Vox amPlug 2 AC30 Headphone Guitar Amplifier

🎧 Vox AC30 Tone In Your Pocket

The Vox amPlug 2 AC30 is a self-contained headphone amplifier that plugs directly into your guitar's output jack. No cables, no amp, no speaker — just your guitar, a pair of headphones, and genuine Vox AC30 tone at any volume level, any time of day.

In this 5-minute review Landon covers the full walkthrough, tone samples across clean and gain settings, and a demo of the three built-in effects — delay, chorus, and reverb — which surprised him with their quality at this price point.

One thing most users never discover: hold the FX button and power button simultaneously to cycle through 3 variations of each effect. You'll hear 1 to 3 beeps indicating which variation is active — a genuinely useful hidden feature at this price.

🎛️ Built-in Effects

🔁 Delay

A clean tape-style delay that works well with the AC30 voicing. Adds depth to single-note lines and arpeggios. Three variations adjust the delay time and feedback.

🌀 Chorus

A lush stereo chorus that takes advantage of the headphone output. Sounds great on clean tones. Three variations move from subtle shimmer to full vintage chorus character.

🌊 Reverb

Room and hall-style reverb that adds space to clean tones. Sounds more natural than you'd expect from a device this small. Three variations go from tight room to open hall.
