Description

The Vox MV50 High Gain is a ultra-compact 50-watt guitar head voiced specifically for modern, high-gain tones. Powered by Voxs innovative Nutube technology, it delivers the feel, punch and saturation of a valve amp in a rugged unit that weighs just 540 grams. Whether you are riffing tight rhythms or soaring with saturated leads, the MV50 High Gain gives you serious firepower in a format that fits in your gig bag. Despite its tiny footprint, the MV50 High Gain is designed to keep up on stage, in the studio, or at home. Flexible output options let you hook up to a range of cabs, while the headphone and line out make silent practice and direct recording simple. With intuitive controls and a dedicated mid control switch for sculpting your sound, it is a powerful solution for players who need modern gain without the bulk. High-Gain Tones for Modern Players As its name suggests, the MV50 High Gain is voiced for saturated, high-gain sounds that suit modern rock and metal styles. From tight, percussive rhythm tones to thick, singing leads, it delivers the aggression and sustain you need while retaining clarity and note definition. It is ideal if you want a compact head that still feels like a serious high-gain rig under your fingers. Nutube Valve Technology At the heart of the MV50 High Gain is a Nutube 6P1, a next-generation vacuum tube that provides genuine valve-style response and harmonic richness. Nutube delivers the fat drive and dynamic feel associated with traditional valves, while allowing Vox to keep the amp incredibly light and efficient. The carefully designed analogue circuitry around the Nutube ensures fast response and expressive dynamics that react to your picking and guitar volume. Mid Control Switch for Versatile Voicing The MV50 High Gain features a dedicated mid control switch that boosts or cuts the midrange to reshape your core tone. Engage it for an aggressive, scooped sound with tight lows and cutting highs that is perfect for riffing, or use it to thicken the midrange for focused, vocal lead tones. This simple switch greatly expands the tonal range, making it easy to adapt the amp to different guitars, cabs and musical styles. Portable Powerhouse Weighing only 540 g and measuring just 135 x 100 x 75 mm, the MV50 High Gain is built for players who need real power in a highly portable format. With up to 50 watts of output at 4 ohms, it is capable of driving a suitable cab with authority. The compact size makes it a great grab-and-go solution for rehearsals, gigs, and studio work, while the headphone and line out provide additional flexibility for practice and recording. Key Features High-Gain Voicing for Modern Music – The MV50 High Gain is tuned specifically for saturated, high-gain tones, giving you the tight low end, cutting highs and sustain needed for contemporary rock and metal. It delivers aggressive rhythm sounds and thick lead tones without sacrificing clarity. Nutube 6P1 Valve Technology – A genuine Nutube 6P1 provides authentic valve-style warmth, harmonic complexity and dynamic response. This next-generation tube design allows the amp to remain compact and efficient while still feeling and sounding like a traditional valve head. MID CONTROL SWITCH for Flexible EQ – The onboard mid control switch lets you boost or cut the midrange to suit your playing style. Use it to create scooped, aggressive tones for riffing or to emphasise mids for punchy, singing leads, making it easy to dial in the right sound for any situation. Ultra-Compact 50W Head – Delivering up to 50 watts at 4 ohms in a unit that weighs just 540 g, the MV50 High Gain is incredibly portable yet powerful. With speaker and headphone|line outputs, it is equally at home on stage, in rehearsal rooms, or for late-night practice.

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.
