## Description

Review: You Don't Need Any More Than This...(Except - Probably, Some, Decent, Soldering Skills) - 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.
Review: Makes such a great portable practice micro amp - Little thing is working so well. Im impressed with the sound this very portable plug in micro amp provides through head phones. I can take it with me and practice anywhere without annoying anyone. This is such a great thing. Its got some wieght to it. I dont know what i was expecting but it weighed more then I thought it would. This weight makes it feel solid and gives it that quality feel. Batteries don't last quite as long as i had hoped, but i have rechargable ones around and they've been working great in this. Plug and play. Not a lot of hoopla. But is so great to practice in peace !

## Questions & Answers

**Q: What headphones are good for this item?**
A: I just use my smartphone headphones.  I'm sure you'll get better sound with a pair of good music headphones but I don't think it's a requirement.  The Vox amPlugs are simply designed and my smartphone headset work perfectly.

**Q: What type of battery's are best ??**
A: Any good-quality alkaline AAA battery (x 2.)

**Q: Does this thing drain batteries as fast as the korg pandora px4 did?**
A: I've been using the same batteries since the 1st week of January. Granted, I only use the Vox once, maybe, twice a week, for about 1.5 hours at a time.  I have a jumbo pack of batteries at the ready, though.

**Q: Is anybody else getting the high pitch interference screech coming out of this thing? It will be fine one time i use it then the next time all**
A: I don't get any screech or distortion but I barely get any sound either.  This thing is way too quiet.  It barely sounds louder than being unplugged.  Not worth the money IMO.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ I'm glad I purchased it
*by T***D on July 28, 2016*

I use it with a Epiphone Viola bass. Really nice, clear, deep tone on normal (i.e., "high gain") setting. I don't tend to use the other settings ("normal gain", "low gain") as much, as it is hard to compensate for the volume drop, and I can change tone in other ways on the bass itself. (Those setting choices may be more important for other basses though.) The many built-in rhythms aren't an essential feature but they can be fun to practice along with. The ability to pipe in music through the aux jack is great when I want to play along to songs, and the volume of the bass and the music can be changed independently. Based on the quality of the sound and the simplicity of the setup, I have found using this Bass AmPlug to be a nicer experience than the one I had using an iPhone, an iRig adapter, an instrument cable, and guitar apps like AmpliTube. (Those apps are great in their own right and have a crazy number of features, but despite all of the setting possibilities, I could never get my bass tone to sound as pleasing as it does with the AmPlug.) The simplicity of the setup -- bass, AmPlug, headphones -- has caused me to pick up the bass a lot more, as I can quickly "gear up", sit back on the couch, and hear myself play without offending others in the family who want things to be more quiet. The only thing that prevents me from giving it 5 stars is that the cost seems at least $10 too high for something so simple and lightweight.
