Hi Ana, it's not a stupid question at all. So, the sound you hear in the video was recorded via a condenser microphone and a program called Mixcraft. But I did NOT enhance the audio in any way, shape or form. I simply produced a .wav file which I then added to the video. I hope that answers your question - if not, please let me know.

My exact thoughts savage bloody savage 😂🤘🏼

Yup, pretty much the exact same reason why I bought my amplug. In my case it wasn't the neighbors but family members who don't necessarily share my musical preferences..;-)

BTW: Gain is always "some kinda volume control, too"! It in fact is a primary volume control (which on the AC30 original and any other tube amp will level the amount of pre-amplification). The namely Volume control is a "master" volume to select the power amp section output - so far for the original tech concept. Thus, pre-amp Gain usually is the main control over your amps basic tone, selecting between low = clean output and high = distorted output. The power amp section tubes will only begin to break up (i.e. distort) at rather high levels of amplification (i.e. high volume). So if you want power tube distortion tone at civilized volume levels you will have to leave the pre-amplification (=Gain) set very low. (And yes, I know, that equation leaves out the plucking and strumming, the volume control of the guitar etc.). It is just that it really is no surprise or news at all that turning the gain all the way down will mute the thing completely. Just sayin'. :-)

Thanks for the comment, Ralf.

It does way more, there are tons of effects settings that can be set on 3 differant channels, press the power switch up to 3 times for either a red, orange or green lite, and there is a button on top for all kinds of effects like echo, the thing is really great , be careful when buying one though some are just 1 station for just metal, another is the one you showed and also the one I have which I like best it has Metal plus clean if you play blues, country , metal etc, than get this 1 it will say it on the box, it cost about $30 here in NY

Thanks Ulrich, I am continually amazed by this little device, I use mine more and more - I love the very quick 'time to first output' - no waiting on tubes to warm up - untangling patch cables etc. Not to mention you're free to roam about - I think a bluetooth/wireless add on would be even better

Sorry, that this video isn't meeting your expectations. Let me know what I could have done to make it more entertaining for you.

Thank you very much for the kind words and the feedback - I appreciate it.

Just bought the one for bass. It has three rhythm tracks built in so you can create your own bass lines and work on timing. Worth every penny.

It works with bass extremely well, amazingly enough. Yes, that's right - BASS. I was pretty surprised, but the sound is really nice and rich.

No problem I just ordered my ac30 amplug after watching this video :) Another great thing you can do with this, is that you can go to an open mic and bring just this little thing and a 1/8 to 1/4 adapter and you can plug into the PA system so you can play without having to bring a large amp.

I bought one a couple of weeks ago for practice and love it.

Oh well, that's a lot of praise. But I really appreciate your kindness and I'm glad you found the video helpful. Thank you very much.

Got my amPlug a few days ago, largely based on this review, so thanks! For others thinking of buying, the gain is a generic "tube" crunch, but thinner, and I just keep gain and the tone at 10, volume at 5. Not something I'd ever want to actually sound like, but for practice, it's fine. The mp3 player input is pure gold. Very helpful and fun. With a few cheap adaptor cables you can run it into an effects board and out into headphones or small speakers, which helps a lot. One issue is that it tends to slip around a bit, and fell out of my guitar's output once, so no jumping around like a rock star.

Fantastic. I have commented on the metal one. I really want to get one now. I'm just sick of having to get told to turn my guitar down and I really want to do some night time practice. Thank god vox came up with these.

Hey Daniel, yeah, the Vox amplugs are great practicing devices. I really like the way they sound and of course, the fact that they are very handy and practical.

The best review of this device out of all of the reviews on KZread. Thanks.

Great review man, I needed a way to practice in the evening whilst people in my house are relaxing or sleeping. I think this will do the trick.

Danny: There are no "built in" speakers in the amplug. You either need headphones or PC speakers.

Nice review Ulrich. I think you've convinced me to buy one. I appreciate your efforts to help fellow guitarists.

Thanks! This looks to be a cool little accessory for practicing! Vox should add Bluetooth so you could connect it to a friends speaker if hanging out in order to play for them. BTW to the more than 500 people who gave this a thumbs down... are you upset this mini practice amp exists?

Great review I'm going to pick one up in guitar center now!

I bought this so as to practice privately, not to disturb the neighbors. The sound it makes is great, sounds like a real AC30.

Thank you for a very comprehensive review.

Well, like demonstrated in the video, you can use PC Speakers. It depends what you mean by "public" - if you want to use the amplug on a stage to entertain an audience, you would have to connect it to a regular amp. While I personally haven't tried that yet, it seems to work well based on what the other folks shared in their comments here. Was I able to answer your question?

Well IMO I don't think that it would be that bad for a beginning player, but for a more experienced player it comes down to you and your headphones that can make or break it for you. Definitely try it.

I have the Vox metal amp and it is great for playing on the road and sounds amazing! Great for apartments when rock out late at night or early morning sessions too.

Thanks for the hard work of making/posting.

the guitar center dude showed me this on the rack when I asked about portability, the irig and blackstar travel box

I just thought about your question. I guess I could try plugging the amPlug direcly into a pedal and then just connect the pedal to the guitar -and see what happens. I will try that later and let you know.

Jonas, yes you can connect you pedals. I tried it with the BigMuff and it worked well. As far as the sound is concerned, I actually was positively surprised. But also I came is with rather limited expectations, admittedly.

Thanks for your feedback, Hondo - glad it was of help. I'm sure you'll have fun with that accessory.

