VOX AP2MT amPlug 2 Metal Guitar/Bass Headphone

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.

If you’re looking for simplistic and great sounding heavy tone, the Vox Metal AMP2 is it. So far I’m having a blast with this little device. It’s not going to have a whole lot of options all around, but that’s fine by me I just wanna plug in and jam out, or if I have a spur of the moment idea I can just grab it and go. The FX are just ok but I’m not a huge FX guy anyway. I’m good with a little reverb/delay/chorus. I tried a Micro Mustang and not knocking that one at all, it’s very versatile with lots of tones and FX. But again I just want it simple and heavy so I’m happy with this. And it’s half the price. With this one I can adjust and dial up everything from a hard rock sound to a very low end chugging metal sound to some nice leads. And I was able to dial back on the gain, hit the reverb, and turn down the guitar volume slightly for a clean cool sound. Wish it was rechargeable but so far that’s the only con I have with it. If you want balls to the wall ripping tone that’s simple and to the point without pissing off the neighbors, check it out!!!

This thing is awesome. Can't say enough good things. I bought the metal version as I play exclusively metal. This thing is loud I keep the volume like halfway and has plenty of gain and tone control. 3 different types of distortion I personally like red distortion. Tons of delay and effects to play with if you like that. Super nice little portable amp for practicing if you don't want to set up amp/pedalboard/headphones etc. This thing is gold. The only thing I think could be better is it could be built with a little stronger plastic but hasn't been a problem. Also would be nice if they made a rechargeable version as this takes aaa batteries. Overall id say get one. This thing has a super chuggy tone. Easy to pinch harmonic and play all types of metal

If you are looking for an easy way to plug in and jam by yourself, these little plugs are fantastic. Run off of 2 AAA batteries and last quite a while ( I haven't timed it but it seems as if I get quite a few hours). Sound quality is great - no buzzing, just the faintest humming when plugged in. Plenty of volume - easily too loud for most people using headphones. You can also plug these into regular speakers. If my neighbors aren't home I play these through my Cerwin Vega XD4's - you could even jam with a friend using a small practice amp. As far as the distortion goes there is plenty. I usually roll the distortion down on mine to keep it from being too muddy. Tone I keep all the way up and just roll my guitar tone to where I want it. You can cycle through three distortion settings each one has a slightly different mid level setting allowing you a thrashy sound or a more modern sound. There is a light letting you know what distortion you are using. The effects leave me a little disappointed. You cannot tell what you are using until you pluck a string and there is no way to control the amount or the mix other than a couple pre-determined settings most of which I find to be excessive. I personally don't use the line-in so I won't comment on it. This is made out of plastic but it doesn't feel cheap. You can plug it into any style of guitar - the plug doesn't come out of the side of the box, it comes off of the side of the box at a 90 degree angle meaning it will fit into a stratocaster style body no problem. The box swivels on the plug as well - as I use this on a Gibson style body I find this feature more annoying than useful. It swivels quite easily - I find myself accidentally moving it when I reach down to adjust one of the settings. So all in all I am pleased with this device. I would have loved this if they gave a roller adjustment to manually adjust the level of the effect and I wish they would remove the swivel feature. Is it worth $40 to upgrade if you have the original metal vox plug? It is if you like to have the minimal amount of equipment to plug in and play.

Bought this for practicing in college dorms so I didn't bother my roommates or neighbours. Great sound for a metal guitarist looking for something easy to practice on that is easy to carry and store. I play similar music to Parkway Drive and sometimes other bands like Architects and the sound was good for something used for practicing with your headphones in. A little fuzzy but it's not like you'll be playing live in front of anyone. I ended up breaking the 1/4" adapter off when I sat down and wasn't paying attention to where it was. Not the most durable device and it went through batteries fairly quickly. The only reason I didn't replace it is because I switched to Bias FX which does essentially the same thing with much more variety in effects and your overall sound. I do recommend buying if you're looking for something to practice on without bothering people in your house/apartment or are traveling but can't afford Bias. If you have more money to spend get Bias FX and Bias Amp on your phone or tablet. Waaay more variety

I don't know where to begin, this little thing is AWESOME! How do they cram all the sound/power in one little device. This thing hits HARD and gets very dirty. Definitely gets the job done. Reviews on YouTube that I watched before buying don't even compare to the sound I'm getting. I'm extremely impressed and very satisfied. If you haven't already hit that "buy now" button or "add to cart" your wasting your time reading the rest of my review. Get yours today and get ready to be amazed. The closest I could compare the sound to is Metallica. It's deep, crunchy, and very crisp sounding, but I guess that could also depend on your guitars hardware. I got some hot pick ups. I did try it on my lady's guitar and hers is a bone stock Gibson ($100 guitar) with some humbuckers and it still sounded bad ass. Also it has effects, chorus, delay and reverb. I turn up the gain, adjust the tone to about half, and hit that delay effect. Very nice for soloing. One thing to be careful about, don't turn it all the way up, I wanted to see how loud it will go, damn near blew my brains out. Lol. I keep it around half(5) and the level is good. Like I said I'm very impressed, if this takes a dump down the road I'm definitely buying another. I don't think I'll need to use my rig again. Lol.

