Reviews around feature (4.79 of 5)

  • The ability to jam along with the mp3 player input is a great feature
  • Incredible sound and features, over 2 years later its still going strong
  • This adds more useful features and I swear the clean sound on this thing even into a $10 Bluetooth speaker is a beautiful thing
  • The amPlug comes with cool extra features like audio input for practicing with an mp3 player or smartphone, and basic effects (reverb, delay, vibrato, chorus)
  • This wonderful device allows him to plug his headphones in and play his guitar as loud as he wants, but I never hear a thing.

Reviews around tool (4.72 of 5)

  • This is aN excellent tool to practice without a full amp
  • Definitely best practice tool to not bother anyone in the house.
  • Less good: tone and volume are noise, plastic case made is fragile, handle and connect in and out with care or you will break it.i highly recommend it, nice small tool for practicing with the power just for you.
  • Nonetheless for the amount of money I paid it is a great practice tool that does not require me to carry an amp around
  • Great silent practice tool, now I can play and not anger the wife :)

Reviews around device (4.27 of 5)

  • Is it possible that I have a bad device and other Amplug Bass models would be less noisy?
  • This little device is great for those late nights when the kids are in bed and you feel like jamming.
  • This is an amazing little device which I reviewed on my blog at lifeafter40-dot-net

Reviews around tone (4.18 of 5)

  • Tone is awful, but to be expected because it's a tiny little 30$ "amp"
  • Super handy practice tool, tone is not bad at all and has a tubey thump to it.
  • The tone is nice and you can get a great vintage sound from it
  • I sent this thing back, nothing but noise and bad tone.
  • The reverb and tremolo sound great as does the clean tone without any gain mixed in

Reviews around thing (4.05 of 5)

  • Must have, This thing has gotten me to playing my electric so much more that my acoustic must be thinking I have died... or it has died and is a ghost because I walk by it
  • I'm a big fan of Vox and have a number of their products but this thing is junk
  • The problem this thing has is that the maximum volume is far too low
  • What a shame as this thing had promise, just poorly made, and now without the ability to get my money back.
  • I am actually a little amazed at how good this thing sounds.

Reviews around rock (4.01 of 5)

  • When you push it you get a hard rock sound, not too much fuzz, but still clean
  • I typically play everything from the blues to classic, modern, and hard rock
  • I am seriously considering getting the Amplug 2 classic rock and
  • With a little tweaking, you can get some good hard rock sounds.

Reviews around headphone (3.96 of 5)

  • If you use cheap headphones or earbuds, don't blame VOX if the sound is sub par
  • The Amplug 2 surpassed my expectations, even with cheap headphones
  • Sound is a bit thin, especially if the headphones are cheap
  • Also, don't cheat yourself out of good sound, get some decent headphones.
  • Great for practicing with some good aroundear headphones.

Reviews around amp (3.75 of 5)

  • Sound quality is as good as any $50-100 practice amp, maybe a little better considering it has some effects built in
  • Great tones, great little amp. sounds great with most headphones
  • Great little amp with lots of different effects and tones
  • If you want a good headphone practice amp get the Electro-Harmonix amp it is great

Reviews around effect (3.68 of 5)

  • It also comes with a few serviceable effects (chorus, delay, reverb) that can be switched on and off, but there are only a couple of presets for each, and no mix, so you're pretty much left with effect on/off
  • Great sound and the effects are much better than expected.
  • the built in effects (chorus, delay and reverb) are pretty much decent, especially the reverb which matters the most at least for me
  • The effects all really sound nice and the line in is awesome
  • I like that each effect has three variations so you can dial in different chorus, reverb or delay effects

Reviews around eardrum (3.28 of 5)

  • This is an awesome invention and works exactly as you'd want it to - and beats paying $600 for a Vox amp to plug your headphones into
  • There are three separate drive channels, as well as, chorus, delay and reverb effects with varying preset degrees of depth.
  • Using it with a Kala U-Bass which I ALSO really recommend.
  • Works as it's supposed to- practice so the world doesnt have to hear.
  • Unfortunately, at the end of the effects chain, there is so much noise that it's hard to hear what you're playing without busting your eardrums

Reviews around buzz (2.69 of 5)

  • When playing along with music, I didn't notice it, but practicing without having music to go along with there was a constant static buzz.
  • Good thank u
  • It has heavy distortion and little unwanted hum/buzz
  • Using it with a Kala U-Bass which I ALSO really recommend.
  • Sound quality is great - no buzzing, just the faintest humming when plugged in.

Reviews around jack (2.47 of 5)

  • This works best if you have a guitar with an jack mounted on the face like an SG or a Stratocaster.
  • I caught my headphone cords when I stood up and the device pulled apart which ripped the jack off and a wire on the inside got dislodged (my fault I guess)
  • the jack physically came loose, have to wiggle and jiggle to get a connection
  • The swivel jack also allows me to ensure I'm not scratching the finish on the guitar (either bottom jack or top jack works).
  • I got this to use with a Traveler Ultra-light Guitar for trips and quiet practice ... the jack in the Traveler seems touchy at best, which doesn't help, but even when I was getting good, solid signal, I wasn't too happy with the sound through the VOX.

Reviews around house (2.35 of 5)

  • I wanted a "no frills" amp for practicing my guitar in bed late at night without disturbing the whole house and this unit fit the bill perfectly
  • the plastic housing around the 1/4 input separated and one wire ripped off the input.
  • The plastic housing around the 1/4" jack is flimsy and will snap with any minor accidental pressure.
  • a teenager such as myself playing in your room late at night and don’t want to vibrate the whole house !
  • Using it with a Kala U-Bass which I ALSO really recommend.

Reviews around lot (2.28 of 5)

  • Really good when you want to make a lot of noise and not bother anyone
  • But it would also price out a lot of beginners or deter people from owning more than one of these.
  • You'll get a lot of clipping and static sounds if you push it too much, and it's not hard to do
  • Lot worse than expected... do not sound as near as a tube amp
  • But after only a few days I’m noticing a lot less accidental squeaks, squawks and squeals and other annoying finger noise you get with an electric

Reviews around bite (1.80 of 5)

  • I do worry about dropping it though because it feels a bit too plasticky and light.
  • A new layout and a bit more robust construction and you would have a real winner
  • It also makes learning a bit easier on the rest of my family.
  • I don't regret it one bit; except for maybe not doing it earlier in life
  • Controls are kinda weird but work once you mess with it a bit.

  • There definitely is some minor static noise coming off of this
  • Tried it in an electric and an acoustic electric that don't have a static noise on other amps
  • Lot of static noise when you move the tone knob to have a more bright sound
  • Less good: tone and volume are noise, plastic case made is fragile, handle and connect in and out with care or you will break it.i highly recommend it, nice small tool for practicing with the power just for you.
  • I got great tone for that, and some easy tweaks I get my Priest tone holy S..t!Another bonus, you can get more sounds out of it if you simply plug it into your pedal
