mbasko said:I used to have some cheap $20 mini guitar amps LH-380. Can get them on eBay etc. pretty easily.
They were ok but quality between units could vary & build quality not great.
Plenty of volume, inbuilt speaker, used 9v batteries, cheap enough to have a couple for backup.
There'd possibly be a couple still using them on here but I haven't used one for a few years.
I think Angermanagement may have tried some different types out?
Always wondered how the more expensive ones would go but never tried one.

$40 Compact,lasts all day and has a hi/lo gain switch which is very useful for matching to detector output.
no builtin speaker though
I use on SDC and QED.

Unless you've a hearing issue then an amp won't help much, you really need something that acts like a squelsh & highlights the threshold has broken, whereas an amp will boost the threshold warble and everything else
Your onto it :Y:BrokeInBendigo said:I take advantage of the sP01's adjustable volume knob (the booster part of it) & the GPX's volume limit to do some faux-compression.
I set my threshold to be just barely audible, then set the volume limit pretty low (7 IIRC), and turn the sP01's volume up to the point where an overload signal doesn't blow my ears off.
The result is that those usual super faint targets are still loud enough to not miss, but also I don't lose any hearing when I hit a piece of surface junk.
This is basically a very crude gain compression.
I also use some deep-insertion in-ear monitors for my headphones (etymotic brand, the cheapest ones will do fine), they do an exceptional job at negating all outside noise, on par with active noise canceling headphones.
Highly recommend trying this kind of setup.
