OVERALL OPINION

As I play a lot and do not want to disturb my family, I bought the Vox AC 30, which quickly broke down. Thought to have been unlucky (or poorly designed models + fragile it can happen in a series), I stayed true to Vox Amplug investing this time in a Heavy model. Race results after a few weeks, the amPlug starts to spit and that's it, it's out more sound for guitar and music from my MP3 (entry to) pass so chopped. In short, the little toy is unusable!

One word: it's a gadget completely in the zeitgeist of disposable and planned obsolescence. All for it ... what a waste of marketing for twenty hours of play at most ...

This time it's decided, we'll catch me most, even occasion!

Lazy, besides everything has already been said ...
I just add that the plastic shell is a little cheap, so I was expecting something else seeing the pictures on the Internet! Finally the vox what, the truth. But good for the price ...

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, you put the batteries and ... HEAVY METAL THUNDER!
No more seriously it is very simple to use unless a mindless monkey has only two fingers on each hand, there are three knobs: volume, tone and gain.
One rule three as you want and that's it!
Obviously you have to connect headphones, there is a mini jack output to listen to what you play, and also a mini-jack output for connecting to another amp but what's the point? Otherwise it is to tap slaps or something else but then again I do not see the point, as carrying a real amp ...

SOUND QUALITY

Well, well, well ... How to tell? We come to the heart of the matter:
The sounds are frankly not great but good for this price and this size can not really ask for more. We have asked for a fatter sound, certe, but you can still play anything if you are not used to perfect his Marshall or Mesa Boogie: blues, rock, Hard Rock, Metal, that's all , we regret the absence of the clear but hey there marked "Metal" on it, it justifies everything ...

To summarize this is just for mobile guitarists who do not want to lug around with a big folk. Do not expect to sound great even if it's vox, it's just enough.
After that depends on the quality of your guitar.

OVERALL OPINION

Overall it's still a good product for mobile or students who love their neighbors not do shit with big 1000W amps, unlike me. If you want to play up the big crunch distortion Metal genre this amp is for you!

The amPlug Metal is a mobile analog preamp that plug directly into your guitar. It has a headphone jack, and a line input for playing your favorite backing tracks.

This mini pocket amp is made in Japan, which is not visible when you see the quality of cheap plastic that composes it.

UTILIZATION

The general configuration is ultra-simple: three knobs (volume, tone, gain), plug the guitar (attention jacks shell adapter jack-jack female socket required) and headphones and play!

The manual? What manual? I did not read, loss of time ^ ^.

It is easily distorted sounds good, as long as we do not rule Amplug like an idiot (gain and tone donf example ...).

SOUND QUALITY

The sounds produced are all in the high gain distortion bass register, or to limit big crunch.

I used the Amplug with guitars and stuff (the Vigier Excalibur Indus, the Teisco Spectrocaster lipstick), and various headphones (Sennheiser HD500, Sennheiser HD438, AKG K240S ...).
The choice of headphones will obviously get a good role for her, and I got the best results with the AKG K240S.

The sounds were obviously my favorite high gain modern distortion.
I regret the lack of clean, or clean channel base, but hey, at this price ...

OVERALL OPINION

I had in my possession this mini-amp pocket, from 2008 to 2013, and I've always been hyper-satisfied.
This model is the version Metal Amplug ... no doubt: it sounds great in all registers large distortion. Sounds obtained are clearly the best I could test in the vein of material Dual Rectifier "mobile", and the knobs are very effective.
Obviously, it is impossible to get cleans, but lowering the volume of the guitar, it is possible to gently cruncher (within limits, of course).

I used this Amplug with all my guitars, and the jack Excalibur shell, I used an instrument cable jack + jack adapter female / female jack Planet Waves.

The auxiliary line is very well thought out, although I used very little: I was thinking the Amplug as a hardware plug & play, play rapido, between two doors ... then connect another device to play over the backing tracks, it was not possible too (what lazy).

The only criticism I can make is full plastic construction a bit fragile. I dropped my Amplug a height of 1m, and the on / off switch was broken, remaining in position on ... (Okay, I returned the battery to turn off / on)

In conclusion: that happiness for that little pocket amp made in Japan. For 40 €, it was a really good investment.

I reluctantly sold to finance a Zoom G3X, much more expensive, but more versatile. Note that the Amplug Metal distos remain a bit above those of the G3X, but really a bit ^ ^.

This is a mini amp "single channel" for guitar, which is supplied with 2 AAA batteries (LR03). This is not really an amp simulator because I do not feel the "grain Vox" there (anyway, it's not what you ask!)
Connection level, we have an instrument input, a stereo headphone jack, an AUX input for MP3, and on / off button.
For controls, there is a gain, a tone and volume.
Finally, the weight of 40g with dimensions of 86x80x31.

