Vox - amPlug2 AP2-BS Bass Guitar Headphone Amplifier with Rhythms

Product Information

The benefits of built-in rhythm patterns is probably our favorite feature. Also, these patterns help out when you need a break from composing and can relax by playing with the pre-programmed melody. Vox amPlug 2 Bass has 9 various patterns that may be adjusted by volume and tone, and this won’t affect the sound of the guitar in any way. Bottomline

I have not yet used the built in rhythms, but they sound pretty decent! Also, AAA batteries instead of a 9 volt is much appreciated. When you disconnect your guitar/bass and power-off your amPhones, they will function as a conventional set of headphones that offer the superb sound quality that you would expect from VOX. The headphones themselves are made by Audio-Technica, the name you trust in headphones. You'll enjoy optimum sound quality and a comfortable fit that will not produce listener fatigue, even during extended listening sessions. Their folding design allows easy portability, and the extension cable and adaptor plug are also included, making these units an excellent choice for their stand-alone headphone functionality. A headphone amp helps you monitor your instrument while playing it. Whether you need it for practice or play, you’ll want the best clarity and accuracy. S o in this article, we’ll show you the best headphone amp for bass options available on the market. Versatility is what makes the Valeton Rushead Max join this list. You get a few amp models to work with, plus a number of other features and effects that should cover the gamut of what you might need. Best features and specs If you stay only at the beginning of the very long road to reaching perfection, Milisten Guitar Bass Headphone Amplifier is just the tool that you need. It’s very user-friendly and lets you jam in peace. Best features and specsI have an old Gretch, Silent Amp, headphone amp that I got about 1968, which still works but has a loud hum. This product uses a headphone amp circuit based on the valve reactor technology, achieving a dynamic amp sound that takes impedance, efficiency and dynamic characteristics into account. This design faithfully simulates the characteristics of the original amp circuitry with entirely analog specifications.

When you only begin your musical journey and don’t have a lot of experience, it’s important that any piece of equipment that you use is straightforward and intuitive to use. These two characteristics are absolutely true about the Milisten Guitar Bass Headphone Amplifier. Bottomline When the power is off, the amPhones can be used as conventional headphones that offering the superb sound quality that you would expect from VOX I have a 200 watt bass amp that I can plug headphones and CD/MP3 player in, but it is not convenient to lug it to where I want to practice at the time. If you're wondering how this sounds with guitar, I personally love it. On the clean channel you get a nice, loud, dry sound that feels rich and smooth. It won't give you the crunch, or reverb of a guitar-specific plug-in amp, but it's good enough to practice and jam with if you like clean and dry.

Customer Reviews

These models feature highly reliable closed-air dynamic headphone units made by Audio-Technica. The products faithfully recreate the sound of your instrument, offering both loudness and a wide sonic field. They can also be worn comfortably for long periods of time with a minimum of fatigue, the ear pads are designed to rotate for easy storage, and the headphone themselves offer exceptional performance. When powered off, the product can be used as a standard pair of headphones. Uses a headphone amplifier circuit based on valve reactor technology. If I don't fret the strings correctly, it buzzes and produces a loud muffled sound. This is kind of annoying. The drum patterns are essentially useless. They're nice if you're trying to get your timing down, but it's just as easy to play along with prerecorded music from an MP3 player of some kind.

As mentioned before, the ideal buyer would be someone who is already familiar with the Ameg SVT and looking for something to emulate that. I want to thank both Rob, and Marshall Oliver. I needed this by a specific day; Rob went out of his way to get this to me on a very short deadline. Thanks Rob! Marshall is always killing it with his awesome customer service and knowledge. He's always helpful, very understanding, and always goes above and beyond. Great guy to talk to as well. Sweetwater has a customer for life! The VOX 2ch USB-ASIO Driver allows certain VOX Products to be used as an ASIO compatible USB audio interface. With this driver, you can play and record audio with very low latency with an ASIO compatible application. I have Sony studio monitor headphones. You need good headphones to get the best sound. You don't need to break the bank, but el-cheapo phones probably won't sound as good. I don't think ear buds would work well. I get that the amps are small and so using combinations of button presses is probably essential. But this is the first time I’ve had to consult the manual on a piece of music tech for a while to figure out how to do certain things.

VOX 2ch Audio Driver may not work on some PCs, and it may prevent some applications working properly. Practicing bass guitar at home without any sort of amplification just doesn’t feel the same! But getting those hours of practice in without annoying your family members or neighbors means playing through a normal amp isn’t an option either. A completely analog design accurately simulates the circuits of classic tube amplifiers resulting in a rich, detailed sound. This amp is characterized by being a high-headroom clean combo amp with built-in chorus, so that’s what we personally like about this. Bottomline

These amazing little machines, also known as ‘amPlugs’ plug directly into your bass, are powered by batteries, and allow you to hear an amplified bass tone through any pair of regular headphones without the need for a large amp or cables.We recommend uninstalling the VOX 2ch Audio Driver when using the target VOX product with non-ASIO driver mode or general-purpose ASIO driver. When you are choosing the best headphone amp for bass, you should take the convenience and your creative flow into consideration. For instance, you alone should know how long you may need to play non-stop. Understanding that, choosing the type of battery that suits your playing the most should be something to keep in mind. It’s better when an amp offers you a smidgeon of choice over the tones rather than providing you with one clear tone. Rhythm patterns The drum beats are basic, but useful to jam along to, and the tempo control is easy enough to figure out and use. There are tone and volume controls as well, both for the bass, and the drum loops, so you can make your sound fit your playing style. There are a few different effects you can add, but they're so thin sounding that I prefer the dry signal.