Hi Debanjit. No, only the three dial buttons I showed you in the video. That's it. They kept it very simple.

Stephen, okay, here is what I just did: I connected my I-Phone via the AUX input with the amplug. The sound quality is great AND you can mess around with the dials of the amplug as much as you want, it DOES NOT affect your aux signal in any way. Whatever you do on the amplug in terms of adjustments, only affect the guitar signal, but not the aux device,. I hope this helps.

Wow this video is 8 years old

That is soo cool Have to get one !!!!

Joe, yes - but from what I understand you can use a "converter" plug to have it hooked up to a regular amp. Again, nothing that I ever tried - but based on input I received from others.

Good review and exactly the info I needed, thanks

Glad you ound the video helpful - thanks a lot!

Thanks Carole. The critics are right, though: it was too lenghty and too rambly. But I'm not a professional reviewer, guitar player or video maker. The fact is, these things are harder to do then they look. Hindsight is always 20/20. I'm glad that this video was overall valuable to most viewers - and I know that my subsequent demo videos of the newer amplug models (have you seen those?) are in my opinion significantly better than my debut. ;-)

These sound amazing plugged into your car audio input.

Hi there. Yes, the PC speakers were directly plugged into the device - and it won't cause any damage to either speakers or headphones.

Thanks so much , I ll definitely buy one for my bass as I'm a beginner, to make sure I understand by plugging with earphones that means only I will hear the music playing and not my neighbors?

I got the last one at a Sam Ash guitar center and it was for classic rock. It sounds really really good. Def invest in some good headphones for these

Playing a Sabbath riff was very cool. Thanks for the review!

Very nice looking SG. I just recently got the classic version of the AmPlug 2 and these little units are sweet. I think my next will be the ac 30 as I would think it be different from classic whereas the blues one I’m also considering is probably fairly similar. I really like the tone on your ac30 when the tone was about half and gain was on the higher end. That was nice sweet. Got a little brash for me with tone too high. I’ve found I can even get a nice clean tone that gets a little grit when I dig in on the green channel on my classic. I am going to get a 6’ extension cable so that I can have the amp where I want (on table in front of me with my IPAD) and not flopping around on the guitar. Thanks for review and good job.

Thanks Sir! Keep up the good reviews!

So just makes you pretty much mobile to practice anywhere right? Now do the volume and tone controls on the guitar work with that also? And do these work with earbud instead of over the ear muff type headphones? And you're saying you can plug an auxiliary device and play along with pre-recorded music?

I like that classy AC30 clean tone

I like the aux. Connection. That's pretty cool.

I'm actually about to do a review on the Tascam GB-10..;-). Well, I think the two devices have an entirely different purpose. But I see your point, the GB-10 has much more functionality. An while you might not be able to emulate that AC30 sound with the GB-10, I don't think there's a point getting the amplug if you already own the GB-10.

Thank you my friend, great video!!..... Will have to buy one.

Purchased the AC30, not sturdy housing at all. The first one I purchased, the jack shorted out within a couple of weeks. Purchased a replacement, the axillary didn't work at all after three days, and I'm just a lap picker. IMO the sound is great but the price should like a $10 - $15 considering the plastic parts and fairly easy breakage, again just my opinion.

Thanks man! That was extremely helpful. BIG UP

Hope you'll enjoy it, buddy.

Do you have to use a speaker or earphones. soesnt this device work as an amp/speak if you dont plug anything into it?

Adding new batteries, what a typical duration of a session would be?

@GuitarIngenuity

7 жыл бұрын

Carlos, that strongly depends on how long 'a session' is. The newer amplug versions have an auto - power off function, in contrast to the this particular device I demonstrated in this video. This one has a switch and if you forget to set it to "Off" when done playing, then you'll drain the battery. However, if you only power the device on when needed and shut it off when you're done, the batteries last quite a while. But I can't give you an exact metric.

Athul, I don't have a bass to try it out. But I am certain that it works well with a bass.

I don't mean any harm and I apprecieate the review because I plan to by one, but he can leave out the extra details such as the output jack and the knobs, etc. Just get to playing.

Great demonstration. It's always boring to put out the jacks, amplifiers, effects and all for a 15 minutes session... Going to store tomorrow !

Wow, cool idea - I got to try that out. Thanks.

Thanks, great video. It fits a strat better than Les paul. My aux doesn't work on my metal Vox, but it cranks. I recently bought a Bose color 2 and it it awesome to practice at the river or on the fly wireless. I might buy another one for fun. Thanks again.

Hey nice gibson, I started at a late age playing the guitar. Learning notes,chords,songs, I started at 25 years old. Now I'm 32 years old, got some free time lately. Hope it's ok for late bloomer to learn and play guitar. Also what type of head phones would you recommend.

Which cable should be used to connect to guitar?

Can you run effects such as Reverb / Delay, Phase etc. through that unit?

Thank you for this review, musicians friend is currently out of stock hopefully I can still get one from Amazon. Thanks again!

It's just the regular PC-speaker cable. But instead of having it plugged into my PC, I had it plugged into the amPlug.

That's awesome! I'm looking in to getting one

Does the device have to be connected directly to the guitar ? I mean, would it still work if there there was an extension cable between the guitar and device - I've currently got my guitar on eBay because I don't practise due to living in a shared house, but I'd really prefer to keep it, I'd like to learn to play, however basic/beginner I really am. This looks like a great solution. Thanks for teaching us all something new :)
