The Amp Head That Matches Your Lifestyle!

Vox's Night Train is no ordinary 15-watt all-tube guitar amplifier head. Vox teamed up with legendary amp designer Tony Bruno to design the perfect amp for the musician on the go. The Night Train weighs less than 17 lbs. and features an "armored box" design and an included padded carrying case, so you can take it anywhere. It sports a pair of EL84 power amplifier tubes and two 12AX7 preamplifier tubes - the same combination as Vox's AC15. Plus, you have the choice of a 15-watt mode or a more recording-friendly 7-watt mode with the Vox Night Train.

Vox Night Train 15-watt Tube Guitar Amplifier Head at a Glance:
  • Innovatively designed for the musician on the go
  • All tube tone - with the same tube configuration as the AC15
  • Two switchable power modes - 15 watt or 7.5 watt
  • Familiar Vox EQ controls with Bright/Thick switch
  • Both 8-ohm and 16-ohm speaker jacks for cabinet convenience

Innovatively designed for the musician on the go
Vox and renowned amplifier designer Tony Bruno joined forces to breathe new life into the guitar amplifier head. Recognizing that musicians are often on the go - jamming here, jamming there, and gigging everywhere - they designed the Night Train to pair up perfectly with that lifestyle. The Night Train weighs less than 17 lbs. and it features a rugged "armored box" design. The industrial vibe not only looks cool, but its diamond-mirrored finish with cut-out holes shows off that warm tube glow when you're playing your Night Train. Vox also included a padded carrying pad, so you can securely tote your Night Train wherever you go - with style.

All tube tone - with the same tube configuration as the AC15
While the Vox Night Train brings a new look to the Vox line, you can expect nothing but true Vox tone. Thanks to its EL84 power amplifier tube pair and 12AX7 preamplifier tube pair, the Vox Night Train features the same winning tube complement as Vox's classic AC15. Bring the Night Train everywhere from chime-like clean tones to warm overdrives - you'll love its signature, harmonically rich tube tone.

Two switchable power modes - 15 watt or 7.5 watt
On top of its portability and signature Vox tones, the Night Train also boasts flexibility. Right on the front panel, you can choose between Pentode Power or Triode Tone. Pentode Power pumps the Night Train at its full 15 watts of tube tone. But, in Triode Tone, you'll pull the amp back to 7.5 watts - perfect for recording or for practicing at more manageable volume levels. What's more, when the Night Train is in Triode Tone, the tube power stage relaxes a bit, giving way for more of a silky-smooth, mellow tube character.

Familiar Vox EQ controls with Bright/Thick switch
The Night Train's panel gives you Vox's usual complement of controls, including Volume, Gain, Treble, Middle, and Bass controls. Plus, the preamplifier section also features a Bright/Thick mode switch. In the Bright mode, you'll accentuate the Night Train's higher frequencies for a more ringing tone. But, in the Thick setting, you'll bypass the tone circuit to boost the gain and call up a chunkier, heavier sound.

Both 8-ohm and 16-ohm speaker jacks for cabinet convenience
Since there are both 8-ohm and 16-ohm speaker outputs onboard, you'll be ready to play nearly anywhere there's a cabinet - just show up with your Night Train, and you're off.

Sweetwater Advice

Trent Thompson
This little amp SCREAMS! It has all the things you love about a Vox in it, but with some serious gain (and volume) at your disposal. You can use this amp for any style of music and be blown away. Super clean to uber dirty, this thing is killer for live or studio tracking.
Brian Cravens
I CANNOT believe how good this sounds. As a former AC-15 owner (the platform for this head), I've got to say that it has a totally different vibe. Great clean on the bright setting at 15 watts/pentode mode. Distortion? Use the thick setting, and switch to triode mode (7.5 watts). This little rascal smokes through a Vox 2-12 cab, and is totally capable of cutting through onstage. No scales handy, but, despite its size (modern 2 slice toaster), it still weighs 17 lbs. These are real transformers inside - which us tweaky tube amp lovers know, is what makes a tube amp sound great. Hey Vox - send me one...

I through one with an Yngwie Strat, and it really punched. Awesome tone for articulate picking and thick full-singing sustain; plugged straight in with no effects.

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer knows all his products. I can call and ask him anything and he's on top of it. Some other places just want to sell you something, but I've found Sweetwater to be a helpful, professional company to work with.
