The VOX MV50 Rock is a miniature amplifier head which engenders the classic sound of a high-gain British tube amplifier. Measuring only 5.3 x 3.0 x 3.9”, this amplifier head provides 50W of power and is capable of driving cabinets at four, eight, and 16 Ohms. The amplifier accomplishes this feat thanks in no small part to an all-analog preamp circuit utilizing Nutube technology, as well as analog components which reproduce the dynamic character of a traditional British tube amplifier. A class D power amp complements the preamp, giving the MV50 the ability to produce enough volume for any situation and respond to the nuances of your guitar, as well as the dynamics of your playing technique. In addition to delivering warm and natural clean tones, when driven to its hilt and played aggressively, the MV50 will respond with the pleasing overdrive, grit, and harmonics you'd expect from a British amp. It's quite suitable for driving riffs and soloing.

The MV50 Rock provides one 1/4" guitar input, one 1/4" speaker output, and a 1/4" headphone/line output. Gain, tone, and volume controls are provided to tweak the amp's sound and output. A VU-style meter shows the output levels at any given time, while an impedance switch on the back of the amplifier allows you to raise or lower the resistance to interface with compatible cabinets.

To suit a wide variety of speaker cabinets, an EQ switch on the rear of the amp head has been provided, giving you two tone-shaping options. Deep mode puts the emphasis on the low frequency range and is particularly useful with smaller cabinets; Flat mode, on the other hand, allows you to take full advantage of a larger speaker’s inherent tonal characteristics. The 1/4" headphone/line output utilizes a cabinet simulation circuit to offer you the full sound of an amplifier/head combo when routing signal to headphones, DIs, recording interfaces, mixers, PAs, and more.

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.

Q: 3. Using the E-Image Aluminum tripod (#EIGA230PTZ) w/ QR Plate. Can I mount 2 PTZ cameras?

A: Yes, you can attach the Tether Tools Rock Solid 4-Head Tripod Cross Bar onto the E-Image Aluminum Tripod with Rising Center Column & QR Plate for PTZ Cameras (B&H # EIGA230PTZ). The only issue is that the Tether Tools tripod has a 3/8" screw, so if your PTZ camera has a 1/4" screw opening, you will need a head that changes from 3/8" to 1/4". For example, the Leofoto LH-25 Mini Ball Head with Quick Release Plate (https://bhpho.to/3McfiPK) can do this.
