Vox Mini Superbeetle Tone
The vacuum fluorescent display technology, or "Nutube" brings the vacuum tube sound and response to this amplifier, while eliminating the usual problems associated with a typical vacuum tube. You'll get sparkling, chimey sound that you usually find in tube amps as well. Lastly, adjust the amplitude of the tremolo, and you'll find that it also changes the depth of the Nutube distortion, varying the sound, just like a true tube driven tremolo effect. We thought this was a pretty cool feature for a non-tube amp.
Why We Like It
The Mini SuperBeetle can be paired with nearly any type of extension cabinet, including 1x12”, 2x12”, or even 4x12”! It also features a headphone/line out jack, making this compact unit the perfect amp for practicing or recording silently at home or on the road.
You Might Also Consider
Keep things compact but with a lot more gain with the MV50 High Gain head. This amp is a compact analog pre-amp also featuring Nutube technology, 50 watts of power, volume, tone, and gain controls, and an EQ switch. This is a great choice if you've already got a cabinet to plug into!
