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
  • Easily drives any type of guitar speaker cabinet

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.

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.

Pedal Steel Amp

Sounds great for pedal steel, plenty loud enough to keep up with the drummer and stays clean. The design is a little quirky, and I wish it had reverb, but hey it's $ and fits in your seat. I'm running through a single 12" telonics speaker.
Rated 5/5

Excellent backup for an old tube amp

I have a 1967 Fender Twin Reverb that eats through tubes and can be quite unreliable. I bought this to run through the cabinet as a backup and it sounds fantastic. Really gets a nice tube sound and with a reverb and tremelo pedal in front it covers all the bases that the Twin does. It's plenty loud, I've been playing it around one quarter volume, I cranked it to half and it's earsplitting. Stayed clean even there, haven't tried it on full. It takes pedals really well, especially overdrive. Wish it had an effects loop, but otherwise no complaints.
