Vox AmPlug 3 Modern Bass

I use it mostly to play along with songs through my iPhone, practice an exercise book and practrice songs that I play in a band and for future gigs.

It sounds OK, not great, but it's 10x better than playing without an amp at all. The hi-gain mode is great if you love playing metal or anything else in that style, but since that's not really what I'm playing I sadly can't use it very often, but that mode sounds really awesome. It has some cool effects built in, which are fun to play around with for a while but then it turned into a practice tool for me again because playing through a real amp is just way more fun and inspiring.

The controls are intuitive, it's easy to set up, like, you'll probably just find the one sound you like and it's gonna be like that for a long time. I like to play it in clean mode with no effects, gain at 6-7, tone at 5 and volume to match my environment.

It's so tiny it fits in my pocket, and even though it play swing around your instrument's plug while you're playing, I've never accidentally touched the buttons or knobs while playing so it's rigid enough that I don't worry about that.

Like the title says, fun little tool if you want to play silently and playing without an amp just isn't making you want to play at all.

Well, it is the second part of Vox Amplug Bass 3. If you want to get the full range of Features that these portable Amps can give - you have to buy both. They have Overdrive in Basic model and Distortion here. And very compressed (and a little bit chorused) sound on Clean Channel.
I like, that actually distorted Channel continues startting gain of Clean - it sounds with Gain off almost the same as Clean Channel with Gain fully On.
Ambients and drums are the same as in Basic Bass 3 model, however, I find Chorus more clear than in other model.
So the other effects - clearer, more adjustable than on Basic Bass 3, but ... without Clean Sound, so that you should turn ambients to 0 if they start to annoy you - and they will :)
Less friendly for external pedals - I could not achieve normal sound with Chorus or Preamp connected - just because they are already in and there is no pure clean Channel (that's why you need Basic Model), but with Metal Distortion, Bassballs or Phaser it combines pretty interesting.
And it is still Vox - stylish, portable, and powerfull. Who knows, maybe someday they will produce 1 in All model (like it does Blacklstar), but now we've got what they've got.
But it is still great, because it is Vox!
