The Perfect Gift for a Fender Nut
Know someone who lives and breathes vintage Fender gear? Perhaps they even have the Mini '57 Twin's full-sized big brother--lucky them.
No doubt they'll get a kick out of the Mini '57, with its true-to-form tweed covering and brown grille. The controls even boast miniature "chicken head" knobs--the Mini '57 Twin-Amp truly captures the vibe of '50s era Fender.
Great for Practice
Maybe you are that Fender nut. Or maybe you're just looking for an ultra-portable practice solution.
The Mini '57 Twin-Amp gives you one Watt of Fender sound through a 2-inch speaker. Dial it in to your liking with tone, volume and distortion controls.
Battery or AC Powered
Throw in a 9-volt and take this little amp anywhere. With the additional headphone socket you might even get away with a little practice in the jury box.
If you're staying in one spot for awhile, save a battery and use an AC adapter (not included).

Great little amp for quiet practise or headphone monitor, September 21, 2007 By JD "SRV RIP" (SF, CA) - See all my reviews Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Fender Mini '57 Twin-Amp (Electronics) I like to practise my rock and blues late at night and do not want to upset my wife and kids, so I tried a Pocket Rock-it, but found it to crack and snap, very annoying. So I found this affordable option and I am very pleased with the sound. It is only for quiet practise, or as I use it more often, for use with a set a headphones. The required 9v battery is still working after a month of use, probably 15 hours. It sounds great, and for the money there is nothing else out there.
The only suggestion I would have is to provide an option for a mini-jack for headphones so an adapter to the 1/4" receptacle is not needed. But I would definitely highly recommend it for anyone that has similar needs to mine.

Fender Mini-57 Great Little Amp, January 29, 2011 By Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Fender Mini '57 Twin-Amp (Electronics) This is a nice little amp. It has great sound in a small package. I DO want to clarify one thing, so you won't order the wrong accessories. Amazon's site recommended that I order the Danelectro DA-1 power supply with this unit. That power supply works with the Fender Mini-65 and the Danelectro Honeytone amps, which are also nice units, but it is reverse polarity of the Mini-57. After writing to Fender, I learned that the Boss Pedal Adapter is the one to use with this amp. I am going to try one of those. So far though, I am impressed with this as a practice amp, and I like the style of it. Incidentally, I thought my amp wouldn't power up, so I sent for a replacement, and Amazon was very quick with that. I am sending it back, however, since I probably don't need an extra amp of this size. Hopefully, it will keep working great.

I was surprised at how good this small amp actually sounds when I played on it.
Straight out of the shipping box my amp rattled like there was something loose inside the amp itself so I opened up the back and found 1 of the clamps that holds the speakers had came loose inside. I tried to screw the clamp into the same original hole but the particle board had been destroyed in that spot (stripped). I made another hole and reattached the clamp for the speaker, closed the back up again and it plays wonderfully.
For $50+ it sounds fantastic if you don't have to mess with the screws or the cheap particle board construction its great for quiet practice.
Can use batteries or purchase a wall outlet adaptor for it.
