I have the standard version of this. It has a pretty smooth gain. It sounds closer to an actual tube amp than most solid state amps and reacts well to picking dynamics and guitar volume knob. I wish Ampeg used Nutubes in their solid state amps then I’d be set. Even the Orange Crush series would benefit from this technology. The Crushes have a spitty note decay when played dirty.
Vox (or their parent company) may have the patent on Nutube tech, which (if they do) would preclude others from using them without license. They could of course develop their own, but who knows what some companies see as valuable. I freely admit I'm absolutely surprised at how good this amp sounds - whether that's the Nutube or the overall architecture, I don't care. I dig this little amp!
It’d be a cool mod to add a jack to turn the treble booster on and off via a foot switch. There’s a pretty easy mod to add an effects loop to these amps as well.
ive got it too... Brian has ALWAYS been one of my fave guitarists even before I played

Ogre Battle at the beginning nice!
one of my favorite Queen songs ... and the one that earned this video a copyright knock ;)

That would be a cool mod. Not sure if I'll really use the treble booster - it's SO noisy. But it does sound cool!
Is the amp you used just a cab? Im also guessing you can use any amp with the vox head amp. Correct me if im wrong
Yes, it's a generic 1x12 cab with a Celestion Creamback (8 ohms).
Nice demo, is it plugged into the Supro Amp ?
thanks - plugged into the Supro's 15" speaker
It has a tube
not a traditional one, like a 12AX7 ... it's some kind of weird hybrid thing
Works , and the same principles of push and pull as any glass tube
@@chiba131it's actually a tube. Not emulation. Just smaller with new technology
Hi ! What sort of guitar do U use with MV50 ? Thanks
I think I was using a Strat in this video.
It’s not really an amp though is it? There’s no speaker built in you’re playing it through a real amp.
