Amplug 2 AC30 : Electric guitar, finally freed from its amplifier tether
I bought this small amplifier because I wanted to have something battery powered so I can take it outside and that can output to headphones so I don't wake up all my neighbors when I play at night.
It takes two AAA batteries, has a mini-jack output for headphones and a mini-jack input for a backing track. The jack for the guitar can be rotated to work well depending on the guitar or folded in altogether thus becoming quite pocketable. It also has 3 selector wheels for volume and effects, though they are on the far side of the device when plugged in so you can't really see them.
The sound is honestly quite great, I'm quite impressed. I prefer it over my larger Cube amp. The effects are useful additions and can be configured (some of them can definitely get too strong for my taste, but hey, it goes to 11).
The only downside is its flimsy build quality. It's cheap plastic and it feels like it's gonna break easily. Especially on Telecaster-style guitars where the amp sticks out of the body, this feels somewhat precarious. The control wheels are very easy going and it is a bit too easy to accidentally change the settings. The UI with overloading the buttons with functions is a tad unintuitive. But I guess they had to save somewhere given the price so this feels entirely acceptable to me.
