The guy who edits these videos is pure gold. Never let him go.
I thought Chappers did it himself, but maybe i'm wrong though. I'm only a gerbil. Love the amp.
Rory "Mugsmash" McLean.
I see you guys don't watch the last few seconds
Rory keeps upping his game, it's great!
Earl Sinclair he has a really good channel. He has not posted in a while but his playing style is really cool. Search Rory McClean.
The only thing smaller than that amp right there is my will to live
Hank Hill Nothing a propane tank can't fix, but make sure you fix that boy before you go, somethin just not right with that boy
Isn't everything bigger in texas?
Hank.. you already know what I'm gonna say
what about your urethra? I was under the impression you had a particularly narrow one.

This "New Tube" tech is the most interesting thing about these amps. Vox should do a technical demonstration by building a "New Tube" equipped AC30 and comparing it to a "real" AC30. If the difference is miniscule or non existent then we have a game changer in amplifier technology on our hands. If not it's just some gimmicky marketing BS.
and even if it doesn't quite compare, it's still not quite a gimmicky technology because it allows them to put actual tubes in way way way smaller amps
True, it would also be lighter to haul around than the current form. But might also improve the responsiveness/tone of the high end modelling amps like Fractal & Kemper. That is assuming the "New Tube" tech isn't just a marketing gimmick and is an actual technological leap.
I mean we've had the same tube technology in amps for nearly 100 years. If these "New Tubes" are a technological leap for the tube/valve it would behoove the music industry for Vox to build an AC30 using "New Tubes" to prove it's not just a fancy marketing tool and is actual the future.
As a physics student who knows a decent amount about the evolution of technology I really do believe that this is the future of guitar amps... Amp Modeling is limitless yes... And helpful for touring. However I believe that one technology wont overpower the other, it will just be a matter of choice like it is now... Tube, or modeling. Just with much more advanced technology of course. I personally would get both a modeling and a nutube based amp. They both have there uses. Same thing goes for pedals. There will always be analog and digital.
Have a look at the prototype VOX NBX150H looks promising.
Bought the AC version, party because I have a 4ohm 2×12 cab. I can honestly say, best non full tube amp I have ever heard. Wicked loud at half volume on 50 watt mode through 4 ohm cab. Takes pedals brilliantly-but the grit on board is quite nice. This is not a cheap toy. It's not a 2x12 all tube combo amp, but it is damned close.
Tone is tone. If you can get the same tone from a small, cheaper package, GO FOR IT!
This vs micro dark vs micro terror vs other mini heads....time for a miniature head shootout!
Blindfolded.
I came here to say this
I know they did micro terror vs the Peavey Piranha. I now have the MV50 AC and a micro dark, so maybe I'll do comparison video when I get a chance...
Chuck's Guitar Geekery I've got the same two amps and did a quick shootout video. won't post the link, might get marked as spam
So which is better ???
You guys are my go to for anything I wanted to see reviewed . Always the best reviews. 👌
The neck pickup in that Epihone sounds dreamy!! Thanks for using the affordable gear!
oh my Captain, i can't get enough of yer licks, CAN'T GET ENOUGH!
I have a little amp called Bluguitar Amp1 and it has some russian military tube of some sort that is the size of a tube of Chapstick and it is rugged as hell and will last damn near forever. It is a 100w head the size of a large pedal and is so packed with features that it still amazes me. That is the way of the future my friends.
Dimebag Dio Kilmister they've done a video on it
Dimebag Dio Kilmister I have Amp1 and the BluBox and also just got the MV50 Clean with the 8 inch cab. Both are great 😎
He bought out a supply of old stuff. Opinions on the sound and feel of it aside, I don't think it is an 'ongoing' technology.
It is the best amp I have ever owned. I have a doxen pedals in front of it and it handles them just like a big old fashioned tube amp. That guy is a real genius
Very informative and fun to watch, especially because of the gorgegous editing. Superb job!
