When I play it the louder (mostly sharp) notes make the amp does not play them, like it stops sounding for those notes. Is it broken or what? TY

The unit was for my daughter. She only used it a handful of times. She did not think much of it or the sound. Sorry.

Considering it was for my daughter I didnt really think it sounded that great and I noticed that as well I just dont think it is capable of handling all the notes.

Sorry, I can't help you there. I have not experienced such a problem. Sounds to me like you have a bad unit. I use my "mini" to do small group gigs. I hook it on my waist and it adds that little boost to carry the sound. I have never tried to play it at a loud setting. Frankly, I'd send it back and get another one to replace it. I still like my Danelectro.

If you are running it on 9 volt battery and the batteries are running down then yes. Otherwise, get a tone boosting pedal and use that to pick up the missing sounds. It's a great little amp,but it is little you can only get so much sound out of it.

you are sending too much energy to the pickup from the amp, so cut back on the pickup input and increase the main to get your volume, or you are too close or in front of the speaker, move things around a bit. if it is a high frequency feedback lower the treble knob to eliminate feed back. if none of these work you need an eq between the pickup and the amp. good luck

I would check to make sure that there is a 9-volt battery in your guitar (by the equalizer). If there is, I would check to make sure that it is good. If not replace it and then it should start working through your amp.

I have the same problem and unfortunately have not been able to play music from it either. Maybe we can get an answer from the makers on what we might be doing incorrect.

Have your amp checked by a factory installer. Planet Audio is very good at making it right with there customers. I'm sorry but I have never had one do that. So it my be internal.

I don't know if it will help or not, but I had to try various settings on all the dials/knobs on the harmonizer, as well as on my amp, till I could get a decent sound, but I finally did. Then, I marked, with fingernail polish, every single setting, because of even one of them got changed slightly, it threw everything off. I should also tell you that I have a second guitar that I use tried to use it with, and it just WILL NOT adjust - cannot get a decent sound with that one. Good luck to you - hope it works out.

It sounds like you must have a defective unit. I don't get a hum with either tubes or solid state amp. Sorry yours is making bad noises.

Ha! So, the question is "how to select the AUX-IN input" the one on the front panel. I just received my amp and the question is still a mystery. It seems to be a dead port. It's not controlled by the Input Selector. And it doesn't seem to override all other signals if connected. And if you've got a manual handy you'll see that Item (16) AUX-IN, is at the very bottom of page 3 and Pyle seems to simply have run out of room for its description. Has anyone gotten it to function?

When it is being played, it sounds no louder than someone drumming on a cushin, maybe a little louder. When you play, though, you have to listen to what you are playing through headphones. I wish it were louder for the player. Better headphones or an external amp may help. I hope this helps answer your question.

Its a great little amp but I don't think it will do well on the bass notes. The distortion is increased as the guitar volume knob goes up. I tried my bass on it and it works but I wouldn't use it as a bass amp even for practice. Perfect for your guitar though

Mine had excellent bass from the start...almost too much. It might be your source that is lacking bass.

Mine did the same thing. Not sure if it's a good/bad thing but the amp is good. Hope this helps

The issue might be with your cables or even your instrument. Try using a different (better) cable.

Effects sound ok if you run the amp clean. If you use the amp gain it gets too muddy. There is not much clean volume either so keep that in mind.

Very likely defective pickups. You can try to plug it into an amp to test it as well. My pickups were defective, and we decided the overall quality of the electronics were not worth going to the hassle of changing out, so we returned the violin.

check and make sure the volume control on the side of the amp is turned up. Its underneath the plastic cap. Hope this helps out
