Landon Bailey I enjoy your style of presentation. I ordered one of these Superbeetles because of your recommendation. It arrived today. I’ve set it up, haven’t played through it yet. Just love looking at it. I have an AC30CC2X and a Vox Valvetronix AD60VT (modelling amp).I love those amps I’ve gigged with them and recorded with them. I’ll seperate with them when they bury me. But I just fell in love with thing and I haven’t even turned it on yet. Thanks for the vids.
Have one of these, as well as my AC15C1. I love the SuperBeetle for home use. Like you stated, it's plenty loud. I have it volume around the 12 o'clock and is clear and nice to play. Was so blown away by the little 10" and open back cab. Didn't expect too much. But was pretty blown away by how good this little thing sounds. Thanks for the share Landon.
Nice summary. I have to agree on all of it. Best purchase I made all year. I'm not much of a reverb or trem fan either, but both are addicting. With the reverb you can pretend you're Peter Green and with the trem you can be John Fogerty. All nice stuff.
Thx for this episode! 😄 Just a quick question - there is another Superbeetle out there with "Audio" in the name that can act as BT speaker. Is that an alternative, too? Cause I read about the the guitar through the Superbeetle Audio wouldn't sound that good.
Landon, check out thr Vox Mini Go amps. I have 2 of the 50 model. Great for playing at fiunctions. I velcroed a battery also. Amp has: models, looper, mictophone jack, rhythm selection, also good effects.l & sounds good.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 "Yeah....I'm losing my mind.."....🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 great video and tones!!!! Instant sub! I was sent here by Shane @InTheBlues in his video on this kick ass amp 🤘
I just bought one open box from Proadiostar via eBay for $339.00 with tax. Here's to hoping it pairs well with my Gretsch G2210 Streamliner Junior Jet Club I rescued from a pawn shop in Kalamazoo MI...don't forget a fuzz peal.
do you think I can use it to play on small restaurants? I am making a little setup for restaurants and small bars, I already have a boss s1 and this seem to have a very good size
I don't mean this as a hate comment, its just that this amp sounds like a recording of a radio compared to say a ac15c1 (I compared them back to back, and yes the 15 sounds way better!). The clean is decent, but doesn't have that same umph to it. But once you crank the gain it sounds no better than a pathfinder. Honestly this "new tube technology" may be a little bit better than what we had in the past, but it still is pretty trash. It's worth it to spend the extra for a ac15 or even 30. But if there is one solid state practice amp I can suggest it's defiantly a peavey bandit 112, I know that was random but who knows yah might like it as i do. :/
Hey thanks for the opinion! And ya tone is a personal taste. not sure if you’ve checked out other videos on my channel, I’ve covered the ac15 and peavey bandit in a number of videos, as well as the Pathfinder 10. They each have their purpose. As a practice amp though, I prefer the SuperBeetle over all of them. Take care!
@@landonbailey I see. It just reminds me of this amp I owned once. An old Guild. I loved that amp and I just loved the real spring reverb chamber it had. Unfortunately it was a bit too old. It actually electrocuted me a few times.
Your funny man crackin me up I really want the MSB 1x10 I'm torn between the MSB 1x10 The Pathfinder 15R Cambridge 15 Or ac15vr The SMB is unique, it sounds dam good and like you said its not stuck to a body I can plug it into my 8x25 cab 😎
Seen one in long&mcquade Edmonton just yesterday I would love to see a high gain version I was a fan of the amplug2 metal and still playing a round with it when traveling.
Lovin’ you sense of humor. That said the vintage look is bit weird. Not saying it need to glow blue like H&K SuperAmp 4000 but you know, it’s 2018. 19 almost.
Aaaaand it glows blue :D Yup that's better I agree but it still looks like a prop from an Austin Powers movie series. It's the Vox point of difference I get it. All good. :)
I played this in a guitar center in Michigan. I really like the tremolo on this amp. Do you know where you would place your tremolo in your signal chain to get a similar sound
I'm not really sure. Because it's built in, I'm assuming they have the reverb and trem setup as though there was an FX Loop. I'll see if I can find out. Maybe it's in the manual or on the official site.
Cool, Yea I really liked it in this amp and the amp played awsome! JHS did a great video recently on Fuzz and Tremolo. I never knew fuzz and tremolo went together so well. JHS Josh's playing inspired me with fuzz and tremolo together.
Play it through either two 2X12's (4 ohms) or two 1X12's (4 ohms). It's been more than loud enough for me. Just add a boost pedal for solos and you're set.
Hillarious, yet informative as always. Do you remember when Chandler and Ross showed up at the Geldman's for Thanksgiving and Monica was in a fat suit? Who gives a sh#t?! The amp sounds and looks awesome. I agree. But do you get the same organic connection that always seems unique to tube amps? Have never come across one in a shop to try it out. Thanks for the vid!
Oy landon!!!! I want a refund. I one of the kids I bought was a alli express knock off. Ahh, I actually, I never mind, I I'll get a waterside decal and hit up ebay. Ps, I love your vids man!
How did the blinding blue light not make your list? :) It really surprised me how good it sounds. And I have to say that in addition to what you listed, it plays pretty dang well at a low volume. Sometimes, my wife goes to bed before 9, which is about when I feel like playing during the week. Oh, and I know at least 3 guitar shops in my area no longer have one.
When you say low volume, do you think nighttime playing in an apartment would possible? I know it has a headphone out, but I get tired of wearing them with my Blackstar tube amp. The Blackstar is 10 watts so it's just a bit too loud without them. I wish the vox had an aux input for playing backing tracks. My local shop has one for $330 and I'm seriously thinking about grabbing it if it'll work out in my place.
@@81ghale I find that between the guitar volume, the amp volume and gain, I have a bit of room to adjust the level. It's not like some amps that go from barely audible to too loud. This might not be helpful but I did a quick recording with my phone (which is probably too close to the guitar). ua-cam.com/video/uXDFEekluok/v-deo.html
I love the Beetles, the Stoans, the Aminals, the Zombeez, the Birds, the Yard Byrds, the Doars, the Creem, Jimmie Hendricks, the Kinx, the Hoo, etc, etc. This might be a good amp for me. 😁👍
Who's running the Vox company these days? The word SuperBeetle means "Big bug that crawls on the ground". The word SuperBeatle refers to the band that changed the world and the amps they introduced to us in the mid 60's.
I really like my Mini Beetle but what ticks me off is this… when I was looking into buying the amp Vox offered a separate matching cabinet so you could power two cabs with the one head. Soon after I bought my Vox and tried to buy the second cabinet, Vox dropped the item. Arghhhhhhhh, a pox on you Vox!!! 🤬🤬🤬
@@landonbailey Ya, I even emailed Vox in the UK to inquire about it but got nowhere with my inquiry. I just don't understand why they would have dual outputs on the amp if they didn't offer the separate cab to pair with the original.
So what do family members go for these days up north? I know you need to factor in the child support and alimony and all but a ball park figure? Hahaha

