Title: Perfect for Practice at a Good Price
Review: The AC30 AmPlug is excellent for practice, with adequate sound at a great price.It's not perfect. The little control wheels on top are delicate and have settings 1-10 but that's aspirational. The gain, for example, fuzzes out above 5, so leave it at 5. You want to protect your ears, anyway. The tone control goes muddy on bass, so keep it balanced at 5 and use the guitar's tone control. I use JBL earbuds and the sound is clear and completely satisfactory.The FX are discriminable: chorus, delay, and reverb, which is pretty amazing in such a small device, but don't expect too much.The "Modes" (which not documented in the "documentation" sheet that comes well-hidden in the packaging -- you have to look online to discover these modes), are three degrees of distortion, from clean to dirty. I use clean mode almost exclusively to reduce my Telecaster's natural twang while I practice and learn.Technically there are 9 effects then, Mode x FX, though many of them seem about the same and some are close to pink noise. Keep in mind what you're buying: A portable practice amp for $40.You have to look for online videos to figure out what the different Vox models do because the verbal descriptions are bland and uninformative. I think I might have preferred the "Clean" or the "Blues" model, and I may get one of those, but the AC-30 is the one-size fits all solution for somebody who needs a portable practice amp. The Vox Amplug is not a refined enough device for you to be honing your instrument's voice on it, so don't overthink all the settings. For developing your guitar's voice, you should be using a serious practice amp. This is just a little gizmo so you can practice your pentatonic scales without driving your family crazy.I recommend a 3 to 6-foot cable, 1/4" male-to-female, so you can "externalize" the Vox box and have it beside you or in your lap. When it's plugged directly into the guitar, it's hard to see and use, probably upside-down, and you'll likely break it when you store the guitar.If you want to get tricky, you can plug a Bluetooth transmitter into the Vox and route the sound to wireless headphones/buds. I'm not sure what that would do to sound quality. The device also has an Aux-in jack so you could route an .mp3 backing track through it. I haven't tried that.Overall, the Vox AC30 does the job and is well-worth the price.

Title: Great Product - Very Useful
Review: Perfect for my needs! I wanted a "quiet option" as I can't rock out when my toddler and baby are sleeping. Wanted something simple that could handle input from a pedal board and still sound good (such as distortion), and this thing delivers. Using my pedals through it sounds close enough to me playing through my tube amp. I feel I can safely tweak my pedals to get a good tone similar to when I'd play full volume.Pros:- Good sound with guitar and bass, with or without a pedal board.- Super compact, easy setup for quiet, personal practice.- Nice simple onboard effects make it easy and fun if you just want to tinker on the guitar (no pedal board). Chorus, delay, and reverb effects each have 3 separate individual options.- Love having the auxillary in. Auxillary in volume is independent of the amPlugs. (Control aux vol from external device, guitar volume through amPlug)- Inexpensive when comparing to other options such as a Line 6 Pocket Pod.Cons:- Unfortunately you only apply one of the FX at a time, along with the signature effect. For this model, the signature effect is tremolo. Not a big deal for me.- If you are going to use a pedal board, need to have some decent headphones. I tried ear buds, cheap headphones, Shure 215 in-ear monitors, and finally my Sony MDRXB400 Extra Bass headphones. The Sony Extra Bass headphones handled the pedal distortions the best and were the most similar to playing through my amp (after some tone adjustment). The ear buds and other options couldn't fully handle the distorted signal coming from the pedal board, which essentially added a little extra distortion.Overall, great product, can't go wrong. Very glad I purchased this!

Title: Nice little clean amp with great sound but VERY limited
Review: Pros:The convenience of plugging directly into the guitar and not being tethered is greatCan use rechargeable batteries with a spare set so you're never without powerVery nice, clean soundGain provides a little crunchReverb is niceEasy to useCons:Only 1 amp modelSince it is a simple device you cannot control the speed of the tremolo or delay, (though there are two settings each)Chorus is ok but not as cleanSubjective Con: On my Fender Lead II the Vox hits my Tone pot unless I spin it away so it's not facing me. Not a big deal but wish it cleared the pot by a hair.While this little amp has exceptional sound and is highly portable, it is very limited because of only having one amp model. It's s shame Vox makes you buy a different amp for Rock and Blues. No one wants to keep three amps handy then switch between them for every different song that requires a different sound when you're running through your repertoire. I guess if you only play music that fits an AC30, or only play Rock, or only play Blues, it's not an issue. But for those of us who play a variety of songs every time we sit to practice, it quickly comes up against a wall. The Gain helps to add a little crunch, and it's not that you can't play all that stuff on an AC30, but it's not the same, is it?As nice as this little thing is, the next bug amp I get will have more than one amp model, so I guess it won't be a Vox.

Review: Très pratique pour s’exercer sans déranger l’entourage. La qualité est raisonnable pour sa fonction et je possède la version «guitare basse » également. Seul bémol : sa fragilité. Il faut rester délicat (j’en ai déjà cassé un)

Review: compre este amplificador personal debido a que tengo uno de 160 watts de transistores que prácticamente tumba la casa y rompe familias, por lo que decidí probar este (para nomas quedarme sordo yo y no todo el barrio) y definitivamente es un accesorio increíble, no hace nada del otro mundo pero para practicar es mas que suficiente, tiene tres efectos (delay, reverb, Chorus) que suenan increíble, y el sonido puro emulando el AC 30 es una pasada, con unos auriculares de alta gama en verdad sientes que es un amplificador real, excelente para practicar horas y horas (aunque es de pila) sin molestar absolutamente a nadie, y con un sonido de muy buena calidad, hay otras opciones digitales pero este es a la guitarra, audífonos y a tocar se a dicho, mas simple no se puede

Review: Va premesso che sono alle prime armi con la chitarra elettrica, e sto ancora costruendo il mio armamentario di strumenti/cavetteria/amplificazione/ecc.. definitivo. Ho delle conoscenze di base.L’amplug in se è magnifico, ben costruito e seppur piccolo e un po’ “plasticoso” nel complesso è solido e funzionale. È pensato per essere estremamente portatile, e dunque andrebbe utilizzato con delle cuffie auricolari, chiaramente migliori sono le cuffie, migliore sarà la resa sonora, e la presenza dei 3 effetti + tremolo è un plus divertente. È possibile collegare un cavo aux in entrata da computer e riprodurre delle tracce di base per fare del backing track. Insomma, per un uso così è perfetto, quindi esercitarsi e roba simile!Può risultare invece un po’ “limitato” l’uso con delle casse stereo (quelle che collegate al pc fisso ad esempio): anche se di qualità intermedia, non si riesce a riprodurre bene la dinamicità dei suoni di una elettrica, specie se in distorto. L’ideale sarebbe collegare un vero e proprio amplificatore per elettrica...che di solito, ha tutte le funzioni che ha questo amplug. Se non di più.In definitiva, ottima manifattura del prodotto e interessante per l’uso in cuffia e per la possibilità di portarselo facilmente in giro. Ma se avevate intenzione di usare delle casse esterne, il risultato non è proprio il massimo specie se volete suonare in distorto!
