DESCRIPTION

The MV50 Brian May is a unique and inspiring guitar amplifier that is the result of a collaboration between Vox and the legendary Sir Brian May from Queen, successfully encapsulating his iconic tone into the popular Vox MV50 tube amp. 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 new 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 recognisable 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). When combined with its matching speaker cabinet, the MV50 produces a 25w output at 8ohms, packing a large punch despite its small size. The MV50 Brian May's headphone/line out also features speaker emulation, so you have the option of recording directly from the amp head without needing to mic up the cab. Weighing just 540g (19oz) for the head and 3.9kg (8.6lbs) for the matching cab, this is one of the lightest tube setups available to guitarists, and certainly a lot lighter than Brian's on-stage trio of AC30s! You can truly take Brian's iconic tone with you wherever you go.

"It's perfect for any smaller show, and if you want to put a mic in front of it, it'll do for your big gigs as well. 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 and cab 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.
