Classic Rock Guitar Tone You Can Take Anywhere!

The Vox amPlug Classic Rock headphone guitar amplifier plugs straight into your guitar's output jack! You get incredibly rich-sounding classic rock tones from the amPlug Classic Rock; in fact, this micro-marvel puts the sound of a classic high-gain '70s 100-watt amp right into your headphones. Using four gain circuits, this handy headphone amp is able to emulate the tone of a cookin' classic rock amp effectively, while giving you portability and convenience. Now you can hear your electric guitar anywhere with the amPlug Classic Rock headphone amp!

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

Massive tone in a tiny package
amPlug is a headphone guitar amp that can fit in the palm of your hand. Just plug it into your guitar, put on your headphones, and start enjoying serious guitar tones with amazing presence. You can choose from three types of sound. There's the aptly named "AC30" which gives you the top boost sound of a vintage Vox AC30, "Classic Rock" which delivers the classic high gain sound of a UK-manufactured 100W amp, and "Metal" which produces the aggressively powerful metal sound of a US-made amp. With these three different amplug products to choose from, you can start enjoying whatever guitar sound suits your mood for the day.

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 "AC30" amPlug uses two natural-sounding gain stages to reproduce the distinctive AC30 tone. The "Classic Rock" model amPlug 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 Classic Rock 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
  • Classic Rock gives you the great high-gain sound of a UK-made 100W amp
  • Up to 15 hours of battery life with supplied AAA batteries
  • Quick and easy setup


The Vox amPlug Classic Rock headphone guitar amplifier lets you take massive tone wherever you go!

All that in a small package - nice!

When I first plugged in and jammed using the Vox amPlug, I was using earbuds and I was blown away by the clarity and crunch-tone I could get from the Classic Rock model. Later at home, I tried it with... read more [+] my Sony studio headphones and holy amps, batman! This thing sounds amazing - warm, robust tones just like a standard Vox amp! If you turn down the gain to 1 and crank the volume, a clean tone comes alive, so, to me, this thing has everything I need, clean and crunch. The only thing missing is reverb and delay effects! close [-]

pocket plexi

if you want the sound of a plexi, and you want to play late late at night into the wee hours of the morning and didn't want to wake anyone up, or if you were lying in bed and suddenly a lick popped in... read more [+]to your head and you had to get it down, and again, you didn't want to wake anyone up, then this is the thing for you. it's probably pretty good on long road trips too.
it seems pretty solid for a small palm sized piece of plastic, and it's really good at what it does. the 3 tone master volume and gain dials are pretty interactive, and you can actually get a good range of overdrive tones.
it should be noted that good headphones should be used with this. preferrably something with a driver. the cheapie white earbuds that came with that mp3 player aren't good, and fart out at higher gain.
it fits perfectly in the cup for the jack of a strat, as the body of the strat gives it support (unless your strat is from early 80's). close [-]

Sweetwater Advice

Brian Cravens
I love the Vox amplugs. Put a couple in your guitar case (to cover the various tones you love) and head off to a vacation. Unplug the iPod from your earbuds and plug this in. A $39 guitar widget that motivates you to plugin and rehearse.
