Vox MV50 Boutique Compact Amp Head

Full Description

Nutube Is The New Vacuum Tube

Introduced in 2015, Nutube is a revolutionary vacuum tube that has become more and more popular. The Nutube is like a conventional vacuum tube, featuring an anode grid filament structure and operating the same as a triode vacuum for an authentic tube amp tone. This compact amplifier head uses a unique analogue preamp design, and offers a low power, low voltage mini head that can be easily taken anywhere.

The MV50 Boutique

The Boutique model of the MV50 amp head provides players with the sounds of legendary boutique amp, covering a wide range of warm and clean tones to cutting overdrive ideal for expressive lead. This compact amp responds naturally to the subtle hints of any playing style, while offering a classic compressed tonal character typical of traditional vacuum tube amps.

Achieve The Dynamics & Feel Of A Tube Amp

Despite its compact size, the MV50 Amp Head includes a class D power amp designed to interact with the internal circuit, offering an incredibly quiet and reliable performance. This versatile amp head faithfully amplifies the character of the vacuum tube sound generated by the Nutube equipped pre-amp circuit. This circuit is also sensitive to every nuance of your playing style, offering dynamics that are true to your tone and an authentic playing experience.

Compact EQ

The MV50 Boutique is equipped with an EQ switch, allowing you to switch between flat and deep modes to suit a wide selection of speaker cabs. Selecting the flat mode for larger speaker cabinets provides an excellent low-end and accentuation of high frequencies, something other small models would usually struggle to reach. When connected to a small-sized cabinet, you can set the EQ switch to deep mode to retain a rich low-frequency range and prevent the high frequencies from becoming too pronounced.

Additional Features

For enhanced connectivity, the Vox MV50 also features a line/headphone output, allowing you to connect directly to a mixer or audio interface for recording sessions. As well as outputs, the MV50 also features a cabinet simulator circuit that faithfully reproduces the characteristics of a cabinet and the air it moves.
