Mooer Hornet 05i Purple 5W Modelling Guitar Amplifier
Bought this for my 11 year old son. He’s been practising guitar at school during break time and there weren’t enough amps available in the music room.
At first it seemed like a good choice and really encouraged him to play. But after 3 weeks he knocked it off the school table onto the floor. It landed upside down with the guitar cable in the input socket. This forced the socket deeper into the body of the amp, damaged the wiring and no guitar sound would come out, even though you could still play music via Bluetooth. I took this to an amp repair guy I know and he couldn’t fix it. He couldn’t open it because the back is glued on, not screwed. The only way to get into it was to cut it open. This is a disposable item that isn’t meant to be repaired. It should have been a simple fix, but instead this was a waste of nearly £100 including postage. Look elsewhere.
