Review: You Don't Need Any More Than This...(Except - Probably, Some, Decent, Soldering Skills) - Take a look at the ratings on this device... This unit has the highest, global, ratings of any other in this category. There's a good reason for that - it sounds incredible!! Unfortunately - Vox Amplification has discontinued this product. Insane, move! Why?!! Now, look at the current price. If you're complaining about this unit - you're not using it right! (IMHO) There's quite a lot of functionality, here. 6 (six), different effects: various, delays, reverb, echo, gain (truly, *awesome*). This, little, "virtual, 'M#rshall half-stack'" - sounds better than most full-sized amps I've used. I'd like to be able to get the electronics from this unit into my, present, practice amp (Line 6 Spider30w). However, I play directly through the clean channel on that amp, and, it even makes that sound fabulous! Interestingly, enough - I discovered that you can achieve various effects through more than just the "FX" button. The manual states that the FX button is simply an effects, "ON/OFF" switch. But, you acquire an additional three, settings, holding down the "POWER ON/OFF" switch, as well (at least, in my unit (AP2-MT), and, cycling through the effects, again, using the EFFECTS switch. As far as portability and construction go, it is built on the light, side, for sure, but it's not going to fall apart from a couple of drops to the floor, either. (Yes, I've tried it!). I also use a 1/4" female-male, elbow adapter, to employ, another, axis of freedom, should, it accidentally meet with a stronger force! - like - a wall! I did, accidentally, apply too much torque to the unit while it was plugged into my guitar, by stepping on a cable plugged into the headphone socket, and the plastic cover, around, the plug, separated. I Super-glued it, and wrapped a small strip of duct tape around it to prevent that from happening again. You might also consider, wrapping a couple of rubber bands around the unit (latitudinally, and, longitudinally), to ensure, some degree of shock absorption and rebound, after a drop. The construction is quite, poor, however. I opened the unit, to apply some friction on the wheels so that they turned more smoothly, by adding a couple of layers of masking tape on the side of the casing that comes up against the front of the wheels. The plug is connected to the circuit board by two, fragile, hook-up wires, which, were the thinnest possible wires they could have used (probably, 24-26 gauge). With just a little tension on those two wires -- they disconnected from the circuit board - like - they were just, dying, to be disconnected - and just, couldn't get to that state, fast, enough! Luckily, I have some (wanting), soldering skills, so I was able to solder them back into place, covering the solder points with a thermal glue (hot glue). THE INSTRUCTIONS: YES, they ARE there; they're packed inside (in-between) the folded, cardboard packaging! TAKE THEM OUT AND READ THEM. The instructions are clear, and, obviously not a Chinese interpretation (that, in itself, is a welcomed thing!), with clearly illustrated diagrams. If I had good enough reason - I'd buy another one! Or, maybe, I would buy the 'Classic Rock' version... UPDATE: I DID buy another one! This thing sounds so good I wanted to make sure I had a backup. Now, I do. I also bought the High Gain Amplug3. In comparison, the Amplug2 Metal - blows it away. It's too bad, that unit has a nice sound, as well, just not the same spirit. Now, back to this unit. You won't believe it - until you hear it for yourself. I mean that. It's got that, something, that just swells into your gut, and chest. Again, it's the best guitar amplifier I've ever heard. I have not heard a full-size Vox amp, or, full stack, so I can't compare it to that. I will be using this unit - plugged, through, the CLEAN channel - of any other amp that I use, from now on.... It's that good. HONESTLY.
Review: This thing sounds great! - This thing does exactly what it promises: deliver the tone of a classic amp through your headphones. I needed something to let me play through headphones, since even my 5w tube amp was too lout for a lot of times at home. I'm something of a tube amp snob; I really like the tone and response of a good all-tube guitar amp. One thing that drew me to this amp is that it actually uses an analog circuit imitating the amp of choice instead of just a digital modeler as all the others do. And for a solid state circuit, the silver version of the amplug does a really good job at matching the tone of a vintage fender amp while also having response and dynamics very similar to what I'd expect out of a tube amp. The clean tones out of these things (at least through good headphones) are just amazing. It sounds and feels just like I'm playing through a Fender Twin. That clean Fender sound is the main reason I bought this amp. Rather than plugging directly into my guitar, I plug it into the last pedal in my chain and use an 8' cord to plug into my headphones. I was a little nervous about how well this thing would take pedals, and the answer is just like an amp (with one caveat below)! My eq pedal still perfectly shapes the tone, my distortion sounds just like it should, etc. It lets me effortlessly switch over from my amp to headphones when I need to be quiet. (If I wanted to be really slick, I could put an A/B switch at the end of my chain and just change between amp and phones with the tap of a foot. The built-in effects are pretty good too. I tooled around with the gain, and it's a good, realistic sound. That said, you only have one option, and I'm more partial to the crunch of my pedal, so I keep the amp clean. The other effects are nice too, and it's nice to be able to add a bit of reverb and stuff to your sound. Are the effects a match for a good pedal? No, and I wouldn't expect it to be for a cheap, tiny headphone amp. But they definitely aren't worse than a cheap pedal, and the fact that they come included is really just a bonus. CONS: Yes, it's flimsy, as many reviews state. It's made of cheap plastic, and I'm sure it would be easy to break. That's the tradeoff for the low price you pay. It doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart though. Don't yank it out of the plug or set the guitar down on it, and store it in a place where it won't get excessively banged around. The amp doesn't have a lot of headroom. A booster pedal can very easily push the amp to breakup, and unlike the gain channel on the amp, this distortion does not sound good (ie you can't push it like you would a tube amp). If you're using pedals, make sure to set the levels so that the input signal isn't too strong for the amp This is an amazing tool for playing electric guitar through headphones. It really is like playing through a good tube amp.

## Questions & Answers

**Q: what size headphone jack does it have?**
A: Small, 3.5mm! Your regular iphone jack for headphones

**Q: Does this model (AC30) have an overdrive / distortion mode?  Trying to decide between this one and the "Classic Rock" model...**
A: The ac30 does not have a distortion mode. What I love about this one is it is super clean sounding. I'm 100% sure you can buy a piece to go from it to a pedal than to the head set, but take it from me don't get there ac30 headset or any of the  headset period with this. Buy a gaming headset, with a Mic. To everyone else sounds like your singing to no music, but sounds so clear to the user. Ac30 is better than I could ever hope for I recommend it 100% to anyone. Let me know what you think. XD

**Q: does this AC30 give you both classic rock and metal effect? in the same device?**
A: It gives you gain control, plus a few echo effects. If you want Metal I believe there is a metal version vox device.. Hope that helps!

**Q: Can you plug this into the end of an effects chain?**
A: Yes. I use it with a line 6 loop station.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great Practice Tool!
*by R***Y on October 1, 2025*

I just got this today and have only used it for about half an hour or so, but I'm pretty impressed with the sound quality through my studio headphones. The drum machine rhythms are a nice feature that gives an added dimension to solo bass practice. The build feels a bit cheesy considering the price point. Beefing up the build by giving it a metal, or at least a sturdier plastic, frame, and adding a tuner feature would bump my rating up to five stars.
