Intentions
I bought this Mini Headphone amp with the intention of having band practices with it.
We didn't really have a place to jam, so I had to find a way to do it quietly, and my drummer already had a digital drumset.
The one barrier we ran into, was that the headphone amp only has one input, and when you have 3 instruments that need to plug in...
Jumping the Hurdle
In the end the problem was fixed by using a mixer, combined with the Behringer HA400.
I used the digital mixer from the Bose L1 system that my brother owned, and everything turned out perfect.
My Complaints
My only complaint is that stupid power cable. I mean, it has a little bit of tension when you try and pull it out, but barely any at all.
The easiest way to fix that problem would be to screw on one of those curved metal pieces that holds you cord on and protects it from being ripped out of your socket. It would have been nice if they put one on in the first place though.
Conclusion
Overall I think the amp is worth buying if you need to buy one, seeing as though the only thing wrong with it is the loose power jack which can easily be fixed (mentioned above).
Another plus is the price, which really can only be beat by one or two other amps on the market, which are no-name brands.
Gorillaz is a super classic band, and for a good reason. With some of the best combinations of electronic music, featuring artists from Mos Def, to MF Doom, it's a really incredible band.
Their newest album, "The Fall", was even recording entirely on an iPad! I highly recommend they become an integral part to your music library, and I've been listening to them for the last month straight (Religiously).
