TIP-TOP FUN!!
I bought this because I have a wife and baby son, but I made sure to try it out first because I'm a toniophile. It's hard not to be a skeptic when you're staring at a tiny plastic AC30 - but Plug that bad boy in ... it's a SONIC TREAT! For starters, the gain & tone controls actually WORK, which is more than you can say for some mass-market combo amps. Also, it really, truly sounds like an AC30. Through the right headphones, it has a clear, fat, jammy fun sound. Husbands/dads: start making excuses to get out and buy this now. I guarantee this amp will QUADRUPLE your playing time.

Great sound, little package
It’s hard to believe this little piece of plastic puts out so much great sound! Clean to crunchy with plenty of volume and working controls. I originally purchased the headphone amp so that I could hear myself in a group acoustic guitar class. It exceeded by expectations. Now, it goes everywhere with my hollow body. It is so light that it isn’t noticeable on the guitar and the batteries last longer than 15 hours. If anything happened to it, I would buy a replacement without a second thought. I have no complaints. The only technological addition I would like to see is built in blue tooth.

Never Play Unplugged Again
I recently just went to a jazz camp at University of Northern Colorado and this product was a lifesaver. I play bass, but I used this to practice in my dorm and it was great. You can get a hard, crunchy sound to a mellow smooth sound. If you are an active musician that practices unplugged, you need this product!!

Limitless Potential
I purchased this unit because I wanted to be able to practice in silence in the evening, not wanting to wake my two small children, or my wife. It sounds great through headphones, nice tone, very clean and spankey, and crunchy when you turn up the gain. Then I thought..what if I get an 1/8 headphone jack to RCA cable to hook up to my TV suround sound receiver. I went home, hooked it up to some audio ins that were not in use on my receiver, and "WHAM"...instant AC30 in my living room!...Now I know it won't do nearly half the stuff of a real AC30, but for what I paid, it sounds amazing. Granted, I do have a pretty good suround sound system, so I'm sure that helps. I figured I would share this with some players on a budget. Turn it up to 11 mates!

NO MORE SPONGEBOB!!!!!!!!!
This thing is pretty slick. I can jam on this puppy, without having to listen to the SpongeBob cartoon blasting in the house. My amp is massive and loud, doesn't have a headphone input. And I don't want to compete with the television. So this is the solution. No more SpongeBob. As for the sound think U2 Edge-idge!!! Heck it inspires me to play more, and write more music. I can play anytime day or night in peace.

great driven tube amp sound!
I like to play my Tele with anything from clean tones to edgy tube overdriven tones ala Joe Walsh, Jimmy Page, etc. I can get it from my old Marshall beast, but, uh, yeah, it's loud! My Scholz Rockman sounds good, but doesn't have adjustable drive and doesn't let my Tele "breath" the good ole Tele tones well. Then, I heard about the AC30 headphone amp. I read the reviews and still was not sold. Then I went to GC and tried one with a Tele. YEAH!! Sounds Great!! And, I get my infinitely adjustable drive! I can go from country clean to Howlin Wolf bark to Led Zep dirt. And, the CD input allows me to play with the "boys." Great buy!

Small and awesome.
A fairly awesome little practice tool, the Vox AC30 amPlug provides you with some usable tones right from your headphones. With my tele, the tone is a little harsh if I leave it too high, but sounds great when left around 4. Bring a 1/8" to 1/4" adapter to an open mic, and you have usable electric tones through the PA. Highly recommended.

AWESOME!!!!!!!!
I was in a band in camp this summer and our amp blew before we went on to play. a friend of mine had this spectacular piece of equipment so i ran the guitar into this thing and then into an a.v. cable and into inputs on an amp and this thing gave off more sound than the amp. amazing!

Great for the money
I bought this little sucker so I could get some practice in during lunch at work or when the GF is sleeping in. I must say I am pretty impressed! I didn't play one before buying because I thought the clips were good and I figured it should sound exactly the same. I'd say it is about 90% of what the clips give... it is a little noisy and hashy, you can tell it is SS but it isn't annoying or bad sounding.
It actually sounds mint when clean - it has a really rich, full tone with some harmonic detail and chimes like a real VOX. It almost sounds like it has a light chorus and reverb effect to it.
The gain is pretty good, not very dynamic as it seems to compress very hard so you don't get the soul like you would out of a real tube amp but the more I play it the more I get used to it and it isn't completely digital feeling on the dynamic, it has some expression. I feel the bass is a little loose with alot of gain but that may be intentional as the AC30 isn't the tightest amp I can think of.
Overall well worth the money - it will far exceed you expectations - it did mine and I am super picky.

A Good Deal
This was far better than I expected. The volume doesn't get too loud with external speakers, but it's excellant for head phones which is what it is suppose to be used for. It has a surprisingly open sound, makes me want a full size Vox. I would by this again.
