- I apologize.... I lost all of the video on the amp through the 2nd speaker cab with pedals🙄🤬
it still wasn't great but a big improvement from the stock speaker for sure!
I had seen that and wondered. I was thinking it was just as you found it. If my mustang lll ever goes, I'm looning at the GTX50 Fender.
Hey J! Bummer on the amp, bud. Thanks for sharing, though. Better luck next time!
Yeah thanks!
Really nice looking amp. Too bad it doesn't sound as good as it looks 😕
Gonna blow a 50 amp fuse!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Hahahaha not with this thing. 🤪
Now you re talkin!
I paid $175 , new in box for my Fender Mustang II. I was smart to buy it is usable on stage and very capable. It was Fenders second run after that they changed and prices jumped up.
Cool. And great price, but here in Canada it's more than double that😕
man that one is banannas!
didnt know what else to say lol!
i got the "orange" coolmusic 15watt amp on ebay last fall and can say its really a sweet lil amp!
it has a built in rechargeable battery and bluetooth on it...reverb sounds more like delay but its useable...
sweet thing is its portable as hekk and delivers some great sound! im not convinced its really 15watts tho...i think ill make a film on this one.....think i should?
forgot to mention i paid a tad over 65USD for this....
Sounds cool... Didn't see that one here in Canada... The one I got here is definitely going back EL-Sucko! Hahaha
Any gear video is a good video haha
Go for it!
I've got nothing but good things to say about my Coolmusic BP 40D busking amp! Well, actually, the power brick failed after about a year of almost daily use, but it was easily replaced.
Great man good to know! I'm sure I just got a defective one!🤔
@@j-man9457 if you head over to Shatner's hairpiece channel, you can see him rocking out with one. I figured if it was good enough for him, it would work for me. I'm busking electric with it on some of the shorts on my channel as well. Definitely surprised that their guitar amp was a fail!
Sounds ok, looks good, way under powered though for sure. Ide say fifteen watts max. I have a 30 watt Rogue I run a Boss GT-8 through with an upgraded 12" speaker that is loud enough to play outside with a whole band and I can't turn it past 40%. Its ugly though and I use the FX return only. Just power section. Embarrassing to look at but totally surprises everyone. I had to squeeze the speaker in barely. Tiny but mighty. Good stuff subscribed now. Keep em coming.
Thanks man!
Super great review! Sounds Great.. NOT!😱😱My advice, send it back!
Thx J for your dedication to All things guitar!!
Yeah this thing falls short for sure!
Damn J-man, get you a 200 watter 😂
Haha may just have to!
It’s likely that they are trying to pass off the power *consumption* rating, as if it was the output rating. They are both rated in watts, but an amp that draws 50 watts from the AC outlet only puts out a fraction of that.
Definitely seems like this is the case or I just got a bad one🤔
Yeah my 2 W Emery with 1930 radio tubes and and a tube rectifier.....blows this away......class A single ended....
Of course I run into 15w blue celestion alnico.....which costs more than this amp!
Yup this thing is junk! Hahaha
You would have been better of buying a Tank-G pedal, version II. Would have actually been worth the money and way more usable. Amazon amps suck, I made that mistake once with a little orange practice amp. It was garbage.
Well not a big deal as I didn't keep it.... Was just curious and it's a great looking amp. Just doesn't deliver!
Watt measurement isn’t the same for a processing sold state amp it’s like using Watts for light bulb to measure luminosity. I do agree the perception is it should be loud and it also doesn’t make sense since solid state requires less power.
Yeah I understand about the variables on Wattage as Volume. It will differ for sure. But yes the consensus is with any amp marketed at 50 watts, that it's going to be decently loud. This one is definitely not loud hahaha. Even the speaker does not have a rating printed on it🤔
It looked like a Traynor from a distance.
