is it powerful enough for busking? (playing in the street around loud noise...)

No, I would not use this amp for street jam. It's great for bedroom or hotel room. For street jam I woul go with the Vox Pathfinder 10. This amp is also good for recording.

Yes, it definitely can. In fact, it is louder than my acoustic ukuleles when played without an amp. It has a different tone than regular acoustic ukuleles but it sounds great in it's own way. Hope that helps. :)

Not bad, it depends on the environment though. It can easily drown out street traffic and daily use for like an office setting, with possibly the exception for maybe sirens, road construction, or if you're on a noisy subway or something. I usually just turn it up louder depending on the environment. I typically turn it up to about halfway on my iphone so it definitely has a lot of headroom if you want to drown out other noises.

Why not! Sounds like a perfect application. Like any other application, I would not plan to run this unit flat-out for long periods as you will likely run into reliability issues. This is not a high-end unit. I'm a gigging bass player and I've been using this with volumes set to about 8/10 for a couple of years now with no probs.

Honest truth, this not a volume-producing musical device. For that you're simply going to need a larger Bluetooth implement. I would describe this as a "personal audio device," very useful for carrying around the house, playing some tunes for a few friends so you can all hear the same thing without doing that gross thing of sharing earbuds (really!). But for these uses it really is excellent. Crank it up all the way and it might provide acceptable-quality sound reproduction maybe 10-12 feet away. But with interference from other sound sources, like passing trucks or other people's music? Don't count on it. I'm very happy with mine, but I own two serious vintage stereo systems, and two modern ones that are "moderately serious," so I wasn't looking for blam blam boom.

I would say yes, it has a very usable clean sound if you don't run the gain to high. Also, it works great with a 10 band eq pedal between your instrument. Great rhythm tracks to use as a metradom.

Easily - especially if it was elevated. Consider an un-amplified acoustic guitar does just fine around a bonfire. I'm really surprised at the punch this little amp puts out.

Ya, it'll work pretty much anywhere that there is enough sound to activate it. It's not necessarily bass activated, however lower end frequencies seem to drive it better. If the music is loud enough, it'll play nice. For outdoors, I would keep it as close to your speakers as reasonably possible.

I would say barely. It won't sound like a booming sound system, more like a nice radio. It's less powerful when you pull out the plug. Ok for a picnic, less good for a party.

yes ive been using mine for my synths and electronic drums it can compete with a guitar going through a Hughes and Keller warp 7 amp, its good for small gigs but if your doing any thing bigger than a bar or small venue id go for something slightly more powerful

This is a nice little amp, but it's probably not the right one for your needs. Technically, you could use it for metal... but I think you'd consider it a bit underpowered for that style of music.

It would absolutely be perfect for that. The sound quality is great and the bass is real punchy, which is what you want for people to "feel" the beat. (Coming from a DJ)

I have used this system outside for my big band and it has worked really well. Plenty of sound. I'm using it with a mackie 16 channel mixer.

I use it for bass practice when everyone is asleep and i need just to hear myself (without headphones)It handles the sound well!! of course the sound is not good coming out from this little twitter, and it tends to feedback on certain notes, but for quite/portable training amp it gets the job done very well

yes it is loud enough for busking but 30-40 ft might the limit to hear it at good volume.

Mine has worked wonderfully for acoustic instruments and comes in handy when my friends and I want to just practice rhythms and stuff!

We use it for vocals and guitars (les Paul, strat and elec acoustic) and iPad for our family band practice in the basement. It is great and portable, but I doubt it would stand up to a loud/large room or tamped guitars and drums. It would be a decent monitor.
