Customer Reviews

Thomas Earl
I bought this bag as a Christmas gift for someone who has Guitar Hero and I will just tell you that she "loves it" and is so happy with it. It has some features that some of the more expensive bags don't have like pockets etc.The price was right and I'm so glad I purchased it.

Guitar case
This is such a great idea. Keeps the guitar from getting scratched. Essential for those who want to keep their guitars looking new for as long as possible.

Inexpensive way to store your guitar controllers
This is an excellent "one size fits all" bag that can be used for either Guitar Hero or Rock Band guitar controllers. Great for storage.

This bag is also handy to protect your guitar, when bringing over to a friend's house for a "jam session".

This is cheaper than buying those "custom fit", "official" GH or RB gig bags, that are almost double the price.

This bag suits my needs.

Customer Reviews

Severely Lacking, but Hilarious to Look at....
This device could have been much, much, much, better designed. There are NO ps2 controller pass-throughs, just a basic small scale amplifier to put next to your small scale "Guitar Hero" SG/Shredder/Flying V/whatever. How small IS this doo-hickey?? If you have any lying around, stack 45-50 12inch record albums and duct tape them together. VIOLA! that stack is the size of the amplifier.

The inputs are 1/4" which means this could easily be a practice guitar amp (1/4" is the standard size for real electric guitars and microphones) you can get at a music store....P.T. Barnum WAS right!!! I haven't felt so taken since I bought a two-man submarine from a comic book ad.

If they REALLY wanted to make this PS2 friendly, they should have had a more practical audio input (and supplied the cabling), AND... a controller pass-through that would light up a bunch of progressive LEDs on the amp as you played. Oh WELL, Cokem International, back to the old drawing board!!!!

*please don't actually duct-tape your record collection. Just do it mentally.

small electric guitar amp *please note: no Guitar Hero input though
Good price ($26 on daily deal, not worth $50) BUT a lot of people on Amazon didn't realize what this was, that said, just so people know; this is a small guitar amp with extra inputs. No pass through or input for Guitar Hero controllers. You could plug a real electric guitar into this along with another device in the RCA or microphone... The reviews are good if you are using it for an actual guitar amp.

*Again, NO Guitar Hero controller input on this thing!*

Product Features
-Amplifier Cabinet
-2 Channels with independent volume knobs
-knobs for : Bass Control, Treble Control, Volume Control
-1/4", Microphone, and Auxiliary Input (2x 1/4" in and 1x stereo RCA in)
-6.5" woofer with dual 1.5" wide-range speakers
-35Hz-20kHz Frequency Range

example: you could run the audio out of your gaming console into this along with a mic to sing along with the game audio, or with a real guitar to play along with the game audio...

Piece of Crap
This is useless trash...! the contact are very poor. Has lot of static and is not usable.

I would not recommend it to anyone. Only the price is good.

Customer Reviews

Not only works for GH/RB, but for other PS2 controllers as well.
I bought this adapter because I own a pretty big collection of PS2 games, and I already put away my PS2 for extra space. What am I going to use it for? Very niche titles that few of you will care.

First, obvious compatibility that most will care about is the Guitar Hero guitars for GH3 and RB. They work. Not 100%, but work. However don't expect it to work again on future GH titles since Activion is a money hungry-portholic-jackass and probably will change their game codes so this adapter won't work. Who knows?

Second, dual shock 2 also works well for PS2 and PS3 games. No tilting for sixaxis-supported PS3 titles, obviously.

Ok so the first and second part of my review are obvious ones that everyone else already talked about. My main test subjects for this review are
Taiko Drummaster, Beatmania, Pump it up, DDR, Tekken arcade stick, Street Fighter 15th anniversary controller by Nubytech, and Saturn PS2 controller.

Taiko Drummaster-Game only recognizes the drum as the dualshock2 controller. What this means is that you can't use the drum to navigate the menu, but WILL work once the song starts. All I could do was to use the controller, pick a song, pause, and then switch back to drum in order to play the game.

Beatmania-Game has an option to choose either controller or turntable controller. I pick turntable, and the controller works perfectly fine.

Pump it up-It works well

DDR-DOES NOT WORK. If it works, there might be lags. Sorry for the confusion.

Tekken arcade stick-It works, but I read somewhere that there are few millisecond lags for joystick inputs. Doesn't affect average Tekken/VF player like me, but experts might.

SF 15th anniversary edition controller pad by Nubytech-Tested with SF Anniversary Collection, and it works fine.

Saturn PS2 controller-My main reason for buying the converter was to use this controller for my fighting games like KoF and SF on my PS3. It was bit of a gamble since this controller is an import, but to my surprise it WORKS!!!

In conclusion, this converter does a pretty good job of letting you use most of the PS2 controllers for PS2/PS3 games on PS3.

BEWARE: WILL NOT WORK AFTER 2.7 UPDATE
This converter worked fine until I've updated my system to 2.7. Now it's nothing more than paper weight. Good thing I didn't update my system while this thing was plugged in! I hear a lot of people bricked their PS3's and had to FORMAT all their saved games...

One Guitar Only? EXCELLENT
This product is awesome. I can use my GH 2 guitar on Rock Band and GH 3. I wanted a second guitar and I was gonna get TAC's Window Maker bass, but this is only $20, while a second guitar is $60. And I now use my good ole' GH 2 guitar all the time. I love that thing. There are a few minor flaws though. Star Power won't activate by tilt when you are playing a series of notes. And hitting select will deactivate orange and green frets as long as you have it held down (so you'll lose a long note). But the long note thing isn't a big deal, cause the tilt works a lot better on long notes. But this is perfect for those of us who are sick of having so many video game guitars laying around.

Almost perfect
This guitar linked up immediatly and works well with my ps3 playing rock band. Only issue i have had with it is the keys are raised a little high after having played with the stock rock band guitar this makes sliding for orange notes hard, and i have found you have to position your hand fully on the keys or they don't depress enough to get full contact, which again after playing the stock guitar and being able to just touch the lips of the keys makes for a degree of having to re-orient to the style. It definalaty is more well constructed than the stock guitar, and the strum bar is just like the GH guitars, steardy and and got the infamous click. over all i think its a good guitar but not ergonomicaly suited to me. I have decently large hands, so small handed people may have issues with it. but i havn't played with any i found all that comfy to hold for long periods any way. all in all a good product from The Ant Commandos.

Looks Good, Plays Bad
This guitar made it through the first song without a problem. Unfortunately, that was it. Starting with the second song ever played on it, the strum bar began missing notes. Even hitting the strum bar with slightly more force failed to produce consistent results, and by the third and fourth songs it was missing about two out of every three notes. If that wasn't bad enough, the fret buttons are rather soft and wobbly. More than once I missed a note simply because holding the fret button down wasn't enough; holding them down STRAIGHT was necessary to hit the note. In all, I was quite disappointed with this purchase. I did get my money back, however.

Pros: Classic design, nice sticker sheet, works with Guitar Hero and Rock Band for both PS2 and PS3 (just not that well, in my experience)

Cons: Buttons and a strum bar that don't consistently work, feels smaller and more flimsy than the regular guitar controllers, takes 4 AA batteries (twice what most controllers do), small strum bar

Poorly made Guitar controller
Got this guitar recently from a big box store and all I can say is don't waste your time. It's too small for an adult, the fret buttons miss a lot of notes when playing rock band and the strum bar is extremely noisy. I'm returning this.
