Last, but definitely not least, VOX’s got the SoundBox Mini. If you want to practice in style, the Soundbox Mini is shaped like an old school boom box. A “grab-n-go” media player with optional battery power. The SoundBox Mini can be used to play along with MP3’s with guitar, bass, or any other instrument, including vocals. Eight on-board effects including delay and reverb make it easy to dial in the sound you’re looking for.

The Night Train G2’s two-channel design delivers not only classic VOX clean and crunch sounds, but also modern high-gain sounds as well. The GIRTH channel has a powerful, modern high-gain sound that’s ideal for the guitarist who seeks an even heavier sound. The BRIGHT channel provides VOX’s distinctive clean/crunch sounds and also features a THICK mode that bypasses the tone control circuit and boosts the gain to obtain a thicker tone, for a rich variety of tonal character. An optional VFS2A foot switch can be used to conveniently toggle between the two channels during live performance.

A digital reverb designed exclusively by VOX for this series has been added to all models for road-ready reliability and studio-quality reverb sounds. For the guitarist who wishes to integrate pedals and outboard effects, the Night Train G2 amps provide an FX loop. The NT50H-G2 also includes a DI output that can be connected to a mixer or PA system.

The optional, dedicated speaker cabinets are a perfect match for the amplifier heads, both aesthetically and sonically. The V212NT-G2 contains two G12H anniversary model speakers that were specially produced to commemorate the 70th anniversary of Celestion, and whose voicing complements the NT50H-G2. The V112NT-G2 contains one classic Celestion G12M greenback speaker. Both cabinets feature a rounded, retro exterior.

The Night Train G2 series amplifier heads feature a black gloss finish; the combo amps and cabinets feature a rounded retro look with VOX black diamond grille cloth. Both are equipped with suitcase-type handles.

Each channel is equipped with its own Volume control, and the Top Boost channel offers interactive Treble and Bass tone controls.
