If you’re a fan of the classic British invasion guitar tone that took the world by storm in the 60s and 70s, this compact, convenient version is recommendable.īottom Line: Offering a warm, slightly overdriven tone that is remarkably similar to that of a vintage AC30, the amPlug headphone amplifier by Vox is a wonderful tool for guitarists. Who is this best suited for: The amPlug AC30 is a great choice for all types of rock guitarists. If you practice for one hour per day, you’ll get over two weeks of use before you need to replace the batteries for a new set. Another thing that sold me on this compact headphone guitar amp was its 15-hour battery life using a pair of AAA batteries.

The reverb in particular sounds so good that I believe it could rival many effects pedals and outboard devices. When adding these to the warm, clean tone of the headphone amp, I was blown away by their quality. The Vox ampPlug AC30 includes three onboard effects – chorus, reverb, and delay. After a few minutes of testing the device, I was highly impressed by its versatility and the quality of its tone. As someone who has had the pleasure of using the AC30 on many occasions, I was excited to see if the ampPlug headphone amp edition lived up to the high standard of its full-sized equivalent. Famous for its classic British tone and jangly high end, the amp has amassed somewhat of a cult following in the sixty-plus years. My Review: The VOX AC30 was first introduced in 1958, and has gone on to become one of the most popular tube amplifiers to ever be produced. Effects: Chorus, Tremolo, Flanger, Reverb & Delayġ x 6.35mm Jack Input, 1 x 3.5mm Headphone Output
