I bought a cheap little thingy from VOX a few days ago..
The VOX AmPlug Metal It's a little cartrigde with a golden VOX logo, three controls (gain, tone and volume), on/off switch, red power led, a mini-jack out for headphones (or recording, but I'll get to that later), a bit of vintage VOX styling and a big piece of jack sticking out underneath (for plugging into your guitar). It runs on two AAA batteries, and runs for quite some time (if you remember to turn it off after use )' Price: 40 USD. Great bang for your buck. Operation: Plug it into your guitar, put some headphones on your head and ROCK ON! It's easy as sunday morning! Appearance: Looks great actually! VOX in a box Sound: The most important thing of the whole review isn't it...? The sound is good, but it's got a high end fizzle going on that I'm not to fond of.. I mean, it's better than many amp modelers out there and that's a great achievment cosidering it's size and prize. If you plug a jack into the headphones output, you can record directly through your soundcard. And that works flawlessly, and sound very well too. I've recorded a clip with 4 different riffs so you can hear what it's all about To make it sound better, I EQ'ed it a little.. Demo: testing_VOX_AmPlug_Metal_2.mp3 ( 4.46MB ) Number of downloads: 1709 Considering what you get for the price, this is a very cool device! Well worth the money for shredding your ears to a bloody pulp without bothering anyone |

Sounds surprisingly good. Do you have the un-eq'ed file aswell? I think's more fair to evaluate
QUOTE To make it sound better, I EQ'ed it a little.. Probably means, I added EQ, chorus, compressor and mastered the clip... a little... -------------------- My bands homepage

Sounds good, but I think it would be good to give dry samples

Amps are getting smaller and smaller
Sounds pretty good for this handy little device. I'm also interested in the dry sound. -------------------- Roland Cube 30; Toneport GX; Cort kx1; Ibanez RG1570; Ibanez EW35ABE-NT http://www.last.fm/user/Mr_T83 |
