USE

The use is very simple is connected and it is easy to play the right sound

SOUNDS

This amp is perfect for all roots rock blues styles ...
IT has the sound but cons I have a very audible ground noise that prevents me enjoy

NOTICE GLOBAL

I for 1 month is very good with a very good value for money but the sound mass that he clears prevents me from ex ploite its potential

amp head lamp, 15w switchable in 7.5w Equalizer 3-band mode or distortion clean, bright and thick with vox.

UTILIZATION

it could not be simpler config ... you plug in the HP (112NT vox bought for the occasion) into 16 ohms please. Heating lamps expected, you put your jack with his guitar at the end, and the strings on guitar.

SOUNDS

The vox sound? Yes and no. Vox sound, of course, because that's what it says on the plate mark, but the limit is that, it is underestimated. The range of sound is breathtaking. The clean almost like a dry scraper, the fat has keith richards, dirty spot that way metallica with the gain knob donf ...

A killer. An outgoing debutant transistors would never imagine that this amp only 15wtts so the volume ... There's enough to keep a head 100w transistor seriously. The attenuator is frankly welcome, no one benefits from the district rioting. I seem to exaggerate? appointment at the corner music shop, test it with a gibson, turn pentode, thick and volume donf you will see what I mean ... not for nothing that it is so noted. Ruffling power, and, above all, the power is not transferred to the quality, the bazaar is full.

this little toaster (if AC has the form anyway?) is exceptionnel.Mais the bread, he no grid, he sends.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had a few days, I am more digital player (axeFXII), I bought it for a particular occasion.

I find it so much more fun than I expatiate on the flaws that I found:

- The thick mode (distortion) is good, but ... I do not know, it could have been a little more boost, fall into the big big sound spot and record the return oranges yves duteil heads.

- The reverb, delay ... it lacks. I have an MXR chorus that fits him like a glove pedal, I have not suffered, but if it is not, purchase necessary! the first of your pedalboard!

- A general point to vox, not for this amp: Mr vox, your settings are vintage buttons, but they are seriously CHEAP. a finer polish on it, it would cost not millions, right? surprise me that john, paul, george had the Korean plastic adjust their sound. A little effort! across from marshall it's brushed metal button, at least not when we see ca ages or fire the material down to save money!

excellent value for money, we are not disappointed. We can not be with the small grid brave bread.

I absolutely do this choice. Besides, I would never sell mine, na.

Purchased in October 2012 on a whim really, and I'm sorry (for once).

The reason is this: the machine accepts no baffle under 8 ohms, all configs boxes I have available I can never more than 5.3 ohms so tintin.

In addition, no effects loop, and I hate sounds saturax dry. Of course this group is less critical, but then it will be rather directed to a bigger amp so it is a pity that all this must not listen to the moon ...

All lamp, even the ac power section 15 according to manufacturer triode mode available, switch saturax ditto, very active EQ efficient (more than zero sound).

I AC15 and I wanted the equivalent laptop is missing the two amps have nothing in common.

UTILIZATION

Very simple to use if you have the right impedances box.
Very little residual noise, a lot of gain available.

The sound is immediate, it is very sound in pan.
In fact those who laughed when they saw the thing not laugh when they hear more!

So we can say, no making head, it sounds without turning knobs hours is effective situation, and a 412 with a drummer playing nasty carefree.

SOUNDS

Okay it sounds presto, but how? I was disappointed because I expected more or less one AC15 pocket there is not. So I compare and here:

The sound is much harder, lack of flexibility and musicality, the wooded side of the AC15 disappears completely brief Vox has created a new amp here.

on the other hand you earn his saturax versatile in its range gain, but you need to choose as it is not foot switchable.

With this kind of minimalist amp you inevitably end up with a pedalboard on clean channel, not dreaming, and then the ac 15 is much nicer weight apart.

The clean volume available is amazing, it's really hard, you can play funk group carefree, and the relative hardness of assistance even to pierce the mix.

