Vox Amplug
Can plugging the Vox Amplug Classic Rock to an acoustic guitar project the same distorted sound?
I saw this vox amplug in thinkgeek.com and was wondering if the sound will be the same as when you plug it to an electric guitar. I know that it wouldn’t be as good as the electric guitar but will the sound still be distorted? I only have an amplified acoustic guitar and would want it to sound distorted.
So I’m planning on buying one on eBay but need your advise first.
Thanks!
Hello there,
As I understand the Vox Amplug, they are miniature amps to run with your earphones they have no speaker and thus no sound. There is an external speaker cab you can plug the Amplug into to hear the sound.
This is just like any other of the minature Battery Powered amps. Pretty much a toy. Cute, but no practical in my opinion.
The distortion in an electric guitar comes from mostly a distortion pedal and secondarily from overdriving your speakers. To get that sound, you need a distortion pedal and you need a amp powerful enough to overdrive your speakers (or use an overdrive pedal). I do not think you can run a distortion pedal through the Amplug. And as for the external speaker cab available to go with the Amplug, it has a 3 inch speaker. You simply are not going to get a good distortion from that speaker.
I assume you have an acoustic/electrid guitar or have added a pickup to an acoustic guitar. You are not going to get the high gain distortion from that. The electric guitar uses a totally different type of pickup. If you want a good distortion sound, you are going to need a electric guitar, a good amp and good speakers.
It’s your money, but I think you are wasting it on the Amplug.
Later,
