Shred in the Silence of Your Own Home

There are millions of gadgets for practicing guitar. Now there is another one, the Amplug from Vox.



Basically, for $70, you plug your headphones into this device, and then plug the device into your electric guitar. You can shred like a circus freak in the silence of your own home. It comes in 3 flavors: classic rock, AC30, and metal.



Or you can place a mic in a trash pail and taking your guitar up two flights of stairs or amp a hacked Playskool toy and wake up every pre-schooler in your apartment complex again.
