Up for sale is a cool, used Kala I-5U 5-Watt Tweed Mini Amplifier. While designed specifically by Kala to give acoustic-electric ukuleles a warm, clean, and portable projection boost, this little amplifier holds a secret: it doubles as a fantastic, gritty desktop practice amp for electric guitars. When you push the volume, it breaks up into a highly musical, classic lo-fi overdrive that sounds incredibly cool for blues, garage rock, or indie tracking.

Core Features & Connectivity

• Classic Controls: Equipped with tactile Volume, Treble, and Bass knobs on the control plate to easily shape your EQ.
• Aux Input & Headphone Out: Features a 1/8" Passive Line Input to plug in your phone or media player to jam along with backing tracks, alongside a 1/8" Headphone jack that automatically bypasses the internal 5" speaker for silent late-night practice.
• Portable Footprint: Weighing just over 4 pounds and styled like a boutique vintage tube combo, it looks great sitting on any desk, bookshelf, or studio workspace.

Battery Housing Defect & Power Note (Please Read)

• Battery Compartment Note: This model originally shipped with the ability to run portably on two 9V batteries. However, one of the internal plastic battery housings/terminals is completely missing. Because of this, running the amp portably on battery power is highly difficult/unreliable out of the box.
• The Solution: The amplifier features a standard 9V DC input jack on the back chassis and functions perfectly when plugged into a standard wall outlet. It is highly recommended to use this strictly as a stationary desktop/desktop outlet-powered amplifier.

What’s Included

• Kala I-5U 5-Watt Tweed Mini Amplifier Only
• Note: A 9V DC power supply adapter or instrument cables are not included unless explicitly pictured.

Standard Reverb Shipping Guidelines

• Packaging: The amplifier will be carefully wrapped in several layers of thick anti-static bubble wrap to protect the tweed covering and control knobs, then securely nestled into a heavy-duty box packed with shipping paper to ensure zero movement during transit.
