I think you will get a lot more enjoyment using something that at least has some basic ambient effects and a little stereo chorus for a headphone setup. I can see your point. Interesting that the Vox Amplug Twin model has chorus.

Thanks for the suggestions. For me the v-amp, pod or small amp (Fender Mustang I) and other similiar devices have the disadvantages of size and the necessity to plug in to a separate device as well as cost. Then you aren't mobile and have to manage the headphone cord as well as the guitar cord. I know you could go bluetooth on the headphones but how complex and expensive do you want to get? I had an Amplitube iRig with the software on my iPhone which was pretty cool but still needed the phone, iRig, cord from the guitar to the iRig and from the iPhone to my headphones. Aaaaggghh. Too much cord spaghetti for me. Fun if you want to play with the interface to make tweaks to the sound. Me? I just want to play my guitar. I love the simplicity of the device (Amplug, Monoprice clone, Bravo Headplug) plugged into the guitar and 1 cord to my headphones. Simple, mobile, cheap. Any idea if the Monoprice clone is the same as the Vox Amplug for half the price? How is battery life? Any experience with the Bravo Audio Headplug? Any other small simple cheap suggestions?

Yep, cheap is one of my main criteria. Small and light is another. How's the battery life? I'm wondering if the Monoprice version is made in the same plant as the Vox for half the cost.

I'm looking for an inexpensive headphone amp so I can practice without disturbing the family. The two I'm looking at are both $20 or less and are: 1. The Monoprice clone of a Vox amplug. http://www.monoprice.com/products/su...08&cp_id=10860 2. The Bravo Audio Headplug ($20 on Amazon.com) http://bravoaudio.com/headplug.html The Monoprice amplug clone is available in Clean or two OD versions and has Volume, Tone and Gain controls but uses AAA batteries. The Bravo has no controls but has a rechargeable Lithium Ion battery that charges with a usb cable. Does anybody have any experience with these? Or any other comparably priced recommendations? I'm leaning toward the Bravo so I don't need to mess with batteries. What am I giving up in sound quality if anything?

Sorry but the budgie is more impressive. Especially on Bass. What with the weight difference not to mention wings and feathers and all.

Here's another option: http://chicago.craigslist.org/sox/msg/2845897982.html

I'm open to suggestions. Specifically I'm looking to go from a 2x12 to a single and from 50 watts down to 10 to 20. Which Laney is that? I like the LC-30 or VC-30, both 30 watt 1x12 combos. There are also 15 watt 1x10 versions. http://www.laney.co.uk/show_type.php?tid=8 http://www.laney.co.uk/show_prod.php?prod=vc30-112 http://www.ebay.com/itm/LANEY-VC15-110-15-WATT-TUBE-AMPLIFIER-COMBO-NEW-/280747432436?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item415dd9d9f4 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Laney-CUB-All-TUBE-Series-CUB-12R-15-Watt-1x12-Guitar-Combo-Amplifier-Amp-NICE-/220949922863?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3371a4442f Look around, there was a LC30 on the chicago craigslist for $280 for a couple weeks just recently. They seem to go fairly cheap on CL when they come up. BTW, Peavey Classic 30's are a Vox AC30 based design. Any of the 2 x el84 1x12 combos like the Blackheart Handsome Devil have some Vox in 'em. Put a Celestion Greenback in a Blues Junior and you get close too.

Personally I like the AC15CC1 series a little better than the current new AC15C1. A little better build quality, more tonal options with the old control panel. They're still not lightweights though. There are some good options from other makers like Laney that make Vox type amps that might be a better value and a little lighter and more compact.
