When you're just beginning to learn guitar there are two things you want. You want to play LOUD, and you don't want anyone to hear how bad you play. This thing solves both of those problems. Sure you could get one of those "Mini" amps, but they aren't really all that mini, then you need a cord from your guitar connected to the mini amp, and then you need headphones connected to the mini amp.With this, it's so small, you just plug it into your guitar, and plug your headphones into it. Done.

After reading about this gadget from a number of reliable sources, I went ahead and gambled the 40 ducats on it and couldn't be happier. The first time I popped this little doohicky into my Ibanez RG, plugged in the phones, maxed the gain and slowly raised the volume I was nearly slammed into the wall by forcefield of metal madness. I attacked the Phrygian scale then glided into my favorite riffs. Power chords: BANG! Who knew you could get such big amp sound out of this tiny plastic box?Substitute a plain old minijack cable between the phones jack and anything with speakers and you have an improvised amp with sound as big as the remote speakers allow.
It also has a minijack auxiliary input so you can jam along to your iPod or PC output in virtually total silence. No more annoying neighbors banging on your walls when you get the urge to shred at 2:00 a.m.
It would be nice if there was some reverb on the device, but metal holds up well with big gain so I'm not complaining. The device also has a tendency to swing around while you play -if you are a highly mobile shredder this might annoy you (but can easily be fixed with a bit of gaffers tape).
If you're on a budget or just want to jam loudly in peace, you could do much worse than this. Throw one in a gig bag with a set of decent phones (and an iPod if you want) and you may as well be carrying a pocket sized amp with you. Note also that this was designed for METAL -it's all about the gain. If you are looking for something bluesy or some other wimpy sound, consider the other amPlugs.
Read Best Reviews of Vox amPlug Metal Guitar Headphone Amp Here
This is a very neat little product, The sound is decent, however, not clean. If you are looking for a clean, undistorted sound, this is not right for you. If you like distortion, this headphone amp is nearly perfect. It may say Metal, but, it does so much more. You can get anything from just a little crunchiness to a Metal (not too heavy, gets too distorted) sound. I paired this amp with a pair of Sony MDR7506 Pro's and it allows me to play all night a move around without waking up anyone in the house, or the neighborhood. It is also nice that I am no longer confined to on area in the house to play. I can move around freely and not put myself into complete seclusion when I wanna break out my guitar. I would recommend this product to anyone whose ever had to put up with roommates or household members complaining about your guitar playing.Want Vox amPlug Metal Guitar Headphone Amp Discount?
If you play metal and wanna warm up before a show this is your best buddy. Crunch is awesome, as if a pedal was being used. Volume control, mids, and highs also controlled by dails. Plus its so small it won't be I'm the way of your lap when seated or standing. Buy it, It's amazing. . Stay metal!
