Vox - AP2AC amPlug 2 Guitar Headphone Amplifier - AC30

Cannot praise this device highly enough. It sounds great, and is ridiculously versatile for such a small device, comprising not only Gain, Tone and Volume controls, together with three levels each of effects options Chorus, Delay and Reverb, but also Tremolo Min, Tremolo Max and Tremolo Off. Two AAA batteries are required (included), and give hours of usage. Just plug it into your guitar, attach headphones (decent pair of over-ear type are best, but don't need to be expensive) and, if wishing to practice over a track by your favourite band, simply attach an appropriate device such as a tablet or 'phone. If you require to free your amPlug2 sound from the confines of headphones, Vox also offer a mini, 2 watt, amPlug2 amp/speaker to which you attach your amPlug2 and play out loud (but not loud enough to annoy the neighbours. The wonderful Vox 50 watt amp/cab stack Mini Superbeetle Audio blue tooth speaker also doubles as a guitar amp, complete with amPlug2 compatibility, but at full volume, this would definitely annoy the next door neighbours, and possibly those further afield. The amPlug has given me new found freedom to play and practice without needing to wait for opportunities where it can be done without audibly intruding on the personal space of others in the household. I have subsequently invested in the equally good Classic Rock amPlug2 (and which, on balance, I prefer), together with both the aforementioned Vox Mini amPlug2 cab/speaker and Superbeetle Audio blue tooth amp/speaker stack. Basically, the freedom afforded by the amPlug2 headphone amp has reinvigorated my love of guitar playing, and I try to squeeze in some practice time on a daily basis. I even felt enthused enough to unnecessarily treat myself to a new guitar. This amPlug2 is real value for money, but it has inadvertently cost me a small fortune.

I’ll admit if I’m not religious with practicing I find it really hard to get back to playing guitar again which is bad. And my jobs make it really hard to practice because it’s hard to cart a massive amp and guitar around. Not any more! I just got this thing and even my Mrs was shocked at its size. But don’t let that fool you. It’s really kicks out some sound! I did read about a hiss and that’s there but once you’re playing loud I challenge anyone to tell you they can hear it then. It’s like being able to turn your big amp up to max and play however you want without disturbing anyone. It’s truly a fantastic little bit of kit and for £30 you’d be a fool not to at least give it a go. I’m currently between bouts of playing ‘Zombie’ like I own Wembley Stadium and in no time at all I fully expect to be almost stone deaf but how much fun have I had getting there!

Let's me practise very quietly when my housemates are asleep. Decent product. And fairplay, it sounds a lot like an AC-30. Although the AC-30 isn't really my cup of tea. A bit too warm for me. Has plenty of effects and ways to play about and is fairly easy to use. Although I'd say steer away from trying to play anything high gain beyond mild grunge, as it gets super muddy. I tend to use this with my single coil pickup guitars, as my Humbucker ones tend be a bit too high output and it goes muddy as I said. But anyhow, I'd recommend it as something great for practise, portable, and affordable, with plenty of ways to muck about with effects and sounds. Not a bad piece of kit.

Firstly, a brief history: my beloved Valvestate amp died after about 20 years and I hastily replaced it with a Marshall Code, which I can't make sound as I want to. So I could rarely be bothered to plug in my Gibson SG standard to play. Then I found out about these headphone amps completely by accident and purchased the AC30 version, not expecting too much. But it is amazing! The warmth and richness of sound that comes out of this tiny box is incredible, and while it's not full of bells and whistles the variety achieved just from gain and tone is more than enough for me. Also, the lack of cables and plugs is so liberating, I can wander round the house as I play and be done in seconds. I'm not sure it would be suitable for recording purposes - it might! - but as an aid to practise it's a wonderful sounding bit of kit, at a good price.

I live in a flat where assembling my amp and pedals is a major hassle. Then when I do get everything going, I feel the need to play quieter than I'd like to. Enter the Vox AP2... All I have to do now is plug this little thing into my guitar, stick my headphones into it and away we go. It's sounds GREAT. Fiddle with the dials as you wish and you'll easily find a fantastic sound. I play a Mexican telecaster and it keeps - if not accentuates - it's signature tone, even when playing through the FX. Which are lovely, by the way. Tremolo. Chorus. Reverb. Delay. All with at least 2 intensity settings. The presets they give you are all you need really. And you can use any of the three with tremolo at the same time! I've had a lot of fun putting my iPod into this too, via the aux input. Sounds great, stereo of course, and it just gives you a really easy way to play along to your fav tunes. Personal favourite is sticking the full tremolo and fully delay on over the top of Kiss Me by Ed Sheeran. Sounds great if you get the levels right. For £35 it's incredible. Something you can take with you anywhere.

