There's something to be said about getting good analog tone on headphones, the AC30 provides a beautiful mild overdrive, perfect for indie or classic rock players

I like this Classic Rock AmPlug much better than the AC30 one -- the "normal" setting sounds beautifully clean, and the additional two settings really step up the "snarl" in a way that sounds much better than simply turning up the gain knob (which is the only way for the AC30 to get a heavier sound).

This newer version of the Classic Rock is an improvement

The classic rock model is very limited tonally and all those tones are pretty bad

But for classic rock, hard rock, or even some early metal (think Janie's Crying-era Van Halen), this little practice amp is hard to beat.

Absolutely love the Vox AP2 Classic Rock

It gets dirty enough for blues lead and classic rock, but not really for hard rock or metal.

The classic rock version has a decent clean sound (not 100%, but close) and the gain knob adds a nice dirtiness to it

So although my amplug 2 classic rock is absolutely great

Lead unit can bring similar distortion, making amplug classic rock somehow useless

Vox makes Classic Rock and Metal versions if you are looking for better tones for these genres.

With the Vox ap2 classic rock my personal rehearsals are now very personal, meaning i can rehearse with ease without worrying about disturbing others

I plan on buying the Classic Rock and Metal versions as well

The Vox AmPlug Classic Rock is an excellent practice tool.

I had gotten 2 of these vox amps earlier this year and decided to get this classic rock one to complete my collection

I wasn't looking for very heavy distortion, so the 'Classic Rock' model was perfect for my needs

So, when I learned that the Amplug 2 series had been released, the Classic Rock was the first one I wanted to try.

I didn't get to demo the different amPlug 2 models in person but from reviewing the various models on YouTube it sounded like the Classic Rock model was versatile and met my overall needs the best

I was hesitant at first because I own the first generation amPlug Classic Rock, and although it's OK, it gets a bit fizzy at high

By the way, I got the regular one, not the classic rock or metal.

I was torn between the Classic Rock or Metal version, but I decided to take a chance and get this one

It gets dirty enough for blues lead and classic rock, but not really for hard rock or metal.

But for classic rock, hard rock, or even some early metal (think Janie's Crying-era Van Halen), this little practice amp is hard to beat.

I plan to buy a classic rock one for my bc rich eagle also

It also works on the distortion, pushing the sound from a classic rock distortion to an almost thrash metal distortion

The classic rock sounds great with my Telecaster, but I think I'll buy the other versions to complete the set and experiment with different guitars.

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

With a little tweaking, you can get some good hard rock sounds.

I am seriously considering getting the Amplug 2 classic rock and

One of the 1st-generation Amplugs that disappointed me a little was their Marshall clone, which they call the "Classic Rock".

But I ordered the classic rock one anyway.

I am glad I grabbed the metal version over the "Classic Rock"

I got the Classic Rock tone

But it gets enough room for you to play from classic hard rock to modern heavey metal

Really like the classic to hard rock tones.

I have 4 of the amplug classic rock series

But it gets enough room for you to play from classic hard rock to modern heavey metal

All the tones are way too fuzzed out (probably to mask how bad they sound), so the only "classic rock" sound you can get is a terrible approximation of Black Sabbath

I was hoping Tom Petty songs would be classified as "Classic Rock" however the distortion is too much and they don't sound good.

With a little tweaking, you can get some good hard rock sounds.
