Fischer Amps In Ear Stick

I use this amp on stage to get extra volume from my in-ear monitors, so that I can hear my live vocals and guitar more clearly. I play with an acoustic guitar duo, in very noisey environments.

Pros
- very easy to set up and use
- the extra volume from the amp means that I can hear the mix over the background noise through my in-ear monitors
- excellent sound quality
- solid design. The metal casing feels strong, so I don't worry about damaging the amp during transporation, storage or on-stage
- compact size
- battery powered (no need for long cable runs between a charger and an a/c outlet)
- the belt clip feature makes it easy to wear securely on stage
- the volume control, at the top, it easy to access quickly

Cons
- it's feel a little heavy (but only slightly)

I recommend this amp for anyone who needs great quality sound, with extra volume, for their in-ear monitors on stage.

I use this unit in conjunction with UE7 IEMs and get a great sound when playing live. The size and weight are ideal for a wired amplifier. I hardly know its there. I attach it to my guitar strap and attach the cable to my guitar lead. Then I route a cable from my pedal board to the sound desk. This solves the problem of an extra cable hanging from me and I have a better sound than most wireless packs. I was going to go wireless and get the Sennheiser pack, but I am now very glad I did not and saved myself a €1000. If wireless is not a big selling point for you, and you don't want a big heavy box hanging off of you, then I would recommend this. 3 other players in my band have this also and seem happy with the performance. The amp is advertised as having a 10 hour operation time on 2 AAA batteries, I find that it is definitely more. I get about 10 gigs per set of batteries so maybe somewhere between 20-30 hours of operation. I don't really have anything negative to say about this, its a great and sturdy bit of gear for the price.
