SOUND QUALITY

I use a passive fretless Luthman Wave. I love the bass sounds such rights, the amPlug makes a significant color distortion but not unpleasant that will please those who like more distorted sounds. FX mode is in my opinion irrelevant. The breath is important at high volume.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had two days. It can play in any room of the house and go on holiday with low hanging without an amp.

But I do not use daily: the headphone plugged into the amp is much better. To play with a player: like, interesting travel, otherwise a small mixer with a preamp, which is also on the lower branch is not much more expensive (in time) and it is as well.

It's really a nomad accessory therefore reasonably priced, but not absolutely replace a real amp, even for work headphone.

The buy? Why not to take the bass on vacation. But I bought it more as an interesting alternative to connect the headphones to the amp, and on that side I planted. Anyway, I keep it anyway.

UTILIZATION

standard jack plug

1 Indeed, one entry for.

supply 2 AAA batteries

SOUND QUALITY

sound quality average but adequate

I left two basses: Ibanez SR300 4 string and Warwick Streamer Standard 5 String rockbass

both with jack connector through which pose qqs false contact

can work his bass anywhere (living room, in the street, in a room before repeat ...)

OVERALL OPINION

2 years but not all the time I am a drummer who learns low

Cheap, troubleshoots, avoids avori connect to a real amp ...

no other models tested

A great little tool to play without disturbing the environment.

It plugs into the jack on the bass. It connects with a good headphone and example to his computer to play with guitar pro or an mp3 player and go.

We get a good bass sound with or without distortion.

It runs on two AAA batteries, I put rechargeable batteries otherwise it wears relatively quickly for everyday use.

UTILIZATION

Three settings are available with small knobs: gain, tone, volume.

Avoid putting the gain knob on the bottom but otherwise the sound palette is sufficient.

SOUND QUALITY

It may sound "nature" or just saturated it takes. The sustain is made.

I use both with a passive bass with an active.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for two months this has changed my life, I can play anywhere without disturbing those around me. I find her stunning FX mode but the volume is a little low in normal mode (this is in my opinion the only flaw.
For less than 40 € is really a purchase I do not regret it, I use it every day.

Small amp simulator at Vox.

UTILIZATION

It plugs into the female jack of the bass or guitar (it works very well with a guitar, better than a bass amp with a guitar does not work I usually find). It has a clean channel and an overdrive channel, gain control, volume and tone.
A headphone input, an external source input jack mini format.
So we just play with headphones in silence all external source by sending a metronome, songs, a drum machine, etc ... You can also use the headphone output for connecting speakers or another story to get out of her in case of small composition session with other musicians or playing low volume (and yes it will still not ask for much!) with them.

SOUND QUALITY

As long as you have good headphones the sound quality is good! I use it on bass and guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for almost a year, I'm on holiday with all guitar and bass, I can work anywhere with her, and that's cool! It also allows me to get into sessions without waking times night compulsive baby or the whole house, I play with the accompaniment and sounds good to pass without hearing anything to 2 meters.

Short little tool very useful work, far from being a gimmick.

Quality / price ratio for a great tool that I use it almost daily. I would do without hesitation that choice

Looks like a li'l bitty Vox head that plugs directly into your output jack. Plug in your favorite headphones (1/8 in jack)and play anywhere anytime. You can plug in a sound source in a separate jack. (PC, Mp3 player, etc. also with 1/8 in jack.)
Has multiple controls for multiple effects. Has overdrive setting.

I've been playing 4/5 string bass guitars on and off for 40 years. Have sat in/subbed for band members who couldn't make the gig/practice. Play for fun.

Play Classic Rock mostly, Prefer the old 3 man power group stuff like Cream, Blue Cheer and the Hook.

Got this because I needed to play silently, in spaces much smaller than a stage/garage.
Got it online at Musician's Friend, at approx 50 bux just after Christmas 2009.

