Review: DH05i & SD30i Reviews (I bought both.) - Hornet 05i I'd give this bad boy six stars if I could. The sound alone warrants five stars. I was really surprised when I plugged in and hit the guitar strings. I have a couple other practice amps. They are both 20 watts. This little 5 watt baby holds its own against them when it comes to clarity, volume, and tone. If you're looking for a great (very) little amp to take to the park, your friends house, this one is portable, has a rechargeable battery, and is simple to use. Like one knob simple, clockwise to turn it on and turn it up, a quick push to cycle between four preset tones/effects. The four presets are even color coded on the knob. Easy. But wait... yes, there is more. I downloaded the free iAmp app and wow, that opened the door to so much more. I don't need to tell you the numbers, as they are listed in the description, but yes, there are a lot of amps, tones, effects, a looper, metronome, tuner, and even a big helping of rhythm tracks to help you keep time. Yes, they are editable. (My wife hates this amp. I was supposed to make dinner but ended up deep in the rabbit hole that was customizing sounds. After two hours she said something and I had to quit and make dinner. Oops) I did end up pairing the amp with the GTRS GWF4 wireless foot switch. Now I don't have to tap the iPad to change settings, start/stop the looper and drum tracks, and the best thing, it works flawlessly. It does take a little bit to get the button combinations down for switching tone banks and to and from the drums or looper. The downloadable manuals for both are well written and really helpful. You charge the amp with a USB C cable, the same cable will let you record to a mobile device. (I might just put this in a padded shoebox with a SM57 and see what it does...) If you have five minutes to practice or you are jamming all day, the Mooer Hornet 05i will keep up. --------------------- SD30i This amp is that little Hornet on steroids! The 30 watt SD30i is clear, loud, and oh man, is it customizable... Like the Hornet it connects to the Mooer iAmp app letting you set up new presets. I had the GWF4 wireless foot switch. I've used it with both amps. My pedalboard setup is sitting in the corner, jealous. No seriously, like with any amp there are those couple pedals that have their unique tones. I like being able to forget about the minute tweaks to the sound when coming up with riffs and songs. This amp allows you to do that. Set all the presets where you want them, and you have a whole bank of tones to play with. I made four presets with distinct flavors. There is a clean, fuzzy, punkish, and classic British rock. I can cycle through them, or move on to other presets. This is all done on the SD30i through the iAmp app. The wireless foot switch isn't mandatory, but it saves you from tapping the iPad when you want to change tones or start the looper. I can't say enough about this amp, metronome, drum tracks, tuner, and looper. The sound quality that is thrown at you is fantastic. (I think this amp improved my playing.) Did I mention that like its little brother the SD30i packs a rechargeable battery. Yeah, play with 30 watts of powerful sound anywhere you want.
Review: My favorite mini/micro amp EVER! - The Hornet05i mini amp is excellent in every way! It’s very small, lightweight, and portable, perfect for travel or space saving; but it doesn’t sound small! The overall tone and bass response are really, really good and very pleasing. And I can’t believe how loud it can get! and it still sounds really good at louder volumes. All of the settings are controlled with the easy-to-use iAMP app, connected to your amp via Bluetooth. It’s very simple to set up. You can also stream audio to the amp over Bluetooth. There are many amp models available, varying in tone and gain/distortion level, so you are sure to find something that fits the genre of your choice. And you can of course adjust the gain and tone of each one. The effects are all excellent and fully adjustable within the app. The provided presets are inspiring right out of the box, but it’s easy to create your own presets. The drum beats are a lot of fun, and the looper is very handy. I might pick up the Mooer F4 footswitch later on to facilitate the use of the looper and preset switching. Quick battery charge and then I’m ready to go. I used a Samsung rapid charger (which provides 3A of current). Use a 5V USB-C power adapter with at least 2A according to instructions. I am very pleased with my purchase of the Mooer Hornet05i.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Fantastic practice amp
*by R***G on June 30, 2023*

This is a really great and fun practice amp. No matter your playing level, whether you are a beginner or advanced. I honestly didn't have super high expectations but this has really impressed me. First of all it looks great. The covering is really classy and would look good just sitting in your living room. Second, the amount of options this has is incredible. A whole bunch of amp simulations to choose from, a bunch of effects to choose from, (modulation, reverb, delay, auto wah, compressor, etc). The amp sims sound great and the effects are great as well. The app is definitely a huge plus to have, it opens up a ton more controls and options. It aids in saving presets. But it is not necessary. You can just plug in and jam and still have some effects available and control the equipment, gain, and volume from the control panel of the amp. Which is very nice. And the fact that it has a battery so you can take it wherever and practice or jam with a friend is super cool. Does it sound like a tube amp? No. It sounds like a VERY good practice amp. The fact that it's running 4 inch speakers kind of eliminates the chance of feeling it rumble your chest. But it does sound very good and is fun to play. It is a very good option for playing at home or jamming along with an acoustic guitar. Highly recommend this SD30i.
