Improved sound and convenience! ...amPlug, the number one choice for headphone guitar amplification, is now even better!

With amPlug 2, the crucial analog circuit has been drastically improved, and each model now provides three modes. Guitar types provide multi-effect functionality, and a rhythm function has been added to the bass type. 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.

Highlights:
  • No need for a guitar cable! Plug it directly into your guitar; the latest version of this headphone guitar amp is the fastest way to get authentic amplifier sound.
  • The fully-analog circuit has been totally reworked for an even clearer and more present sound!
  • "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.
  • The AP2-BS 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.

Great idea - poorly executed. This thing hisses like a snake (confirmed by many other reviews also) the different tones are not all that different, and it absolutely EATS batteries. Even with removing it from the bass and taking out the headphones when not using it you get max 4 hours from one set of batts. Eliminate the hiss and make it rechargeable - THEN it's worth the money!

I was really surprised by the tone quality of this amp. It's quite good with the right headphones. I mostly use the normal gain input and have the tone around midway. It has several rhythm tracks to jam to but accessing all of them is a bit clumsy. My only real complaint about this product is that it's quite delicate. I could see it breaking easy with people more rough on their stuff. But for the money, I don't think you can beat the Vox amPlug bass amp.

I've had 2 vox mini amplifiers. The 1st was for bass guitar. It fell 2 feet to a rubber floor and the plug broke off. I was on holiday at the time and the only one in stock in Sudbury was the blues one. While using it, it kept shutting off. Figuring maybe removing and reinserting would solve the problem the plug broke off. The idea is great. The durability is not.

I got the bass model. Nice tool for practicing. The MP3 player feeding in is pretty cool. I use that mini amp with a bass or a guitar. Comfortable, small. Does not get in the way. The nine (9) rythm tracks are not bad, up tempo up/down, adjustable sound level. I mostly use the shuffle and steady rock beat. There's third one I use once in a while when I want to be that cool dude who plays free jazz. Then I take a break. That's tiring, free jazz! (...)

Bought to practice with my bass, works well and is plenty "Loud enough, if you use good headphones and not cheap in ear ones that come with you phone. Using Sony V500 phones and on high gain mode, I had to turn down a bit. I will get many practice sessions out of this

Cheaply made, not very loud, a bit clumsy to use and its uncomfortable mounting makes it susceptible to strikes. Can't believe this thing has received so many good reviews....just doesn't measure up imo. Advice? Keep shopping.

Has fantastic tone and a built-in compressor, making it compatible with non-professional headphones (I use SOL Republic V10)without any popping or distorting. Plenty of volume, but the 3 rhythm tracks are quite obscure to use as a metronome and are disappointing.
