KickAMP? Kickass!

Every once in a while one makes a random and not so thought out purchase that turns out to be fabulous. It could be a cheap little thing that lies around, used only a few times a month, but man does it make those few times enjoyable!

*Swings the spotlight around*


It reminds of a strip from Archie... Where Veronicas dad is complaining about the size of her new bikini and she responds with "A small bikini is a bikini thats smaller than the price tag"

Well, the KickAmp is smaller than its power adapter. Its got detachable speaker plugs, which makes it very easy to connect with speakers (you can just carry two not to long speaker wires around between your venues with the plugs always attached and pop them into the main body when setting up) and has a standard 3.5mm jack input (read headphone jack).

So why blog about it? Because when i was looking for a small amp for garden parties and as an accompaniment to a pico projector, I found nothing about any of the micro amps in the market online! So I went ahead and bought the KickAmp anyway.

Its loud, 40W or not, for 50 people in my garden to enjoy with 30 year old philips speaker (sweet sounding, i'll never change them) and an iPod pumping out the tunes at about half the volume. Turn it up and the neighbors complain!

Need a small amp for those garden parties and farmhouse retreats (not that we do any of the latter)?
Buy it!
