This is a great sounding tiny amp. Really nice for full clean sounds unlike other Hotone Nano heads like the Captain Sunset which I also use and really doesn’t do clean and has some inherent gain hiss during use. The gain on the Siva just gets it into a fatter zone. I’m using a Klon clone before the amp to get some overdrive but it handles all pedals really great. The FX loop works great also I put a pedal delay going into a pedal reverb through the loop, sounds great. Running into a 4-12 cabinet at 8 ohms using a pair of Marshall guitar speakers along with a pair of stereo woofers works great because at 5 watts it fattens the low end and is just super fun to play at lower levels once dialed in. Makes practicing inspiring. YMMV But I’m loving it anyway. Also ordered the Purple Wind for the heck of it. These cost less than most boutique pedals, and are a great little tool. Read full review

This little preamp is powerful and can even push big speaker cabinets! I have several of these. This one has a great clean sound with some overdrive. I use it as a monitor amp for acoustic, electric, and bass guitars. I also use them occasionally as a pedal. I bought one and was so happy that I bought several other versions.

Works good. I wanted a clean solid state amp to use as a pedal platform. Eventually I will want one with more power, but this amp works great for what I spent to get it. Music sounds pretty good through the auxiliary as well, would probably sound better if it wasn’t going through a guitar cab. Overall, a cool little amp for the price.

Extremely compact, clean, headphone out and takes pedals very well; pairs nicely with SSS Tele clone. Aside from a speaker cab for when the neighbours are away, what more could one want from a practice amp? Maybe I've a combo to repurpose.

I love this little amp, but it may not be for everyone. This version of the Hotone is CLEAN. There is ZERO distortion or overdrive happening with this amp even with the gain all the way up. In fact, the gain control seem to have more affect on mid-range response than on gain or volume - almost like a mid-shift or mid-boost. It has great tone for clean playing and for rhythm. And its a great head if you rely on pedals for overdrive or distortion. As long as you like clean - you'll like this one.