I like the size, the 2 jacks, the amount of adjustment on such a small unit. It fits VERY snugly in the jack of my current knock-around bass,(Rogue LX205B Series II)Could carry it in a pocket or in the guitar case, as compared to my Carvin stack... Which you could't...

Nothing to dislike so far...

Made of metal/plastic and seems pretty solid, but I wouldn't want to try to break pavement with it... Treat it as you would ANY peice of quality equipment.

So far it has done everything I was told it would do and what I expect it to do.

I rate it Doubleplusgood.

This handy gadget is made to look like the classic diamond-grillecloth Vox amp heads that the Beatles made popular. It's designed wit 90-degree angled 1/4' plug to be plugged straight into your bass. An aux input and headphones out allow you to play along with music without having to drag even a small practice amp long. Normal and FX channels. Runs on AAA zinc-carbon batteries (included) or alkalines. I've played bass for 45 years.

The amPLug is brand new but I found a dealer who had picked one up at NAMM 2010. List price is $64, street $45. Didn't buy it because I have a headphone amp already.

It's tiny -- fits in a gig bag easily or even in a shirt pocket. It does what it promises: easy access to practicing or playing along with music without bugging your neighbors. sound in the normal channel is quite good. FX? Meh ...

The FX sound -- selected with a switch -- is not that great, basically distortion. Switch is on the bottom of the unit -- hard to access when plugged in. Although other reviewers stated that the unit popped out of the bass jack easily, that didn't happen to me.

Appears to be solid.

If you need a low-cost headphone amp that will accept a CD/MP3 player, the Vox amPLug Bass Headphone Amp could be the one for you. Inexpensive --around $50 -- it plugs directly into your bass for silent practice. If you travel and spend lots of time in hotel rooms, this could be ideal. Decent sound from its normal channel, less than ideal from the FX channel. I rate it 3 because of reports from other reviewers that the unit pops out of the guitar jack, although that didn't happen to me.

UTILIZATION

On paper this Amplug is great.

However, I strongly advise interested to try Amplug with their low and sources of music prior to purchase. Do not buy blindly.

Construction very fragile and messy after two purchases the same problems: taking "in" (to) for a new source (eg MP3 player) is a non-bypassed, which results in a loss of volume and quality, and secondly the plug is too large and does not house a male 3.5 correctemment.

Similarly, the jack 6.5 is too short by at least 1.5 mm, which prevents a return to the means taken on the edge of some low, and made false contacts even on flat bass taken of "facade", and even more strange, as the tip of the plug 6.5 does not touch the bottom of the female on the guitar or on a homemade extension cord, the sound from the MP3 comes out at all from the headphones! Why do that, I do not know anything but when you touch the tip with your finger it works better (but still very bad). The form 6.5 is also very mobile and should be tripatouillée to let the sound of the bass.

To summarize: the sound of the bass is achieved by tinkering, that of the MP3 is like a walkman at least from the drone doom recorded on a 4-track in 1980 in the woods, at a very low volume and still cut without fiddling the cards.

In short, avoid unless conclusive test. I tried with different cables, plugs, mounts, springs, and I even disassembled and resoldered an extension, without success.

OVERALL OPINION

A large dung for me, something génail for others? I throw in the towel, I will not attempt a third time.

What are the effects or types of effects available?

gain / tone / volume, and a compressor espce.

What technology is used? (Analog, numrique, lamp ...)

plastics and electronics, I do not think there is a lamp in there ... it's a mini headphone amplifier, although s ^ ^ ur

What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)

so there Intgr jack that connects the output of the low output to Stereo 3.5 mm headphone and a line between idem. Finally, it is not exactly a line between, as it supports interlaced signals into signals lignesou headphones.

Is this a rack or rack MODEL?

if you want to rack has, you're crazy ^ ^.

