Brian May and Vox join forces to bring iconic tone to your headphones

One of the most iconic guitar tones in rock history is now available to everyone in the form of a headphone amplifier designed and developed in collaboration with Vox and Brian May.

"I want people to be able to bring the sounds you make at a stadium concert into their living room, and this does that. I hope they find it inspiring." -Brian May

With the amPlug Brian May headphone amplifier, you can get the legendary guitarist's classic tone anytime, anywhere, through any standard set of headphones.

Developed by Vox in collaboration with Brian May, the amPlug's AC30+ Treble Booster setting is literally "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 forgetting the "coin"), our mission with this very special version of the amPlug was to make Brian's instantly recognizable tone accessible to everyone.

But the amPlug Brian May goes beyond intonation. You can sing along to classic tracks in your headphones with a variety of backing rhythms, including the “We Will Rock You” beat and clap.

The tap-tempo "Brighton Rock" stereo delay setting lets you get lost in the sound like you're in a wall of AC30s, evoking the call-and-response work of Brian May on songs like "Brighton Rock" and "Now I'm Here."

amPlug's phaser effect also lets you recreate Brian's looped live performance sound, transporting you from the comfort of your own home to the Wembley stage circa 1985.

A rich chorus complements a trio of carefully designed onboard effects to make Brian May's iconic sounds accessible to all guitarists.

All you need to do is connect the amPlug to your guitar via its built-in jack, plug in a standard set of headphones, and you're ready to rock.

Using 2x AAA batteries, the amPlug Brian May has a battery life of up to 15 hours, so you can play all night long.
