An Amazing Low-watt Amp Head!

Looking for the perfect low-power tube guitar amp head? Check out the Vox Lil' Night Train Head. The Lil' Night Train Head is a small, low-watt, and portable head that gives your axe kind of tone you'd expect from a much larger and louder amplifier. Genuine Vox quality to the core, the all-tube Lil' Night Train Head comes equipped with a pair of 12AX7 preamp tubes and a 12AU7 tube for the power amp - the perfect power amp tube for a 2-watt amp such as the Lil' Night Train Head. The Lil' Night Train Head's Bright mode and Thick mode give you access to a rich palette of tones.



Flip the Lil' Night Train Head to Bright, and you'll experience a chimey top-end boost that takes you back to the early days of rock. Bright mode also gives you a 2-band EQ for extra control over your sound. In Thick mode, the EQ gets cut out of the system and a substantial gain boost launches your tone into bluesy breakup and rock-star overdrive. At only 2 watts, the Lil' Night Train Head lets you enjoy these satisfyingly bold tones at a level your neighbors, children, and household pets will appreciate. And since the Lil' Night Train Head has both 8- and 16-ohm outputs, you can use it with a wide variety of extension cabinets.

What a great little amp!

by Paul Hartmann from Hyde Park, NY
February 17, 2013
Music Background: Serious hobbyist, light gigging
I'd read enough reviews to have a good feeling about springing for one of these hot little toasters, but couldn't believe what it could do when I actually plugged it in. My main amp is a TrainWreck R... read more [+]ocket clone...15/30 W, versatile, crisp and LOUD. This little amp can very nearly duplicate the tone and sonic quality of the TW without the structural damage that even 15 W can generate. I run it through a Weber 15"speaker and it has plenty of volume for a full band practice, though I wouldn't try to gig anything bigger than a coffee house open mic nite with it. I did upgrade the tubes, add a handle, and bought a soft side insulated lunch box to transport it, but at this price, Vox has a real winner. close [-]

Perfect Practice Amp

by Ernie from Troy, MI
January 25, 2012
Music Background: Hobbyist
Looks awesome, even on the junky 1x12 cabinet that I have it hooked up to.

Through a less-than-stellar speaker, it still sounds fantastic and is very easy to operate. I bought this with... read more [+] my son in mind who has started taking lessons and needed something to play through without being my AC15.

I have a fondness for Vox products and this one is the coolest of all the low-wattage heads out there.

Danielle, my Sales rep was also helpful in getting this order done as I had a gift certificate that I was not aware of in the system and that helped bring down my cost. close [-]

Great Tone for low volumes

by John Hamrin from Cape Cod, MA
November 21, 2012
Music Background: Hobbyist, 36 years of playing
I purchased this head for playing at low volumes in my home and it sounds amazing. Smaller than a toaster and yet it gets plenty loud enough for home use. You can also get a wide variety of tones from... read more [+] this little monster. I used it with a 4x8 cabinet and through a 1x12 cabinet and with both I was able to dial in just the tone I was looking for. The only thing I would like is an option for a foot switch to change from thick to bright, but for the price I can't complain. The controls are simple yet responsive. Both settings (thick & bright) sound great. Great for rock and blues. What a deal! I am very pleased. close [-]
