Amp Heads Review [top] | Allaxess Mini

Highly recommended for high-gain players and practical musicians.

Buy the Allaxess mini head if you are a beginner on a strict budget, a guitarist who needs a backup amp for emergencies, or a bedroom player who primarily uses pedals for distortion. Avoid it if you are a tone purist, a gigging musician, or someone who relies on "edge of breakup" sounds. In the grand scheme of the amp market, the Allaxess proves a simple truth: you don't need $2,000 to make noise, but you also shouldn't expect $2,000 performance from a lunchbox.

These units are almost shockingly light, tipping the scales at under one pound. The chassis is primarily constructed of high-impact ABS plastic rather than steel or aluminum. For a traditionalist, this feels toy-like. However, for a player looking to toss an amp into a backpack, this is a virtue. The plastic casing is durable enough to survive a fall from a desk onto a carpet, though one suspects a concrete floor might spell disaster.
