Vox NEW! VOX Micro Superbeetle 5/20 Watt Rechargeable
Vox · amplifier
The Vox Micro SuperBeetle is a battery-powered, Bluetooth-enabled guitar mini-stack delivering up to 20 watts through its detachable head-and-cabinet pairing (1x1.5-inch speaker in the head, 1x4-inch woofer in the cabinet), or up to 5 watts using just the head's built-in speaker alone. The rechargeable battery provides roughly 4 hours of use, and Bluetooth connectivity allows streaming backing tracks or music directly through the amp. Distinct from the mains-powered, bass-focused Mini SuperBeetle Bass, this is a portable, guitar-specific practice amp built around detachability and wireless convenience.
What stands out
“Primary use case is portable practice, busking, or casual jamming where Bluetooth streaming and battery power matter more than raw output”
