So...
Vox plugged into guitar
Computer to VOX's AUX in (patch cable with headphone jack at each end)
Vox output to computer speakers]]> Opinions and Polls lue42 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/amp-u-plug-play/#post-345879 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/amp-u-plug-play/#post-345875 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 17:37:06 +0000
Good suggestion about the computer speakers, I do have one sitting in front of me and that's what I'm playing the backing tracks and lesson discs on.

The reason I suggest that is that I am going on the assumption that you have computer speakers at work, or could have them at work for your/a computer? Many computer speakers are great these days... and the combination of the Vox Amplug and a decent set of computer speakers would blow away the sound you would get from the "ampuplugandplay".

Then, you would have a tiny headphone amp you can carry with you in your case. I really with the jack folded against the body of the amp... it is tiny already, but that would make it small enough to carry in your pocket. The jack sticking out at a right angle makes it bigger than it needs to be.

I have used computer speakers in the past plugged into the Vox Amplug and really, it sounds great. Actually, it sounds just as good as my little Marshall 15 watt amp.

There are a couple of videos on YouTube of an Amplug being used this way... they mostly use the Amplug Metal... but you get an idea of the sound that is possible.

the tones are what you get. not fantastic, but hey, it works and you can play anywhere.]]> Opinions and Polls dogbite https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/amp-u-plug-play/#post-345869 https://guitarnoise.forum/opinions-and-polls/amp-u-plug-play/#post-38195 Thu, 07 Jan 2010 11:31:53 +0000 http://www.ampuplugnplay.com/ I'm in kind of a unique position where I can bring my guitar to work and I'd like to use a small amp when I play. I don't want to drag anything around, and I can't play very loud in my workplace but I'd like to be able to practice with some sort of amp instead of what I'm doing now, just playing an un-amplified strat.

I was looking at the Vox mini amps also but it looks like you have to use headphones with those and that's not something I can do at work.

Love the website by the way, tons of valuable info for a beginner especially and you can spend hours searching on here.