I love the sound of VOX Amplifiers more than any others.
Thank you for doing this! None of these are available at my home shops and I really want one but all the demos on CZcams seem to sound different. I trust your guys' demos so this was a great reference
Personally, I think Fluff was correct when he said us guitarists are why technology has not really changed much because we know what we like, and we are picky.
Well stated.. and I agree with you 100%. The psychology factor definitely plays a part in adopting new technology for guitarist..
Can't believe how good this sounds. Mind blown.
I swear every piece of gear I’m looking at you guys have already reviewed, thanks so much keep rockin
Thanks guys....your videos always put me in a good mood
outstanding demo really enjoyed this one
just bought this! unbelievable!
I've been waiting for this video! Nice job guys. Bought the AC one a couple weeks ago. Awesome unit!
Thanks Lee for playing a guitar that alot of us more likely to own (me included!)
I'm loving the sound of this. Might get one myself
I just got one this week (clean version) i can't say how amazed i am with it. Got the clean as prefer to have the choice of running my own choice of drive pedals, but so far i've just been so impressed with the clean tone and the combination of the basic treble, bass and my guitars pickups, tone and volume that i haven't got a pedal nr it yet. plugged into a Backstar artisan 212 with celestion vintage 30 loudspeakers - just ****ing amazing! The tone out of this thing is surreal - treble rolled right back and bit of extra bass and just got that lovely warm boutique kinda sound (yeah i know its not boutique but this is delivering the sound i never expected to achieve on my budget!).
kelven1976 takes pedals real well too! I have the same one!!
What do you think of the emulated speaker output? Have you listened to it through headphones?
Love this review! Totally want one of these!
Didn't want to like them... Now I want one...
You can't take Chappers or Lee home, Im sorry.
Got one of the clean amps for all the reasons you mention in this vid. Great little pedal platform, headphone jack for home practice, loud enough as a backup amp to hear yourself on stage and line out for the sound guy/gal if/when your valve amp blows up.
Dear Rob and Lee, I'm an old (55) road guy . Been out with everyone from Britney Spears to Ozzy. I'm not a musician but I love your videos which are encouraging me to start playing. Anyway congratulations on both of your success and the fairly new baby. Best thing I personally ever did was helping make my kids. Continued good fortune.
Daniel Badtrpnmf
Definitely a must buy....that clean one is amazing.
Cheers Captain, I just ordered an MV-50 AC and also have an Epiphone Les Paul Custom Pro (Ebony) as one of my axes...they're well made and still, I think underrated. Keep up the great work, one of my favorite channels....
Love you to guys. Entertaining and informative. 👍🏾
I could totally see someone getting all three of these heads with a few 2x12's and an ABC box for a full rig ... Clean, crunch and lead without using dirt pedals.
bloody brilliant!
You read my mind.
"To Survive" right in the beginning there. Nice! And the store you guys were talking about is Radio Shack. Also - this amp sounded so much better with the Tele than the PRS that it's unbelievable. At least to me.
I love the sound of those VOX Amps
I just got one of the MV50 AC amps for my studio. It's amazing and I've already used it in a couple of tracking sessions. I have it running through an old marshall 50watt combo, which the head unit for had blown. Paired with the celestion speaker, this amp really sings.
Wow, that sounds a**-kicking! I am a big fan of little amps, Orange Microdark and Blackstar HT1, this sounds as good, amazing!!
The stuff that you guys randomly jam I would buy on an album!!!
i love vox!
sounds really good . thank guys.
was waiting for Chappers and Cap10 say on this. now I'm considering. looks and sounds rocking. Thanks guys. cheers and God bless
that little vox amp sounds awesome
Great sound out of the Vox mini heads. I could see these amps being very versatile in a studio situation since it doesn't take 45 minutes to dial in a type of sound you may be looking for in about 5-10 minutes. Plus it carries with it the tried and true vox sound with little effort. I definitely could see studios supplanting how I was
You guys crack me up.
