The amPlug series of palm-sized headphone guitar amps make it easy to enjoy great guitar/bass sounds at home, in your room, or anywhere. This lineup is now joined by the amPlug Joe Satriani signature model, which borrows freely from the VOX/Joe Satriani line of signature pedal effects.

With its bright red body, the "amPlug Joe Satriani" delivers the awesome sound of Joe Satriani's custom rig - distortion pedal through a high-gain vacuum tube amplifier, followed by a delay - and reproduces the settings created by Joe himself. Inspired by the distortion circuitry of the VOX/Joe Satriani Satchurator pedal, the amPlug Joe Satriani preserves much of the "pick attack" to create an articulate, playable distortion.

Flick the switch to activate the analog-style delay effect. Inherited from the "Lo-Fi mode" of the VOX/Joe Satriani Time Machine delay pedal, the delay features Joe's distinctive EQ tone, read more combining both high-pass and low-pass filters.

Use the AUX input jack to plug your CD/MP3 player right into the amPlug Joe Satriani and jam along! Play along with Joe Satriani's classic tunes, or with any of your favorite music. Enjoy the amPlug's extreme play-anywhere portability, with up to eleven hours of battery life.

Simply plug the amPlug Joe Satriani directly into your electric guitar, connect your headphones, and you're ready to enjoy playing using Joe Satriani's powerful and expansive sound. Of course, you can also connect the optional amPlug cabinet (sold separately) and create your own miniature amp stack!

Vox amPlug APJS Mini Amp Customer Review

Overall: 4.5 out of 5 stars
(see rating details)
Verified Customer zZounds has verified that this reviewer made a purchase from us.
I really like the Amplug. It's the perfect solution for me when I want to practice while at work or even at home. I can just pick up my guitar, throw on some headphones and I'm in my own world.
Sound
The JS Amplug has a decent sound, though not as good through the headphones as the Youtube videos that I watched using this before buying. One can get a decent clean tone by turning down the gain. The distortion is a little anemic, but this is the JS version and not the metal Amplug.
Features
The volume, gain, and built in delay make for good variety of tones for practicing.
Ease of Use
The Amplug is very simple to use with few controls creating good sounds. There's almost no learning curve. It's a plug and play.
Quality
The outside cover is medium quality plastic that I don't think would take alot of abuse. It's a little odd that a JS Amplug would barely fit into the plug on my Ibanez JS guitar.
Value
Good price for a decent item.
The Wow Factor
The Amplug is the perfect device for what it's designed for. I wouldn't use it as a sound on a gig, but it's perfect for practicing while at work or on the road.
