Great little performer!

By: Anonymous on 10 September 2021

Received one of these little guys for Father's day, along with a guitar. Really impressed with the delivery speed, communications and support overall. My DC15S had an annoying buzz that was very obvious in any of the clean settings and the team were brilliant in offering suggestions or an easy refund. I chose to do some self diagnosis and discovered a slight leak/rattle/buzz coming from the frame of the woofer and sorted it with some weather strip foam. Love this little unit now and all the features for the price are just unbeatable. Does everything I could want it to as a beginner guitarist. Stock status suggests others agree!

What a great little amplifier!

By: Frank Coe on 11 August 2021

It's got so many features. 9 amp models, modulation and space simulation effects, presets, a looper module, bluetooth and line in connections, battery and AC power supply, automatic shutdown, headphone socket, footswitch and 2 speakers. And I've left the best for last ... it features a built-in Drum Machine, with 36 drum patterns with separate volume and tempo settings. It is also very well built, and great value for the price. I'm very pleased with this amplifier. It has exceeded all my expectations.

Surprisingly good little package .....

Look, this is not going to knock the building down with ear-splitting volume — it’s a 15-watter, after all — but it’s advertised as a “home practice” amp and, in that context, it does the job admirably. In commenting, I don’t intend to cover the sound from this little box (since that is demo-ed more than adequately in AG’s video), but instead I’ll mention a few points that aren’t currently included in the blurb ….. (1) Size-wise, it’s approx. 26cm (W) x 19cm (D) x 23.5cm (H), and weighs in at around 4 kilograms (kinda reminds me of a car battery! ☺) (2) Construction is robust, with solid sides and back, metal grille, and rubber feet. The metal handles on the top are handy for picking the thing up, and would also help protect the knobs against inadvertent damage. (3) Unlike most amps, it actually comes with the footswitch necessary for switching presets — wish my big-and-expensive amps had included the switching pedals I later had to buy! (4) To be honest, I haven’t played with the looper or the drum machine much, apart from checking that they work — I bought this just for plugging in a solid-body for a quick practice in my music room. (5) The ability to have two switchable presets set up is handy. (6) Most amps of this size and price would have one tiny (and tinny!) speaker but, surprisingly, the DC-15S has what appears to be a 5.25 inch main speaker, another 2.5 inch tweeter, and even a small bass port — not bad, and these allow the unit to punch above its weight, so to speak. (7) One curious feature is that the amp turns itself off after five minutes of non-use (i.e. no input from the guitar), to (quote) “save electricity”. While I can understand the logic of that if you’re running from battery, five minutes is rather short if you’re on mains power; it’s not uncommon to be distracted with a phone call or whatever, then return to find that your amp’s shut off. Yeah, okay, it’s just a matter of flicking the power switch off and then on again, but I suggest that the manufacturer could look at disabling this feature for mains power, or at least extending it to, say, 15 or 30 minutes. (8) The 8-page manual is just adequate, but could do with some fleshing out — for example, the section on setting Presets needs more explanation of the sequence needed, because it takes a bit of experimentation before you get it down to a fine art. ………. Criticisms? I find the Tone control is mostly ineffective — I struggle to tell ANY difference between the Tone set at 0 and the Tone set at 10 (or at any point in between). Just sayin’. And I also found the amp to be susceptible to shrill mains-related “noises”, so much so that I needed to interpose a hum eliminator before the input jack but, in fairness, I do have a lot of electronic gear in the room (multiple computers, multiple other amps etc.), so I’ve put it down to the environment, and haven’t deducted stars for that. Overall, 4+ stars (if the Tone control wasn’t so useless, I’d have opted for 5.) ………. Is the DC-15S worth the $$$? I say yes — it’s a feature-packed little amp wrapped up in an attractive package. AND it’s so small that, with any luck, you can hide it away in a corner, and your long-suffering spouse will never suspect that you bought yet another amp. ☺

This just arrived, i was able to set it up and have all the features figured out within minutes without ever touching the manual. As a home practice amp, with the drum machine and looping features this is just brilliant. The only single thing i could say is slightly lacking is it doesn't quite have the saturation and sustain i'd like for shredding. But for 99% of what most people would want, this totally delivers. Packed with features, great sound quality, awesome value.

Absolutely Brilliant

This amp is absolutely fantastic. It has now completely replaced my more expensive Blackstar Id Core V3. It has so much built-in it's unbelievable. Also love not needing a power point as it's good being able to move it around the house and the built in battery last for hours. Built in drum machine, looper, and footswitch comes with it. And it also sounds better than my Blackstar amp to top it all off. Buying this amp for home practicing and jamming is a no brainer imo. Also Artist Guitars customer service is 2nd to none.
