Designed and developed in collaboration with the legendary guitarist himself, guitarists everywhere can now enjoy Brian May's iconic massive rock tones in a tube amp that can be held in the palm of your hand.
Powered by Vox's Nutube technology -- a revolutionary vacuum tube that produces authentic tube tone at a fraction of the size and power -- the MV50 Brian May is based on the MV50 circuitry and AC30 tone, but with the addition of a KAT (Knight Audio Technologies) treble booster, which can be toggled on or off, allowing guitarists to achieve Brian May's instantly recognizable tone.
With a refined control panel featuring gain, tone and volume controls, the MV50 also features an EQ switch that can be toggled from flat (perfect for larger cabs) to deep (ideal for getting a deeper tone even from a smaller cab). The MV50 packs a large punch despite its small size, with a 50w output at 4 ohms, making it perfect for gigging, rehearsals, and even for home practice. And with cabinet simulation in the headphone/line out, the MV50 Brian May can be recorded directly, without needing to mic up a cab.
Weighing in at only 540g (19oz), the MV50 BM is one of the lightest tube amps available, making Brian May's iconic tone truly portable. "I wouldn't mind going on some future stadium gig and seeing how this shapes up." Brian May.
With eye-catching red casing the MV50 Brian May provides a visual nod to his legendary 'Red Special' guitar. The face of the amp is finished in Vox's quintessential diamond-patterned cloth, complemented with Brian May's signature, to represent his personal approval of the amp which bears his name.
The Iconic Sound of Queen;
Brian May has been an important artist and collaborator with VOX for decades, with his iconic sound based on combining his signature guitar, a treble booster, and the Nutube preamp technology. This amp head was co-designed and voiced by Brian May, and provides a truly authentic hard rock sound that captures the iconic Queen's guitar tone in an ultraportable form factor that can be taken anywhere.
Nutube Technology Explained;
Looking more like a chip than a conventional valve, the Nutube is a vacuum tube utilizing technology from vacuum fluorescent displays. As with conventional vacuum tubes, the Nutube is constructed with an anode, grid, and filament, and operates as a complete triode tube. Furthermore, it generates the response as well as the same rich harmonic characteristics of conventional vacuum tubes. Its miniature size reduces power consumption over conventional tubes, and its construction is said to offer up to 30,000 hours of continuous operating life.
