Hey everyone! Caline sent this amplifier to me at no charge in exchange for my honest review. Right off the bat there is an improved quality of the overall tone, volume, and the lunch box form factor is far more appealing. I hope the microphone audio samples give you a good idea of what this amp sounds like!

I did use new audio and video equipment to make this video. While I did run into some setting issues with my vocal microphone having some white noise hiss, the SM57 clone mic for the amplifier was left un-altered and is a clear take of the amplifier's tone. I'll be sure to refine my setup for the next review! New gear always has a learning curve!

Keep in mind the input stage is not optimized for active bass guitar pickups and/or EQ. Smaller speakers inherently do not reproduce low bass frequencies well. Turning down your overall volume is a great way to compensate for this, or if you have a bass EQ knob you can cut those frequencies a bit to prevent distortion.

The Bluetooth noise issue should be solved before they hit the market. If not its a simple capacitor addition, a 1000uF/16V electrolytic cap. If you have any problems, Caline has contact info below, or you can reach out to me. I Beta test for Caline and I can field your questions/issues to my contact. Anything I can do to help!
