This is probably one of the best A/B comparison videos I've ever seen. Just really well done. I'm really quite impressed by the little MV50 keeping up with the famous AC30.
Yeah, the AC30 sounds a little warmer and fuller, but for the lower price and insane portability I'd definitely spring for the MV-50! Great side by side comparison.
I have recorded a full album with the MV50 AC and Celestion Gold Speaker and Greg Fryer Treble Booster Plus. The sound is incredible rich and mid tone, a real vox sound...
Best demo ever seen. For reals. Made all differences/nuances so clear. That was evident both from your quite clever choice to play in the one Brian May mode. For one, all those riffs/sounds were already present in my mind, so I had a reference basis for subjective comparison. I had already a subjective sense of how they "should" sound. And then just using the May tone/style consistently actually made the nuances more vivid than say, the mechanical bridge pickup, then middle, etc. Also it demonstrated how much the playing itself affects the amp - in other words, we saw via your example how hand dynamics affect the amp sound because you weren't just playing little progressions as you skipped by rote through the pickups. Very, very useful. Also, btw your playing is excellent & very expressive, true to May's style but with its own mojo . I myself own the MV50 Rock & AC models which I am tri-amping through separate 1x12s with Greenback/Scumback UK voiced speakers. In addition, I have a sort of a Matchless clone 25W 7189/El84 gain stage 12AX7 pre amp GZR4 rectifier 1x12 open-back combo with Jensen speaker in the middle - both figuratively & literally. Again, impressed & appreciative.
To my ears the ac30 has more warmth and saturation the MV less so slightly less depth very slightly tinny. would love to see a comparison with the Vox AV 30 or 60
Omg this is incredible, im 12 years old, and im saving money taking care of my sister and making her breakfast, in some days i will have the money to buy that thing, im very excited, (sorry for my bad eanglish)
After watching this, I'm actually trading in my Boss Katana Artist for an MV50 and a Cab. I bought the Artist for convenience, portability and durability (not for onboard effects. I have a full analog pedalboard as well as a Boss Me-80 for that). My Vox AC15 used to be my goto. But as I play blues, I long for that natural tube response that I just can't get out of the Katana (despite it sounding great otherwise). I think this may solve my problem perfectly.
The ac30 has more hi end harmonics , equals better feedback. The mv50 to me has kind of a boxy mid-range, both sound good Hats off to the ac30. For me.
Awesome video, man! I'm continually impressed with the MV-50! Overall, I think the AC30 has an ever so slightly fuller sound/tone, but that's listening to it side by side. The MV-50 can still sound great on its own, for practice or certain gigs where you don't want to lug your AC30. Also great to have as a backup, in case your AC30 has issues. The MV-50 AC is on my shopping list.
WOW! WOW! WOW! Amazing tones! I've burnt out many a set of AC30 valves using the same set up via a THD Hot Plate ('97 Vox AC30, Fryer Treble Boost... but a Gibson Les Paul!)... but just couldn't justify the valve outlay! Love the sound of the Fryer 'Purple' Treble Booster but was going to sell it... not anymore! I need one of these in my rig! WOW! Nice playing too, man! 🕊
Greetings from the U.S. Great comparison as others have stated. I currently play through a boogie M 111. But have always been a fan of The Vox and other British amps. Killer tone. Every guitar player I've ever known has chased the Brian May tone at one point or another, The little MV has a pretty good set of berries! Nice playing as well.
Question! I have an AC30 which unfortunately is in the UK... Now living in Canada, don't have the heart to sell the UK AC30, or the money to buy a new one in Canada! Need to keep my UK one for touring... At the moment I'm playing in small bars, these seem amazing substitute for gigs, if the volume is loud enough?? Would love to know how volume stacked up to the ac30?? Great video!
Just bought the Clean Version, the attenuator will allow me to use my Marshall's cab without breaking windows, for not much more than an attenuator, and gives me additional tonal ranges, the AC version does sound great, how is it in Volume next to the AC30?
Amazing how well the MV50 sounds next to the full tube Vox. I am considering the Vox Mini Super Beetle, which I believe is basically an MV50 core plus some reverb, and this video makes the NuTube amp a real contender.
AC30 had noticeably more low end but otherwise very similar. MV50 apparently has a "deep" switch at the back so I wonder if this might have added back some of the AC30's depth if engaged or whether it would have just pushed the MV50 into muddy territory.
Very nice way to compare these amps! I have owned AC30 back in the 70s and still miss it. Can live with a "modern" AC 15 for now. That little beast make me curious tho!
Hi, there are male to male adapters, you unplug the speaker from the amp at the bottom of the chassis (sometimes is located at the back of the amp) , then plug the speaker male jack of the combo amp into one side of the adapter and your other amp (combo or head) into the other side. The adapter is very simple and can be made with two speaker female connectors and a cable between them. If you can use a soldering iron you can do It yourself or you can order one, They´re cheap. I use them to connect power attenators between the amp and the speaker or like this case, to use a combo amp speaker as a cab to test oher amps. The Vox AC30 combo has the same connector as a head and cab, a male jack coming from the speaker and a female conector at the bottom or back off the chassis (dependig of the year of production). It´s usefull and easy to set up, If you have a combo amp with good speakers but you like the sound from another amp ,combo or head, you can use this method. It´s amazing how different an amp can sound with different speakers, more than you´ll ever imagine. Last night I connected a Fender Deluxe Reverb combo to a Marshall combo with two Celestion Vintage 30. It´s like another amp, the Fender amp sounds way better with overdrive, before that I used It as a clean amp only. Hope this helps.
