AmPlug2 FLY Guitar : Lightly armoured yet packed with features and tonal munitions

4 years ago

Ideal for situations that require discrete/silent playing and for trips on which you can bring your quitar but cannot take your amp as well.

Pro's:

- (chorus, delay en reverb) x (clean, crunch en lead); lots of sounds

- Small

- Design

- 6,3 hinge plug

Con:

- small control buttons/dials

- Especially the dials, I treat them very gently as I suspect them to be somewhat vulnerable.

- Fits my Strat, Ibanez SA but on my SC, Ibanez RT, it kinda "hangs" down under making it somewhat hard to operate the buttons

- Not necessarily "affordable"

- Switching between clean, crunch en lead requires two hand opertion when the amplug is in the guitar (otherwise it turns around the plug socket).

- A more solid casing/housing would be according its price (delrin, alumium). Same for control buttons and controls; more rugged/durable parts (materials) would be appreciated.

Overall a positive verdict with some remarks