Welcome to my Vox Mini SuperBeetle Clip episode! Do you remember old sitcoms doing clip shows? I hated them!
Have you tried to play any horrors songs on it.:)
I haven't 😁

I put this on my Christmas list, so, here's hoping..."Oh, Father Christmas? Father Voxness?" (Thank you, Lee Anderton for that line.)
haha 👍🎸
Such a witty fella that Captain Lee! 😁👍
I just got a Mini Super Beetle - this stack is great! Thanks for all of your vids about it. You didn’t steer me wrong!
hey nice! ya I have no agenda to sell the amp. it's a keeper. if I didn't love it I would say so. 😊🎸🎶
I loved your witticisms. Thanks for making me smile.
I just bought one
nice!
Thx for this episode! 😄 Just a quick question - there is another Superbeetle out there with "Audio" in the name that can act as BT speaker. Is that an alternative, too? Cause I read about the the guitar through the Superbeetle Audio wouldn't sound that good.
That other model with Bluetooth is the successor but I haven't tried it. I find it confusing
That's it am getting one .I have 3 kids 2 will do ..fair exchange right ?
Judd Lofthouse Ha ha, the amp’s not really very expensive - unless maybe you really want to get rid of the kid....😆
That's funny !
They need to do a mini UL730 or UL1200
Lov’n me some of that VOX mini Super Beetle. Killer blues tones, and it pedals too.
the vox Cambridge 50 is very awesome, too!
cool I haven't tried that one
@@landonbailey a bunch of great voices
Great video man! I’ve been watching videos for these and am quite tempted.
hey Nick! I'm having a lot of fun with it. take care!
#9 - The Mini Super Beetle is clearly R2-D2’s cousin and is the perfect droid sidekick to explore the galaxy with.
Landon, check out thr Vox Mini Go amps. I have 2 of the 50 model. Great for playing at fiunctions. I velcroed a battery also. Amp has: models, looper, mictophone jack, rhythm selection, also good effects.l & sounds good.
Thanks for the tip!
Do you notice any audible hiss on low volume and gain? Mine is very audible and quite bothersome. Sounds great otherwise
I don't recall. Definitely noticeable on other Vox amps like the Ac15 though
Hey man great video!
I love the sound of it!❤️
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 "Yeah....I'm losing my mind.."....🤣🤣🤣😂😂😂 great video and tones!!!! Instant sub! I was sent here by Shane @InTheBlues in his video on this kick ass amp 🤘
ah very cool! welcome to my crazy channel
Looks cool almost like a Louie vuitton carry on suitcase with wheels.
looks and sounds cool!
Just got the last one in stock from a great place, limited racing green £230 free delivery, feel like it’s a pretty good deal!
Do you still like it ?
I just bought one open box from Proadiostar via eBay for $339.00 with tax. Here's to hoping it pairs well with my Gretsch G2210 Streamliner Junior Jet Club I rescued from a pawn shop in Kalamazoo MI...don't forget a fuzz peal.