I actually received a pretty nice amp for a Christmas present, before I received this VOX AmPlug and was fine with it, but it just did not have the metal sound I was looking for in an amp. Not only that, but the standard amp requires a chord and a lot of room to lug around everywhere. I saw this device on Amazon and was immediately intrigued by the fact that it could plug right into my guitar, thus producing exceptional portability, and allowed me to either plug in headphones or plug it into a speaker. I was concerned about some of the reviews, but thought I would give it a try. Wow, was I pleasantly surprised! The metal sound of this device blows away any standard amp that I have had and the fact that I can listed to myself play via headphones or on a speaker is awesome! Yes, it has a little bit of static to it, but it is very limited and the overall sound is impressive. I played this for several people in comparison to my standard amp and it was unanimous that this device produced a significantly better metal sound. It is amazing how much of a quality metal sound you get from such a tiny device, I am so impressed that I will be purchasing other varieties of this Plug In. I highly, highly recommend it.

I love the portability and that the 1/4 in. plug swivels. What I really love is the metal distortion on this amplug. For such a small product, it produces great distortion. On the clean channel (green light), if you turn the gain all the way to 10 it gives you a classic rock sound. The second setting (orange light) gives me a great crunch distortion that I like to play with rock n blues. The third setting (red light) gives me the metal distortion that I've wanted with a portable plug un unit. While guitarists have different ideas about what makes a great metal distortion, this gives a really great sound for the size and money. The only negative for me is that while this is a pretty easy product to figure out, there's no user guide, so my first 15 minutes of having it was spent just pushing all the buttons and turning the wheel controls. When I turned this one for the first time it was set on the green light and when I turn up the gain it gave me a classic rock distortion, but no metal distortion. I was upset at first until I pushed the same button again and the light changed to orange and changed again to red when you keep pushing it. When I found this out I became very happy with my amplug. Overall it's a great product and I highly recommend it.

I've been using this since the past one year. An excellent product for your electric guitar practice and travel needs. You can connect it to any speaker with an aux input and you get brilliant tones. I use it with a JBL Flip 4 and it is absolutely brilliant especially for playing leads. There are three amp channels - the green (great for high mid leads, crunch riffing, or even an almost clean tone by getting the gain knob to zero), the orange (for rhythm guitar requirement) and the red (high gain & lead). Also there are 3 effects with 3 presets each thus giving you 9 patches. You can further combine those with amp channels to get a total of 27 adjustable patches (you can still adjust the tone and gain). You can also connect an aux input through a dedicated socket. Overall, this is a brilliant mini amp and at the current price, it's a no brainer. Especially useful for those quick practice sessions and travel

Antes de comprarlo estaba con escepticismo de que fuese a tener un buen sonido, pero después de ver algunas reseñas me decanté a probarlo, compré el modelo de Metal y lo estoy usando con una Fender Stratocaster y he de decir que estoy encantado con este producto, si se usa con buenos cascos el sonido puede llegar a ser sorprendente, es cierto que tiene algo de ruido blanco si se usa con mucho brillo lo cual es normal teniendo en cuenta el producto que es, pero no llega a ser algo molesto ni notorio mientras tocas, además incluye varios ritmos y lo mejor de todo es su portabilidad y comodidad para poder tocar la guitarra silenciosamente, es posible que en un futuro me decida a comprar el modelo para bajos, sinceramente es una buena opción si buscas algo como esto, hasta ahora este pequeño aparatito ha superado todas mis expectativas. 10/10

Cet ampli de poche est très pratique pour jouer n'importe où en ayant un son amplifié. L'autre intérêt est son entrée auxiliaire qui permet de jouer par dessus n'importe quel accompagnement. Je branche mon smartphone dessus et joue par dessus les morceaux que je travaille. En ce qui concerne le son, je n'avais pas d'attente particulière, l'idée était juste de travailler avec. Et bien j'ai été agréablement surpris. Pour un objet qui ressemble à un jouet, le rendu au casque est très bon. Il y a 3 effets qui sont bien fais. Le défaut que je vois, c'est qu'on ne peut pas passer d'un son à un autre en un clic, comme avec des pédales. Mais bon, à ce prix, et pour un simple outil de travail c'est déjà génial.

Hızlı kargo Harika Alet. Kulaklık bağlarsanız sessiz, aux girişli bi Bluetooth hoparlör ile sesli çalabilirsiniz.Bir çift şarjlı pil alırsanız daha iyi olabilir.

I wasn't expecting much, so was pleasantly surprised when I got everything hooked up! It's got Volume, Gain, Tone dials and a tiny magical button with extra effects - chorus, delay and reverb - all of which work adequately for such a tiny gadget! The Aux input is also very useful, if you like jamming or following along. If I wanted to indulge in some nitpicking, it would be that the amp is painfully plasticky and there is no noise reduction (I might need to experiment with the dials some more though). Overall however, the Vox - amPlug2 AP2-MT headphone amp scores exceptionally well on all bases: It's portable, allows you to practice without intruding on your neighbours' peace and quiet, has extra FX and dials you can play with to achieve a sensible tone. More importantly, the price won't hurt your wallet!
