  • Really good practice amps for under US$50!
Style: Headphone Amplifier
I own this Blackstar Amplug2, plus three of the Vox models. Since most of the features are the same as Vox's, I've simply cut-and-pasted my review of the three Vox's below. As mentioned briefly in the review below, the Blackstar is most similar to the Vox "Classic Rock". If you're looking for differences with the Vox CR, it's mainly a matter of the gain/distortion, as playing clean is largely the same. Even though I joke in the review below about the 70's and 90's decades as being the same, it's probably the subtle differences in those decades' sounds that separate the Blackstar and the Vox CR. The Vox CR emulates the 70's hard rock sound, while this Blackstar takes the 70's hard rock sound and adds that 90's emphasis on the heavier low-end. Not Nu Metal 90's (this is not really a metal amp, like the Vox Metal), but more like Soundgarden 90's. Some of the reviews are a bit misleading -- placing a value judgement on the type of distortion? Buying an amp that is specific to hard rock, and then complaining that it doesn't sound like an amp built specifically for blues? Distortion preference is just that -- a preference, and not qualitative. Also, the effects may be digital, but the actual amp channels and gain features are analog circuits, according to Vox's own website (and the Blackstar/Vox are the same product). Regarding the Amplug2's in general, this is my review of the Vox models I own, much of which applies to the Blackstar: I bought the "Clean", "AC30", and "Classic Rock" versions (I also own the Blackstar version of the amplug2, which isn't as well known, but just as good). All versions are really good for their size and price point. The effects are the same for each model and surprisingly decent (chorus, delay, reverb). Note that you can only do one of the three effects at a time, although you can combine one of the effects with gain/distortion. The AC30 has one additional effect -- tremolo -- which is actually enabled by switching channels (not the effects button), so you can simultaneously do tremolo and one of the other three effects and gain/distortion. Each of the three effects has three strength levels -- some online videos/blogs mistaking state that the effects are simply on/off (they clearly didn't read the instructions) when in fact they each have three strength levels. The AC30's tremolo has two levels (or three, if you count "off" as a level), which again is controlled by switching channels. In terms of individual models, the "Clean" model does what it says, so not a whole lot to say. The green channel is pure clean, the orange channel is a bluesier/jazzier twin amp sound, and the red channel can give you some dirty blues tones with the gain maxed-out. The "Classic Rock" model competently does three channels of various 70's-style overdrive (or I suppose 90's-style too, since grunge was similar to the 70's -- so you get two decades for the price of one!). The AC30 is a version of the original 60's British invasion sound, although I've never owned a full AC30 to say how accurate it is -- but I definitely like the sound with the gain maxed-out. You can also get some surprisingly beautiful tones out of the AC30 using the orange tremolo channel with no gain, and with the chorus effect setting on low. I bought the AC30 for the overdrive sound, but did not expect getting such other beautiful tones out of something for $40! One thing I will stress is that headphone type matters a lot. Use the wrong headphones (in-ear or on-ear), and these things are simply toys. Use the correct headphones (over-the-ear, and preferably "closed"), and they are surprisingly good little practice amps. For guitar practicing, I use 80-Ohm Beyerdynamic DT770 PROs, which I highly recommend. As a side note, I'd also recommend a one-time investment in a AAA-battery charger, to save in the long run. Another tip regarding hum, which I've seen others mention -- I also have a low hum on the Clean & Classic Rock models when using the higher-gain red channel (but not the other channels), although this is always with the guitar volume pot at 100% w/treble bleed. The AC30's red channel is not higher gain, so it does not have this issue. In any case, I found that simply rolling down the guitar volume pot a little (like 10% or whatever is required to squelch your treble bleed) eliminates the hum. In any case, it's really only a factor when playing clean, and treble bleed is usually only desired with distortion anyway. If you have separate pickup volume pots like me -- rather than rolling down the master volume, I simply roll down the neck pickup volume 10% or so (since I mostly use that pickup when playing clean), and keep the bridge pickup volume at 100% w/treble bleed, which I mostly use with high gain anyway. Plus, you can't hear the hum when playing anyway, so not that big of a deal. At the end of the day, it's a practice amp, not a performance amp -- but a darn good practice amp for the money! ... show more

  • Powerful like a box of matches
Style: Headphone Amplifier
I'm currently in a situation where I don't have access to a guitar amp, and needed something portable and quiet, and this fit the bill. I've been using it daily for about 3 weeks now and it's been incredible. The gain sounds great. The volume is plenty loud for my studio headphones, (I usually have it set on 3/10). The ISF feature I don't notice a whole lot of difference but I don't use it much. The chorus isn't bad but it's a little too wet fir my test. But the delay and reverb are phenomenal. Battery still hasn't died with 3 weeks of regular use, would 10/10 recommend. Good job blackstar!! ... show more

  • Fulfills its goals as a product
Style: Headphone Amplifier
The TL;DR is that this thing is great. My review is qualified by my 20 years It's affordable, it's portable, long battery life, 3 modes, easy to use and dial in a solid enough tone. The tones are pretty great reproductions, all things considered for 50 bucks. Of course they don't sound like a real amp...but you also can't take a 60 pound amp on a weekend trip. Yes, the effects suck. This is true of any built in-effects. But if you're trying to jam on Boston from your hotel room, the chorus will work. Likewise the reverb or delay works enough if you want to sit there and zone out shoegaze style. 4 stars because it does what it sets out to do and does it great. For it to earn 5 stars it would need to push the envelope a bit more, and stand out from it's Vox counterparts. I would absolutely buy again. ... show more

  • Great for practicing quietly anywhere
Style: Headphone Amplifier
This item is great for rocking out with headphones. Keeps it quiet everywhere but ypur own ears. It can also be a "practice amp" if u want to hook it to a bluetooth speaker via a 3.5 to 3.5 audio cable. Have done this a few times as well. Works great!

  • It already broke! So cheap
Style: Headphone Amplifier
Sounds great considering it’s digital but it broke within a month of having it. It’s made so cheaply it should cost ten dollars the way they made it. I hope the manufacturer can do something to fix this because it’s so overpriced and I’ve been a Blackstar fan for a while.

  • Does the job
Style: Headphone Amplifier
Doesn’t sound the greatest, but I didn’t expect it to. I also didn’t expect it to be so cheesy- for $49. Cheap plastic, if you banged it, it would be toast. So, I’m satisfied, but I think it’s worth more like $29. It does what it's supposed to do, but don't expect anything fantastic. Also, I paid extra to get it quickly. It did not come quickly as promised. I contacted amazon support. They told me it was 'lost in transit', so they told me they would refund. When I went to the order summary, it said 'customer rejected delivery' or something like that, which I did not do. I decided to drive to Guitar Center and pick one up instead of reordering from amazon. Left a bad taste. ... show more