So together with the AC15 output stage does not crash and remains clean, not surprising that the design recipe to make since the dawn of time!

OVERALL OPINION

Well, we relativized by the fact that I was expecting something else, not the fault of the amp huh.

I notice that on the other hand is that all the amps I've had tubes between the legs, those are always hard sound active equalization. Those passive equalization are softer but actually quite inefficient (when it's not unusable as top boost channel of AC15).
I will sell the nighttrain to move on, new side equalization.

I think the baxandal installed on ampeg guitar amps, it seems to be both gentle and highly effective.

It remains, however, that this is a very good nighttrain amp actually going to try before you buy because I do not agree with those who find typical vox.

The Vox Night Train is Vox's answer to the low wattage game. Offering a reasonable mixture of portability and sound quality, the Night Train is one of the nicest low cost tube amps on the market as of 2012. The Night train's front panel is adorned with a simple array of controls. Gain, Treble, Middle, Bass, Volume. Two toggle switches offer advanced control over your sound. The operating mode switch functions as a standby and half power switch, while a second toggle allows you to choose between bright and thick modes. Engaging the Thick mode bypasses the amp's Eq and allows for more gain to be applied to the sound. The amp is 15 watts but can operate at 7.5 watts with the half power switch engaged (using the triode selection) and runs on a pair of el84's.

UTILIZATION

The Vox's simple layout makes getting a good sound a straight forward endeavor, however the lack of an effects loop or the ability to select channels makes the amp decently compromised in the eyes of a gigging musician. These missing features can easily be forgiven though considering the affordability granted to an all tube circuit. The amp takes pedals fairly well without the effects loops and the amp is plenty loud if you are mic-ing your backline (and you should be).

SOUNDS

I played through the Vox Night Train with a Gibson Les Paul Traditional w/ stock pickups. I used a Mesa 2x12 cab. No pedals.


The amps clean sounds are very pleasant and compliment a variety of guitars. I primarily tested the Night Train with a dark sounding, mahogany body guitar and the bright mode made the guitar sparkle. The tube circuit provides for nice articulation in your sound. Engaging the thick mode, you are able to drive the amp very hard and cover many genres. The drive sounds performed excellently and I found myself often forgetting that I was playing a $300 amp.

OVERALL OPINION

The Vox Night train is an excellent solution for those who need a portable, all tube design. The affordability of this amp is unparalleled when comparing the sound quality of it's neighboring price points.

I put correct because it lacks small thing to make it a killer (vox go take this into account we get out a night train 2 with Edit and you kill the walk not really)
What is missing to achieve this perfection: an opportunity to put a boost footswitch and an effects loop and reverb with this would be perfect.
This is like everything but it can not be all over
Otherwise the 15 W lamp with the reduction of half built very well for the home
the bag super weight and size of this head is great for the lumbar tired

UTILIZATION

There's no easier I put my personal background to the equalizer is guitar and vox sound that melts and the rest of the sounds of the fire god

SOUNDS

I put perfect because that's exactly the desired sound pressure to the grain was still usable but not its three switchable it's stupid I swear
But otherwise it's a round warm wishes Christalin
the light is a killer and is clear if you turn up the volume and remains pretty even at low volume and those malgrés put in half the wattage
The crunch is crazy with the touch of the guitar dous we get a clear sound to still be the first attack and it's a crazy thing
and boosted channel with all the plumpness
It is true that I play gibson usa supreme and suddenly it has to play but there is still something of this amp I promise you
add to a plain reverb and delay, and in saturate you parter I'm on the land of happiness Audible

OVERALL OPINION

Very very good amp but with a mod make over is a killer
I make great separates for its more powerful and with a footswitch and an effects loop in order to have what I was hoping to have the same sound I recommend it to all lovers of pure sound of the blues to rock feel and he sends me is worth at least been one day in your set

Amplification lamp, with two outputs 8 or 16 ohm jack. There are two different mode which delivers 15 watts pentode or triode which delivers 7.5 watts of heat is well on his less than impressive 15 watts but very handy for playing in an apartment or a low volume.
The settings are very basic volume, gain, 3 band eq. It there's also a selector that allows for a more distorted: (thick or bright). I find that on the other hand équalo does not necessarily answer very well, I think it does not act on a very wide frequency range, but you can easily remedy it with a external eq.

