Hodad Has Hidden Potential, January 13, 2009 By Hull "gadget freakolla" (Orland, FL USA) - See all my reviews This review is from: Danelectro DH1 Hodad Mini Amp (Electronics) OK.....I am an adult. But I have serious "Gadget Fetish." Few things make me smile like little electronic trinkets and senseless battery powered "stuff." Being a lifelong musician, this only adds to the addiction. I own several battery powered mini amps and couldn't resist the temptation to buy the new Danelectro Hodad!
The box came today and I quickly unleashed it from the package. The box is attractive and whimsical, using a lot of "retro" fonts to highlight the features, such as *Powerful Mini Amp for Practice or Back Stage Tune Up*....*Twin Speakers*...*Cool Echo Effect*...Vintage Tremolo with Adjustable Speed*...*Cool 60's Styling.
The Hodad is really small....really small! Probably 4 inches tall by maybe 4 1/2 inches wide. It is a bit smaller than the popular Danelectro Honeytone battery amp, which I also have.
The little unit shipped with a battery and small, comical instruction booklet. I inserted the battery and grabbed my Strat and held my breath as... Read more

Big sound in such a little amp!, November 14, 2010 By Jace5280 (Colorado) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Danelectro DH1 Hodad Mini Amp (Electronics) I've read reviews where people say that it doesn't sound great, and they are half correct. When you DON'T use headphones, the 2.5" speakers sound like, well, 2.5" speakers.
Using headphones is where this amp shines.
I'm using it with a power adapter, my Danelectro '63 re-issue, and the tone in this little thing is amazing!
I live in an apartment, and this amp is perfect for early morning/late night practicing. I really like the echo effect, it gives a real slap back rockabilly sound.
People who are expecting this amp to be a real "practice amp" for use with other musicians have got it all wrong.
If you need something to plug into where you can practice without disturbing others, then this amp is for you!

I didn't really need one, so it had to have something else to grab me. I saw Amazon has this amp for almost half the price of other common vendors so I got it.
All right, there are 2" speakers. This isn't a good practice amp if you play doom metal on a baritone guitar. None of these little battery powered amps are going to get you where you want for that, you need to step up to a regular practice amp at least. For styles of music that don't need immense low end or gain this fits the bill. It will do the trick for small jams with another person or two (a pianist and harmonica player in my case). I don't note any difference in sound between using the battery and the AC adaptor, but apparently plugging in gives it more power (and is recommended as the effects can kill batteries in a heartbeat). The sound itself is great for a mini or even a practice amp, it cleans up well even when maxed out, and the tone control... Read more
