Really cool to find this video; you connected with me right away by mentioning that you play nylon string almost all the time (so do I; Washburn C64CE and Cordoba Stage). And also looking at your pedal board and seeing a Boomerang 3! I’ve had mine for 10 years; love that thing… thanks for an interesting view of the Loudbox Mini; mine is arriving today, I can hardly wait…
Good review and great playing! I have both the Loudbox Mini and a Fender Acoustasonic 90. I've gone over completely to gigging with the Mini because, as you say, there is a certain mojo to it, plus, the simple reverb and chorus sound much better and smoother than the Fender, despite the many choices for effects the Fender offers.
I've had mine for years and I love it! The only problem is that over time the exterior finish deteriorates. I think it's a design flaw. After searching on-line, I have found that this is a very common occurrence.
Hola...te escribo desde México... Me gustaría comprar el loudbox mini...pero también tocó el bajo electrico...crees que me es útil para ambos instrumentos ❓ Por tu atención gracias ☺️
I’m an amp newbie and have this same loudbox mini amp. Is there a simple answer for preventing that squealing feedback I sometimes get when leaning toward the mic while singing and playing guitar ?
Rolling off a bit of high end eq, make sure the speaker is not angled right at the mic can usually remedy that.....good idea for a video topic. Placement of the mini can help, try different positions and angles
I have one and I like it a lot. Better than amps costing three times as much.But. It is not loud enough for anything but the smallest of venues, if that's what you were hoping for. Not a complaint, that would be very unreasonable. Also, the DI out is mic level, not line. I think that would have been better.
Another reason: Controls on the front!!! Im old school, and prefer that when I want to change settings I can actually see the knobs. On a dark stage when you wanna quickly adjust or deal with something, I find it an advantage to be able to see the controls that I need to adjust. Being old school, Im not quite understanding how placing them out of sight is an advantage, but hey thats just me!
Possibly one of the best reviews for this gear- reviewer showed the actual gear performing in a live environment and not in some room in a guitar shop studio.
so im confused, is it battery and mains or is that the mini charge? I really need one that does both battery and can be plugged in mains. it also needs to be light, with clear/ loud vocals. Is this the right one for me?

Dean, thanks for the review.
I found a ©LOUDBOX mini at a thrift store. Cost me $25.00 and it was in perfect operational condition. The vinyl was well warn, but the metal finish was perfect and unscratched. Can't believe this was passed over by other shoppers. And did I mention it only cost $25.00.00!!!!!!! LOVE this thing with my Taylor!
Wow, jealous at your savings
Thank you for this great review

I love how portable it is
Thank you, very helpful in making the decision to get one!
I've never regretted owning it!
Thank you for making it quick and packing in so much opinion and information. Some people spend 20 minutes just talking about nothing.
That's a great compliment thanks
Dood! you played 39 Days of July Festival in Duncan! Love the vid. Stumbled upon it as I am deciding whether I want one or not. thanks for the review!
It's a Small World After All

I agree
Hi Dean. What guitar are you playing there with the nylon strings? Sounds great.
Godin nylon multiac duet
Dean...what do you think about a lesson on" can utility and the coastliners? Or the lead on firth of fifth?
Firth of fifth, sure. Not familiar utility, will look up

No he probado el bajo a través de él. En un entorno pequeño como un pequeño café, sin duda podría hacer eso.

Dean Wolfe thank you so much for your reply. I will definitely try your suggestions. 😊
Can you plug in headphones to amp
No
Can you use this with an acoustic bass?
I would think it could work, but not ideal

what about the bluetooth capability?
That's a later version of this amp. I don't have that feature on mine.
hi there ive got same amp and i want it to use on dj mixin decks as a monitor do i have to use aux input or di output ? thanks
I would think use the aux input should be good
@@deanwolfechannel ohh ok cause i need a order the cable digital decks output is red and white ,thanks

makes sense
Good reviews but would you please consider not having that goofy circus music in the background trust me it's very annoying
agreed.
Nice review but would like to hear it without the band.
Fair enough. It was a bit of an experiment in style.
Possibly one of the best reviews for this gear- reviewer showed the actual gear performing in a live environment and not in some room in a guitar shop studio.
Thanks for your appreciation!
Thanks for the review. Which battery do you recommend? Mine doesn't have the battery built-in.
This isnt a battery powered one, so I dont know, sorry
so im confused, is it battery and mains or is that the mini charge? I really need one that does both battery and can be plugged in mains. it also needs to be light, with clear/ loud vocals. Is this the right one for me?
great for vocals as well, yes. Have used it live for that and am pleased. This is not the battery version- but it's identical more or less
Dean Wolfe Thankyou, I decided to buy one !
