VOX / MV50-HG

This MV series High Gain type model is equipped with the new Nutube vacuum tube in the preamp. This model truly brings together the best of modern technology with its compact size, low voltage and low power consumption.

■MV50 High Gain delivers a powerful high-gain sound
If you want a high-gain sound that is indispensable in the modern music scene, we recommend the MV50 High Gain! Equipped with a MID CONTROL SWITCH that boosts/cuts the mid-range, it allows for a wide range of expression, from an edgy sound that emphasizes high and low tones that are perfect for riffs to a thick sound that is perfect for leads.

■Design philosophy that is thoroughly committed to analog specifications
With the MV50, we have paid attention to completely analog specifications, even down to the smallest details of the parts. All circuits, including the Nutube, are constructed with a huge number of analog elements. In addition, by equipping it with a special circuit whose operating point is constantly changing, the wonderful dynamic characteristics of a vacuum tube guitar amplifier are reproduced. This is the real analog sound that has been supported by guitarists for over half a century.

■Power amplifier section that reproduces even the dynamism of a vacuum tube amplifier
The MV50 is equipped with a low-heat, efficient class D power amplifier. This amplifies without compromising the characteristics of the vacuum tube sound centered around the Nutube. In addition, it even reproduces the load fluctuation characteristics seen in vacuum tube power amplifiers. This circuit is the very factor behind the dynamics of vacuum tube amplifiers, such as the fat drive feeling, delicate picking nuances, and quick response.

■ Equipped with an EQ switch that allows you to obtain the optimal sound according to the cabinet size
Small-sized cabinets tend to have weak low frequencies and emphasize high frequencies, which can sometimes give a cheap impression. When connecting to a small-sized cabinet, such as VOX's new cabinet BC108, you can select the DEEP mode of the EQ switch to correct the low frequencies while suppressing the high frequencies. In addition, the EQ switch also has a FLAT mode, considering the possibility of connecting to a large-sized cabinet such as one equipped with four 12-inch speakers. This allows you to obtain a sound that makes the most of the characteristics of the speaker cabinet without compromising the potential of the MV50.

■ Cabinet simulator that is useful for line recording
The MV50 is also equipped with a line/headphone out, so you can connect it directly to a mixer or audio interface and use it as an amplifier for recording. Of course, it also has a cabinet simulator circuit that perfectly reproduces the airiness and characteristics of the cabinet. It is simulated in a professional recording studio, using high-end microphones and vintage microphone preamps, including the miking techniques of experienced engineers, so you can instantly record with a professional sound.
