VOX VX50 GTV

Great delivery from dv247, came from Germany and saw it tracked all the way - came with an EU plug but easily solved with adapter, plug change or changing the 3-pin laptop style cable with another similar.

As for the actual product, the body seems to made entirely of a thick plastic material, unlike most amps I've seen before. Most likely Vox chose this for its acoustic characteristics because it's so ugly and horrible to touch that I simply refuse to accept that it could be a stylistic choice of any quality amp manufacturer.

There is a constant hum when power is above 25W, with nothing plugged in, but you'd likely never use this loudness in a setting where it would be noticeable (I.e. at a gig with other instruments) and does not affect clarity of the instrument. Also added buzz when volume in turned up past 3/4. At home these can be tweaked pretty easily , with the gain, to make sure you don't hear feedback/buzz/hum at reasonable volumes.

Effects are tricky to work with at first, you have amp emulator so you can use some Vox amp sounds like AC30, and other sounds which sound like other classic brand amps, they are all pretty good and give a unique sound from one another, echo effects are useful but if you're doing anything serious it's obviously recommended that you find tune the effect frequency in software, this is just for practicing and trying new sounds, same with the other effects.

Overall these effects are quite limited but honestly it's exactly what you'd expect from an amp of this price range, especially a 50W sub £200 amp.
