NAD Vox VX50BA

So after looking at the Vox VX50BA online for years, and shops never seeming to have stock. 

 

One of these Vox VX50BA came up for sale, cheap secondhand, not to far from where I live. So I had to go have a look and play with it.

 

I brought it home of course! Since being home I've put it through its paces. I have to say I am quite impressed by it. The AUX in volume is quite loud, so much so I had to turn down the volume on my phone quite a bit, which is good. The EQ is very effective for sculpting " your sound ".  The comp and drive do do their jobs well. Oh and this little amp can go loud.

 

This is going to be perfect for practice and going round a mates and jamming.

I've been using one of these for home practice for over a year. Great little amp. The volume always throws me when I plug my iPod into the Aux and the neighbours often get a blast of whatever I'm going to play along to, which drowns out the swearing as I turn the volume down on the pod. 😃 I've used it in band rehearsals (a 13 piece largely acoustic line-up) as it has enough quality volume to compete with the rest of the band (without drums). There's a 1/4" 'Direct Out' on the back which I've used to feed the band PA when we acquired a drummer. For gigs I used it as a monitor with the main volume being handled by the PA.

 

I bought mine 2nd hand and the power supply isn't the original, which is an 18v unit. Mine is running off a 15v supply as I can't find a replacement.

Yeah tell me about it, when I plugged in my phone for the first time yesterday, made me jump! A few swears words came out. When I get a chance I will see if it gets loud enough to be used in a band setting as a monitor. Earlier during practice, I used my drop pedal down to BEAD, the Vox handled it really well. I quite like the overall tones out of it, definitely warm tube tones, which is what it was designed for.

Back in the day we had VOX now we just have Vox.
