Overview

Vox is well known for their AC series of tube amps. The MV50 AC takes the iconic AC series tone and packs it inside a very compact lunchbox style amp head.

This amp head uses Korg Nutube techonology, which is a modern reproduction of tubes, with a smaller profile, longer life expectancy (30,000 hours), and using only 2% of electrical power compared to conventional tubes.

It is rated at 50-Watts with Class D type power section, and weighing in at a little over 21 ounces.
