- You would like a practice amp that goes with the type of music that you like "rock and R&B would go well with this bass-heavy practice amp.
- You find yourself shuffling backwards and forwards between audition halls, your room (for more practicing), spur of the moment performances or even little, company gigs. Then this practice amp would be your all-in-one best chum to take around with you wherever you go.

Think about another type of amplifier if

You aren't keen on the heavy-bass sound since this amplifier has a tendency to add more base to its audio output.

You want an even smaller practice amp that will literally fit in your messenger or body bag.

You just want a basic, straightforward amplifier that you can easily bring with you wherever you go (and you need it to be a bit cheaper, too).

You need a lighter practice amp since you will be walking around almost all of the time and don't have the advantage of having an automobile trunk to stow almost all of your things in.
