Vox amPlug3 AP3-BQ - Guitar Pocket Headphone Amplifier - Boutique

This thing does exactly what it promises: deliver the tone of a classic amp through your headphones. I needed something to let me play through headphones, since even my 5w tube amp was too lout for a lot of times at home. I'm something of a tube amp snob; I really like the tone and response of a good all-tube guitar amp.One thing that drew me to this amp is that it actually uses an analog circuit imitating the amp of choice instead of just a digital modeler as all the others do. And for a solid state circuit, the silver version of the amplug does a really good job at matching the tone of a vintage fender amp while also having response and dynamics very similar to what I'd expect out of a tube amp. The clean tones out of these things (at least through good headphones) are just amazing. It sounds and feels just like I'm playing through a Fender Twin.That clean Fender sound is the main reason I bought this amp. Rather than plugging directly into my guitar, I plug it into the last pedal in my chain and use an 8' cord to plug into my headphones. I was a little nervous about how well this thing would take pedals, and the answer is just like an amp (with one caveat below)! My eq pedal still perfectly shapes the tone, my distortion sounds just like it should, etc. It lets me effortlessly switch over from my amp to headphones when I need to be quiet. (If I wanted to be really slick, I could put an A/B switch at the end of my chain and just change between amp and phones with the tap of a foot.The built-in effects are pretty good too. I tooled around with the gain, and it's a good, realistic sound. That said, you only have one option, and I'm more partial to the crunch of my pedal, so I keep the amp clean. The other effects are nice too, and it's nice to be able to add a bit of reverb and stuff to your sound. Are the effects a match for a good pedal? No, and I wouldn't expect it to be for a cheap, tiny headphone amp. But they definitely aren't worse than a cheap pedal, and the fact that they come included is really just a bonus.CONS:Yes, it's flimsy, as many reviews state. It's made of cheap plastic, and I'm sure it would be easy to break. That's the tradeoff for the low price you pay. It doesn't feel like it's going to fall apart though. Don't yank it out of the plug or set the guitar down on it, and store it in a place where it won't get excessively banged around.The amp doesn't have a lot of headroom. A booster pedal can very easily push the amp to breakup, and unlike the gain channel on the amp, this distortion does not sound good (ie you can't push it like you would a tube amp). If you're using pedals, make sure to set the levels so that the input signal isn't too strong for the ampThis is an amazing tool for playing electric guitar through headphones. It really is like playing through a good tube amp.

Questo mini-amp è abbastanza soddisfacente, la qualità del suono è buona, bello il reverbero che suona molto naturale, va benissimo se ci si deve esercitare in cuffia o sui brani, magari a casa di notte sul divano per non disturbare o in vacanza, ma ovviamente ci sono anche dei contro, per es. 1. le pile non durano moltissimo (il manualetto indica 11 max, quelle incluse nella confezione saranno durate meno della metà), meglio sarebbe stato forse la possibilità di una ricarica via usb. 2. se non si usano cuffie a bassa impedenza il volume in uscita è un tantino basso e 3. l'ho usato con 3 bassi attivi diversi con un'uscita abbastanza alta per cui il gain difficilmente lo si può alzare sopra 1 perché tende a saturare facilmente.

アンプラグ3はリズム機能が追加されたのとエフェクトのかかり具合が無段階になったので使い勝手がよくなりました。そしてこのUSは音が良いです。Fenderアンプのコンプ感等が見事に再現されてます。言っちゃ悪いですが、ちゃちな筐体からよくこの音が出るもんだと思います。ただ、個体差なのかわかりませんが、リズムのボリュームをあげていくと電源が落ちることがあります。すぐに直りますが。

付属の電池はすぐなくなります。だいぶ傾けないとどれがどれだかわかりません。なので、位置を覚えた方がいいと思います。数字は見えるのでなんとかなります。一番左がゲインです。練習するときにいつも使ってます。アンプに繋いだ練習のハードルが下がりました。買ってよかったです。

13年、高校時代ぶりに買いました。当時のamPlug1より色々進化してて感動！お陰様でギター触るのが楽しい日々です。
