Your late-night guitar habit doesn’t need a neighborhood audience. The VOX amPlug 3 AC30 plugs directly into your guitar and puts AC30-inspired tone in your wired headphones. No amp to set up, no guitar cable across the floor.

Tap the power/channel button to switch between the warmer Normal voice and brighter Top Boost sound, then dial in gain, tone, and volume. Built-in tremolo, chorus, delay, and reverb let you dress things up one effect at a time. There’s also a rhythm section for keeping your practice honest and an AUX input for playing along with a wired music source.

Powered by two AAA batteries and small enough to keep in your guitar bag, it’s a straightforward practice rig for the couch, the road, or those ten minutes when setting up the big amp would eat half your playing time.
