BOUTIQUE

I’ve owned and used two AmPlug2 for several years (Classic Rock & Metal) but needed to replace the ‘Classic Rock’ as it went faulty. After doing some research I opted to get the ‘Boutique’ AmPlug3. These have moved on considerably. The build quality is the same high quality but the internal electronics are clearly where the development has been made. Too much to type but will say that the sounds, tones, adjustability and inclusion of some drum beats has moved the game on. It is possible to get some great warm tones from the amp replication and is also heavy enough on the gain setting that it almost makes my ‘Metal’ AmPlug2 redundant. Was at a very competitive price on Amazon (£39.99 delivered at the time of this review) and arrived the next day. Only negative is that the included batteries were dead so had to use my own. The supplied batteries are not that great so no big issue for me. A lot of reviews don’t mention that AmPlugs are also designed to be plugged into a mini Vox practice amp which is tiny but punches well above its size! Again I’ve been using the little amp with these AmPlugs for several years and more than enough for home practice (in my opinion anyway). Great work by Vox on the new AmPlug3 and in particular the ‘Boutique’. The only alternative I’d consider at this level at a slightly higher price-point is a Lekato mini pedal board.

What a great gizmo. Plug it into your guitar, plug headphones into it, power on and that's it, you've got your own private jam / practice studio. There's also effects that I'm yet to use so can't comment on these. The sound coming out of it is soft and pure, no distortions, but it depends a lot on the headphones. Perfect for novices who do not want to annoy people around them with the noise coming out of their guitar, but also for seasoned guitarists that want to jam a bit in privacy. Public service announcement : this will NOT make you a better guitar player. Apparently you need practice and practice and some more.

I used to own a Vox Amplug 1 but sold it years ago to move on to digital app-based headphone amps like iRig. A child of the 70s, I've been missing the simplicity of things that just plug in and work - no phones, PCs or apps needed. I bought the 'Boutique' Amplug 3 on a bit of a whim and couldn't be happier. Vox has made numerous improvements to the Amplug including a rotating jack plug, built-in drum machine, multi-effects, tap tempo and dual channels. The clean channel sounds bright and clear but turning up the drive and volume dials adds plenty of growl and grunt. Switching to the second channel, tones range from classic rock to searing lead. I love it! The built-in effects are nice, with the option of dry, chorus, delay or reverb. You can also adjust the effects level in the mix. An AUX jack allows you to connect an external device such as a phone or laptop for recording or playback. I use it to access guitar lessons on my PC and play along, enjoying great stadium tones without disturbing anyone in the house with my guitaring incompetence. My favourite thing overall is the simplicity of these things. Simply add two AAA batteries (supplied), plug it in to your guitar's jack socket, connect headphones and switch it on for instant great tones.

As described, works just as I had hoped. Highly recommend and good value

It shuts itself off within minutes. Makes my American ultra sound like a'K' Pointless cheap feeling gimmick. I'm hoping the Fender Mustang headphone amp will fair better. Edit. Having received and used the Fender Mustang headphone amp for only a couple of hours, it feels an absolute cheek that vox have the shame to release this unit....buy cheap, buy twice.

Given the price and size, it's amazing what this thing can do. You can sometimes get a surprisingly good tone out of it, but chords usually sound muffled and it only really shines with single notes. Plus you'd be surprised how annoying it is for all the controls on your amp to be on a tiny little box you can barely reach, and forget being able to see the controls if you have an underside input jack. You will have to take the amp out to change the settings. Which you will have to do frequently, every time you accidentally turn the effects on by brushing against your chair or bed. Plus there are loads of effects, so you have to cycle through them for ages just to get your clean tone back. Am I glad I got it? I don't know, probably. Playing electric guitar unplugged is a miserable experience, and it hampers your ability to improve because you're never sure if you have a good technique. Does it solve that problem? Sort of.

EXCELLENT

Der VOX amPlug 3 liefert einen überraschend druckvollen und dynamischen Gitarrensound. In Kombination mit einem Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO Kopfhörer steht das Klangbild einem Verstärker in nichts nach und die Batterielaufzeit ist akzeptabel, allerdings wären wiederaufladbare Batterien eine sinnvolle Ergänzung. Jetzt lässt es sich in jeder Tages- und Nachtzeit üben. Eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

It’s amazing what you can get out of this little thing. Gorgeous cleans and overdrive that doesn’t just become noise. The effects are nice as well. The only downside is that the instructions don’t give you much useful information.