Produto excelente! Muito fácil de se adaptar e muito prático, mesmo para iniciantes.

Bon, ce n'est pas un ampli VOX grosse puissance, mais un petit accesoire génial qui n'a pas à avoir honte de ses capacités. loin de là. Juste ce qu'il faut pour un training quotidien, et le son VOX dans le casque... vraiment un tout petit investissement pour un accessoire qui ne me quitte plus où que j'aille avec ma gratte.

Amplificatore di qualità, suono bello e pulito con tanti effetti come il distorsore, chorus, riverbero e delay i materiali di produzione non sembrano al top anzi sembrano quasi fragili ma se usato con il giusto criterio può durare anni. Oltre agli effetti selezionabili è dotato di 3 potenziometri (volume, tono e gain) ottimo da usare con gli auricolari o con una cassa esterna tramite cavo aux. Occhio alle batterie che vanno sostituite in base alla frequenza di uso, all'incirca durano 3/4 ore

Perfect

Als großer Queen-Fan, der den typischen Sound von Brian May liebt, der seinen legendären AC30 verwendet, habe ich mich für den VOX amPlug2 AC30 Kopfhörer-Verstärker entschieden. Mit diesem Gerät kann ich jederzeit und überall E-Gitarre üben, ohne meine Nachbarn oder Mitbewohner zu stören. Das kompakte Design und die leichte Handhabung machen diesen Mini-Amp zu einem absoluten Must-have für jeden Gitarristen, der den legendären VOX AC30-Sound in einer portablen und praktischen Form genießen möchte.

Klangqualität und Einstellungsmöglichkeiten: ★★★★★ Der Mini-Verstärker bietet den charakteristischen Top Boost AC30-Sound, der auch von Brian May von Queen verwendet wird. Die Klangqualität ist super, allerdings kann die Bedienung der Drehregler für Gain, Tone und Lautstärke sowie der Effekte Chorus, Delay und Reverb etwas fummelig sein. Zum Vergleich habe ich den AC30VR, aber der amPlug2 AC30 überzeugt durch seinen vollen, dynamischen Sound, der auch bei geringer Lautstärke nicht an Qualität verliert. Anschlussmöglichkeiten: ★★★★★ Der verstellbare 6,3 mm-Klinkenanschluss ermöglicht das direkte Anschließen an die Gitarre, auch für schräge Klinkenbuchsen, wie sie beispielsweise an ST-Style Gitarren zu finden sind. Der 3,5 mm-AUX-In-Anschluss bietet die Möglichkeit, Kopfhörer oder externe Geräte wie MP3-Player, iPods, iPhones, Smartphones und mehr anzuschließen, um zu Backing Tracks oder Playalongs zu üben. Betriebsdauer und Lieferumfang: ★★★★★ Der amPlug2 AC30 hat eine sehr gute Betriebsdauer (angeblich bis zu 17 Stunden mit 2 x AAA-Alkalibatterien). Im Lieferumfang sind bereits 2 x AAA-Alkalibatterien für Testzwecke enthalten. Wenn man nicht spielt, schaltet er sich nach 30 Minuten ab. Ich nutze immer noch den ersten Satz. Zusätzliche Nutzung: ★★★★★ Ich nutze den amPlug2 AC30 jetzt auch zusammen mit dem VOX Mini Superbeetle Audio, was eine hervorragende Kombination für das Üben und Jammen zu Hause darstellt. Preis-Leistungsverhältnis: ★★★★★ Das Preis-Leistungsverhältnis des VOX amPlug2 AC30 ist Sehr gut. Die Qualität des Sounds und die Flexibilität, die der Mini-Amp bietet, sind definitiv den Preis wert. Fazit: ★★★★★ Der VOX amPlug2 AC30 Kopfhörer-Verstärker ist ein hervorragendes Produkt für E-Gitarrenspieler, insbesondere Queen-Fans und Liebhaber des ikonischen Brian May-Sounds. Die tragbare und benutzerfreundliche Form ermöglicht das Üben zu jeder Zeit und an jedem Ort, ohne dabei auf den legendären VOX AC30-Klang verzichten zu müssen. Obwohl die Bedienung der Drehregler und Effekte etwas fummelig sein kann, überwiegen die Vorteile bei weitem. Die Kombination mit dem VOX Mini Superbeetle Audio erweitert zudem die Nutzungsmöglichkeiten und macht das Üben und Jammen zu Hause noch angenehmer. Insgesamt ist der amPlug2 AC30 aufgrund seines ausgezeichneten Preis-Leistungsverhältnisses und der hohen Klangqualität absolut empfehlenswert!
