General

The surprisingly compact MV50 amplifier heads by VOX come in three different varieties. This affordable AC model delivers a sparkling British sound and 50 watts of power. The preamp was based on the innovative NuTube technology by Korg and the Class-D power amp was designed especially for this series. The result is a robust sound with lots of headroom, while still maintaining silence and stability where needed. As well as the unmistakable design, there's a handy VU meter on the front and three stylish chicken-head knobs for ultimate control at your fingertips.

MV50: handy, complete, and compatible

The EQ switch on this MV50 amp was specially designed so that this practical amp head could be used with both large and small speaker cabinets. The 'deep' setting is recommended for use with a small cabinet, and 'flat' is advised for use with larger cabinets. The BC108 and BC112 cabinets from the Black Cab series are ideal in combination with the MV50 amp heads. As well as an instrument input and an output for the speaker cabinet, this VOX amp head also features a line output for a set of headphones or an interface. Last but not least, the MV50 comes complete with a 19V DC adapter.

VOX MV50 AC tube guitar amp head

Ben verbaasd en verrast wat een aanwinst de VOX MV50 AC in mijn collectie is. Naast mijn VOX AC30 en VOX Conqueror ben ik erg tevreden met de VOX MV50 AC aangesloten op een VOX AC30 cabinet (die ik extra heb zonder AMP hierin) Wat een geluid als ik in combinatie speel met de VOX MV50 AC en de VOX Conqueror via mijn multi chorus!!

Dit is een bijzonder machientje. Enorm veel power, een echt Vox-geluid. Mooie gain - klinkt fantastisch met een tube screamer er voor. De nutube is geen echter buizen sound, maar benadert dat best aardig. Alleen over de toonregeling ben ik minder te spreken. Met mijn cabinet klinkt ie erg schel. met de zeer beperkte toonregeling krijg ik dat ook niet lekker bijgeregeld. Kortom een een superklein apparaat wat je echt verbaast qua power en sound, met een te beperkte toonregeling.....

Ik heb de mv50 clean eerst besteld maar vond het geluid niet wat ik had gehoopt. Dus terug gestuurd en om laten ruilen voor de ac versie. Zelf heb ik een AC30 maar vindt die met 27 kg veel te zwaar om wekelijks naar repetities mee te nemen. Deze kleine amp is dan een super alternatief om ook met pedalen niet opeens een heel ander geluid te krijgen. Die kleine mv50 heeft me echt verbaasd. Ook thuis makkeijker te gebruiken dan het zware geweld van 2 twaalf inch speakers.
Zelfs met een oude marshall park speaker klinkt het al top. Super herkenbaar ac30 geluid met een gain knop om je vingers mee af te likken. Heerlike klank.
Verwacht geen buizen klank. Ik vindt buizen op een dynaische manier anders reageren, bijv. Met fulltone 2. Dat is hier anders.

Maar vergis je niet in dit kleine monster. Ik ga dit gewoon meenemen naar optredens met backing line en kan dan goed m'n eigen tone vinden. Dat is met wisselemde tops anders lastiger.

Enkel nog via hoofdtelefoon bespeeld met een Brian May Red Special, Ibanez semi acoustic en Line6 Variax.

Het is een geweldig "opdondertje" dat met de toonknop rond 09:00 hr meer op een echte AC30 gaat "lijken".

Nog even testen met een treblebooster en 12" speaker als iedereen het huis uit is, dan we weten weer meer !(het is echt LUID)

Als je niet al te kieskeurig bent en je kiest voor een "VOX-geluid" is dit volgens mij een aanrader die ENORM minder kost dan het origineel met lampen, maar waar je véél meerdere stijlen mee kunt spelen

One is called the Piranha Micro Head, a 20W hybrid top that can practically fit into your jacket pocket. The other is the Guitar Subwoofer, a cabinet with an 18" speaker and 300 watts of power to beef up the low end. Together, they're a great pair.
