wow, love this. The range of sounds is great with being able to "Mix" levels of the effects together. With Distortion on, Chorus and Rev + Delay it sounds like 80's Hairband guitar tone in stereo in your headphones. Almost like a Rockman type sound. Plugging the headphone out into my small practice amp looses some of the quality because not stereo amp and overall thinner sounding. I now use this more than the practice amp because of how fun it is, trying to figure out which pedals I need to add to get close to this sound with my practice amp.

This review is based on use with a Taylor acoustic/electric guitar compared with the Flamma Fx10. Pros: 5 hour battery life. Easier to use. Better low-battery indicator. Cons: weaker bass frequencies. Less amp modeling choices. Over-drive and distortion levels too intense to be useful (at least on the Taylor). I prefer the Flamma for its better tone, but after 5 months of use, the on/off switch broke leaving me to question its design quality. For the price, the RushHead is an adequate replacement.

I picked this up since I live in an apartment and am a beginner on the guitar. I have an inexpensive guitar to learn on that also came with a small amp. I really don't use the amp, even though it has a headphone jack. I'd prefer to use something like this since it's extremely portable. This thing gives you a lot of effects in one small package. For a beginner, it's pretty much perfect. Clean sound, overdrive, distortion, flanger, delay, and others...all in this little thing. Plug it into your guitar jack, plug your headphones into it, and have fun playing around with different sounds. It is USB rechargeable as well, and has a good battery life. For those who want to know...yes, it fits into a Stratocaster jack (I have a Strat copy). Although, it does take up a bit of room over the body. If you don't want to be accidentally hitting it with your hand or tremelo arm, get a short cord extension for that kind of jack, and find a way to hook it onto your strap...or get a long extension so you can set it on top of something nearby while you're playing.

This thing broke on me six weeks after receiving it. I didn't do anything to abuse it. I mean, how does one abuse this anyway? I plugged it into my guitar, then I unplugged it. That's all I did for a few days a week for six weeks, and look at my photos. When it was working, I really liked it. I contacted customer service for the company, but I haven't received a response, so all I can say is, while it's working, it was a great little device (especially for the price) that inspired me to play. I just hope you have better luck with the build quality than I did. Maybe I just got unlucky, but I certainly can't recommend this, nor would I purchase from them again.
