Vox amPlug 3 Modern Bass Headphone Bass Amp
The bass version of the amPlug 3, voiced after an aggressive modern bass amp. What sets it apart is the channel pair: one clear and bright, one seriously distorted.
- Channel one: clear and bright
- Channel two: high-gain distortion
- Analogue solid-state circuitry with enhanced sound over the previous version
- Added features compared with the previous generation
- Stereo effects for width in headphones
- Built-in rhythms to practise against
- TRRS connection for smartphone video recording
- Pocket sized: easy to carry, no cable or amp needed
Plugs straight into the bass, so silent practice needs nothing but headphones. The tone on offer is that of an aggressive modern bass amp rather than a thinned-down practice sound.
The amPlug 3 Modern Bass plugs into the instrument jack and gives you the tone of an aggressive modern bass amp through headphones. It improves on the previous version with added features and enhanced sound.
Two very different channels
Channel one is clear and bright, the sort of sound that keeps note definition intact while you work. Channel two goes the other way with gnarly high-gain distortion. Between them they cover most of what a bass player needs from a practice amp.
Analogue circuitry and stereo effects
Analogue solid-state circuitry does the heavy lifting, and the stereo effects widen the sound so headphone practice does not feel closed in.
Rhythms and phone recording
Built-in rhythms give you something to lock to during woodshedding, and a TRRS connection lets you plug in a smartphone to record video. The whole unit fits in a pocket and plugs directly into the bass, so nothing else needs to come with it.
