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.

  • Power Output: 2 watts RMS into 16 ohm or 1.5 watts RMS into 8 ohms

Perfect Practice Amp

by Ernie from Troy, MI

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 [-]

Sweet Spot

by Allen from Williston, ND

Music Background: Hobby Musician & Tech
Sounds Great with that tube amp touch. They did a good job setting the gain knob bias to get the desired sweet spot for clean vs. distortion. And within the distortion zone there is plenty of variatio... read more [+]n from light to thick. I'm using an efficient Eminence speaker, so even the claimed low wattage fills the livingroom, and can do feedback effects. close [-]

Neat package for the money

by Steve Hoover from Fountain Hills AZ

Music Background: Old gear head
This head has tons of gain but not in a metal sort of way. So much so, that I ended up substituting some NOS lower gain higher quality tubes. Its a little light on PS filtration as well. Packaging a... read more [+]nd construction are
very well done for this price point.

Not a bad bedroom amp. A likely candidate for some hacking if I could find a schematic. close [-]
