    That’s a gorgeous lil’ unit. As someone who just plays at home, this would actually be perfect for me (and my daughter). I’ll have to check on pricing over here. Thanks for the enthusiastic demo, Andy.

    Demoing how the volume compares while one is speaking was a good idea. Helped this to be a more comprehensive demo.

    Ok, to my aging ears, that little thing sounds spectacular. Love it. Also, and I’m not saying you’re a better bassist than guitarist, but your playing was great! Really, you had me at My Sharona, to be honest.

    Any amp with a fuzz switch is an immediate W, regardless of the quality of fuzz. Love that Squier bass btw!

    I don’t understand why Vox don’t make full-format versions of these. The original Super Beatle was a “stack”, several feet tall. One like that would easily be large enough for gigging. These tiny ones are cool, but only practical for studio or practice use.

  • @kingstumble

    Odd that Vox have chosen to put an 8" speaker in this but a 10" in the guitar version.

    Ironically, these small bass and guitar amps were patterned after the The Beatles, by request for much more power, wattage and volume "Super Beatle" to play the larger ( to stadium size ) concerts they were doing later in their touring. I kindof laugh looking at Paul's current setup with rows of Mesa speakers. I don't know what's powering those, but I think Paul will never allow himself to be underpowered AGAIN.

    Sounds nice n crisp. What if you added some foam inside the cab to keep it from farting out at higher volumes?

    I'd go with the Ampeg Micro CL (100w, 2x10).
    It costs about £70 less than the Vox (50w, 1x8") and you get a lot more amp.

  • @mikenash7049
    @mikenash7049 4 місяці тому

    Great video. You say it's not loud enough to gig with, but how big a gig are you thinking of? Would it be loud enough to play at a pub gig, for instance?

  • @leoneddy1492
    @leoneddy1492 Рік тому

    Great Video , I take it the head and cab can not be bought individually ? and I don't think you covered the rear panel of the amp head enough, ie I believe there is an output jack for extension speakers and impedance ratings listed next to it.? and I presume it would cut out the 8" speaker cab does it? ,

  • @leoneddy1492
    @leoneddy1492 Рік тому

    Mentioned is a VOX 10" ? VOX list it as 8" and at 4 Ohms to give you 50 Watts (so If you want to use using an 8 Ohm extension cab you'll be down to 25 Watts.)

    That pretendy Hofner bass really captures the sound of a few large elastic bands stretched over a cardboard box. 😅
    I mean there's a place for everything in a mix somewhere, & it was only when you brought out the P Bass that I knew to attribute it to the guitar rather than the amplifier. Quite fun though.