Nice comparison! I was impressed with the little 50. Could easily tell dem apart, but not more than 10%. The feedback obviously wasnt strong enough. But it showed me how big a part of the sound the guitar it is. And always a bonus in a Brian May video thay you know how to play Brian style. Even Rabea Massad could not flog that.
Wow! That IS impressive. I would never have expected this from that little plastic box. Sure it can't keep up with the big boy it gets frighteningly close.
I wonder if the apparent tonal variations between the MV and 30 when playing the riff from "White Queen" could or would be mitigated by increasing the volume of the MV, or something.
MV50 is the future of amps. It needs a bit of perfection in presence wise yet it is so impressive. Have Brian playing it, the MV50 would dominate the rock industry again.
They are very similar in tone, almost identical. I felt that the MV-50 was a little lacking in drive compared to the AC30. Also the MV-50 had a bit more High End than the AC30. But the MV-50 is incredible for the price and is probably one of the best ways to achieving the Brian May sound, especially on a budget.
Very cool. If possible, i would love to see/hear a comparison of the amps with a regular BMG guitar. Does the "budget" BMGuitar and the "budget" Vox MV-50...can they get the Brian May tone?
The BMG will sound almost the same....its the cab/speakers that will make a much bigger difference! He needs to try it with a cheaper amp and or speaker cab.....that will show much more noticable differences. He's still demo'in the £199 amp through an AC30 cab loaded with 2 UK alnico blue speakers....i'd much more prefer to hear it through a cheaper amp like a valvetronix or similar.
So how would you compare this to say, the Vox VT100X, as I'm think of getting practice amp and my current set up doesn't really cut it for home rehearsals.
Great comparison. The MV50 lacks the soft transition from clean to distortion the AC30 has, but in a band or mix context I think you couldn´t tell the difference. Plus the sound is in the hands, last night I saw a pair of videos Brian made during Covid years , he connected his guitar to a cheap tiny transistor Vox amp, I think he said it was 5 watt with a sinle 8 or 10 inch speaker in a small combo configuration. He performed a few solos from well known Queen songs that sound 90% like his live recordings. He was sitting in a coach in his living room. You can give me 9 vintage AC30 and his own Red Special guitar and I will sound not even close to him, and I´ve been a session player for almost 20 years, but I´m not Brian May so I will never sound like him. I wish I could play like him, the same happens with other players like Guimour or Clapton. Guimour plays a Strat a Les Paul live and It always sounds like him no matter the guitar.
Nice vid lads! As others have said, the AC30 edges it for me. Very impressed with the MV-50 though. There really is no substitute for proper valves and transformers. Look forward to seeing more comparison videos from you guys!
..and as always..just wondering if the tubes in the AC30 were tested in a quality tester prior to the video being made. Be a shame to be comparing apples with oranges....(only takes one side of one dual triode to be down a little to REALLY affect the way an amp performs).
For a solid state amplifier, the Vox MV50-AC sounds really close to the Brian May's gear. But the AC30 sounds a little bit much better, just because of the tubes.
The AC30 unquestionably sounds better. But the MV REALLY made a strong showing for itself. When you consider the portability and the price, it’s a no-brainer. 95% of the tone for around 20% of the price, and only weighs one pound. Awesome.
The MV50 sounds great but I can't believe they left out reverb AND effects loop. No womder the "Clean" version is the best seller, it allows you to put a reverb &/or delay pedal in front. On the "Vox" and "Rock" versions, if you use the onboard distortion or push it hard, you have to play dry or else you'll distort your reverb or delay. A nice digital reverrb would have made the MV series a grand slam! In an interview I read with Hartley Peavey, he said new amps get held up in production if they have anything digital on them bercause it requires FCC approval which takes months to aquire. Maybe thats why amp companies somtimes leave it out. However, they usually put an effects loop which is not expensive to produce. I mean, come on... One or the other!!!
Great 3 part series. The only thing that would have made it a little better would have been Ferris on the Drums and Sloane on the Bass then the 3 of you rocking out on some old Queen songs.🤣🤣🤣
No, the MV cannot beat the AC sounds! But it is near by! Sad, it is not repairable! The MV Sounds a bit more like a Marshall amp. Good Vid and good comparison!
Couldn't agree more. Played on my PC in two separate windows with good speakers, the difference is immediately obvious. The AC30 sounds incredible, the MV50 AC like a pretender.
Hi andrew i know this is a old video .from last year but i thought it was really good your a great player . I did like the tone better on the 50 but the 30 sounded grear as well.
Really? You don't hear differences between those amps? AC30 is the winner of that comparisjon.More Brian May is in that model.Especially clean sound is more creamy and rich on AC30.
As much as I want the NuTube to be a good substitute for a heavy tube amp, there's no contest between the two amps. The AC30 has the tone, the saturation, the fullness, and the vox sound. They need to revisit the NuTube and try to improve the fidelity of that component instead of coming up with 20 different ways to market it.
Cool .Great comparison you can really hear the differences there. The AC30 sounds like its putting out 15 different frequencies across the spectrum, the MV50 more like about 5 frequencies :) If you want a simplifed version of the sound sure get the MV50 ...but you will still need those lovely 2 x12 celestion speakers in that cabinet to get your 5 frequencies ;) which will cost you oh $600-$700 extra on top of your MV50 price :D
This is probably one of the best A/B comparison videos I've ever seen. Just really well done. I'm really quite impressed by the little MV50 keeping up with the famous AC30.
Cheers Matt :)
Wow so glad I got the mv50
Yes! I completely agree! One of the best comparison video on the Tube!

