Just a quick note to say that I bought one of these out of curiosity and quickly decided I was keeping it.
I was sick of seeing our bass player with his ultra light Mark Bass gear so I began to look for solutions.
I first tried it with my lightweight Mesa Boogie 1 x 12 cabinet, loaded with 8ohm Eminence Lil Texas Neo speaker, it sounded fabulous, even though at 8ohms only half the power is available but even 25 watts did the job with my band at the pub.
This led me to sourcing a 2x12 cabinet, in which I placed two 8ohm Celestion Neodog speakers, one a vintage, the other not. With a total load of 4ohms the Vox MV-50 delivered it's full 50 watts of crystal clean power and I will be using it instead of the back breaking AC30s that I am putting up for sale, that's how good they are.
You can get nice Vox matching cabinets for these amps, but I'm happy the way I did it to suit my purpose.
For a home or bedroom player, there's a small 8" cab available, which at last is something to give the Vox tone at a low price and with little weight or bulk. There are also dedicated larger cabinets for gigging.
I chose the CLEAN version of this amp, but there is an AC version which runs into distortion just as an AC 30 does when cranked up and there's also a ROCK version, but I don't envisage there will be any interest in that one here. Costing between £179 and £199 depending on which model you choose, these are recommended.
The amp fits on the palm of your hand and weighs 1lb 1oz. There are no frills such as reverb or tremolo, it's just an amp with three knobs. All effects need to be added via pedals or echo boxes, but most people here have those.
