I had this for almost a year and never knew that you can increase the intensity of the fx.Thank you so much!
sucks being a simp
BTW, this is the best demo of this thing on TH-cam. Great job man!
Wow, thanks! I'm glad to hear that! I really appreciate that!
Seriously. This review is great man. Thanks for this! 🤘🏻
This thing is totally KILLER, wish i heard about it sooner, got mine on the way!
Awesome! I hope you enjoy it!
The most thorough review of a $40 headphone amp I have come across. Thank you for taking the time to make this. I think this little bugger sounds great and for less than $50 it's pretty amazing.
Thank you! Very informative and thorough review. Killer sounds!
Thank You!
This is one of the best review videos I've ever seen man. Definitely subscribing. Shred on man! 🤘🏻
Thank you!!
Ordered mine yesterday.
Subbed! Super detailed review and I see your channel has great content. Love from the Netherlands!
Thank you so much man, it is a pretty complete review helped me a lot.
Awesome!!
MANN you sound incredible. Good review!
Thank you! Feel free to check out some of my music video playthroughs on the channel if you haven't already.
@Kurt Cobain Thing packs quite a punch for such a small circuit board.
Great review, man!
Thank you!!
Great review Jim.
Thank you!
Dude love your video subbed! Keep up the great work. Will definitely be watching your others. I just bought the bass one heard it has drums.
Thank you!! I'm curious how the bass one works, I'd love to hear an update on that!
Excellent review🍻
Thank you!
Excellent video!! Good job!
Thank you
Thank you for hooking it up to your board/interface. It sounds great. I'd like to try recording with it. Wonder how it sound through the return of an amp. 🤔
I have one of these. Works great for practice in a small place
I own 3. Love'em!
Awesome!!
Awesome review. Just ordered mine off of Sweetwater! 🤘🏻
Thank you!
I hope you like it.
the best review i found on youtube, mine is on the way
Thank you!
Perfect for me, great review. I have the not-too-lofty goal of being a bad 'bedroom guitarist', just for fun. I'll be banging out old metal riffs like I did before I had to hang it up to for my career, because my career sure TF wasn't going to be as a musician.
Good job
Thank you!!
I just got one of these
Can you run a Bluetooth adapter through this and go completely wireless?
Edit : I agree with some of the other guys, best review on TH-cam for this product. I’ll be buying this little bastard.
Thank you! I'm glad I could help!
I guess you technically could if you had a wireless from the guitar to the Amplug and then have a bluetooth transmitter with a 3.5mm plug sending to your headphones. Now as far as a phone is concerned, you could plug that directly into the Amplug, or I suppose you could run bluetooth from the phone to a transmitter that has a 3.5mm. That's a whole lot of fuckery, but then you could just walk around the house with your guitar and phone....technology!
Did you try it?How did it work?What is the name of the transmitter?Also,any latency?
The best overview on this device. Thanks from Ukraine
Thank you
did ur house get blown up
Onne Q: Can you connect it to a little amp, too, though the heads out? I realized you did to your interface, so, I thought if it should be possible,too!
Thanks a lot, great review!😃
This is an amazing product and the metal one is the most versatile from the series as it is able to play anything from sweet crystal cleans to heavy heavy distortion and basically cover any guitarist's needs. I'm thinking of buying another one to implant it into an old guitar along with a jbl go pocket speaker and make a portable electric guitar ready to go.
There ya go! I'd love to see how that works!
do you think i could plug this into a jbl charge 4?
@@distorted.intuitions I don't see why not! As long as the speaker is powered.
Jim Griffin sadly it did not work. maybe i should try to plug the charger into it
@@distorted.intuitions I'll have to experiment with stuff like this, see what works and all.
Very helpful bro, im convinced i bought a rockman metal ace how can u have metal with little to no distortion??? IDK, but im sending it back and geting one of these this thing is spot on to the sound i wanted.
Thnx man have a great one.
Thank you, and I hope you enjoy it. I had no idea the Rockman was that weak, so that is very good to know.
I bought one to.never used it.but I'm gona now
The tone sounds really good for 40$
I own 3 of them. The key is good headphones. I also own the mini cab that vox makes for them. You should try the AC30 version. If you like that classic rock sound.
I might get a couple of them in the future.
What kind of headphones you use??you think iphone headphones would work💀
I have over the ear RCA Studio style headphones. Any headphone will work. But my cheaper skull candy ones sound good at low lever. Once I crank volume it breaks up.
At 21:30 the delay and tone has a serious Alex Scolnick vibe 👍
Yea, you're right, it does actually!
I'm curious to see how I'll manage using it with my Charvel that has a jack on the back!
Oh, now that is interesting!
YES, WE KNOW!!!
I’m so confused is it an amp and the sound comes out of it or do you need a separate amp to play it?