Undoubtedly t best A/B gear comparison I have seen. Quality editing. Thank you.
jensenhealey08 Thank you!
Wow insane how the nutube technology can get so close to an expensive heavy tube amp
This bloke knows this articulate and complex sound inside and out, and is a valuable resource to achieve these tones, no matter what your budget is
The best A/B Comparison between the two amplifiers, well done
Very well done. I do think the AC30 was a little fuller clean but overdriven, the difference diminished

Hats off to the ac30. For me.
I agree that AC30 has more hi end harmonics, but MV50 sounds comfortable for my ear.
yeah but the ac30 is heaps more expensive, takes a lot more maintenance, bigger and heavier. Understandable for that tone and feedback though lol
Its' hard to split these for me, and the portability and convenience of the MV50 wins it overall I feel, great comparison thanks.
Awesome video, man! I'm continually impressed with the MV-50! Overall, I think the AC30 has an ever so slightly fuller sound/tone, but that's listening to it side by side.

what red special replica is that???
hi, vox Mv50 where is connected guitar speakers or sound card?
Speakers
Hi, can the Vox MV50-AC serve as a kind of power attenuator for the AC30 perhaps?
MV50 is the future of amps. It needs a bit of perfection in presence wise yet it is so impressive. Have Brian playing it, the MV50 would dominate the rock industry again.
very good but I think a brian may wig for pt2 is a must. Do the boys in the shop agree?
Nice edits side by side Andrew. Slightly lighter tone from the MV but tbh, you couldn’t fault the overall tone from the MV over the AC 👍🎸
Hey!!! How do you have distortion with just one vox Ac30?
would the MV50 Rock be very different than the MV AC30?
Whats more awesome with Mv50ac with a send / return mod, you can add reverb effects and others after pre amplification ..
They are very similar in tone, almost identical. I felt that the MV-50 was a little lacking in drive compared to the AC30. Also the MV-50 had a bit more High End than the AC30. But the MV-50 is incredible for the price and is probably one of the best ways to achieving the Brian May sound, especially on a budget.
well said
If the MV50 sounds a bit thinner, then a booster can fix that.
Yup, I think the power tube makes the difference, when you crank the AC30 it saturates on the output, the MV50 only has a preamp tube.
Very cool. If possible, i would love to see/hear a comparison of the amps with a regular BMG guitar. Does the "budget" BMGuitar and the "budget" Vox MV-50...can they get the Brian May tone?

Absolutely not :)
Sounds good but will it stand the test of time
I used to have a beige ac30 with blue speakers I did realise what I had at the time sold it for £100
The MV would make a great backup to carry for my TBX.
..and as always..just wondering if the tubes in the AC30 were tested in a quality tester prior to the video being made. Be a shame to be comparing apples with oranges....(only takes one side of one dual triode to be down a little to REALLY affect the way an amp performs).
Andy Rolfe splitting hairs...
Andy Rolfe which is why people seek alternatives
For a solid state amplifier, the Vox MV50-AC sounds really close to the Brian May's gear. But the AC30 sounds a little bit much better, just because of the tubes.
Great DEMO , I especially liked the inclusion of Great King Rat " !

Go check out the Vox Mini Supper Beatle. It has digital reverb.
Tarrell Freeze yeah I wish they had made something like the Hotone Britwind. Those guys got all the features right. Vox got the sounds right.

So true. Back to the drawing board VOX.
Absolutely no difference (At least to me) And awesome editing, Are you sure you're not just running into the same amp?
I guess you are listening on your phone or don't have ears....AC30 kills it. MV50-AC sounds veiled by comparison.
Cool .Great comparison you can really hear the differences there.
The AC30 sounds like its putting out 15 different frequencies across the spectrum,
the MV50 more like about 5 frequencies :)
If you want a simplifed version of the sound sure get the MV50 ...but you will still need those lovely 2 x12 celestion speakers in that cabinet to get your 5 frequencies ;) which will cost you oh $600-$700 extra on top of your MV50 price :D
Not feeling the dark sweetness of the real thing on the micro valve mini. It's missing that something I hear in the big amp. Sorry, God bless all.
VOX AC30 2:50 and VM50 4:08 ... I hear a metallic noise in the background that sounds like an insect!!!! Fret problem?
