A foldable plug mechanism that rotates 180 degrees and an auto power-off function are additional features that contribute significantly to improved convenience and ease of use. I bet there are loads of people out there using this amp with no idea of the additional settings and options available to them.

Vox Bass Amps offer a great way to practice whether it's with a Vox bass headphone amp like the Amplug 2 Bass or a bass practice amp like the Mini Superbeetle Bass, that signature Vox tone is always present. When I think about a serious bass guitar headphone amp, I think Palmer Pocket Amp Bass, or even the Darkglass Element (if money isn’t an issue).

With that in mind, there are still plenty of affordable solutions out there that allow you to play your bass while amplified. If you do a lot of solo work and high-gain riffs, and you want to switch between sounds while you're playing?

This means it does take a little longer to move between them than on the Vox and can be annoying if you go past one and have to go through them all again. If that wasn’t the case it would have been the best gift since sliced bread (most bass players like Darkglass).

I have played bass for quite some time with my brilliant Fender J, but my housing situation don't allow me to use an amplifier. I use the Vox at home because the actual amp annoys my wife, but yes, it’s flimsy…you have to be careful not to bend it the wrong direction. If you are primarily looking for a nice warm, clean tone then the Vox sounds fantastic for such a small bit of kit. Of course, there are plenty of small combo amps and practice amps on the market which give you great sounds at lower volumes and without taking up too much space.