Ok. Those little things sound amazing.
Really good amp and I wasn't sure about these amps when I first saw them in the catalog. Now I am sure that they are great amps. Peace, Flood!
You should do a shootout with these, the Orange Micro, and those Hotone mini things
ALSO, a more "topgear" version of that would be a "smallest rig challenge" I mean like 3/4 scale guitars, 2ft patch cables, those novelty microstacks that are like 4 inches tall
just for the shits and giggles
Fascinating!
I effing love the mv50 clean omg its a beast and ridiculously loud on a 4 ohm cab
I have had my fender amp stuff up Twice and my orange once and all at gigs ! Luckily I had one of these as a back up and now I just use my Vox mv as a full time amp !
Super loud reliable and great tone .
OMG I bought an PRS Archon because of that tune you two play at the beginning, but when Vanilla Arse came out I had to go. Love you guys.
This sounds freakin' amazing.
I love my MV50 AC. I just need to get a cab now.
These little bastards sound AMAZING! I'm very impressed. Quite honestly, I'm surprised that it's taken the industry so long to come up miniature tubes.
Matt Jones miniature tubes existed back in the 50s and 60s but were killed off by transistors. It is surprising that the idea hasn’t been revived before now.
I have a Vox Cambridge 50 with a nutube and I'm absolutely in love with it. The "double rec" model (i think you can guess what that is emulating) sounds amazing. Sure, you can tell it's not the real deal but it's close enough for my taste just playing at home as a hobby.
I think that glass tubes will go the way of LP's. Newer technologies will change the industry and what people choose, but everyone will still realize that they (LP's / tubes) have a unique character that CANNOT be replicated.
Vanessa P they need to be able to replicate power tubes before they could truly replace traditional ones.
just pre-ordered the ML2 single cut-away in dusk. cant wait to get it!
Damn! What's with the capt! Seriously! WTF! He gets better with his playing with, at least, every passing video. Always a pleasure to hear .
i bought the clean as a back up. it takes distortion pedals well and is fast becoming my go to. works fine in my practices and has plenty of volume to keep up with my fairly loud rock band.. love it.. the new tube works on the same principle as an LED, feels very close to a full size tube
I love the way the nu tubes glow
Wow, just wow... Vox made a little bundle of tone! I've ordered one after the demo, I just love how the Rock one sounds. Also, I'm thinking about getting a Clean one, I loved how it started to break up when you turned up!
You guys rock! Thanks for these awesome demos and reviews, keep on rockin' ! \m/
Seems like a GREAT option for future episodes of Sound Like
I run this on a 4 X 12 cab and its sounds great.
¿Enough headroom for rehearsal with a heavy-handed drummer?
@@beckhighways watch the PMTUVK video about this amp. you'll get the answer
"there was an amplifier - that was in danger ....of being crushed by a dwarf "
The reason why the Clean amo is the most popular is cuz there amps don't have FX loops, so the clean one is the only one with which delays and choruses and reverbs and all the post distortion effects will sound better with it.
Always interesting and a bloody good laugh. Well done chaps.
True that :)
The emulated out sounded pretty solid to me. For easy guitar recordings on my PC for demos or practice, this would hit the spot.
Espetacular!
This thing is pretty bad ass. I work at guitar center. We plugged it into a 2x15 Bassman cab and it sounded great.
I tried one of these out the other day and I was surprised that I did like it. It sounded better than some of the mid-range Orange amps (when played through an Orange 1x12 cabinet).
I tried the ac at my local music stores. These things are phenomenal. Seriously, try one if you get the chance if you don't believe me
Hi there, excellent review as usual. Here's a suggestion : when you demo "small amps", a valuable info would be to have some kind of measurement of the dbs in the room, just to figure out for us whether you are playing loud, quiet, etc. ? and, more accurately, how loud is the clean headroom for an amp... etc. just to know whether you can actually gig with it or ... ?
