Rock Tube Tone in the Palm of Your Hand

The Vox MV50 Rock mini electric guitar amplifier head ushers in a new level of professional-quality tones and convenience for guitarists chasing the gritty tones of rock 'n' roll. The MV50 Rock 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 goes from gritty and raunchy to all-out high gain, the MV50 Rock is the mini guitar head of your dreams.

True rock tone

Crank up the Vox MV50 Rock mini electric guitar amplifier head, and you'll immediately feel the power and punch that only a 50-watt amp aimed at overdriven rock 'n' roll can deliver. The amp's simple 3-control layout is very intuitive while being able to pull up vintage-style crunch and searing high gain with equal ease. Whether you want the old-school sound of a cranked British stack or the tight, modern tones of today's metal, check out the Vox MV50 Rock.

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 Rock 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 Rock 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 Rock 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
  • Weighs a little over 1 lb.

What is Demo Gear?

At Sweetwater, we're so picky that what we call a "demo" is actually better than what most music retailers sell as "new" gear! Our gear hasn't endured hundreds of people a week plunking away at all the keyboards, fumbling through Stairway to Heaven on every guitar or playing with every fader and knob on a mixer or control surface.

What demo means to us is that we've had it out of the box, or maybe it was in a customer's hands for a few days and isn't "factory fresh" as a result. Every demo item we sell has Sweetwater's 2-year Total Confidence Coverage™ warranty, and has been tested and verified up to "new" specs by our factory-authorized technicians to make sure it's in perfect working order before we ship it to you.

When you buy a Demo item at Sweetwater, you get:
  • 2-year Total Confidence Coverage Warranty™!
  • Products inspected and tested by our factory-authorized techs, guaranteed to function like new (or better)!
  • FREE shipping on most items
  • Equipment that will MEET or EXCEED your expectations!

One Amp That Does It All

I love my MV50 Rock. I took the handle off, and mounted it on my effects board with Velcro. Now, my rig consists of my Carvin 1x12 cab, my pedal board, and that's it. LOVE, the Impedance switch that turns it from a 12.5 watt, to a 25 watt, to a 50 watt amp. It will even drive my Carvin 4x12 half-stack. Pretty amazing amp, so small, and packs a huge punch. Perfect for my needs. I often use the Line-Out for recording, and I find that it's rare that I mic my cab anymore.
by Aerobatx from Arizona on

Love it!

I took a chance on this little amp and hit the jackpot. I play it through a Carvin closed back 1x12, and it sounds fantastic. I have a 2x12 Marshall Valvestate, a Fender Princeton, and an all tube Fender Supersonic. Humbuckers sound better on one than the others. Same with single coils. But EVERYTHING I play through this little Vox amp sounds great. I've started running my Helix Lt through it and am just blown away.

Wow

Set this up on 5 through a 4 x 12 blackstar cab at 4 ohms and literally had to dial it back down to 3 having underestimated its delivery.

Very pleased with the tone and amplitude it produces and can hide away in my backpack not even knowing it's there.

Great little unit!
by Chris on

This is black magic...

I've bought a good bit of gear from Sweetwater over the years, but I believe this is my first review. This little thing is absolutely amazing! I'm gobsmacked out how good it is.

I'm running it a 8 ohms (25 watts at this impedance) through a 1x12 Mesa Thiele, and it just blew me away. The little thing sounds great, fits in the palm of my hand, and has more than enough juice for practice and smaller gigs. Plus, it would easily fit in the tool box that I take with me to gigs, basically giving me a more than solid backup amp should my tube amp do what tube amps sometimes do.

The NuTube black magic responds enough like an actual tube that it cleans up nicely when you roll back the volume, and it's a vicious little bugger with the gain cranked. You probably couldn't do Meshuggah with it, but you could probably get through a set of Corrosion of Conformity and Black Sabbath covers with it if your mic was amped (and maybe if it wasn't depending).

Basically, if you're a gigging guitarist, you'd be nuts not to give these a look, if for nothing else to throw in the glove box for those "just in case" moments.

WOW!!

I was extremely skeptical, but I LOVE the sound of this amp. With my Little '59 Tele pickup and my 1x12 Heritage G12M 20 Watt sealed cab, I couldn't be happier. One of the ways I judge amps is how the B string sounds when I play songs like Unchained, and whatever this amp does.... it does it right!
This Nutube technology is extremely encouraging. It simply ROCKS!!!