UTILIZATION

it's simple, you put a battery, you turn, you drink a beer and playing.
what's cool is that you can take to Macca or nino Ferrer, because you can connect the sound output anything on the Amplug, and presto, After a few rglages , immertion total. in addition, with the headphones on, we can sing because no agreement. Please note, if other ...
trs good to train, I think.

SOUND QUALITY

well, it's not so bad, it works well with all headphones (I tried with headphones Misr open and closed sennheiser headphones), a precision or HOFNER is ok, but I can not find the sound vox I expected, I have not tried with Aut'Chose ... except a Farfisa organ and a tlcaster: a marchetrs well, really well trs.

rglages allow the game to the fingers and mdiator, I do not know slapper, my 4-string basses have only short, I'm not funky or handjob, DSOL for fans, it's not with me they will be an IDE.

Intgr the compressor is unnecessary for me is by writing the résumé that I remembered that there was one!



OVERALL OPINION

I have 3 months (40 euros), and yrflchissant, I used almost every day ... the battery is good, once, by the way!
before I had the headphone output of a transistor fender, but I sold. Amplug so I bought the headset to play, and this is my first bass vox!
I play bass "for real" on an AC30 or a bassman. I thought naively find the sound of the AC30, but it is not the case, the attack is quite similar, which is surprising, but the sound is more round, pleased ^ ^ ot as bassman.
the style of the case is vintage fashion (not bad), strong enough, as are connections.
In conclusion, the report quality price is ok, sound ok, functions ok. To find more, I think it will be less simple and more expensive!

I is not need two Amplug, but I think to try the m ^ th typ AC30 model that exists for my tl.

<ul>

What are the effects or types of effects available?
Fx command mode by the switch to start three positions: off / on / fx

Are ditables? Via an editor Mac / PC?
No nothing like a.

What technology is used? (Analog, numrique, lamp ...)
Given the size and the simplicity of the thing the question does not arise.

What is the connection? (Audio / MIDI)
6.35 male Jack out of the skyscraper to the module
Jack 3.5 female to come into line / to the module
Jack 3.5 female to exit the module from the headphone so 2in/1out

</ul>

UTILIZATION

<ul>

Configuration gnrale Is it easy?
A 3-position switch (see above) and 3 knobs, I find a simple trs.

The edition of sound effects or is it easy?
The TRS is also simple: y 'no! lol

The manual is clear and sufficient?
Yes except for the famous fashion fx

</ul>

SOUND QUALITY

<ul>

The effects are they effective, suitable and adequate ralistes?
Also the famous fashion fx I do not recommend

What are those you prfrez, you dtest?
In terms of rglages:
Gain: 6 8 max
Tone: 1 (thus the minimum)
Volume: 6 8 max
To del these values ​​we will see a monstrous blast in the fx mode is worse (thus banishing).

Which instruments do you use?
Ibanez GSR 200 active

</ul>

OVERALL OPINION

<ul>

How long have you use it?
Date

What is the particular feature you like best and least?
Pros: Compact and smart
Cons: when connected to the end of the guitar and wanting to turn it on or dyed, often I get the diode instead of the switch with the tip of the nail.

Have you tried many other models before acqurir?
No, but I have long hsit between a pod or a belt or an amplifier.

How do you report qualitprix? Correct, unless IRONMONGER than I feared, for something that is sold between 40 and 50 euros, made in japan (though if it's written on it!), We will say that a go. Made Besides, I think the assembly would have worse t (in the sense most hazardous).

Exprience with, you will do again this choice?
Yes because my rpond perfectly impractical.

</ul>

Well, the other guys have done very well so I will not go above. It's just what it takes to play in my 2 rooms without flipping out my girlfriend and neighbors. Nickel. Cons by the battery cover is pourrave, that makes lead-painted toys made in China. I chew it not that thing (but ...)

UTILIZATION

The manual is not needed is very simple, easy and instinctive. Found easily but the sound output level of attention to the bass that you use. It works best with a passive bass with a soft acitve spirited. If you plug a bass that has the potato, put the tone at least if it is unusable.
Avoid: fx position which is actually an overdrive rotten.

SOUND QUALITY

As I said earlier, we must pay attention to the low branch above it. I try not to put my Rickenbacker or my customized Thunderbird because it sounds in the acute and bvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv BVVVVVVVVVVVVVVV bass. on the other hand, with my Traben Obsession switchée in liabilities, it's perfect. The rendering is very correct.
What is rather funny is that I really find it difficult to record with the correct stuff on my record (Line 6 UX2). I tried everything and it's still disgusting. So, in desperation, I plugged my bass on my amPlug, the headphone output and I went into the external mic input on my mac. I opened my garage band ... and surprise! The sound is nickel. I who was expecting a huge loss, I was stuck (and my guitar which mixes). No latency obviously a clear, precise and rock'n roll. It's really in the old pots you make the best soups. Well ... it's a hobby that would scream any sound engineer, but it sounds.

OVERALL OPINION

Nickel for what I want. Cheap. Practical and useful. Super gadget, but not to hold up 10 years. In addition you can record and play with his favorite records.

If you are a bass player and you cannot play the bass in an apartment of something where there are thin walls or being quiet is an issue than this is your tool. I know that bass can travel a lot further sometimes than a guitar can since the low end frequencies can travel and literally shake the walls. My wife constantly tells me to turn down the bass because she can feel it all the way downstairs. This is the devise you need to curb your thundering low end in a home that is not capable of killing the sound or dampening the feel of your bass amp.

SOUND QUALITY

The tone from this thing is the most impressive thing to me. When I think of these modeler amp which this thing is sort of, it is a modeler with one tone but it still replicate the tone of a solid bass amp. The tone is thick and meaty that give playing a whole new dimension.

It sounds great going into a recording device or a computer. It actually sounds best in the computer application than it would with headphones. Just grab your favorite bass and quietly play along without any interruption.

OVERALL OPINION

This thing is that good! It really does sound alike a full bodied bass amp that is throwing our 900 watts of raging power. The voicing of this device is just perfect! The tones and notes just come through so well. It makes playing bass fun.

At new these units come in at around $50 which a little bit higher than the other pocket amps from Vox. The tone is based off of the Vox AC100 and it captures it very well in my opinion. It has an FET buffer circuit so that probably constitutes the extra $10 for this amp.

It is a tiny amp simulator for Bass as its name indicates.
The colors of (real) VOX amp that gives it a good face despite the fact that everything is in plastic.
There is only one purpose (according to the manual: comp / boost) whose only interest is to make your buzzer low, less than the minimum pay the gain and volume.
Otherwise there are two mini-jack sockets (in and out) and of course a jack to plug.
7 / 10 because of how rotten and FX a bit of the plastic aspect of it.

UTILIZATION

Is simplistic to use, it plugs into skyscrapers, we put the headphone is lighter.
It adjusts the gain, tone and volume in 30 seconds it's ready.
There is a manual with the usual precautions, but honestly it is useless.
A single defect quibble: the adjustment knobs that are too close to each other, the blow if we do not watch it crashes once on three.
Otherwise it's very useful as gear, it can take anywhere.
9 / 10

SOUND QUALITY

I bought it to play with my headphone (brand new) thunderbird IV.
I really expected something of the style gadget but if you stay wise on the settings the sound is very nice, unlike what was said barberoots just below (perhaps a matter of micro)
Being also a fan of Lo-Fi, FX mode disto-a-rotten-all-makes me laugh, but this is just funny, if you want something "clean" should forget this mode FX .
I do not know if it approximates the sound of the vox because I have never tried
7 / 10

I've had half a day!
I do not know of another such simulator for comparison.

Damage that everything is plastic, I preferred metal because it does not look very solid.

Given the use that may apply to this kind of device (train at 3am with no neighbors to piss off) and took I'm very happy, it's simply perfect and I'll buy without hesitation !
