VOX MV50-BQ Boutique Compact Head Guitar Amplifier Featuring Nutube Technology. The sound of the legendary boutique amp is condensed. Despite its lightweight design of 540g, it has a large output of 50W.
Equipped with an EQ switch for optimal sound according to cabinet size. Equipped with line/headphone out that condenses the know-how of recording engineers. Explanation by the manufacturerMV50 new vacuum tube Nutube, which overturns the concept of guitar amps, is installed in the preamplifier. A new vacuum tube created through the joint development of KORG and Noritake Ise Electronics. Like conventional vacuum tubes, it has an anode grid filament structure, operates as a triode vacuum tube, and like conventional vacuum tubes, it produces rich overtones unique to vacuum tubes. By applying Noritake Ise Electronics' fluorescent display tube technology, we have devised its structure to save power, reduce size, and improve quality compared to conventional vacuum tubes. I'm not fooled by the size and looks that are far from conventional guitar amps. The sound that comes out is authentic. Boasting a massive output of 50 watts, the MV50 has an unmistakable vacuum tube sound. With the MV50, you can play with authentic tube sound anytime, anywhere, from your home to the studio or stage. Since its announcement in 2015, the new vacuum tube Nutube has been featured in various media and events, and has attracted the attention of engineers and manufacturers around the world. The MV50 is equipped with Nutube, which was jointly developed by KORG and Noritake Ise Electronics, as a preamplifier. By taking advantage of Nutube's characteristics such as miniaturization, low voltage, and power saving, a head amplifier of this size was realized. The characteristics of vacuum tube sound, such as rich harmonic components and sound pressure, are still intact. Like conventional vacuum tubes, Nutube has an anode-grid filament structure, operates as a triode vacuum tube, and like conventional vacuum tubes, it produces the rich overtones characteristic of vacuum tubes. By applying the fluorescent display tube technology of Noritake Ise Electronics Co. We have devised its structure and succeeded in saving power, reducing size, and improving quality compared to conventional vacuum tubes. In the MV50, we are particular about analog specifications down to the details of the parts. Starting with Nutube, circuits are built with a huge number of analog elements. In addition, by installing a special circuit with a constantly changing operating point, it reproduces the wonderful dynamic characteristics of a tube guitar amp.Here is the real analog sound that has been favored by guitarists for more than half a century. In the case of small-sized cabinets, the low frequencies tend to be weak and the high frequencies tend to be emphasized, and in some cases, it may give the impression of being cheap.
When connecting to a small cabinet, such as the new VOX BC108 cabinet, it is possible to suppress high frequencies while correcting low frequencies by selecting the DEEP mode of the EQ switch. Considering the possibility of connecting to a large cabinet with four 12-inch speakers, the EQ switch also has a FLAT mode. As a result, it is possible to obtain a sound that takes advantage of the characteristics of the speaker cabinet without compromising the potential of the MV50. The image is AC type. The MV50 also features line/headphone out, so you can connect it directly to a mixer or audio interface, or use it as a recording amplifier. It is also equipped with a cabinet simulator circuit that perfectly reproduces the atmosphere and cabinet characteristics. It is a full-fledged recording studio, and it is possible to record with authentic sound because it is simulated through high-end microphones and vintage microphone preamps, including miking technology by skilled engineers. Japanese electrical products typically operate at 100V input voltage (Type A plug).If the voltage is not specified in the description or Item Specifics, the product may only support 100V input. A voltage converter may be required to use 100V devices in your country. International Buyers - Please Note.
