Got my hands on a Vox AC30 amPlug 2 headphone guitar amplifier & it's a lot of fun to use! It sounds great and has loads of cool features and effects, so in this video I check out how it sounds.

FYI you can get three versions of each effect by holding down the FX button and tapping the power button. It should beep and give you variants of the chorus, reverb and delay.

Could always just use a similar adapter to the one featured in this video, and just plug directly into a bluetooth speaker aux in, haven't tried it but should work in theory.
@asakayosapro 2 жыл бұрын
Direct audio cable is the way to go, not bluetooth... BT has issues with sounds when the song or track is too silent, or has a delay before it actually plays the audio. I know mine does it whenever I play ASMR stuff on - all the whispers never get played unless it's continuous. Can't go wrong with direct aux, though you will want a mono > stereo converter adapter/splitter somewhere along the way.

Bought their integrated headphone equivalent of these plug n play amps. Very cool technology but actually think the amps being demonstrated here are more user friendly because you don’t have to take the headphones off to change the effects, more cost effective because they are three times cheaper than the amps in this video, which is good for cash strapped younger musicians, and finally simply better because they have a tremolo sound built in. Great video, great tech. Love my headphones but wish I’d done my homework before purchasing. All novice guitarists: do your research!!

Hello Rob, I was looking up on this product and found your video, but I'm still not sure watching your video: Do you feel any "output delay"? I mean the delay on the output, not the FX. I was thinking about, VOX AC30 -> Bluetooth P2 Adapter -> Bluetooth Headphones. That way I can play guitar using bluetooth headphones. What do you think?

How is the strain on the amp when heavy cables like yours are plugged in? In the video it looks like it is holding quite a bit of weight, which could cause strain, which could decrease life expectancy of the amp. Does it still work? Other than that, cool little headphone amp!

I got the metal one to practice and play along with music that I really like and I actually really like the distortion to it. it's a little too much hitting an open bar with a drop D tuning but that's probably more on me hitting the strings too hard. Aaaaanyways it's great, was really interested how these would hold up was a sort of head like those cigarette smokey amps. by the sounds of it it's not too bad, especially for practice or just messing around, but with it being adapted through an aux chord I wouldn't want to record with it as the tone doesn't seem to sound as crisp or clear as a quarter inch does. Still great though! Especially for quiet settings. Thanks for the review!
