Vox AC30 Amplug (Headphone Amp)



Price New: $39.00
Year Manufactured: 2008
Specs: Volume, Treble, Gain

Sound: 4/5

The sound is excellent for a headphone amp. The unit emulates the overdriven tones of an AC30 remarkably well. On par with the emulation found on Vox's Valvetronix hybrid amps. The dynamics change when adjusting the volume on the guitar, just like a tube amp. However, playing clean, the tone is average. It really shines when playing rhythm, with the gain turned up. Not a 5/5 since it doesn't have much tonal diversity other than clean, and overdrive.

Equipment Quality: 4/5

It is very lightweight, so durability may not be that great. However, the fact that it plugs directly into the guitar, bypassing the need for a guitar cable really makes a bigger difference than you would initially think, and makes it much more portable, than other headphone amps.

Usefulness: Example 4/5

It is a one trick pony, but does that trick well. AC30 sound in a portable, cheap package. If you dig Brian May, Beatles, and Brit Pop tones, then you'll like the AC30 model. It also comes in a classic rock, and metal model.

Overall Value: 5/5

Easily one of the best guitar headphone amps for the money.