Have you tried it on bass and if you have does it sound good as a distorted bass tone? I wanna get a tone that's distorted but not farting kind, the closest I can describe it as is a Cliff Burton (metallica bassist) kind of tone
Great point, could you finally try that?
Yeah rad. Ima get it. You make it sound rad anyway haha
U can connect it by speaker?
Yes, as long as the speaker is powered somehow, or through a power amp.
10:20 Can't you just have it straight and turn it a bit, so you would see the wheels better by comparison to the other guitar?
I never got why they put the cord input on the front of the guitar, so close to other knobs and the tremolo bar. It's so inconvenient. You always feel the pull from the cable like this, I don't get it. Mine has it on the bottom, like around the corner of where your shown heavy guitar has it.
Yeah i somehow remember as a kid about 18 yrs old hooking my rockman up to my peavey halfstack and jammin and i remember it having way more distortion but maybe they make em different now idk....
Could be, or maybe our tastes have advanced and we forgot how older gear sounds. When I've gone back and played through an old practice amp I used to love, it now sounds like weak garbage to me haha
@@jimgriffin3904 true that man, i guess u r totally right, weve gotten older music and gear have gotten way better and damn i cany wait to get that little vox amp it just sounds killer especially with the third delay turned on WOW, i am so damn impressed with that little thing. Have an outstanding day, wish i knew u for real u dound like an awesome person thanx
Thank you, that is very kind of you to say :)
I'm trying really hard to find a reason not to buy this for practicing. I only found 1 reason that is a very low compromise: not having a true clean sound. Now I found a second reason: This retail packaging, for a 40€ product, is not in ratio of the value of this little beast of an amp, lol.
Tell me you at least got some candy in that box too. Sweetwater usually puts candy in the boxes they send me. Of course, I'm diabetic, so they may just be killing me with kindness.
Oh yea, haha! They're always putting candy in their packages!
I didn’t get candy in mine
@@Cdswjp Maybe there's a shortage. Times are crazy right now.
Very cool.
I am a beginner (played a bit some 20 yrs ago) and considering a esp ltd fc-10 guitar and this to learn the basics and play a bit for fun during this pandemic. Is this a good choice? Do I need anything else, besides guitar, vox amp2 and headphone? Im just looking to learn the basics and play over some metal.
Nope, that is literally all you need: guitar, Amplug, and headphones. It is DEFINITELY a good choice for when you are in your learning stages, especially if you live with other people.
By the way, I'm going to be uploading a series of beginner guitar videos soon that break things down to HOPEFULLY foolproof detail. Be on the lookout for those VERY soon, and good luck in your guitar journey.
I'm not sure if that's the Les Paul style of guitar you're describing, but that should be good.
Jim Griffin It was a more heavy metal style, otherwise I think essentially the same. I ended up not buying, due to financial hardship 😢.

The LTD base models are great, man!
Save up your funds for one, or, you can also go to Guitar Center’s website to scout out used versions of the guitar you’re looking for as well.
If you have the opportunity, you might pick up an LTD model with the “50” number in the model name.
Those models have the LH-150 pickups, which sound a bit better for metal than the LH-100 pickups that are in the “10” models.
Either way is ok, though.
The necks on those LTD guitars feel great to me! 🤘🏻
Yea the necks are like Fender necks, like half a baseball bat. I love my LTD M-207! Had it since 1999 and it was my first 7 string.
Nothing to do with the product itself but everyone can see the mindless amount of air in the delivery package and think the CO2 amount of transportation of product which can be put in a pocket. Crazy world nowadays. But yes...this amp is great. I already have AC30 model and think of getting this one too.
"You can't please everybody, right?"
That statement is probably one of the most important and least remembered adages of our age. Society would be quite different if we all remembered this, and acted in the interests of the majority, instead of the loudest voices. Sorry, but it struck me.
It works like a pedal....
Bro all ur doing is showing of all ur stuff.what about what we are waiting for
You can trash Marshall till the cows come home and have a point! Their mobile amps are complete trash. There's a budget brand amp for half of the price that has a 3" speaker and the same features. It comes with distortion, instead of gain, so it gets heavy on lower volume, while the Marshall sounds like you are destroying glass with plastic tubes. Of course, all these tiny amps sound like cheap, tiny amps, but if you put your brand name, at a high brand price on it, you better deliver something worth it, or don't make it at all. My first E-Guitar came as set with the stacked version of this Marshall amp, and 2x2,7" speakers. It's horrible. When making the amp loud enough to overcome your string noises, it's blaring like crazy and sounds just plain cheap. If you play it on lower volumes, you get to hear your plain string noises+cheap and crappy low volume amp noises, so a loss for everyone. For about 100 bucks, you already get practice amps with a speaker that is capable of producing decent sound at home practicing volume, so I have no idea why these tiny crap amps are made, it's a rip off!
Don't ever buy these tiny amps, unless you just want something to put on a shelf as a looker for guests.
