Jamming until the wee small hours of the morning is one of the guitar players favourite hobbies but believe it or not the neighbours don’t take too kindly to having to put up with your take on Sweet Child Of Mine in the middle of the night. So what you need is to find a way where you can still practice your guitar riffs whenever you see fit without the folks next door calling the Old Bill. This terrific little gadget from Vox allows you just that.

The Vox amPlug is a cool little amp that plugs into your guitar and gives you all the benefits that your full-size amp gives you, only through a set of headphones and the best part is, it fits right into the palm of your hand so you can take absolutely anywhere. Two AAA batteries will give you around about 15 hours a battery life so you don’t have to worry about running out of charge mid-jam either.The Vox amPlug comes in three different sound styles, the VOX AC30, Classic Rock, and Metal which will all deliver different performance benefits depending on what kind of sounds you are into. A built in aux-in jack also gives you the chance to play along with your CD or MP3 player.

It may not give you quite the same satisfaction as belting out a big power riff that takes the roof off every house in the neighbourhood but for £30 you can’t go wrong and it may just save you a court order or two.
