Great little Amp
HoTone Nano Legacy Mojo Diamond
I bought this little amp for home use together with the palmer greenback cabinet.
First impressions;
I seems surprisingly sturdy built, and has a nice weight to it. Housing is all metal. Good rubber feets that attach very well to the surface you put it on. Pot-meters has a nice resistance and feels tight when you turn them. In the package there is labels you can put on the pots for easy locations of them, because the labels underneath is really small and hard to read. However you don’t need them. All you have to remember is that Gain is on the left, Volume on the right, tone is the ones left in the middle. It will look way better without the stickers. Ok, so then I plugged it in and fired it up. As I am mainly interested the clean sounds. I put the gain on nine o’clock and volume on full. All tone controls on twelve o’ clock. Together with my Ibanez jazz box it brings me really nice and jazzy cleans.. Volume adjusted to neighbour friendly volume with lowering the output of my pickups.. Just great!
Ok, so now the other way around; Gain on full and volume on nine o’clock. I am a fan of tube amps, mainly because it is so easy to find the sweet spot where you have really nice clean sounds when you pick the strings gently, and when you use a little more force it breaks up in a beautiful, mellow bluesy way. Well, this is not a tube amp. You have distortion, and you can to some extent control it with your attack on the strings… I’ts just not a tube amp in the way it breaks up. The amp has an FX-loop and a line out which I haven’t tried out yet. The «tube amp problem» could probably be fixed with a pedal in the tube screamer family, but I haven’t tried it out yet.
My preliminary conclusion; It is a great litte amp for home use. It will probably not keep up with a loud drummer without breaking up. I wish it had a built in reverb. It seem a little bit harsh to not give it five stars all over, but it is what it is. For me at this point in life, it is just perfect. The over all must be five stars considering the price point. … Oh, and I almost forget to mention that it adds no hum what so ever.

Mini amp
I really like this. It has a great Fender-type sound and would really be worth taking out on a gig just in case your main amp blew. Brilliant for recording.
It's tiny...much the same size as a foot-pedal, and comes with its own adaptor.
I use mine with a reverb pedal in its effects loop, into a 1x12 cabinet, and it gives a great sound.
They make other ones to emulate Marshall, Mesa, EVH, Vox but I haven't tried those.
Seriously, buy one

Very nice little practice amp .
I use this amp mainly for practice, either with headphones at home, or with a speaker cab at rehearsal. the size of the amp means that I cant fit i in my guitar case and bring i with me from home to the practice space.
I gives a very nice, almost fender-esque, clean tone which is a really good base for using pedals.
The gain can produce a tiny amount of cruch, but will not give you any dirty sounds.

Perfect small amp for home (but also for a small venue) and perfect platform for pedals
I love the crystal clear sound of this small amp. At home with earphones or into speakers it delivers a classic Fender tone. I love the fact that the amp has a send and return circuit. A distortion or overdrive pedal in front and delay and reverb in the send and return and you are good to go.

Bang for buck
I got this just for practicing with headphones so i can't comment on how it sounds with a cab. It sounds great my pedalboard plugged into it. Nice fender tones. The Aux in option is great feature too for playing along to tracks. The knobs and switch seem decent and seems sturdy overall. For the price, it is a solid piece of gear.

Very small
Although I saw many reviews of this I was 'shocked' how small it really was. Think two large match boxes. But it's not about size, is it?...My Fender 212r was proving too loud for the band so I took the amp out and use the Nano with the two 12" speakers as a cab. The sound is great and the cab mic'd up to a pa works fine so far. I do miss the thunder of the 100watts through my body. Full vol with 12 oc gain some bass, mid, treb, depends on guitar I guess. I use Carbonita with Fideli'Tron humbucking and a Pignose twin rail humbucker pickup at the bridge. Effects send return not so different to guitar-effects-main in (to my ears). No hum, buzz, class sound overall. Free postage would have been great!!!

So clean you have to take a shower before using it.
This tiny little amp is loud and clean. Really loud going through the HB G112 cab. And it is not just really clean, it is really most sincerely clean. The addition of a send/return loop (how did they fit that circuit on an amp this size?) transforms this unit into a brilliant standby amp that fits in a gig bag.
