    I had my amp delivered yesterday, hopefully my guitar will be delivered today. The amp looks nice but it is very light as it is made of paper/cardboard. I don't think I would pay full price for it.

    Mine were delivered yesterday, one drum pad and one guitar. Hmmm, I'm not so sure now..... definately would not pay full price...and... not a good sound :eek: going by the demo on the drum pad....high pitched and metallic, daren't take the tag out of the guitar in case I want to send them back......although I suppose I should be allowed to still send it back under the distance selling regs if it did sound tinney (sp?). Think they might have to go back :(

    Do you think they would sound better with an amp or just louder?
  • They had a demo video on the website, and I thought it was fine, but then depending on whether the child wants to play in time or just go crazy would probably be the difference between a good buy and a headache lol.

    They have really good reviews on Argos etc, so some people must think they are ok.

    I can only get the demos to play as I can't reach the on switch without opening the package. The guitar does sound a little better than the drums and they both have a volume control.


    Hopefully she'll be a one hit wonder:D