Yeah your right! Haha
when fender made their tonemaster princeton reverb which is the solid state version of the 12 watt tube version they had to make it 50 solid state watts to have the same output as the 12 watts tube original princeton reverb .. so when guys say a watt is a watt no matter what ask em why they did that ..and what you'll get is duhh uhh eeeeeeeeeeeee........ so no ss is not the same as tube watts ..they're fine for what they are and some of em even sound kinda good .. but they ain't even half as loud .. i have a an old ampeg jet .. 15 watts .. i have a crate dxb which was their version of the line 6 flextone .. 30 watts with a closed back 12 inch speaker ..and it cannot keep up with the 15 watt jet .. i also had the 60 watt version of the dx called the dx jr ..and that one mighta been able to hang with the jet .. maybe .. great effects tho so i do like the dx baby .. its just not made to hang with a 15 watt tube amp like say a blues jr .. or a pro jr .. but for hangin in the livin room its fine .. just don't ever expect a ss to match a tube amp .. if you go by the princeton you need 4 times the ss watts to match the 12 tube watts .. with other ss amps ehh ..your milage may vary but it will probably be in that 3 to 4 times as many ss watts to hang with a real tube amp ..just how it is .. remember the peavey bandits ?? like 65 ss watts and you could gig with em ..lottsa dudes did back in the late 70's and 80's .. i think they did up em to 75 watts tho at some point and that version could probably hang with a deluxe reverb 22 tube watts .. but i wouldn't expect much more from it .. hope that helps ..
Sorry missed this comment somehow!
Thanks, and yes I realize the difference however at 50watts, and full volume, you shouldn't be able to talk over it hahaha. I have a 25 watt Quilter superblock that will overpower a drummer easily with a single 12 inch cab at 1/2 volume. This should at least do that at 50 watts no?🤔
100 and 120W Class A/B Solid State is ear deafening loud, class D needs quite a lot more to get there, like 600-700W.
It comes down to the design, try a SuperCrush 120 or PedalBaby 100 and then tell me that they can’t keep up with a 100W Tubehead.
We play with a very loud drummer, Volume 11 o’clock with the signal going into the powersection at unity gain is enough on a PedalBaby going to 2 x 16ohm cabs (8ohm total load).
Not the lightest solution, but lighter than most big ampheads.
Tried an older Randall head some time ago, it can also get loud but with the total load down at 4ohm, which where it’s max. W. is taken from.
That 50W Coolmusic might be 50W at lower impedance, but I would just return it anyway, since they probably didn’t include which loads the power section is able to take, something that always should checked before connecting other cabs and speakers.
@@JoeBaermann yes sir! Totally right and yes I did return it! 😀
Definitely not a Quilter, lol. I have a 2watt Vox Night Train head and that thing can push a 4x12 cab with no problem. It is a tube head but I would think 50 solid state watts would be as loud or louder than this little head.
Yeah one would think! You should definitely not be able to speak over it when it's maxed lol!
I think you may have got a bad one. They make a 25 watt versuon, and a gent who reviewed it had a sound meter. He got a high of about 95 dbs. He never said anything about it being quiet. I think your amp sounds good and certainly you are a fine guitar player. He returned his 25 water due to a hum.
Hmmm interesting, maybe there is an output transformer power issue in this one🤔
And you know what? Mine hums too whether pedals are connected or not. So perhaps I received a defective unit???!
I can confirm this report, I tried one out, unusually quiet for the rating. 95 decibels is closer to the minimum volume of most guitar amps than maximum
@@404err0r thanks!
Well you can say it works! To be honest it would do a guy like me just fine. Afterall Happy Birthday would sound fine. I'm not talking Uriah Heeps Magicians Birthday, just the everyday Happy Birthday to You. LOL My $40 used 30 Watt Marshall has more oomph. Wait, did I give this an Amazon review.
Definitely a usable amp, just not for band use!
Is there a full stop between the 5 and zero haha😂
There must be! 5.0 watts would explain what I'm hearing hahaha!
LOL That thing sux! Hahaha I bought one of these Cool Music amps 2 or 3 years ago. A 40W job. Sort of a wedge style type deal. Almost like a stage monitor. I got it for sue with my elecetronic drums, keyboards. Whatever. Also tried running a little rig through it. One of those Fly Rig type deals.. but a cheaper model. Anyway, using it all 3 ways...... it totally SUCKED!!! LOL A piece of junk.
