Amazing little headphone amp for the price

BCamp 19.01.2021

I purchased both the Metal and the Classic Rock version of the HB Rockplug, and they compliment each other very well.

This metal version has a good variety of tones. With the gain knob, you can range from crunchy overdrive/fuzz all the way through filthy metal shredding distortion. There are virtually no cleans, but that's not why you buy this! The tone knob does a good job coloring the sound, and the volume keeps you from blowing your ears off.

The aux input makes it easy to connect to your phone/laptop in case you want to play along with a track in the same set of headphones (be aware though, the 1/8" male-to-male cable they provide is laughably short and not usable). The Rockplug comes with a USB cable for charging, which is much easier than always replacing batteries in some other brands' models.

The casing itself is plastic and not super sturdy. The on-off switch on mine is a bit funky and doesn't quite click into place, but for £11 I don't expect it to be perfect.

Absolutely worth the price! Great stuff HB!

Good one for beginner

Sandwraith 05.02.2022

I've bought both Harley Benton rockplugs and VOX Amplug 2 Lead, and this one is my favorite =) The device hasn't clean sound, but its' metal sound is good enough: harder than Classic Rock and more variable with tone than VOX.
It could be the best item if it had effects as VOX. But for its' price I think it's 5 Hetfields of 5.
P.s. my instance has a poorly functioning power button.

Cost nothing, works fine

kubass666 08.01.2023

I am using it when I'd like to practice after 11pm with high quality Bayerdynamics headphones.
With low gain setting I get quite nice tone so Idon't feel any frustration any harsh sounds

Pros:
* cost nothing
* sounds good
* good battery life
* line in (but... see cons)

Cons:
* I don't like the way when line in input is NOT parallel with headphones output. So no matter how you position the unit one cable is always sticking out somehow
* line in sounds strange. I have almost feeling like line in is before CAB sim so output music or beats sounds strange. I also have problem to align volume

Verdict: if you are not planning to use line in often this may be great unit for you

Sounds punchy and crunchy! Great piece of kit. Good quality, well packaged and arrived promptly. I've now bought a few bits from Thomann and remain impressed with all of them. Great company, great staff and great products.
