Model Overview
The key thing to understand about the VOX VX50-AG is this: it’s been designed with a genuine love for acoustic sound and an ear for every nuance of live performance. The developers have considered everything that a musician typically needs in real-life situations. On one hand, it’s the kind of amp you can set up at home and play through effortlessly, without fussing over cables and settings. On the other, it’s a dependable workhorse, equally at home in rehearsals or small gigs.
With 50 watts of power, your guitar will project with confidence and depth even when playing alongside other instruments. At the heart of the sound is a specially designed 8-inch speaker, tailored for acoustic tone reproduction. This means your instrument’s natural colour is preserved, coming across as if you were playing without any amplification at all.
Nutube technology recreates the qualities of valve sound, bringing subtle harmonic overtones that imbue your tone with warmth and authenticity. Unlike traditional valves, it avoids the issues of heavy weight and maintenance demands, giving you the benefits without the drawbacks.
The dual-channel flexibility is another strong point. You can connect your acoustic guitar while simultaneously using a microphone, making it a complete live solution for solo performers. And thanks to the onboard effects, you can enhance your playing with space and texture, all without extra gear.
Another bonus is its size and weight. Lighter than many modern laptops, it’s effortlessly portable for lessons, rehearsals or gigs. Despite its lightness, the cabinet is tough and hard-wearing, built from a special polymer material, ensuring durability against knocks and regular transport.
Who is it for?
If you’re just starting out and not sure which amp to go for, the VOX VX50-AG is a perfect entry point. It’s easy to use, stripped of unnecessary complications, and helps beginners focus purely on playing. Yet as your skills develop, it will continue to impress with capabilities fit for live performance.
Home players and self-taught guitarists will love its grab-and-go convenience and instant playability. Professional guitarists will appreciate its faithful acoustic tone and detailed expression. Session musicians will find it a reliable tool that’s simple to transport between studios. Sound engineers and producers will value it as a practical solution for straightforward guitar or vocal recordings in the studio.
