Gearank High Notes

• 2018.11: Equal Highest Rated Keyboard Amp Between $200 and $300

Gearank Recommendation

The Vox VX50KB appeared on our recommended list for Keyboard Amps from November 2018 until April 2019 when it was out-ranked by other amps.

Overview

The Vox VX50KB breaks with keyboard amp tradition and instead of trying to faithfully reproduce the input signal, it actually adds warmth with it's use of old vacuum tube technology which is usually found mostly on guitar amps these days.

It provides independent volume control over all 3 channels, however the 3-band EQ applies to the master output so you can't EQ channels independently.
