Written by one of our gear experts!
It would take an awesome product to make me switch to something different. At this price it's hard to beat, and easy to replace if necessary.
Sound
This amPlug is amazing. The tone that comes from it is incredible considering the size and that it's powered by AAA batteries.
Features
The ability to connect headphones and an aux source is perfect. I can hook up my computer or iPod and play along to my favorite tracks without waking the neighbors. I only wish you could adjust the delay time but for the price it's still totally worth it.
Ease of Use
It has 3 dials to adjust gain, volume, and tone, and one switch to turn it on and engage the delay.
Quality
The unit seems a bit fragile since it's mostly plastic but if handled with care it could last a long time. I've used it non-stop since I got it and if it were to break I would buy a new one without hesitation.
Value
This is totally worth the price. It's the best portable amp I've owned.
Manufacturer Support
I haven't had to contact Vox.
The Wow Factor
This is a guitar player's best friend. You can literally practice anywhere, anytime, without being too loud.
