Vox amPlug 3 US Silver Headphone Guitar Amp
The US Silver is the amPlug 3 that goes after American stack tone rather than a British or boutique voice. It plugs straight into the guitar and out to headphones, with analogue solid-state circuitry doing the work.
- Voicing: characteristic of a US-made 100-watt amp stack
- Channel one: clear and warm clean tone
- Channel two: smooth, soft driven sound
- Circuitry: analogue solid-state
- Effects: stereo effects for width in headphones
- Rhythms: built-in patterns for practice
- Connectivity: TRRS connection for smartphone video recording
- Size: pocket sized
If you are choosing between the amPlug 3 models, this is the one to take for big American clean tones and a softer edge of breakup rather than a tight boutique drive.
The Vox amPlug 3 US Silver is a headphone guitar amp that plugs into your instrument jack and gives you the sound associated with a US-made 100-watt stack, at a size that fits in a pocket.
The US voice
This model in the amPlug 3 range is built around the big American stack sound. Channel one is clear and warm, the kind of clean that stays open when you dig in. Channel two moves into a smooth, soft driven tone rather than a hard edged distortion.
Analogue solid-state
The circuitry is analogue solid-state, which keeps the response direct and immediate under the fingers.
Stereo effects and built-in rhythms
Stereo effects give the sound width in headphones. Built-in rhythms give you a pulse to practise against, which makes an hour of woodshedding far more productive than playing to silence.
Record straight to a phone
The TRRS connection lets you record video on a smartphone with the amp signal fed in directly, so a clip captures what you are actually hearing.
Improved over the previous generation
The amPlug 3 adds features over the version it replaces while keeping the format that made the range popular, which is an amp that lives in the guitar case.
