Plug ‘N’ Play


I recently ordered one of these plug ‘n’ play headphone amps for my electric guitar. It’s the VOX amPlug, and it arrived today. I took it for a spin and I have to say it rocks! (literally.) I recommend this highly for anyone who wants to practice without waking the neighbors or the baby. It costs only $39 and comes in 3 varieties. The one I chose is the AC30 for that “tubey” Beatles sound, but you can get Classic Rock or Metal sounds, too.
It has an auxiliary input for playing along with your iPod. I searched high and low and finally found a small connector that jacks my shuffle directly into it thus eliminating any extra wires. If you think you might like something like this, I highly recommend ordering from Sweetwater because the are fast, friendly, and you pay no shipping.
