Hi guys, Does anyone have experience with the Vox Ampplug? I'm thinking it might be fun for late night practice. Wondering how they sound?

I have the AC30 version of the AmPlug. It's a great little device! I like it because it is so handy and simple to use. I just plug it into my guitar and hook up my headphones (and external music device if I want), and I'm ready to play. The sound is great, and you can adjust the amount of gain and volume and set your tone as desired. It's just emulating one amp (AC30), so it might be considered a little limiting in that respect. When you think about it, all amps (unless they are modeling amps), are limiting in that respect, but with amps, you can use pedals or multi-effects units to flavor your tone. All in all, I think the AmPlug is worth getting because it sounds great, you can practice quietly, and you can hook it up to your computer for online lessons without having to lug around your amp to your computer work area.

Thanks gasman, the AC30 is the one I'm looking at too. If it's as good as you say, I think the metal one for my grandson will be on his Christmas list too.

Amplugs are very good but very one dimensional I have got one but in all honesty if I were to buy another I would try a Pocket Pod first.
But yes they sound great, are very small, very easy to use and have good battery life- I use mine on holiday and to play outside
If you just want an AC30 in your pocket they are great - if you want any effects, metronome etc look elsewhere

Hey HJ, welcome back (again)! RK was just about to revive the old "where's HJ?" thread!
