Vox Amplug 2 Classic Rock

I bought the Vox Amplug 2 looking for a way to practice in a manner that is as lightweight and hassle-free as possible: minimum number of cables/equipment; just plug and play.

This is literally it; plug and play.

I keep my headphones connected to this Vox at all times, and all I have to do to start playing is plug it into the guitar. That's it. Top marks for ease-of-use regarding getting started.

The sound quality is excellent; even better than I expected. After you spend some minutes tweaking it to your liking, you're in sound heaven.

Where things could be improved is the way you change the settings. If you only play in one style, this won't affect you. You set it once, and it remembers the setting even after power down. This is excellent. However, if you need to switch, say, from overdrive to clean, or – especially – from chorus to reverb, then you're in trouble. You definitely can't do that mid-song. You need to stop playing, turn the guitar around, and fumble with the controls. Not ideal, but it is what it is.

All in all, however, it's excellent for the price. I'd buy again!

Vox Amplug 2 Classic Rock is a very user-friendly and handy: plug it in and you can play it anywhere through the headphones output and take pleasure of a Vox amplifier with this buddy.
There are no need for speakers because the unit is really small and convenient, but it will always make you ready to rock! Also, it has an Aux input for your sound files, allowing you to play along.

The sound is INCREDIBLY cool. Crispy and same to a Vox classic rock distortion. There are only three sound settings: volume, tone and drive. The first time I tested it, when I received it from Thomann, I JUST SMILED! (GRIN)
Perfect for any classic rock songs, alternative, indie, gospel, etc. If you set the Drive to upper levels you'll be getting some kind of a fuzzy sound which would suit to distorted bluesy thing, I'm using a Yamaha Strat Type and the sound of P90 pick ups are perfect match for this, or simply Vox had this one perfectly. Lowering the Drive gives you a great lightly-crunch tone to play along with clearer and fuzz to your guitar tones. I just love the sound and use it a lot for practicing and also for recording.

Thumbs up for Thomann, for delivering this item along with my other items for only few days here in Middle East :)

I was amazed at the sound from this little thing and I love the styling. Absolutely fantastic for practicing or taking with you travelling when you don't want to take a proper amp. It really does help to hear a properly distorted sound. The case is plastic and seems to be strong enough but its quite ordinary quality. I find the fixed 1/4 inch plug annoying on my Les Paul and it's fiddly adjusting it underneath the guitar. It will depend where the socket is on the guitar you have. Perhaps a jack and a short lead would have been a better design. Overall I really like it but somehow because its a bit fiddly I've used it less than I thought I would.
