Vox - AP-BM amPlug Brian May Guitar Headphone Amplifier

Product Information

With the amPlug Brian May guitar headphone amplifier, you can get the legendary guitarist’s classic tone anytime, anywhere - through any set of standard headphones. I was absolutely blown away by the sound it produced. I'm a Vox AC30 player myself, and use it (Brian May style) in combination with a treble booster. The sound coming out of this little thing almost nails the tones I can produce with the real thing. However, more neighbor-friendly. Of course, it does not give the same dynamics as a real amp with speakers. But for practice purposes it is really good. I feel for this edition because of the inclusion of the treble booster, which I like. Three additional onboard effects (which can be used in conjunction with treble booster) - Stereo delay with tap tempo, phaser and chorus The amPlug’s phaser effect also allows you to recreate Brian’s swirling live sound - transporting you onto the Wembley stage, circa 1985, from the comfort of your own home. As well as helping you achieve the unique tone of Brian May, his new signature range of Vox products will also help you look the part.

With eye-catching red casing the MV50 Brian May provides a visual nod to his legendary ‘Red Special’ guitar. Developed by Vox in collaboration with Brian May, the amPlug’s AC30 + Treble Booster setting is quite literally “the Brian May tone in the palm of your hand”. Designed to recreate the unique sound of Brian’s Red Special and cranked AC30 signal chain (and not to forget the sixpence), our mission with this very special edition of the amPlug was to make Brian’s instantly recognizable tone accessible to all. The other features, like the build in effects and drum-beats are rather useful, and provide you with some great stuff to practice to. In July of 1962, two young lads from Liverpool would acquire their very first Vox amplifiers, an AC15 Twin and a Top Boost equipped AC30 Twin. Later that year, the group would emerge from the studio with a song called “Love Me Do” and change the world of popular music forever, the unforgettable sound of their jangling guitars becoming the standard for great guitar tone for decades. This song, and the frenzy that was to follow this young group in the months to come, would result in Vox becoming the most sought after guitar amplifier in the world.For customers in outlying areas of the country, the price of the Extended Warranty may be marginally higher, due to the potential for higher collection and redelivery transport costs. However, the Gear4music extended warranty scheme provides an enhanced service, and is designed to offer a higher level of protection than many 'free' warranties offered by some retailers and manufacturers. The amPlug’s phaser effect also allows you to recreate Brian’s swirling live sound - transporting you onto the Wembley stage, circa 1985, from the comfort of your own home! With a refined control panel featuring gain, tone and volume controls, the MV50 also features an EQ switch that can be toggled from flat (perfect for larger cabs) to deep (ideal for getting a deeper tone even from a smaller cab). Brian May’s signature amPlug and MV50 have been designed as a nod to his iconic ‘Red Special’ guitar.

A rich chorus completes the trio of on-board effects, designed carefully to make Brian May’s iconic sounds available to all guitarists. You should get an instant answer on whether your application has been successful, though in some rare cases Klarna or V12 may need to look at the application in more detail.
