Holiday Model 204 Guitar Amplifier

From time to time, I need the use the guitar input of my amplifier for a second microphone input - this gizmo enables me to do that withous issues.

I bought a pair of these to use with a guitar amp simulator. They sound great and allow for getting the amplifier and effects tone without having to crank up the volume to concert levels.

In 1969 I saw a solid-body electric guitar with a three-inch amplifier built into the face of the guitar. The tiny speaker was powered by a nine-volt battery inserted in the back of the instrument. Fantastic, I thought, why don't they make a suction-cup amp that sticks onto the face of the guitar? A zillion years later they did and it is fine.

Great mic for any kind of use. Vocals sound great as well as guitar and bass amplifier. I use this mic in my home studio and live performance.

The sound is excellent and it looks amazing with this retro design and guitar amplifier style! 20+ hours of battery charge life it`s truth, not joke!

Very nice cables. I use it to connect a tube preamp to guitar amplifier and they work great. Love the color!!!

I don't normally write reviews because I'm usually too busy enjoying the products I buy. But this time things are different. I feel utterly compelled to tell the world about this gem... The Marantz Model 30 is a first-class integrated amplifier straight from the hand-crafting magicians in Japan. You can feel the heft of the engineering that went into this thing. From the heavy metal remote to the weighty chassis, the smooth moving knobs and the OLED porthole, this amplifier is spectacularly built... But lets not stop there. You buy it for the sound (mostly), right? - Well, let me tell you. The Marantz Model 30 sounds heavenly, I mean seriously heavenly. Rich, lush, smooth, balanced, controlled, deep, powerful and detailed. You can listen to this thing for hours and be completely entertained; never fatiguing. And the rich detailed powerful sound-stage is absolutely mind blowing... Just be sure to set up your stuff properly (speakers) and this amp will reward you by transporting you to another dimension. No really, it's that good! - My best audio purchase ever! :)

In expanding our sound system, I purchased this amplifier as a replacement for the same model which has operated for over 20 years.

We purchased this model about 9mos. ago for our childcare center along with a google nest signal amplifier and it works really great, no dead spots in the 5,000+ sq.ft. building with multiple walls. Our most recent purchase was to replace our older, smaller Linksys unit at home so we upgraded to this unit. We also planned to purchase a signal amplifier soon after but much to our surprise we don't need a signal amplifier for it to reach all the rooms in our 2-story home! Our older unit had very weak signal reaching upstairs and our kids would need to move to different spots to pickup signal, but not anymore with this model. It's really powerful with 100% range in our home.

I've owned my Marantz Model 30 integrated amplifier for about 2 years now and my opinion is absolutely definitely positive. I used this amplifier, ten hours a day, every day for months on end and it barely gets warm. I run B&W 805 Matrix speakers with a B&W PV-1 sub, connected with the high level connectors, to the amplifier's speaker terminals, as recommended by B&W. This amplifier is, in my opinion, sensational. It's sound is detailed, rich, beautifully expressive, conveying every nuance of the music in a convincing and natural way. Any stops in the music are wonderfully black, it has tone controls, which can be switched in, if I want extra hefty when listening to some of my 70s rock where the bass is recorded a bit too quietly. I've also run B&W 802 Matrix S2, with this amp and it drives them with ease. Twice, stupidly, I have accidentally connected the speaker + and - incorrectly but the amp, just quietly shut itself down with no damage. I really love this amp and could not imagine anything better and would not, ever take the risk of trying to improve on it. I wish I could get people on the Hi-Fi forum I'm on, (What Hi-Fi) to consider a Marantz Model 30 instead of their usual choices because I don't think there's anything out there that approaches this amp at this price. It sounds like an amp that costs at least twice it's price. Absolutely Sensational.
