Vox MV50 amp heads - MusicRadar hands-on
First Nutube-loaded amps are here
Simon Arblaster and Michael Astley-Brown turn up the volume to test the latest mini amps from Vox.
Vox showcased its "revolutionary" Nutube mini-valve technology at NAMM 2016 and this year has hit the streets with the first commercially available products to feature the technology borrowed from parent-company, Korg.
The lineup consists of three flavours; AC, Clean and Rock. Each model chucks out a very respectable 50-watts of Class-D power and are paired up with an eight-inch speaker enclosure, the BC108.

I take care of the reviews on MusicRadar and Future Music magazine, though can sometimes be spotted in front of a camera talking little sense in the presence of real musicians. For the past 30 years, I have been unable to decide on which instrument to master, so haven't bothered. Currently, a lover of all things high-gain in the guitar stakes and never one to resist churning out sub-standard funky breaks, the likes of which you'll never hear.