Yup I have to agree! It's junk hahaha!
Oh Jesus
Quite the opposite with this amp hahaha!
Tone not bad but volume is definitely weak for 50 watts
I have a 10 watt Yamaha THR10 that's louder than that amp! The Coolmusic amp sounds good but it doesn't have thd volume that it should have for a 50 watt... no way...
Yeah I agree 100% either these are rated way above their actual power rating or there's something wrong with mine! 😕
It’s obviously a solid state amp right? 50 Wt ss amp is way different than a 50Wt tube amp.
Yeah but my Quilter Solid State 25watt superblock will over power the drummer in my band with no issues.... This at 50watts should at least do the same no?

All comes down to design.
Solid State does not equal less powerfull, we are just used to too many designs that are cheaped out.
Plus that it is so easy to write a meassured wattage without including the load.
For about $50 more you can get a Katana 50. Why wouldn’t you?
Here in PEI a Katana 50 costs 437$ after taxes. This thing was 184$ to my door. Almost 2.5 times less.
Not sure where you live that a Katana 50 is only $234 to your door but it's not PEI Canada that's for sure hahaha!
Prices here are ridiculous!
@@j-man9457 Just got one from amazon for $239 in colorado.
either some thing is wrong or it is a big scam i have little 10 watt amps i plug into a 12 inch speaker, and it is twice that volume. Sorry this happened send it back
Oh yeah it went back... Not a scam, it's a great looking and nicely built amp. The power rating on mine didn't measure up... Must have been a bad output transformer🤔
You got a dud. Something is wrong. Should be much louder. Return it and get a new one. That's not normal.
Yeah I agree something isn't right!
@@j-man9457 my 10w vox pathfinder was walking up the neighbors. Either get that amp checked out or replace it. I've heard others give good reviews of that. For a SS amp it isn't bad. When it works.
That “Reverb” is obviously not a spring reverb… Heck, it’s not even decently implemented as a digital effect-it sounds more like a digital delay on steroids… It’s seriously HORRIBLE!!!! I hate to say it, but this is clearly a JUNK product. Even if they are cheating in their marketing by using 50 watts PEAK instead of RMS, 50 watts peak should still be loud enough that you couldn’t be heard casually talking over it that way! Even my old 1980’s Peavey Backstage Plus, at 35 watts, is far louder than that. If you’re looking for a cheap amp for band practice, you might be better off getting something like a used Peavey Backstage Plus… GREAT mid-sized amp, if you don’t mind cleaning the pots in it, which isn’t too hard to do. There’s also the Peavey Bandit (65-80 watts, depending on which version you get), if you need more volume for your band practice-that’s a real classic! I don’t know if Monoprice is available in Canada, but they make a decent 40 watt solid state amp, too.
Yeah I was just curious to see if anybody the claims were true and the fact that it's a brand new unit made the price too good to pass up.😀
Most likely, the “50 watts” designation is the listed power consumption.
@@darwinsaye hahaha yeah it consuming so much of it, there's none left for the speaker hahaha!
@@darwinsaye You know, you could very well be right-maybe they used the Input Power as the source of their 50 watt claim… In the pictures on their Amazon listing, I don’t see any actual specs anywhere, just “Unique 50 / 50 Watt Guitar Amplifier” printed on the back, so it’s entirely possible. Regardless, it’s still dishonest marketing, as it doesn’t give a true idea of what kind of output one can expect from it. The Input Power should ALWAYS be a bit higher than either the Max Output OR the RMS Output ratings, owing to the conversion losses, switching losses, and various other energy losses typical in these kinds of circuits. Bottom line though is: The RMS output rating is the ONLY rating that matters if you want to know how loud the amplifier can get though, and I wouldn’t trust a company that used anything else!
@@j-man9457 😂
Uncool music.
Hahaha yup agreed!
Not cool!
Hahaha no... There are much cooler and louder 50 watt amps out there to spend money on for sure lol!
