 Godlike Mobile Riffage July 29, 2009

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.
Works Great! July 14, 2008

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.

I read the other reviews here; in turn buying the product. I went from being decent and non-religious about practicing to having a need to practice and the ability. My other amp is 100 watts. This is an inspiring piece of machinery ; the tone is astounding and the features I give 5 stars. The aux hook up is brilliant. Enough reviewing, time to continue upping my technique! Fast shipping, marvelous seller. you will not regret buying this.
Amazing...enough said. February 27, 2010

Great product. The lead tone is phenominal....some of the best I've heard ever....this includes 100 watt amps. Only complaint is the rhythm tone is kinda crunchy....more overdriven...not really distorted. But it won't bother you anyhow....I just prefer a little more gain. The battery life is pretty good, just replaced em' for the first time in 4 months of constant use. It get's pretty loud for a mini amp and if you're a diehard metal head who appreciates anything from slayer to killswitch engage...than this amp is for you.
Small Package, Big Sound! April 19, 2010
R. Mitchell (Cherryvale, KS. United States)
I knew how big, or should I say 'small' this thing was. I had stocked it at our facility. I wanted something I could take into other rooms or to take with me when I travel. I currently play through a Peavey 5150, and it's not very mobile. When I got the Vox Metal Guitar Headphone Amp and plugged it in, I was amazed at how big the sound coming out of it was! This thing really rips, and I don't turn the volume all the way up. It's no match for the 5150, but if you are thinking about spending your hard earned money to buy this, you won't be disappointed.
