Critic Reviews

SP-10 Review: The only great aspect of this amp is the fact it's... | Squier | Guitar Amplifiers | Reviews @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com

ultimate-guitar.com

The Squier SP-10 is a basic, beginner-friendly amp that falls short in features and sound quality. While the clean channel is passable, the dirty channel struggles with noise and lacks gain control, making it unsuitable for most genres beyond punk rock. Built for portability, its small size and weight are its only standout features. However, its durability is questionable, and experienced players often criticize its build quality. Despite being a starter amp, better alternatives exist at a similar price point, such as the Roland Microcube or Fender Frontman 15, offering superior sound and features.

A fine budget amp

Didn't really have problems with this amp when I was first starting. It came with a Squier bundle pack with all the basics a beginner would need. It's a budget amp, and I got my money's worth.

Practice Amp

Malcolm has been spotted with a Fender Squier Sp-10 Amp on numerous occasions both live and in the studio. Although this 22W guitar amp may not look as intimidating as a 40W amplifier, this little stinker can growl. For a rather small venue, the Fender Squier SP-10 can hold its own without being mic'd up.

kaisegall

Great practice amp.

This is a $50 dollar amp, and if you want to do anything other than practicing, then it sucks. But if you're going out on a trip and want to bring your guitar and amp, then this is great because it is compact and good for practicing. Yes, this amp is meant for practicing, not anything else. So for what it is (a practice amp!), it gets five stars.

first amp

This is my first amp. I bought it used for 20 bucks when I bought my telecaster

Ok practice amp

It's done well for my 3 years of playing bass, but i need to upgrade.

joey_donald

Used when I don't have my Deacy amp

Fairly useless amp for overdrive without pedals, but if the EQ is set: Bass = 10 Treble = 2 1/2 with the drive switch on WITH the treble booster, it arrives at a sound fairly close to a Deacy amp.

justicerow

okay

It's okay. It's in no sense a bad amp. It is not very resistant to feedback when running in distortion mode at high volume. you also cannot adjust the gain or mid frequencies.