The Clean box is seriously impressive. 24:30
Emulated Output sound GREAT!
That Prs is beautiful
I'm an electrical engineer (BSEE & MSEE) - basically, the "Nutube" is a common fluorescent display found in clocks and stereos, some cars, and many other places. Yes, it's a real tube - with a much lower plate voltage & designed to be a display. All they did was adapt all the existing machinery that has existed for decades to make this compact tube for audio. Compared to the 12AX7 the transconductance is MUCH lower, the plate voltage (and current) is MUCH lower, the power dissipation is MUCH lower, the gain factor is MUCH lower. Not saying this is necessarily bad for guitar distortion - but as a basic amplifying device on its own - it is deficient. Still though - a cool idea. I'll be buying one as a backup amp.
My goodness that little bit of lead Chappers plays after 4:02 is sublime. And I don't usually subscribe to his more 'shredding' style. Very, very nice with lot's of groove and soul. I thought so in anycase...
20:07 Lee's signature lick. Wouldn't be an Anderton's video without it!
That Epiphone Lee has really does sound sweet a number of times in this video. An affordable pairing that has some truly great tones in there.
holy shit it sounds good I think i need it
oh my, that ice, ice baby part was golden.
lovely blue Les Paul
Vox amps rock!
Chap, you sound so cool with that PRS.
I like your silly way...and your wonderful in depth look into all you review. The new guys or o.k., though I guess thinks always evolve.
ROB! I love your Videos Man! I just wish Chapman would have more dealers in the Philippines
Yeah, you can only play a Chapman in ONE city in Poland, pretty inconvenient.
Rob the beard looks epic and Cap'n you make that blue look sexy. You guys are the ultimate Dads. Great video!
those guitars😍😍😍
I'm very excited about the Nutube technology, and I'm planning to get one of the NBX150H heads that Vox demoed at NAMM 2017, as I've had too many tube amps fail on me to want to keep buying them/replacing tubes. With the exception of Kemper, there's not a solid-state amp which IMO can hold a candle to a proper tube amp, and if the Nutubes give you the tube sound with the robustness of SS amps, I'm sold (and without the pricetag of the Kemper).
These are great little amps. Shame about the price. If they were a bit cheaper I would buy a clean and a dirty and a switch pedal.
Only other thing is would have been nice to have an effect loop like the Micro Dark.
Great video chaps 😊
Strat +Clean+OD= A W E S O M E!!!
eco actually shuts the amp down if it is not used for 15 minutes..
Nice...
I totally can see why the clean is so popular. It's a solid sound platform for pedals.
I've said it before and I say it again.... The editor of these videos is a fkn genious =)
Man........the editing is GOLD...laughing my ass out
Mini amps are going to be glorious and expand music in the next 5 years. Reason why vox is my fav amp makers. Over fender or marshall.
Looking forward to the next micro amp shootout. I've been looking at ditching my modelling pre as I always seem to go back to the same one setting.
I bought the clean one with the little cab from Andertons. Love it. Don't use my boogie king snake much now.
amaaaaaazingggg
I just had to sit through a two minute ad I've seen before to get to a video that's essentially an advertisement! No skip ad option came up!
I just hope as the years have gone by, that you have been able to put this tragedy behind you. Stay strong.
I checked out both the MV50 and AC10 at Cranbourne Music a couple of days ago. I know the AC10 is more just over twice the price but it is 10 times the amp. I bought the AC10 and gigged with it last night. It’s awesome in a small venue with my 4 piece band consisting of 2 vocals, drums, bass and keys.
Finally an IC that sounds okay in place of a valve. Big tone for a ditty thing.
Pretty henchworth pengford if you ask me. Although, pretty surprised this is not in the pedal format to be honest, it being so small it could've easily been a more on-the-floor product with clean/dirty switch.
