Some comments from people who come to the forum about this model:

Comment:

For the money I wasn’t expecting much. I had a little katana mini which was OK but didn’t have much output and I wanted a little practice amp to sit under a coffee table and yet looked good.

First of all the looks. Whenever anyone sees it they immediately comment on it’s 50’s styling and how the blue dial was perfect.

But, most importantly, the sound. Some of the amps are a little too rocky for me, I play Jazz/ blues but overall for a practice amp I have zero complaints. It’s really there to replace a Yamaha THR which was ok, a pain as it always suffer from a buzz caused by a short and I’m actually more of a fan of this Mooer and it’s sounds. There’s options for pretty much anything I want to play.

Our Bass player plugged in his Warwick and was impressed, it’s a versatile piece of kit. Not enough low end for him to gig with but he was happy enough. I guess that’s a good compliment.

Comment:

I’ve bought this combo for my nephew. He only starts playing guitar, but he wants to sound as a megastar! And my sister wants to live in peace and quiet. Dilemma 🙂
Here is where Mooer Hornet comes in. Cool, stylish, has everything that kid and his mom expects from it. Thank you Mooer, one happy family fed 🙂

I have tried many small combos from "classic" brands for home use, and was disappointment with their sound, features and look.. This is the best choice for hobbyists on my opinion. Modeling amp is a modelling amp. Just don’t expect it to be a replacement of a real tube amp on staage, and you will be happy.
A lot of amps emulated, not just clean and overdrive. Effects enriches the sound, so for home playing you actually don’t need anything more.
Controls – a bit unclear for classic amp user, but you just should get just to it, and then you will understand why it is done that way.
Bluetooth is a must for modern home combos.
