Product Information

Supplied from the DC IN 5 V port Current Draw (While charging) 350 mA Size and Weight (Transmitter (WL-T)) Width 87 mm The sound of the Donner Bass Guitar Headphone Amp is based on Ampeg SVT. So if you’re familiar with that amp and want something to emulate it for your ears, take a look at this. Best features and specs Some headphone amplifiers have gain switches. A gain switch is used to boost the amplification level and can be adjusted to the impedance of the headphones being used. Higher-impedance headphones can sometimes benefit from a higher gain setting. The gain switch can also act as an extra level of volume control. Impedance measures the electrical resistance of a driver, and more resistance requires more power to get the driver to function. An amplifier brings more power to the driver, which allows those with more resistance (higher impedance) to operate at a higher efficacy.

Practicing bass guitar at home without any sort of amplification just doesn’t feel the same! But getting those hours of practice in without annoying your family members or neighbors means playing through a normal amp isn’t an option either. Yes, but you need to buy the model that’s made for the bass specifically which is the amplug bass range. What does a Vox amPlug do?

Pros Valeton Rushead Max Bass is a great choice for someone who is looking for an intuitive, affordable, and versatile headphone bass amp that has plenty of built-in effects to fire up inspiration.So what's it doing on this list, you might ask. Two words for you: sound quality. It's very difficult indeed to fault the way Hugo 2 converts and delivers your digital audio files. And not just sparklingly high res ones, but lower-quality files, too – whatever you feed it, Hugo 2 serves up a detailed, dynamic and punchy performance. All Star Wars themed puns aside, the Orange OB1 is a really cool amp. It allows you to essentially get the tone of both a bass amp and a guitar amp, as inspired by the whole ‘bi-amp’ thing (i.e. running your bass through two amps). This aside, the clean sound on its own is really good; giving you plenty of warm, low-end punch and clarity. Besides what everyone has to say about this amp, we don’t have much else to say ourselves. Again, we like the idea of having rhythmic loops to help out when needed, so if that’s for you, take a look at this. Bottomline

A Vox amPlug is a headphone amplifier that allows you to practice your guitar or bass without disturbing others. It plugs directly into your instrument and has a headphone output for private listening. Does the Vox amPlug work without headphones?
