The word "portable" is one of those marketing words that companies
often use when they suddenly think to add a handle to a 100 pound
piece of gear. As most of you know by now, I'm a frequent flyer and
I'm always looking for gear that is truly portable. This means that
the gear in question should be small, light, easy-to-carry, and
provide few hassles when going through airport security.
I've played with various portable amps and found very few that
actually fit this definition. Most, even if small, are too blocky or
ill-designed to carry efficiently and the really small ones just don't
have respectable sound quality. Fortunately, I was sent a relatively
new product called the "Thin Amp" from AXL. As we will see, it is a
nifty little portable amp with some really intriguing features.
