The MV50 Brian May is a unique and inspiring guitar amplifier that is the result of a collaboration between Vox and the legendary Sir Brian May from Queen, successfully encapsulating his iconic tone into the popular Vox MV50 tube amp.

Key Features

  • Weighing in at only 540g, the MV50 BM is one of the lightest tube amps available, making Sir Brian May’s iconic tone truly portable
  • Recreates the unique sound of Brian’s Red Special and cranked AC30 signal chain.
  • Eye-catching red casing provides a visual nod to the legendary ‘Red Special’ guitar.
  • NuTube powered with a switchable treble boost
  • 50w RMS @ 4ohm
  • Gain, tone and volume controls
  • EQ (flat/deep)

Designed and developed in collaboration with the legendary guitarist himself, guitarists everywhere can now enjoy Sir Brian May’s iconic massive rock tones in a tube amp that can be held in the palm of your hand!

Powered by Vox’s Nutube technology – a revolutionary new vacuum tube that produces authentic tube tone at a fraction of the size and power – the MV50 Brian May is based on the MV50 circuitry and AC30 tone, but with the addition of a KAT (Knight Audio Technologies) treble booster, which can be toggled on or off, allowing guitarists to achieve Brian May’s instantly recognisable tone.

With a refined control panel featuring gain, tone and volume controls, the MV50 also features an EQ switch that can be toggled from flat (perfect for larger cabs) to deep (ideal for getting a deeper tone even from a smaller cab).

With a 50w output at 4 ohms, the MV50 packs a large punch despite its small size, making it perfect for gigging, rehearsals, and even for home practice. And with cabinet simulation in the headphone/line out, the MV50 Brian May can be recorded directly, without needing to mic up a cab.

Sir Brian May

Amp Heads

An amp head contains the core tone and power of a guitar amplifier without the built-in speakers, allowing you to pair it with the cabinet of your choice. This setup offers greater flexibility over sound and volume, as different speaker cabinets can dramatically change the feel and character of the amp. Amp heads are available in valve, solid-state, and hybrid designs, ranging from low-wattage studio models to high-powered touring rigs. They’re ideal for players who want a modular setup, precise control over their tone, and the ability to adapt their rig to different venues, cabinets, or recording situations.

Amps

Guitar amps cover everything needed to amplify, shape, and project your guitar sound, from small practice setups to full stage and studio rigs. In this category you’ll find combo amps, separate amp heads and speaker cabinets, covering valve, solid-state, and hybrid designs, each offering a different feel and response. You’ll also see modelling and digital amps, built-in effects, footswitches, attenuation solutions, replacement speakers, valves, and essential accessories to keep an amp performing at its best. Whether you’re chasing pristine cleans, classic crunch, or modern high-gain tones, guitar amps and related gear are all about finding the right balance of power, tone, and control for the way you play.
