These little gadgets look cool: Vox Amplugs are headphone guitar amps that come in three distinct flavours:
- Vox AC30 (based on a Vox AC30 Top Boost amp)
- Classic Rock (based on a UK-made amp head)
- Metal (based on a California-made high-gain amp head)
You plug the Amplug into your guitar and a set of headphones into the Amplug, and then get rocking! An additional Aux-in socket allows you to jam along to your CD/MP3 player.
Seemingly one set of two Alkaline AAA batteries gives up to 15 hours of battery life.
They retail for around GBP £30.
I thought that these looked dead cool. Until I saw the price tag. Perhaps about half that would be more appropriate.
I’m looking for a nice, cheap, compact headphone amp. Any suggestions?
Ah. Just read the ‘all analogue’ bit. I guess that explains the price…
I quite like my mini Marshall stack — I have the MS-2.
Amazon UK currently has them on sale for £17.99. They’re on eBay UK from £16.50.