hey there! Just you playing solo, ya for sure. it's pretty loud. check out my other Superbeetle videos. one is about the loudness
Love the Rancor holding up the Amps!
forgot I had that in there! 👍😊
Got one in Union Jack for $199 new
Love it!
nice!
Just got one and it's great for metal/ pedals imo. Thanks Landon!
Enjoy!
Nothin greasy aboot it, love this amp.
👍🎸
These videos make me want to get one of these amps. But you’ve since parted with it. Do I just hold out for an AC-10? Home use only.
I've parted with bone and gone to a Fender Tone Master. It's hard to say which Vox amp I would pick again, if a choice between the two options
@@landonbailey I too have a Tone Master. But I just ordered one of these Superbeetles to have some Vox tones at home. Union Jack model!
hey nice! it's fun for sure
A lot of people are skeptical about nutube still from what I can see. I really want to give it a try.
This video cured my caffeine addiction for 10 minutes
I like coffee
@@landonbailey just ordered this mini super beetle off your sweetwater link. Us.
Video was just too good

You are right about it going loud tho. That tiny thing most certainly surprised me!
Well goddamnit I'm sold on it now.
Great humour! I like the t-shirt!
Thanks!
It doesn't happen to have a real spring reverb chamber does it?
it doesn't. it's a digital spring, I think it's pretty decent if you like reverb
@@landonbailey I see. It just reminds me of this amp I owned once. An old Guild. I loved that amp and I just loved the real spring reverb chamber it had. Unfortunately it was a bit too old. It actually electrocuted me a few times.
Tandem them up in stereo and all you need🎸🤘🏼
Could you use it for gigs?
depends on the gig setup: ua-cam.com/video/TxmbUk-H82s/v-deo.html
ua-cam.com/video/xXhCqS1XFjg/v-deo.html
Absolutely....I have.
Your funny man crackin me up
I really want the MSB 1x10
I'm torn between the
MSB 1x10
The Pathfinder 15R
Cambridge 15
Or ac15vr
The SMB is unique, it sounds dam good and like you said its not stuck to a body I can plug it into my 8x25 cab 😎
Hey! How is this different compared to the ac10? I can't tell
AC10 is all tube
@@landonbailey Thanks dude but I meant tonally 😅
Lando , brilliant video.
ah you're too kind. it was just a clip show
Have one sounds great , versatile, doesn't take up too much space. Money well spent.
Do you still have this amp?
I do not! Just sold it a couple months ago when I got a Fender Princeton
Is there an FX loop on this? I need this
ya no FX loop on this one. seems to be a common thing with Vox
@@landonbailey Makes me miss my Pathfinder 15R...it had a good Line Out
@@landonbailey Wait, does it have a line out that doesnt double as a headphone jack?
it does have a line out. I used it in s cd recent live stream video ua-cam.com/video/iaIMpBBf-Aw/v-deo.html
Terribly strange. I loved it.
Anyone know what it's like at low-ish volumes?
it's good :)
Seen one in long&mcquade Edmonton just yesterday I would love to see a high gain version I was a fan of the amplug2 metal and still playing a round with it when traveling.
that would be cool to see more models for different genres
@@landonbailey they do have those little mv50 amps but I dont have much interest in them because they dont have an effects loop
I also have this amp. Pretty nice and sounds great.
Lovin’ you sense of humor. That said the vintage look is bit weird. Not saying it need to glow blue like H&K SuperAmp 4000 but you know, it’s 2018. 19 almost.
hey thanks! Vox has done a new modern look. search for mvx150h
Aaaaand it glows blue :D Yup that's better I agree but it still looks like a prop from an Austin Powers movie series. It's the Vox point of difference I get it. All good. :)
Cool video, thanks for the laugh! Been thinking about buying one of these.
hey thanks! ya I've been trying out different cabs recently. the stock is great. just testing into a 12" speaker for fun
@@landonbailey The head and factory cab are such a cool set, then being able to use that head with another cab is part of what is drawing me to it
you can go out to two speakers at the same time too. lots of options
You know, Billy Connolly started as a musician and became a comedian. I think I see you path Landon. Hilarious 😂
I always wanted an amp like this one. Looks and sounds great to me 👍
Well done video lando bud !!
No one is stocking this amp, right! I would love to try it.
ah k, so it's hard to get!
I brought mine cos of your videos , I think I’ve told you that?
nice! ya I think you mentioned it :)
greets feom Mexico this was cool man
👍😊🎸

If your amp has an effects loop then that's where the tremelo is usually preferred.. After the preamp, before the power amp section.
I'm with you brother, these are great amps for sure !
ya they're ok.
:)
@@landonbailey :-D
How this amp on playing in bands
depends on the band:
