    A must have!

    Features everybody knows I think!

    UTILIZATION

    I think we can do more simple, it's marketing vox: More and play!
    3 settings (gain, tone, volume), a button for the delay and that's it. A manual? no need!

    SOUND QUALITY

    So there I think I fell literally on the ass! I think it mimics a Soldano slo100, amp unaffordable even in my dreams, and the sound is incredible. The headphone is not bad but try to connect it to PC speakers, hifi! A pure lead sound full of sustain, great delay (not adjustable but perfect as it is).

    To tell you is so convenient that I left out my peavey ultra randall more with vintage in 30 to directly connect this little trick in my sound card and avoid going through the SM57, the direct sound and without tedious adjustment to register!

    The great thing also is that I can take my guitar in my business school and my work ranges during breaks (chiantes to die) without disturbing others. I also have a small office with but it sounds pretty good but not bad toy to show friends what you can do! The only catch is that you can not have a real clean sound (especially with the humbucker, it's always a little crunch ... it's really the only complaint.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 2 years and it's like the iPhone or IPAD to Steve Jobs, a "revolution":)

    The only concern of the vox is also its fragility. I had the misfortune to drop it 2-3 times and it stopped working in loose contact with mono ... I had to buy the same Alrosa I could start the collection ... Be very careful because this is the plastoc. I put 7 to fragility.

    Not Bad

    Vox amPlug LeadPublished on 04/21/11 at 22:28
    This might be the best sounding of the pocket amps. It has a great voicing geared for lead playing with the added digital delay within the unit. The sound mimics the tone you would get from heavy loaded amp stacks tailor for metal and hard rock music.

    SOUND QUALITY

    For me the tone from the classic rock amplug is similar to this one but with the added midrange for the lead tone as well as the digital delay. There is a little more gain added to this one as well. It has a great tone and voice for hard rock and metal. You don't have to play rock with this though, just roll back the guitar's volume and then the thing cleans up a little bit and has more or a low gain sound.

    This thing has a rich and warm heavy gain tone that is great for single not lead playing. It works well with rhythm playing as well. It sound good not matter what guitar you use with it. I prefer a Superstrat or a regular Fender Strat so you get that sweet sizzle and not clarity.

    OVERALL OPINION

    A fantastic pocket amp that can go anywhere with you. If you need a quiet amp that will be silent for practice jamming in your home or office. Just close your door and grab your guitar along with your headphones and you won't disturb anyone around you.

    At new these units come in at around $50 which is a great price for something of this quality. I recommend thise device to anyone who need a to go amp that is silent and fits in your drawer.