Battery life: 15 to 20h

UTILIZATION

It's plug & play.
Avoid putting the gain cleat to me ... after three quarters, that's enough. I find the sound less clean beyond!
Ditto for the tone. Personally, I remain roughly halfway.

But these are just my own settings. Everyone will find his fidgeting small wheels.

SOUND QUALITY

So for me, I find it perfect for large and heavy rhythmic riffs heavy, full of distortion! I think the bass is correct (unlike some opinion) ... it is personal rather acute bothers me to "blow" a few small planes solo down the handle. Did not try Amplug "lead", I can not make comparisons between the two!
Well, afterwards, do not buy this kind of device to replace ENGL, Mesa or other Carvin ...

Nevertheless, by measuring a little gain and volume, you can have a more rock / hard rock.

The tone is effective while remaining a bit rough when we move away from the "middle".

OVERALL OPINION

I since its release I think (about 3 years!)
I use rarely done, especially on vacation, but hey, it even bigger take up less space than the guitar or headphones as noted rightly notice précedent!
I keep it anyway since I had paid 20 euros in hand.

The + = big sound and troubleshooting
The - = its a bit messy (I chipotte there, because we know what to expect when buying this kind of device!)

Very good Q / P

I do not especially would do this choice because I do not play with headphones, but that does not have a choice, it is really convenient (personally I can play at low volume at any time! !)

Ultimately, I'd be curious to test Satriani "with its delay ...

Bon ben not rocket science .. one branch, we put the headphone. it is 'On' is the Trifouille 2 Tone Gain Volume knobs .. and shoo!

UTILIZATION

I liked a bigger manual ... j'plaisante nan ...
Play: It sounds at once!

SOUND QUALITY

Honestly it's killed me!
A kind of like Marshall stack p'tit pushed to block .. in a lil box!
Frankly, it sounds a hell for the great big rock / metal ...

PAr cons, not really usable clean sounds .. but it's written on it: METAL!

I liked a bit of reverb or delay for 'dress' the sound a bit ... Anyway, I chippotte ...

OVERALL OPINION

I received this week, and I use it regularly for my exercises, and also for fun ..
very nice ...

It is a very light small box for all plastic (except the jack of course) that runs on AAA batteries X 2 (included, and yes)
A gain
1 tone
1 volume
A push switch on / off with LED indicator
1 x headphones 3.5
An auxiliary input for mp3 player 3.5 or other handy to play silmutanément
with your favorite bands

UTILIZATION

As its name suggests and is well marked on it, that's metal. the settings are very easy to obtain, 2 or 3 rounds of wheels and hop hop hop go.

No need for manual

SOUND QUALITY

I play it with a BC Rich Mockingbird with emg 85/81 (active pickups) and a Sennheiser HD 200. The overdrive sound is simply great. Having the headphones on to great satisfaction.

Small flat, the clear, especially with active pickups, is almost nonexistent.
shame because metal does not ring with nag necessarily contrary to what many people think

OVERALL OPINION

I use it regularly for 1 week and I find it very useful, especially since the day I board not the time to play, I work at night. I left that night when I come home from work for me metrre. And then I found quite useful. I do not wake anyone.
Sound, headphone jack and cable, the big foot. I play when I want and at any time.

To my knowledge, there is no headphone amplifier as practical and well designed.
for € 39, we have no right to complain but this was simply not the right to criticize

I would definitely do it again this election and I plan to buy the same version AC30

The disto metal, good, the bad, the hard, the true ... and cheap!
It would be delirious if they were to make lamps of the size of a flashlight bulb.
I have not yet connected to a computer speaker type.
Everything has been said if it is convenient but will keep you awake at night to make you work and your kiffer best metal riffs into the early hours (less convenient it, laugh ...).

UTILIZATION

Too simple, no need to book. The large distortion in his headphone for cheap and my first battery is still not dead. I use it with the gain tones and a background of 10, then the master volume is on 2 or 3 and go for the power groove until exhaustion.
Good on the other hand can not follow what is said on TV with the headphones on.
I took trying to get a guitar in hand and the appointment had been set in a coffee shop, very convenient.

SOUND QUALITY

For the value, is dynamite that puts you in the ears.
It reacts differently for different guitars (good or bad), excellent.
But it's cheap so do not expect a sound that is forty times the price but it is still very good and correct to find very large sensations.
There's no sound clear, but frankly it's not good for serious ca (you have to take the classic rock or just clean that they are not that big distortion)

OVERALL OPINION

Good 2 months and my batteries are still in operation, I do not use it every day, but when I plug it I spend a lot of time.
Practice, no excuse for the family and neighbors to annoy us during our long hours of artwork.
I hesitated a lot before taking it. It looks like a gadget in the first glance but watch your ears ... then it is a safe investment for those who really play without disturbing anyone.
Available with classic rock and clean ............
I'm waiting to see what happens, I do think Korg multi-effects ...
I put 8 because perfection does not exist yet ...

