VOX amPlug2 Metal (Clearance) Headphone Amps

VOX amPlug 2 Metal Headphone Guitar Amplifier

Plug in and shred anywhere with the VOX amPlug 2 Metal – a palm-sized headphone amp that packs serious metal tone into a tiny footprint. Whether you're practising at home late at night, travelling, or just need a quick tone check without firing up a full amp, this device delivers. The “Metal” edition is specifically tuned for extreme high-gain US-style amp sounds: two stages of ultra-high gain plus a mid-cut circuit for aggressive, saturated tone.

It comes equipped with three selectable amp modes (within the Metal voice), Gain, Tone and Volume controls, and an FX/Mode button that gives you access to 9 pre-set effects (Chorus × 3, Delay × 3, Reverb × 3) — a rare combination of portability and versatility.

The plug itself rotates through 180° so you can attach it comfortably to your guitar whether it's laid flat in your lap, on a stand, or strapped on for practice. The ultra-compact size (just 86 × 38 × 31 mm) and ultra-light weight (~40 g without batteries) mean you can tuck it into your gig bag or guitar case and use it anytime.

Powered by two AAA batteries, it gives you up to approximately 17 hours of playtime with effects off (or about 11 hours with FX on) — more than enough for multiple practice sessions.

An AUX input allows you to plug in your phone, tablet or backing-track device so you can jam along with songs while keeping volume discreet (ideal for late-night practice or shared spaces).

In short: the amPlug 2 Metal is the ultimate portable high-gain solution for guitarists who want serious tone in a tiny box — no cab, no mic, no big amp setup required.

• Foldable plug & smart battery features: The rotating plug means you can insert it on the guitar without it sticking out awkwardly, and the auto power-off extends battery life.
