| | 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. | |

 Godlike Mobile Riffage Jul 29, 2009
By Mark Anderson
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 gain so I'm not complaining. The device also has a tendency to swing around while you play -- if you are a highly mobile shredder this might annoy you (but can easily be fixed with a bit of gaffers tape).
If you're on a budget or just want to jam loudly in peace, you could do much worse than this. Throw one in a gig bag with a set of decent phones (and an iPod if you want) and you may as well be carrying a pocket sized amp with you. Note also that this was designed for METAL -- it's all about the gain. If you are looking for something bluesy or some other wimpy sound, consider the other amPlugs.

Works Great! Jul 14, 2008
By R. Craig
When you're just beginning to learn guitar there are two things you want. 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 Dec 19, 2010
By E. Buthmann
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.

Making practice practical. Nov 26, 2009
By Daniel S. Norton
I read the other reviews here; in turn buying the product. I went from being decent and non-religious about practicing to having a need to practice and the ability. My other amp is 100 watts. This is an inspiring piece of machinery ; the tone is astounding and the features I give 5 stars. The aux hook up is brilliant. Enough reviewing, time to continue upping my technique! Fast shipping, marvelous seller. you will not regret buying this.

Love it! May 02, 2011
By R. S. Stonn
In short: Love it!
I hvae a floor pod plus and a Roland mini cube... this one really rocks.. or umm, metals!
Don't get me wrong, you can forget about gigging with this or for any "heavy" work, but if all you want to do is practice quietly with earphones this does the job really well.
I usually have the earphones around my neck (not on my ears) and pop the volume up... this gives me the tone I want without ear damage :)
Have not tested the ability to connect an mp3 player... i just connect earphones.
I wont repeat what the others have said, just add a bit (also because I am not an expert on the guitar, I know a lot more than many people and less than a bunch of other people), so here goes:
(Using it on a Washburn guitar with EMG pups)
Gives me good sustain
Gotta be careful plugging it in and taking it out (seems "plasticky" and might break if not careful)
**Is** plasticky and easy to break if not careful. :) (Thats why I gave it one star less)
Sit on it... forget it, you broke it. Same if you drop it by accident from a few feet.
No problems of the cover popping off (with mine) like others have complained.
Battery lasts quite a bit
Decent sound, dials work.
The dials at the bottom keep grazing stuff when I am sitting and playing and turn without me even realizing it till I paly and get a different sound - this got me a few times, keep it in mind if suddenly you lose your set tone: check the dials and reset it to the numbers you want.
It's nice not to have a chord to the guitar, easy to move around.
Overall, I'm very happy and have ordered the "Classic Rock" from Amazon as well.
Recommended, but be careful and think twice if you are a clumsy person because it's easy to break and at $40 a pop it's not cheap to replace.
