The Vox AC30 Amplug Packs A Lot Of Amp Power In A Tiny Package
The Vox AC30 amplug enables you to play electric guitar quietly through your ear phones and get a very close approximation of a Vox AC30 amp. It's great for night practice sessions or when the baby is taking a nap. It costs around $40 US and can be found at most local guitar stores or online.
The device itself is small and made of plastic and has a rather flimsy feel to it. Though after two weeks of hard use it hasn't shown any signs of breaking. It has one port for your earphones and another auxiliary port in case you want to play along with a song. It also has three small wheel adjustments for gain, tone and volume, and a tiny on/off switch. A red led lets you know if it's on. It requires two triple-A batteries which were, amazingly, included.
How does it work? Just plug it into your guitar, then plug in your earphones and switch it on. Then adjust the tiny gain, tone and volume wheels as needed.
How does it sound? Well, it sounds quite nice. Now if your guitar has cheap pickups then the sound will not be optimal. But, if your guitar sounds good through your normal amp it should sound great through the amplug. Some reviewers say the amplug sounds just like a Vox AC30 amp. You can get a nice clean sound by keeping the gain at around two or three, or you can get a real distorted sound by cranking the gain up to nine.
There are other versions of the amplug. There's a Classic Rock version, Metal, Bass, Lead, Acoustic, and even a Joe Satriani version, each giving a slightly different sound. The Lead version has a hi-gain sound with a touch of digital delay. The Classic Rock is supposed to sound like a high-gain, British amp; the Metal version is supposed to sound like US high-gain metal; and the Satriani version sounds like, well, Satriani. Who knew you could become Joe Satriani with just a simple plug?
The AC30 is the most versatile of the bunch offering a nice clean sound or a fairly dirty distortion. It's great to rock out with the dirty distorted sound, but after awhile, the clean sound is quite welcome. The amplug will fit any type electric guitar: strat style body, Les Paul, etc. On guitars whose plug ports are not recessed like the strat, the amplug hangs out there precariously and you have to be careful not to knock it off while you are jamming. So no Pete Townsend-like guitar heroics, unfortunately.
Final Thoughts: I've been using the amplug AC30 for about two weeks now and it's fantastic. I'm not tied down to the amp, so I can wander about the house at night playing guitar and no one else in the house is the wiser. This is great for two reasons: no one gets woken up, and no one has to listen to my desperate attempts to play like Jimmy Page.

Plot Overview
Don Quixote is a middle-aged gentleman from the region of La Mancha in central Spain. Obsessed with the chivalrous ideals touted in books he has read, he decides to take up his lance and sword to defend the helpless and destroy the wicked. After a first failed adventure, he sets out on a second one with a somewhat befuddled laborer named Sancho Panza, whom he has persuaded to accompany him as his faithful squire. In return for Sancho’s services, Don Quixote promises to make Sancho the wealthy governor of an isle. On his horse, Rocinante, a barn nag well past his prime, Don Quixote rides the roads of Spain in search of glory and grand adventure. He gives up food, shelter, and comfort, all in the name of a peasant woman, Dulcinea del Toboso, whom he envisions as a princess.
On his second expedition, Don Quixote becomes more of a bandit than a savior, stealing from and hurting baffled and justifiably angry citizens while acting out against what he perceives as threats to his knighthood or to the world. Don Quixote abandons a boy, leaving him in the hands of an evil farmer simply because the farmer swears an oath that he will not harm the boy. He steals a barber’s basin that he believes to be the mythic Mambrino’s helmet, and he becomes convinced of the healing powers of the Balsam of Fierbras, an elixir that makes him so ill that, by comparison, he later feels healed. Sancho stands by Don Quixote, often bearing the brunt of the punishments that arise from Don Quixote’s behavior.
The story of Don Quixote’s deeds includes the stories of those he meets on his journey. Don Quixote witnesses the funeral of a student who dies as a result of his love for a disdainful lady turned shepherdess. He frees a wicked and devious galley slave, Gines de Pasamonte, and unwittingly reunites two bereaved couples, Cardenio and Lucinda, and Ferdinand and Dorothea. Torn apart by Ferdinand’s treachery, the four lovers finally come together at an inn where Don Quixote sleeps, dreaming that he is battling a giant.
Along the way, the simple Sancho plays the straight man to Don Quixote, trying his best to correct his master’s outlandish fantasies. Two of Don Quixote’s friends, the priest and the barber, come to drag him home. Believing that he is under the force of an enchantment, he accompanies them, thus ending his second expedition and the First Part of the novel.
The Second Part of the novel begins with a passionate invective against a phony sequel of Don Quixote that was published in the interim between Cervantes’s two parts. Everywhere Don Quixote goes, his reputation—gleaned by others from both the real and the false versions of the story—precedes him.
As the two embark on their journey, Sancho lies to Don Quixote, telling him that an evil enchanter has transformed Dulcinea into a peasant girl. Undoing this enchantment, in which even Sancho comes to believe, becomes Don Quixote’s chief goal.
Don Quixote meets a Duke and Duchess who conspire to play tricks on him. They make a servant dress up as Merlin, for example, and tell Don Quixote that Dulcinea’s enchantment—which they know to be a hoax—can be undone only if Sancho whips himself 3,300 times on his naked backside. Under the watch of the Duke and Duchess, Don Quixote and Sancho undertake several adventures. They set out on a flying wooden horse, hoping to slay a giant who has turned a princess and her lover into metal figurines and bearded the princess’s female servants.
During his stay with the Duke, Sancho becomes governor of a fictitious isle. He rules for ten days until he is wounded in an onslaught the Duke and Duchess sponsor for their entertainment. Sancho reasons that it is better to be a happy laborer than a miserable governor.
A young maid at the Duchess’s home falls in love with Don Quixote, but he remains a staunch worshipper of Dulcinea. Their never-consummated affair amuses the court to no end. Finally, Don Quixote sets out again on his journey, but his demise comes quickly. Shortly after his arrival in Barcelona, the Knight of the White Moon—actually an old friend in disguise—vanquishes him.
Cervantes relates the story of Don Quixote as a history, which he claims he has translated from a manuscript written by a Moor named Cide Hamete Benengeli. Cervantes becomes a party to his own fiction, even allowing Sancho and Don Quixote to modify their own histories and comment negatively upon the false history published in their names.
In the end, the beaten and battered Don Quixote forswears all the chivalric truths he followed so fervently and dies from a fever. With his death, knights-errant become extinct. Benengeli returns at the end of the novel to tell us that illustrating the demise of chivalry was his main purpose in writing the history of Don Quixote.
