Clean Tube Tone in the Palm of Your Hand

The Vox MV50 Clean mini electric guitar amplifier head ushers in a new level of professional-quality tones and convenience for guitarists chasing high-headroom clean tones. The MV50 Clean utilizes a Nutube in the preamp section for true tube performance, sound, and feel. But the kicker is that it does it all in a package that weighs just over a pound and fits in the palm of your hand. If you're looking for a tone that works as well for clean styles as it does as a pedal platform, the MV50 Clean is the mini guitar head of your dreams.

True clean tone

Vox knows a thing or two about great tube clean tones. Their combo amplifiers have been one of the defining clean guitar amps since the 1960s. It's with that in mind that they voiced their MV50 Clean mini electric guitar amplifier head. Thanks to the tube-based preamp, this tiny powerhouse delivers rich and sparkling sounds with a huge amount of headroom. This amp is a perfect tonal partner if you're in need of an amp for jazz, old-school country, or other cleaner styles. And it's an ideal option for players needing a neutral pedal-platform amp.

Nutube technology

In a world of great-sounding digital options, it's always refreshing to find groundbreaking technology that still adheres to the "tubes are better" mentality. Vox knows this as well as any amplifier company and has been integrating real tube tone into their digital and analog amps for years. The MV50 Clean 50-watt mini electric guitar amplifier head follows suit with a Nutube located in its preamp section. This delivers the punchy feel and rich overtones you'd expect from anything bearing the Vox logo. These MV50 amplifiers are definitely creating a buzz around Sweetwater.

Conveniently small footprint

For an electric guitar amplifier head that pushes 50 watts of power, the Vox MV50 Clean is about as small as they come. By utilizing their Nutube technology and a Class D power section, Vox is able to cram enough power and tone into this amp to power any electric guitar speaker cabinet, even at performance volumes. Not gigging lately? The cab-emulated line/headphone output sounds fantastic for practice, at-home playing, and recording. And Vox puts it all into an amp head that comes in at just a touch over a pound.

Vox MV50 Clean Mini Electric Guitar Amplifier Head Features:

  • 50-watt mini guitar amplifier with real tube tone
  • Unbelievably small and lightweight
  • Nutube technology supplies a true tube-amp performance
  • Class D power section keeps the weight down while pushing plenty of power

Reviews

Vox MV50 Clean amp
I am surprised at the power and soununid of this amp. I play pedal steel and I have several amps, tube and solid state. The little Vox admittedly doesn't have the tone of my other tube amps, it has a very pleasing sound. I have been using it through a 12 inch JBL D123 speaker and it makes for a highly portable good sounding combination. I do like the Vox MV50 Clean amp.
Music background: Pedal steel guitar, Gospel and country.
Great Lil' Bedroom Amp
I got this amp with the intention to use in my bedroom. I enjoy a bit of practice to end my day before I doze off.

I have the MV50 Clean and the BC108 speaker set up on a shelving unit right next to my bed.

The clean is the best and I use a mini reverb and delay pedal in front of the amp. I run the volume just past 1/2 throttle and it is plenty loud. Sometimes I use the headphone output and unplug the speaker for silent practice.

I wish the power switch was on the front, it is a very small slider switch on the back and kind of a hassle to operate.

Overall I think this is a great little amp. It does exactly what I want it to do. The size is perfect, cute and compact.

Headphones only player Love this thing
Yes, 90 % of my playing is with headphones. I've tried MANY small amps and heads and this is BY FAR the truest sounding, clean amp I have played on that has a headphone out. PERIOD. It's a very clean amp, works well with pedals. I prefer a cleaner, tube amp kind of grit, by itself, this MV50 will not get dirty. Just a great source for me at home to then color with pedals. I also use a Spark amp, a few of the orange micro's and some others. This is my go to for warmth, jazz or SRV starting point. I've had mine for a few years, for my use it's been unbeatable.

5 Years No Regrets
I have 3 MV50 cleans. 1 spare and two mounted on different pedalboards. I actually gig with them. Plenty enough volume for me and it handles pedals well. On big stages I have them mike the cabinet which has a Celestion Copperback 250 4ohm. So I get the full 50 watts. I added an inline power switch and the end of the cable before the outlet for easier power off/on. This old man no longer dragging and lifting heavy amplifiers.
Music background: 40+ year singer songwriter guitar player recording artist producer.
5 years later, still a force of nature
Five years with no issues. I run this little head through a Seismic open-back cabinet with a single 4 Ohm Jensen 12" speaker (in order to get the full 50 W of clean headroom). The power, clarity, and projection of this mini-monster are nothing short of jaw dropping. I run the signal through a 29 Pedals EUNA, an inexpensive analog reverb, an old German-made compressor, and a Wampler Triple Wreck pedal. I am constantly asked what I'm using for gear. I use it for rehearsal in a loud room, but this little unit is a fantastic backup option if your stage head breaks down.
