    Perfect item to facilitate silent practicing. Connect a phone or iPod/MP3 player. Useful effects but I prefer a dry signal while practicing. Price point is ok, not great. Made of plastic but feels solid. Have only owned a month. Time will tell how durable and long lasting it will be. My 2 previous units (different brand) lasted about a year each. Units like this are important for my practice routine.

  • Nice convenient little plug in amp. Great sound

    Used for quiet practice. Excellent sound, chorus and reverb in both normal channel and top boost are favorites. Nice clean to crunchy to overdrive. Used with both Stratocaster and Telecaster. Can't comment on a humbucker guitar, don't have one, yet. Rhythm effects are fun also.

  • Excellent product

    I love Vox. I have 3 of their amps, 4 guitars, and a few prdals. I bought this Amplug and the VGH headphones to compare. The headphones sounded pretty good but the controls were annoying to use. The Amplug sounded pretty bad to me with AKG headphones, but was easier to dial in sounds. Returned both of them.
