Vox amPlug Lead Headphone Guitar Amplifier at a Glance:
  • Amazing tone in a tiny package
  • Analog circuitry, tube tone
  • Get great tone anywhere

Amazing tone in a tiny package
"Lead" is based on a U.S.-made high-gain boutique amp, further modified for lead guitar. It also contains a digital delay effect, delivering a huge, spatial sound that could not be previously obtained, and giving you a rich and full-fledged lead sound that you can play anytime and anywhere.

Analog circuitry, tube tone
amPlug simulates the circuitry of a vacuum tube amp completely in analog. The result is superior headphone amp tone for players who are particular about their sound. Vox was sure to take great care with amPlug's gain circuitry. The "Bass" amPlug gives you full-range tone and a built-in compressor/boost effect plus a FET buffer circuit. Based on U.S.-made boutique amps, the "Lead" amPlug includes a spacious digital delay effect for full-sounding leads. The "AC30" amPlug uses two natural-sounding gain stages to reproduce the distinctive AC30 tone. The "Classic Rock" model ampPlug uses four classical gain circuits to deliver that great sound. The "Metal" amPlug uses two stages of ultra-high gain plus a mid-cut circuit, giving you modern metal high-gain sound anywhere and anytime. Even the circuit response of the original amp is simulated completely. The simulation extends not only to the response of the tone circuits, but also to the way in which the high frequency and gain are affected when you turn down the volume control of the guitar. Every detail has been faithfully reproduced.

Get great tone anywhere
With up to fifteen hours of battery life, it's easy to take amPlug anywhere. In addition to being an ideal home practice tool, the amPlug provides a great way to warm up before a live performance, or on the road. And amPlug is not just a convenient way to get great guitar sound - it also features an auxiliary input jack so you can jam along with your CD/MP3 player.

Vox amPlug Lead Headphone Guitar Amplifier Features:
  • Plugs directly into your guitar
  • AUX in jack lets you jam along with your CD/MP3 player
  • True analog circuit faithfully simulates the response of the original amps
  • Voiced for lead guitar; includes digital delay
  • Up to 15 hours of battery life with supplied AAA batteries
  • Quick and easy setup

The Vox amPlug Lead puts gives you amazing lead guitar amp tones you can take anywhere!

Amazing Tone!!

by Jeff Cooley from Gulfport, MS. USA

Music Background: 30 years pro/semi pro
I bought this Vox Lead Head with the little Vox 3" speaker cab as a novelty. I thought it would be some fun. What I found out is that the little Vox Lead Head sounds absolutely amazing as a front end ... read more [+]to a simple clean channel tube amp. I play it through my Epi Valve Jr. and a 1 x12 cab, and this thing has all kinds of killer tones. The only problem is that it takes getting used to spining the knobs upside down since the unit plugs straight into the jack.

Overall though this thing really has some super raunchy but precise and articulate tones. I highly recommend it! close [-]

uh,first of all this thing is way too cool for $50.with a good pair of headphones this little guy rocks.very easy to use and the controls offer a pretty good range of overdrive/distortion sounds.not t... read more [+]oo much in clean tones but roll back your guitar volume and it cleans up some.the delay is not adjustable but sounds cool for some gonzo leads,absolutely humongous sound for the price.i tried it through a good set of computer speakers w/sub and was blown away,you can't beat this for a headphone amp.i bet you could use this live in case of an amp failure, if you had the right adapters.seriously....great product close [-]

you need the lead

this thing sounds amazing. a tube amp in your case/bag.
turn the gain down all the way,mid to mid,and max out the volume for a creamy clean,max out everything for heavy crunch.and of course eve... read more [+]rything in between.the delay adds a nice mild flavor you can turn on and off with a switch.just don't expect to be able to tweak the effect.the whole thing is made of plastic and seems kinda fragile.i could see the jack snapping off, but i am pretty rough with my stuff.would be cool if it was like a v.w. key...switch jack amp...fits perfect on fenders,but for every other guitar run your headphone cable/ instrument cable with connector to headphone from radio shack($4.oo) out and under the strap where it meets the guitar then put the cable through a back belt loop of your pants then on to wherever(p.a.,stereo,car...) to keep things out of your way and your amplug pretty secure, just try to remember not to set your guitar down with it still plugged in. bottom line out of all the headphone amps(and some real amps)this little vox should be in your tool box. for 50 bucks you'd be stupid not to buy this. think of it as a backup amp that goes everywhere,just treat it with respect. close [-]

I wasn't sure what I was going to get when I bought it on-line, but this littel amp is cool. When I want to plug in without annoying the rest of the household, this thing is it.

Overall I would recommend this for those times late at night or (if you are like me) play in the hotel room. close [-]

Nearly the best accessory I've bought for my guitar. The sound it gives is amazing! The only reason I didn't give it five stars is because I don't like it as much as my Vox Wah-Wah. It simulates the t... read more [+]ube amp-style rather well and the digital distortion and overdrive is superb for a portable product. If you're looking for a portable system to play your guitar on this is a choice you can't go wrong with. close [-]
