Digging the Amplug

[jubal81]

I've been building a lot at night so I bought a Vox Amplug headphone amp and I'm pretty impressed with it. I got the AC30 model. I've had a few headphone amps in the past, Rockman, Pocket POD, Dean, a few others, but this easily sounds the best.

It also takes pedals like a champ. I plowed it with as much boost as I could and couldn't hear any ugly opamp clipping. Pretty shocked at that one.

It sounds Voxy enough, and the tone is good enough so as not to be distracting - which is about as much as I can expect from a headphone amp. Should be a big help testing circuits.

I've been looking at these after seeing them advertised in a mag. Glad you think it's good, makes the decision to get one easier!

Agreed. I have had the AC30 Amplug for a few years and the little guy still amazes me through a good pair of headphones. I have not tried the other versions

That's good to hear.  I've been temped to buy one of these for late night practicing... I just figure t would sound horrible.  Now I think ill pick one up.

wow, now I'm thinking about getting one.  i find that I'm not practicing much (or not at all) these days so maybe this would be nice to have, especially since it takes pedals.

Thanks for the heads up on this.

Sounds like it would make a good bench/workshop amp for those evening builds!

I just plug mine into the strat with a pair of earbuds, sit on the couch and fiddle away. You can dial in overdrive on it and does have some nice voxy faux-chime in there.  I use it also when traveling. Also got the little cab for it as well for bench-top testing.

Worth every penny for a little headphone amp.