It is a small box that plugs directly to the guitar, it is powered by two AAA batteries (included) with an AUX input and headphone output.
The case is about 40g and is smaller than a tuner.
3 controls: Gain, Tone and Volume.

UTILIZATION

The use could not be simpler: you plug, turn the knobs, the sound is refined and you can play.

SOUND QUALITY

The sound is stunning, used with my Washburn Dimebag Darrell We2 st (Sh-13).
The distortion is just huge! it's heavy, accurate.
It is very similar sound Pantera, Metallica, Trivium ...
No breath, this amazing little box.

MY VIEW THAT MAY BE HELPFUL HINT

OVERALL OPINION

I offered a friend (think about it, that's great as a gift).
The characteristic I like most is the fact that you can play metal with good sound quality anywhere.
I had not tried to Pod or V-amp before but I was really amazed.
The value is good.
Surely the choice I would do if I had to use it.

Exprience with, you will do again this choice? ... There is no more. But it is keeping its 40 euros, SAVE and buy something that sounds a bit.

Virtual guitar amp type mtal big sound, and that's it. No clear sound itself. Three pots: one win, one tone, one volume. In an enterprise. and a headphone output.


UTILIZATION

A jack plug tration on the output jack of the guitar. Except that on my guitar (a Vigier Excalibur), the jack is too driven into the body, which forces me to use a small jack, a jack adapter female - female jack, then the vox Amplug (see tip ).

Ormis this small dtail APRS very frustrating to me to buy, it's really plug and play, one branch, we light (before putting the headphone or else watch the big plop in the ears, a surprise), and put the headphone. It RULES three pots. Gnialissime.

SOUND QUALITY

It is indeed the one Simala amp BIG mtal: palm mute ultra efficient condition not to gain too much (if not a buzz, just a whistle, a s' crasis ...), large rhythmic properly inflated and full of harmonics that you ptent mouth. In short, I advise anyone who wants to have fun with the big sound without shitting his girlfriend, his roommate or neighbors ...

However, the quality of sound dpendra paramtres 2:
- The sound of your scraper, and with micro double, a bourrine STRID in the headphone. Less sharp with single coil but can sometimes be more subtle ... ?
- Most importantly, the headphone: used initially with a home studio AKG type that reproduces the exact spectrum of the signal (no hump in the bass and AIGS and troughs in mdiums like most stereo headphones), it is too aggressive in mdiums and there is not enough serious.
on the other hand with headphones Philips hifi type base and a hollow sound is carrment better. It is even excellent.
I proscribe of the headphones ear style: even when I want my chouffles!


OVERALL OPINION

For something that looks like a gadget priori (plastic, low price) is really thundering condition to use it in a good configuration. The essential lment complmentaire I think this item is good to see good rev that enhances stereo headphones the sound of this little box very nice.
May be I am tired of the long (lack of clear, cruel as a general rule, little nuances in the saturation has sent has sent has sent, and you really accentuate the subtle finger to find), but in the meantime, the total growing stock.

an essential accessory.

one type of sound, ultra easy to use, a gain, a tone, one volume

UTILIZATION

Manual useless, a gain donf, acute at 3 / 4 volume and at your convenience!

SOUND QUALITY

of course it's not an engl or a mesa € 2000 is not even plug an analog but for the price it's perfectly what he is asked!
I put 9 because the metal having a € 24 for nine (FDP including the United States), which could be better?

Just a clarification on the sound: it depends greatly on the type of headphones you use, I have several headphones at home, it sounds on some of the other's way and oddly I have a much better sound on my Sennheiser HD 201 (mid-range) as my Sennheiser HD 25 is supposed to be of high quality ....

OVERALL OPINION

I used the last one month, I have not had to try something else because it is not so small and the price at the competition!
I suggest you bring in the United States for € 24 (including pdfs) in otherwise it is € 49 No matter what store!

Gain, Volume, Tone, Headphone out, and the on / off.

Made in japan, 2 year warranty

UTILIZATION

Nothing could be simpler, no need to read the manual, and you plug it plays

SOUND QUALITY

I personally found the sound rather artificial, certainly it was a big distortion but be careful not to put too acute because it's been a little sore ear and a little bee

OVERALL OPINION

C not the subject of the century but c practice and troubleshoots ca, ca ds is the pocket. Personal I m using it to play that night because my parents n appreciate that the fireball medium 100 0h and my girlfriend in history does not make too much shit with ranges.

I will say that a lil c KDO nice to your scratch
