Vox · amplifier
The Vox Mini SuperBeetle Bass (MSB50BA) is a 50-watt bass mini-stack (25W at 8 ohms, 12.5W at 16 ohms) built around a Nutube-powered preamp for warm, vintage-style tube character without a traditional tube's size or heat. It pairs a 1x8-inch VOX Original speaker with a 4-band tone stack (Bass, Lo-Mid, Hi-Mid, Treble) plus dedicated Compressor and Fuzz switches, giving bassists onboard dynamics control and a built-in dirt option not found on most compact bass combos.
