I've just taken delivery of my Vox amPlug2 Blues headphone guitar amp.Described in the documentation as a 'Clean Blues' Lead headphone guitar amplifier.Overnighted to my letterbox in under 12hours, imo Impressively quick.Manufactured by Korg of Japan for Vox Amplification it looks like, judging from the paperwork in the packaging.After reading some mixed reviews on Amazon I feel that I can dispel two negative points immediately:One) It does come with full instructions included. Easy to miss, secreted as it is in the fold of the cardboard package stiffener.It takes 2xAAA batteries.Comes supplied with a pair of batteries(Chinese 'SuperHeavyDuty' manganese!)Rated for 4hours @ FX On - 9hours @ FX Off.With alkaline batteries this is promised to rise to 11hours and 17hours respectively.There is no facility to be able to employ an exterior power supply, to save on batteries.Two) it is made of the same type of plastic as my Sony headphones, and most of my other electronic gadgets.Maybe not gig proof, but imo absolutely robust enough for home use.The controls are quite small and fiddly, commensurate with the size of the amp, but imo adequate for the task.I'd guess most users will find the setting that suits them, then leave things at that.The On/Off button on the left side doubles as the Mode button. It has an led indicator beside it that cycles through the three modes:Mode1 green CleanMode2 orange CrunchMode3 red Lead.The FX button on top cycles through the 4 conditionsOff - Chorus - Delay - Reverb .The level of each effectLow - Medium - High is obtained by holding down the FX button and cycling the On/Off button,Indicated by the number of beeps.These settings I'm sure will come down to matters of personal taste.Find a setup that you're happy with, the amp will reboot to the same settings you were last using.There is a 30minute auto-off.This will initiate if the amp is not detecting a strong enough input signal.On top of the unit are also:A 1/8th" Aux output socket.Thumb Dials for 'Gain' 'Tone' & 'Volume'.Each marked 1 to 10.On the right end is the 1/8th" signal out/headphone socket.On the back is a standard 1/4" jackplug. Rotatable through 180° in 45° increments.Ideal configuration for a front facing jack, strat-type guitar.Output, I am happy to be able to say, is clean and free of hum or hisses. Another point I was concerned about, after reading some of the reviews on here.Power is adequate for practicing, without blowing the doors off anything, which is what I wanted and expected.I have ordered myself an extra 1/8" to 1/4" guitar lead, so that I can plug the amp output through a footpedal etc to my headphones.All in all, a pleasant no-fuss little headphone amp, that for not much money does what it is supposed to, ie lets you practice in peace without troubling anyone around you.

Whats not to like about this tiny device? Its a Vox amp in your pocket. You can walk around your house with your guitar and a pair of headphones entirely isolated in a world of beautiful amplified guitar tones.I found the setup to be super easy, and very easy to find good tones on my Blues version of the Amplug. The gain selector is pretty straightforward and exactly what an amp owner would expect from them. The interplay is between the gain dial and the gain switch itself. Therein you'll find something for you. The effects are cool, the least interesting is the flanger/chorus which to me doest sound that great. Tinny and a little weird. The reverb setting is great on all levels. The echo is fun as well, but not really a good substitute for a true echo pedal.But get one please. Its an amazing tool to practice without disturbing people, also the ability o practice at cranked levels! Your family may be cool with you playing/practicing at room levels, but what about stage level? This device can simulate that fairly well.And for $40 its ridiculous to not get a few.NOTE: I also got the mini cabinet and it sounds great. As someone else said, perfectly loud enough to play along with a friend on acoustic.

Tiene el sonido que necesitaba para practicar a bajo volumen ya sea con audífonos o con una pequeña bocina, va desde un sonido limpio para algo de funk hasta distorsiones para hacer algo de rock clásico.su sonido es un poco comprimido pero no es desagradable, de hecho es increíble para el tamaño y costo, el reverb y delay me gustan, el chorus podría mejorar pero por el precio me parece excelente opción. lo mejor es el acoplamiento al tocar con backingtracks.

So I just recently bought a Fender Stratocaster HSS Player series and wanted an amp that I could use to plug and play with my headphones. I wasn't sure where to start so I got the VOX Amplug 2 Blues (AP2BL) to start with. I love SRV, John Mayer, BB King, and a hundred other blues guitarists and wanted a nice full blues sound coming out of the strat. First, the quality of this little inexpensive device is superb for it being a small cube of plastic. Right out of the box I added the batteries and plugged it in to the Strat and then my headphones into the Amplug. There aren't instructions on the box so I just did trial and error at first. The button on top near the volume, tone and gain wheels offers the different settings to include tremolo, reverb and chorus (I think). I didn't care for the tremolo sound too much and was a initially disappointed that even with my strat set to the bridge humbucker coil (not the single coil in the middle or neck), it just wasn't impressive. However, I soon discovered that the button that powers the device on also has three settings. The green light keeps the tones nice and clean, which what I was using. Then I hit the button again and the light turned orange. The orange setting, along with max tone and max gain, immediately brought a little David Gilmour sound from The Wall (I was playing "Hey You" using this). I finally pushed the button once more to the red light and it gave me a nice fat crunch that was bordering a tube screamer and had enough kick to feel power chords sound like hard rock. I'm definitely buying a couple of the others because I played for four hours straight in the middle of the night and I didn't wake anyone in the family! The sound it produces through the headphones is simply a dream. I rarely do product reviews but I'm definitely going to do one for my YouTube channel because it's that good. (I guess it helps to have a nice guitar like a Strat too).
