In terms of individual models, the "Clean" model does what it says, so not a whole lot to say. The green channel is pure clean, the orange channel is a bluesier/jazzier twin amp sound, and the red channel can give you some dirty blues tones with the gain maxed-out. The "Classic Rock" model competently does three channels of various 70's-style overdrive (or I suppose 90's-style too, since grunge was similar to the 70's -- so you get two decades for the price of one!). The AC30 is a version of the original 60's British invasion sound, although I've never owned a full AC30 to say how accurate it is -- but I definitely like the sound with the gain maxed-out. You can also get some surprisingly beautiful tones out of the AC30 using the orange tremolo channel with no gain, and with the chorus effect setting on low. I bought the AC30 for the overdrive sound, but did not expect getting such other beautiful tones out of something for $40!
One thing I will stress is that headphone type matters a lot. Use the wrong headphones (in-ear or on-ear), and these things are simply toys. Use the correct headphones (over-the-ear, and preferably "closed"), and they are surprisingly good little practice amps. For guitar practicing, I use 80-Ohm Beyerdynamic DT770 PROs, which I highly recommend. As a side note, I'd also recommend a one-time investment in a AAA-battery charger, to save in the long run.
Another tip regarding hum, which I've seen others mention -- I also have a low hum on the Clean & Classic Rock models when using the higher-gain red channel (but not the other channels), although this is always with the guitar volume pot at 100% w/treble bleed. The AC30's red channel is not higher gain, so it does not have this issue. In any case, I found that simply rolling down the guitar volume pot a little (like 10% or whatever is required to squelch your treble bleed) eliminates the hum. In any case, it's really only a factor when playing clean, and treble bleed is usually only desired with distortion anyway. If you have separate pickup volume pots like me -- rather than rolling down the master volume, I simply roll down the neck pickup volume 10% or so (since I mostly use that pickup when playing clean), and keep the bridge pickup volume at 100% w/treble bleed, which I mostly use with high gain anyway. Plus, you can't hear the hum when playing anyway, so not that big of a deal. At the end of the day, it's a practice amp, not a performance amp -- but a darn good practice amp for the money!
Even though the VOX cost more than the Danelectro, its compactness, quality, and more versatile sound was well worth the extra money. I have a 40-watt modeling amp I practice on at home. But if I want to take my guitar somewhere without lugging that amp around and need to practice quietly, the VOX amPlug 2 fits the bill perfectly. It is roughly the size of a large matchbox so you can easily carry it around in your case or even your pocket. The amp's 1/4" plug goes directly into your guitar and rotates 180° in 45° increments. The output on my guitar is on the bottom edge so I plug the amp in and rotate the amp until it locks at an angle flush with the edge of the guitar. The power button and the 3.5mm headphone input are on opposites side of the amp. The FX button is on the top/outside along with the 3.5mm Aux input and the gain, tone, and volume dials. This layout makes it easy to learn to adjust the amp without having to look at it.
I typically play everything from the blues to classic, modern, and hard rock. I didn't get to demo the different amPlug 2 models in person but from reviewing the various models on YouTube it sounded like the Classic Rock model was versatile and met my overall needs the best. I'm able to get everything from a nice clean sound to a crunchier rhythm sound to a hotter lead sound out of it in addition to a 3-level adjustable chorus, delay, or reverb effect. As long as you don't have unrealistic expectations for a headphone amp, I think you'll be happy with it. I am.
On a side note, if you don't already have one, I recommend also buying a 3.5mm extension cable so you can connect your cell phone's audio output to the amp's Aux input and play along. I had already purchased the iXCC 3-Ft Tangle-Free Male to Male 3.5mm Auxiliary Cable off of Amazon and it has worked well for me. And if you're in the market for a decent pair of inexpensive earbuds, the Panasonic RP-TCM125-K have worked well for me over the years. (Mom Disclaimer: Just don't play too long or too loudly with earbuds/headphones or you'll permanently damage your hearing.)

Muy buena reconstitucion del sonido
honestly I didn't expect much from this product, even being a vox. I didn't think a pocket sized amp would deliver as it does.
the sound is great. there is white noise/fuzz, but that was something I expected and really don't have a problem with. the effects are lovely, and it sounds just as good with no effects used.
the amp is tiny - like, not even the size of a pack of cigarettes, so so portable.
what I don't love about it is 1) it is battery powered. a USB rechargeable version of this amp would be a welcome upgrade. and 2) it does admittedly seem a bit fragile. this isn't a deal-breaker, but I don't plug directly into my guitar. I use a 10 ft extension cord so I don't bump the amp while playing or have any accidental damage happen.
definitely take the layout of your guitar into account with this. while the plug is flexible and can be positioned in many ways, I'm glad I thought to buy an extension cord. I play a mustang, and this plugs in not to the side of the body but the front. that is noteworthy imo.
I love the small size and portable nature. the sound is amazing for something so small. it's great for noodling around late at night or in general if you don't live alone and would prefer not to be heard.
given the potential fragility in this amp, some sort of storage box or pouch would be appreciated. I just use a fairly sturdy cardboard jewelry box of the right length and depth for this amp and store it that way to prevent any damage.
all in all, it exceeds expectations. and for the price, it's well worth it, and the flaws in sturdiness can be overlooked.
The power and loudness for that matter surprised me. Did not expect this from a mini amp.
This is helpful when on the go as its pretty portable and saves a lot of space and even better to keep the sound only to yourself or play in the middle of the night. You can also hook this up to a portable speaker and play equally well if you need a replacement for the regular amp.
Depuis des années je rêvais de m'entrainer à la maison sans déranger tous mes voisins mais aussi de trouver un moyen de pouvoir jouer tranquille à la plage, en vacance ou un beau jour d'été => ET pour cela, j'ai trouvé ce magnifique petit engin, un ampug pas cher et bien pratique
L'autonomie est correcte, avec deux piles AAA neuves, on peut espérer une dizaine d'heure de jeu, sans pousser le son au taquet.
Les 3 effets supplémentaires sont vraiment tops, mais un petit bouton potard pour pouvoir modifier la puissance aurait été une bonne chose
Les sonorités sont bonnes par rapport à la taille et au prix du produit. .
Il y a aussi une entrée Aux, pour pouvoir y brancher un lecteur mp3 ou autres, pour jouer sur un backing track.
Attention , le boitier est en plastique et il est plutoit fragile.
Au final, c'est un très bon investissement pour le voyage et/ou les exercices silencieux, mais il ne faut pas lui demander de sonner comme un vrais ampli.
Petit conseil perso, utilisez un casque, un vrai et pas des écouteurs
Très bon rapport qualité prix, je recommande fortement cette petite bête.