UTILIZATION

Simple Setup, see the description. This is a lamp of her!

SOUNDS

This amp head gives a well has the English, very crunchy and not really distorted. The clean sound is great, very clean (no multi effect).
I use it with a lag and a jackson rr3 RX200, recently I tried it with my ovation, it gives a big power to electro acoustic guitars while being very accurate, I found it very interesting.
On top of that so I use a multi effect (PODxt), which gives this amplifier has a wide range of sound. Being very versatile in my guitar playing (jazz, metal, blues and reggae, among others) This amp has satisfied me with its versatility.
I use it with a Marshall 1912 cabinet.
In this room REPEAT do not too bad but my drummer hits hard so I flagged down flap on the mesa that sending still more wood, but for concert or transplanted by a microphone that do it well.

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for almost a year.
I bought a nimes or there was little choice in this price range, so I took the day to try almost all models of the store, what I advise also to do as a notice on Audiofanzine not worth your own ear. So I opted for the one, already in the price: 400euros coupon with the store, then because I thought it was the one who put more value in my guitars.
I would do the selection without problems but as said above I also took the time to do it, I think this is not a purchase to do in the air and if you can bring your test instruments.

So that's it! A small notice that I was asked to do! Go!

15 watt all-tube amp, as would the slogan 'small but powerful'!
Comes with carrying case (well known) only for a head!
the cab it ... suffer!
Connectivity to the main cab and 2 head 8 and 16 OHM
An input Jack! No footswith, damage ...
Classics at Vox: A gain, volume, Equal 3 bands, a Bright switch for u its creamy ... Hummmm that's good! And how THICK, a more hard for those who love the overdrive Vox done well. I hang myself! Uh no reverb is better for a little amp is preferred when it matters!

UTILIZATION

A config can not be simpler!
Manuel clearly ... but useless when you know it, not really, I have not had to.
This gives her her very quickly, touching the knobs found!

SOUNDS

My styles, Blues Rock Some Hard, Funk, Garage.
A decent amp badly! hehe!
One can switch between the above lens (at What Vox) to a more hard where the notes are more difficult to distinguished.
I play with a Dunlop Cry Baby, a Cathedral EHX, MXR Micro Amp and a Boss CE-1. Guitar, Epiphone Les Paul (SG) with Maestro!
I like the sound that comes out creamy and warm and I use Bright mode unless the mode Thick or so with my boost to make her a yucky greasy and a little fuzz (like The Black Keys older albums)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for a year or so. And I'm still not tired!
I used a lot of other amps before this one, I finished it (in a good way)!
Its part effective, small, portable, good and powerful! (Do not worry, the battery did not resist)
Ratio Q / P, 9 / 10. A real cheap solution.
Yeah ... I might redo the choice to take it back later!

Keep Rockin '!
PEACE.

Well, this cot nothing complicated ... T say it all and is simple to get to know a site specially for the tech sheet Retailer ...

Note, however, a good trs: pentode-triode switch to halve the power ...
15 watts is not large you tell me?!?!
Well, remember that it is an amp lamp, and you do not all fortunate to live in a mansion lost or hard to have deaf neighbors .. .

And another benefit is the grain allows for high-volume lamps without using a power brake ...

SO: big good point for this option.

BIG BIG POINT also on the quality of manufacture.

Default even when small: a micro reverb has done well ... It is the length of an Accutronics and yes it's a little more quickly connect to a PDAL ... But it's really a dtail.

