haha That is exactly what I'm doing. I couldn't choose between those two. Which one did you get; Classic Rock or AC30 & was it worth it? I'm ordering one of them in the morning. I agree, excellent reviewism.
Ohhh you did me proud. As a complete old timer noob who's just decided to buy a guitar at 56 and try to be his lifetime hero Angus but knows nothing, I'm off to buy one of these now. Really appreciate your no nonsense straight to the point videos. Very very well done. You have a new subscriber/ student
@@GrowWithGuitar I was wondering do you need to have something in the output jack or is there a small speaker contained in the device it self? I have seen the mesh but IDK if that is decorative or an actuall small speaker. Please let me know Thanks
I have one of these. I can plug my mp3 player in, and play along. It gets great classic rock sounds with an LP style guitar. Or you can just play through it, and not disturb anyone. I really like mine. The only hassle is it's a battery eater.
Hi Joseph ! I looked your videos for the Vox Classic Rock (and the one with all models), the Marshall MS-2, the Valeton and the Blackstar. First, I want to say thank you ! I'm not really good at english but your videos helped me a lot. I want to learn guitar and my brother gave me his old one so I searched and find on Amazon the Vox & Marshall (both at 30€ in France). I want to play Sum 41 or RED songs principally but some Pop Rock or Metal songs too. I also read that the Vox Classic Rock was good for playing different genre so, do you think this one will fit perfectly for me ? After seeing your videos, I want to take this one.
That's awesome! This one should be perfect for sum41 and pop rock. It isn't ideal for metal, but it should work for now as you learn guitar. I do think it is the best option among the other ones you mentioned for your use though.
Great video, Joseph! Is it also possible to play John’s Frusciante riffs with this Classic Rock Amplug? I really love the sound, but i would also like to play some clean solos! Is there this versatility?
Hey I'm curious, why did you set the tone dial at 1 when doing the Gain demo? I thought maybe 5 or higher would make sense for a more normal tone. But maybe you have a reason for this?
If you are like me and are a literal plug and play style or a set it and forget it style, I would go with the Vox. I also prefer the tone control on the Vox model. I can't get used to the proprietary blackstar tone control. Only reason I might go with the blackstar is for the convenience of changing between clean and drive tones with a button press.

No the private video is not the bass model. I assumed the bass model is more for electric bass guitar. Were you looking for how it sounds with electric guitar?
Probably the either the classic or the lead. Metal seems to have to much gain and grit at low levels. You need a cleaner tone than something like thrash metal would.
Yes you can. If you use a 3.5mm cable to connect your phone into the aux in on the amplug, then you can play the backing tracks from your phone. Here is a link to that cable: amzn.to/3nUJDDY (affiliate link).
might be the most informative amplug review ever. currently comparing this to the ac30 and it was a great help! definitely subscribing to you man!
Glad it was helpful and thanks for subscribing Jeff. 🙂

Good for you man! You're never too old.
Joseph...I wanted to grab an Amplug, but I didn’t know which one. This demo was really helpful. The Classic Rock Amplug is the one for me!
Glad it helped. Thanks for watching Allan!
@@GrowWithGuitar I was wondering do you need to have something in the output jack or is there a small speaker contained in the device it self? I have seen the mesh but IDK if that is decorative or an actuall small speaker. Please let me know Thanks
You need headphones. The mesh is just decorative.
Just getting into guitar here. I found your videos and I really appreciate them. Thank you for such a thorough demo here!!
So Helpful man! We get to hear all settings 👏🏼👏🏼🙏 thank you. Subscribed
Excellent demo, as usual!
If you roll your guitar volume back a bit you can get more clean tones on the green setting. This Classic Rock is very versatile.
Yes you can. I'm not sure how and if I will show that in my videos. Still thinking about it.
@@GrowWithGuitar do it man! Do it! 😃
I have one of these. I can plug my mp3 player in, and play along. It gets great classic rock sounds with an LP style guitar. Or you can just play through it, and not disturb anyone. I really like mine. The only hassle is it's a battery eater.
hey! 👋🏻 saw that you commented on Think Medias video and decided to stop by! Awesome content! Keep crushing it ❤️! #greatcontent
Thanks for coming
GREAT Demo… Thanks! ❤️🎶
Smart guy and nice reviews. I think "Classic" is more versatile, good for rhythmic and solo too...
Thanks!
excelent review, thanks!!!
Thanks for watching!
great video
Thanks!

@@GrowWithGuitar okay, thank you Joseph ! ^^
Great video, Joseph! Is it also possible to play John’s Frusciante riffs with this Classic Rock Amplug? I really love the sound, but i would also like to play some clean solos! Is there this versatility?
Yes, you can get both clean and drive tones with the classic rock.
Hey I'm curious, why did you set the tone dial at 1 when doing the Gain demo? I thought maybe 5 or higher would make sense for a more normal tone. But maybe you have a reason for this?
Can VOX Classic Rock make clean sounds? Maybe if you lower the gain to 0 or 1 ?.
Hi. Can you use this on an electro acoustic guitar please?
Good job 👍👍👍👍
😀
I didn't hear any delay, reverb or other effect besides distortion. Mine doesn't don't either.
I know you tried the Blackstar amplug too which one would you recommend the Vox Classic Rock amplug or the Blackstar amplug? Thank you
If you are like me and are a literal plug and play style or a set it and forget it style, I would go with the Vox. I also prefer the tone control on the Vox model. I can't get used to the proprietary blackstar tone control. Only reason I might go with the blackstar is for the convenience of changing between clean and drive tones with a button press.
@@GrowWithGuitar Thank you I think im going with the Vox Classic Rock im trying to get that Angus Young sound for practice without bothering neighbors
What's the battery life on that.
Can it make clean sound? Maybe if you turn gain to 0?
What gear do you want me to review next?

about any delay pedal please.
Noted
Why no bass vox? Is that the private vid in this playlist?
No the private video is not the bass model. I assumed the bass model is more for electric bass guitar. Were you looking for how it sounds with electric guitar?
@@GrowWithGuitar I was hoping to see how they all work. That's all. Good channel!
I will see if I can do one in the future. Would you want to see it with bass or guitar? or both?
Which one would you think would give you the closest sound to 80s hair metal?
I would look at the metal or classic rock models, but I would lean towards the metal version.
Probably the either the classic or the lead. Metal seems to have to much gain and grit at low levels. You need a cleaner tone than something like thrash metal would.
Quality video
Can I get a clean sound on the classic Rock version, if yes how
Yes. If the clean tone in the video isn't enough, you can try lowering the volume on your guitar to have less gain.
Can we put a backingtrack to this amplug?
Yes you can. If you use a 3.5mm cable to connect your phone into the aux in on the amplug, then you can play the backing tracks from your phone. Here is a link to that cable: amzn.to/3nUJDDY (affiliate link).
Hello, can it be used for an electric bass?
there’s one version made for bass !
VOX versus black star ?
I wanna play Oasis. Classic rock is proper?
Yes. Classic rock is great for the rock genre.
Sounds like a Marshall, i still prefer the AC-30.
The Amplug Metal is mid.
Are you playing 'slice of heaven' ?
Great video man, thanks!
