Vox MV50 Rock with 1x8 Cabinet
Vox · amplifier
The Vox MV50 Rock with a V108 cabinet forms a compact head-and-cab stack, the MV50 Rock being an ultra-portable 50-watt Nutube head voiced for tight, midrange-forward British rock crunch and high gain. Paired with the small sealed cab, it makes a giggable miniature stack with a speaker-simulated output for direct recording, aimed at players wanting big rock tone in a tiny rig.
