Sir Brian May and Vox join forces to bring iconic tone to your headphones
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.
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 recognisable tone accessible to all.
But the amPlug Brian May goes further than delivering on tone. Featuring a range of backing
rhythms, including the “We Will Rock You” stomps and claps, you can jam along to classic
tracks in your headphones.
A “Brighton Rock” stereo delay setting, with tap tempo, allows you to get lost in a wall of AC30s,
channeling Brian May’s call-and-response work on songs such as “Brighton Rock” and “Now I’m
Here”.
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.
A rich chorus completes the trio of on-board effects, designed carefully to make Brian May’s
iconic sounds available to all guitarists.
All you need to do is connect the amPlug to your guitar via its built-in jack, and plug in a
standard set of headphones, and you’re ready to rock.
