With amPlug 2, the crucial analog circuit has been drastically improved, and each model now provides three modes. A foldable plug mechanism that rotates 180 degrees and an auto power-off function are additional features that contribute significantly to improved convenience and ease of use. The amPlug is the simplest way to get serious sound; occupying virtually no space, it's an ideal choice for any guitarist or bassist.

  • "AC30" provides the AC30 top boost sound.
  • "Classic Rock" delivers the classic crunch of a UK-made 100W amp.
  • "Metal" gives you the extreme high-gain sound of a US-made amp.
  • "Bass" is designed specifically for low frequencies, offering a wide-range response.
  • Each model provides three amp modes, giving you even more variety.
  • Nine selectable effects (Chorus x 3, Delay x 3, Reverb x 3) are built into the guitar-type models.
  • Bass model includes nine built-in rhythm patterns for convenient and effective practicing.
  • A multi-stage gain circuit featuring VOX's proprietary analog technology perfectly reproduces the complex distortion created by a vacuum tube amplifier.
  • New folding plug mechanism rotates 180 degrees to fit any guitar
  • Play anytime, anywhere with up to 17 hours of battery life
  • Use the AUX input to jam along with your smartphone, tablet, or MP3 player

Offering the easiest way to enjoy true analog amplifier sound in your headphones, the amPlug series has been a bestseller since it first appeared in 2007.

Plug the amPlug into your guitar and enjoy serious sound. Its that simple!
To use the palm sized amPlug, just plug it into your guitar and grab your headphones. Playing your guitar or bass with amPlug results in serious amp sound that's overflowing with presence. A wide range of variation is available, as the lineup consists of four models: "AC30" provides the AC30 top boost sound, "Classic Rock" gives you the classic crunch sound of a UK-made 100W amp, "Metal" delivers the extreme high-gain sound of a US-made amp, and "Bass" is designed specifically for bass.

A completely analog design accurately simulates the circuits of classic tube amplifiers resulting in a rich, detailed sound.
While retaining the fully-analog multi-stage gain circuit, additional refinements have been made toward reproducing the sound and performance of real tube amps. These refinements include factors such as reproducing the way a tube amp responds to different guitars, pickups, and volume as well as recreating the sense of air movement within the speaker cabinet. As a result, the carefully selected circuit structure and components of the new amPlug delivers a more highly evolved sound.

In addition to its wide-range design, "Bass" now features VOX's new and original Bassilator circuit, reproducing the powerful ultra-low punch that is distinctive of a bass amp.

Nine selectable effects provide a great range of sonic variation.
The second-generation amPlug adds a variety of new functions. To give you more variety, each amp three provides three modes. "AC30" provides use of a tremolo circuit, "Classic Rock" features a mid-boost, "Metal" gives you mid-cut, and "Bass" allows the amount of gain to be switched. The three guitar-type models also provide 9 selectable effects with three types of Chorus, Delay and Reverb, while "Bass" contains nine different rhythm patterns. With versatile sound and functionality that is uncommon of such a compact unit, these models enable you to get even more serious about your guitar or bass playing.

Foldable plug that rotates 180 degrees.
The plug that you insert into your guitar can rotate in five steps up to 180 degrees, enabling it to be adjusted for optimal visibility. This design also allows even more compact storage in your guitars case or gig bag.

Auto power-off function ensures longer battery life.
We've added a function that automatically turns off the power even, if you leave the unit with the power on. Since this function works by detecting operations or audio signals within a certain length of time (30 minutes), it has absolutely no effect on normal use. This feature further enhances the convenience of the amPlug.

amPlug is the most convenient way to play.
With the amPlug providing up to 17 hours of battery-powered operation, you'll be able to play anytime and anywhere. Since theres no need for a guitar cable, it's a great way of practicing at home, or warming up before a live performance or while on tour. Also, there's an AUX in jack for your MP3 player, so you can jam along with your favorite songs.

Plugged easily into all of my guitars. I used good quality Bose noise canceling headphones. The amp tone very much captures the feel of a real, high quality amp. The three gain channels allow for slightly overdrive clean tones in the green channel, to AC/DC rock crunch on the orange channel, to Foo Fighters big distortion in the red channel. The Fx at first felt a bit generic, but have 3 separate modes for each chorus, delay, and reverb. I found my happy place on the red channel, gain at 6, tone at 5, and the 3 rd delay setting. You can also play along to your favorite bands through the aux port. A lot of fun, and perfect for practicing when the family is around and don't want to disturb the peace. Also great for travel, or quiet night shift jamming.

Bought this to play using headphones and definitely happy with it. I can walk around the house and stand outside on my front porch and wail away in my own world. I can also plug it into my Bose portable speaker which is perfect for jam sessions outdoors in the backyard or at the cottage with friends. Using the auxiliary input I plug in my iPod and play along with my favourite tunes and backtracks. I tried the AC30 which was a bit cleaner so decided on the Classic Rock as it has a bit more gain and I can get the AC/DC Angus Young style crunch. For the price it's really affordable so I'm even contemplating getting the metal version. I would recommend a quality comfortable pair of over-ear headphones as you will find yourself playing for a while on this. It would be really cool if there was a bluetooth version for wireless headphones.

Great for silent practice at night. Family and neighbors are sleeping and you are hearing a cranked "Marshall-like" amp. really good model and the effects are useful. Despite having tube and modeling amps, I still use this little thing quite a bit, mainly because of its convenience.

Just starting out and this is just what I needed to use backing track, metronome or anything else I need to play along with. Staff at Waterloo were great.

Fantastic little headphone amp and the best way to play when you don't want the whole house to hear. Very happy with the classic rock, I think it has the most variety in tone (three different gain modes from clean to very high gain) and sounds great. The effects aren't the most usable and work best with the low gain mode, but they're still nice to have. Highly recommend getting one of these.
