Vox Night Train 50 Brings GIRTH | Vox NT50 Overpowers NT15

gear-vault.com

The Vox Night Train 50 charms with its classic tube tone and clean simplicity, standing out with its new "girth" channel for high gain lovers. While the aesthetic is undeniably sleek and the tone rich, some features like the Thick switch seem redundant. A solid choice for Vox enthusiasts craving more power, though potential reliability concerns warrant consideration.

Vox Night Train NT50H & V212NT review | MusicRadar

musicradar.com

The Vox Night Train 50 excels as a versatile amp head, blending classic Vox aesthetics with modern power. Musicians will appreciate its wide tonal range, from crisp cleans to thick rock drives, bolstered by features like a footswitchable Thick mode and an effects loop. It's perfect for classic rock and blues gigs, offering substantial headroom and volume. However, be cautious of the exposed, potentially vulnerable knobs, and note the lack of an included gigbag. Overall, this amp is a compelling choice for those seeking a reliable performance amp with a punchy, vintage-inspired tone.
