Product Description
The Vox Amplug AC30 is a headphone guitar amp that lets you enjoy serious guitar sound, fast. Jamming late at night? Don’t want to wake the neighbors? Maybe you want to work out a lick with your MP3 player without taking the time to set up your amp. You want to play guitar right now. amPlug is the answer. Simply plug this palm-sized headphone guitar amp directly into your guitar, and enjoy serious guitar sound anywhere, anytime. It’s even available in three different sound styles: VOX AC30, Classic Rock, based on a UK-made amplifier head, and Metal, based on a California-made high-gain amplifier head. Even with its ultra-compact size, amPlug perfectly reproduces the complex and warm distortion that is distinctive of a vacuum tube, as well as the powerful high gain produced by a large amp stack. Using all new analog modeling technology, amPlug delivers full-fledged amp sound. Plugs directly into your guitar—a great-sounding headphone guitar amp that gives you serious sound fast. With its completely analog design, great care was also taken with amPlug's gain circuitry. The AC30 uses two natural-sounding gain stages to reproduce the distinctive AC30 tone. Classic Rock uses four classical gain circuits to deliver that great sound. Metal uses two stages of ultra-high gain plus a mid-cut circuit, giving you modern metal high-gain sound anywhere and anytime. Even the circuit response of the original amp is simulated completely. The simulation extends not only to the response of the tone circuits, but also to the way in which the high frequency and gain are affected when you turn down the volume control of the guitar. Every detail has been faithfully reproduced. amPlug can be used in numerous ways...With up to fifteen hours of battery life, it's easy to take amPlug anywhere. In addition to practicing at home, it's a great way to warm up before a live performance or on the road. There's also an AUX input jack so you can jam along with your CD/MP3 player.
- Available in three styles: VOX AC30, Classic Rock, and Metal.
- AUX in jack lets you jam along with your CD/MP3 player.
- 100% analog circuit faithfully simulates the response of the original amps.
- AC30 emulates the AC30 top boost sound of a vintage VOX AC30.
- Classic Rock gives you the great high-gain sound of a UK-made 100W amp.

Godlike Mobile Riffage, July 29, 2009 By This review is from: Vox amPlug Metal Guitar Headphone Amp (Electronics) After reading about this gadget from a number of reliable sources, I went ahead and gambled the 40 ducats on it and couldn't be happier. The first time I popped this little doohicky into my Ibanez RG, plugged in the phones, maxed the gain and slowly raised the volume I was nearly slammed into the wall by forcefield of metal madness. I attacked the Phrygian scale then glided into my favorite riffs. Power chords: BANG! Who knew you could get such big amp sound out of this tiny plastic box?
Substitute a plain old minijack cable between the phones jack and anything with speakers and you have an improvised amp with sound as big as the remote speakers allow.
It also has a minijack auxiliary input so you can jam along to your iPod or PC output in virtually total silence. No more annoying neighbors banging on your walls when you get the urge to shred at 2:00 a.m.
It would be nice if there was some reverb on the device, but metal holds up well with big... Read more

You want to play LOUD, and you don't want anyone to hear how bad you play. This thing solves both of those problems. Sure you could get one of those "Mini" amps, but they aren't really all that mini, then you need a cord from your guitar connected to the mini amp, and then you need headphones connected to the mini amp.
With this, it's so small, you just plug it into your guitar, and plug your headphones into it. Done.

I can play, they can sleep, December 19, 2010 Amazon Verified Purchase This review is from: Vox amPlug Metal Guitar Headphone Amp (Electronics) This is a very neat little product, The sound is decent, however, not clean. If you are looking for a clean, undistorted sound, this is not right for you. If you like distortion, this headphone amp is nearly perfect. It may say Metal, but, it does so much more. You can get anything from just a little crunchiness to a Metal (not too heavy, gets too distorted) sound. I paired this amp with a pair of Sony MDR7506 Pro's and it allows me to play all night a move around without waking up anyone in the house, or the neighborhood. It is also nice that I am no longer confined to on area in the house to play. I can move around freely and not put myself into complete seclusion when I wanna break out my guitar. I would recommend this product to anyone whose ever had to put up with roommates or household members complaining about your guitar playing.