Ah yes, a small effect loop would cool t default to have a verb ...

BUT: even when they gave me great pleasure in delivering an original carrying case (and with its small weight it gnial and practice).


EDIT: Oh, by the way, I test two cabs in shop (10 and 12 for the Vox models).
Obviously I chose the 12 ... But it sounds even better on my V30 as the original greenback.

UTILIZATION

So this cot ... What about ...

The manual must always be in the box.

5 knobs ... Gain - Trebble - Middle - Bass - Volume

Basically, there's just connect ...
Mrs. a child of two years should do it.

Note, however, for novices in the world of amps lamps, the standby switch is confused in pentode-triode switch.
I find it a very practical and well thought out but for someone who never jou on amp lamp, as one of my friends came to test it before buying it, although respect the r gle "Standby Power" and "Standby-Power."

But if not, say anything, very simple: PLUG & PLAY.

SOUNDS

So we approach the last point INTERESTED.

I only play rock, which is more like English (look at my stuff's not Marshall Mesa) ...
In this style, no problem ... It has a bit to that when I took it even.

But it does not just a.

Yes, I play a lot of blues, punk, metal and ...
So watch out, I'm not saying that excels in these styles, but it dbrouille trs well.
It does not compete with the classics of the genre, but it holds up ... And even though trs.

Next guitar I plug into it, I may as well have mlodieux cleans and sweet, a good big disto ... And he has no problem with the harmonics. True, the bottom with the gain, and I find myself sending limits too.

Moreover, even a good-thick bright mode which increases the gain significantly ... This reminds me a lot of amps offer a vintage fashion and modern fashion.

Therefore Russi.


reverb.

OVERALL OPINION

So I've had it about 3 months. But I play it low (about 5 hours per week).
Finally, enough to have my word.

Basically this is my amp flat.
The rest of the time in the studio or RPET, I play on my other amp (Engl Screamer, Marshall JCM, Marshall Mosfet, 1970 ...).
And I change as many guitar amp (I had to have a dozen DIFFERENT amp) ...
I also rotates with the gear or other locs (Plexi, AC 30, Twin Reverb, Bassman, Ultra, Brunetti, Mesa, Soldano ... And surely I forget).
But basically I have a bunch of jou amp (lamps).

Finally I m'gare.

Basically, if you are wondering what is this amp, go test it.
I think as you like (it took me just 5 minutes).

In addition it's stupid, but it is beautiful with its vintage look.

And for the price, I think there's no time to ask the question ...

Amp head lamps of 15W. Possibility to use it in 7.5 W.
Level connectivity, an input jack, a gain, a four knob 3, 1 volume, bright switch 1 / thick, a pentode switch / standby / triode, i switch on / off.
16hom output.

No effects loop, no and no footswitch rverbe

Supplied with a carry bag for arm's length (about 7kg), the small size doing the rest.

Rating: 7

UTILIZATION

Setup could not be more simple without being too simple
The four works, the sounds obtained in bright mode or thick (which cancels the four) are in line Vox, so perfect for me.

Diffrent the options proposed by the small head ventail consquent offer sound and color, the type of guitar used with good will tend Obviously (or rduira, c ' think is!)
Nevertheless, there is always a good sound at the end.


Rating: 8

SOUNDS

This is exactly the type of amp I was looking for. Plutt playing stuff from blues to hard rock, the night train ensures properly.

I use it mainly in bright mode, the gain at 3 / 4 to get its type Stones / AC-DC with a Les Paul Junior (Gibson and / or Epiphone). In the BPS knob volume is set to 3 or 4 and was enough to send a good balance with the other guitar, bass and drums.

To overcome the lack of rverbe I added a Boss Fender Deluxe 63 RV1 to keep in mind vintage suits me and it's nickel.
I also added a squeeze of Lemon Modtone pedals to boost solos.

