Vox amPlug 3 Modern Bass Headphone Bass Amp
The Vox amPlug 3 Modern Bass is a headphone bass amp built for today's sounds: a clear, bright clean, then an edgy high-gain distortion. It's aimed at rock, metal and fusion bassists who want to rehearse their aggressive parts without hauling out the amp.
What sets it apart
- Channel 1 clear and bright for slap and pick playing
- Channel 2 with an edgy high-gain distortion
- Stereo chorus, delay and reverb
- Metal, funk and fusion rhythms, plus a metronome
- AUX jack for a backing track
- Two AAA batteries, 40 g
Two channels for modern bass
The first channel stays clear and bright, with the definition fast notes need. The second pushes a high-gain distortion with bite, designed for heavy styles. Vox presents it as the contemporary choice in the series, next to the more classic amPlug 3 Bass.
The right rhythm to rehearse with
The nine patterns cover rock, blues, two pop variations, metal, funk, fusion and jazz, plus a metronome. Tempo runs from 40 to 240 BPM and is set by tapping TAP.
If channel 2 gets too wild, Vox reminds you to watch the volume: some noise and feedback can appear depending on your settings.

Frequently asked questions

- Can I connect Bluetooth earbuds?
