Mini guitar amps rock your inner guitar hero

Marshall1.jpgWho doesn't want to be a rock star? Anyone? Didn't think so. Now, you can make it a reality with this series of functioning mini amplifiers, modeled after the real powerhouses your fav guitar hero uses.

The Marshall half-stack and Orange Crush are great little practice amps, both with a headphone output so you can practice discretely. They run either on a 9V battery or AC power. The Marshall won't shake any walls with its 2-watt output, but it's better than nothing. The Orange has 3 watts of power for its 4-inch speaker. A bit nicer.

The US Blues amp has a guitar input, but also adds a miniplug input, so you can hook up any MP3 player and rock out. Its 4-inch speaker is powered by a 4-watt amplifier. Still nothing ground-rattling, but still better than an air guitar.

The prices range from $60 for the US Blues amp to $72 for the Orange Crush.

For those about to rock, we salute you.

I paid $39.99 for my mini-Marshall about a month ago. I love it. It's perfect for practicing without waking the neighbors.

The US blues and Orange are new, but the mini marshall has been around for ages, I'm talking decades. My guitarist had one back in highschool and I'm in my 30's now...

Guess that people take notice of the amp now because of rockband guitarhero etc