I use it only for a few RPTES, I'm still refining my sound so I must return this page complter ultrieurement, once I trennea b you live for example.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had only one month so it's always the idyll. Provided that lasted!

Before I have a Marshall Valvestate 50w possd I used only the house and I liked my faith. (But why I speak to pass it is still in the basement!). otherwise I used to use Marshall JCM900 Blues or classic Peavey.

What I like is the sound Vox without a trainer does death AC30 type. Although I do sr prtends not done everything it reaches the level of the latter but frankly it is the srieusement dtour.
The least are the absence of sr rverbe and footswitch to switch between another config (from bright to thick, for example).
The more, the size, weight, ITS VOX.

And yes, I do it again this choice (still happy APRS only 1 month)

OVERALL OPINION

Hello,
I think. Trs good little amp lamp. Trs typical of his vox. Clear sounds clear and very versatile crunch. Many possibilities.
Likes: Its simplicity its heat, its rglages effective, its look, the concept.
I do not like: the "Sick" (too crillart see unworkable "), the absence of loop" effect and the foot switch.
Note: Unlike its minimalism, it must be a regular amp lamps, and what use this type of amp. Similarly, the effects type "rverd" or "Dlay" go wrong in "crunch" (o my regret about the effects loop).
Not knowing your level, and for what use, my advice stop l.
Price for buying: 250 *
Attention, although its bec Cab (Vox prconise the Greenback. I, for one more j'obtenrai Vintage 30, and 12 inches - a 10 as "too restrictive"!)
For availability,
Christophe

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use, no need of the manual.

SOUNDS

Tried it with a telecaster on Blackstar 1X12 Celestion speaker.
Beautiful sounds clear and saturated oriented rather vintage, gives more in the thick hairy. This amp is versatile.
The 7.5 W seems too high to play at home without disturbing but you can finesse the gain.
Is the 15 W is sufficient for group play or concert? I could not test it.

I've paired this with a 1x12 avatar cab with an alnico blue in it and it just sings. Even drove a 2x12 avatar cab with it last weekend and it was easily loud enough to be heard over a full band turned up loud at just half volume! (running on pentode mode)

UTILIZATION

If you set it up right it gives you amazing flexibility at your guitar. I don't even use my distortion pedal anymore -- fiddling with volume and pickup selection is more than enough to dial in a whole range of tone (helped by the fact that my PRS custom 22 can play in both single coil and hum bucking configurations.)

SOUNDS

The bright channel is just that, bright -- and with the stock cabinet and a fender strat itll sound downright shrill. Most of the complaints I've heard say something to this effect, but set it up properly and mate it to a good, closed back cabinet and you're in business. If you want the great tone of a small wattage amp, are on a budget, but still need some serious volume, this thing will more than suffice. And my god does it sound good!

OVERALL OPINION

Overall this is a very well built piece. Cosmetically you couldn’t ask for a prettier, shiny amp. I'm sure no matter where you go you will find someone who will have a list of negatives to throw at it. The thick channel in my opinion leaves alot to be desired.

I will warn you that the treble should not be turned past noon if you don't want piercing, brittle highs. I have been told that changing the preamp tubes and altering the bright cap can help this but I personally haven't done this so I don't know. If your a hobby player like myself or if you gig; this amp may suit your preferences. It may take a little time to find your sound, but what the hell that's half the fun.

Tube amp
15w
Jack
The relages are trebble, bass, gain, volume. switchable to 7.5W.

UTILIZATION

It is vox plug, and play.
While a channel with possibility to mount the gain or to play almost in the clear by keeping a minimum ... a lot of combinations are possible. The sound is warm and powerful prcis with HP quality!! Celestion G12 in this case ..
I have no manual, useless, which is manu?

SOUNDS

To play at home, a small volume, it's really super, blues or rock, it offers the grain is nice (test RALIS with Gibson Humbuckers).
Trs trs trs is trs trs heavy, it looks like a toaster lead, it is surprising.
but this gives it a charm more beautiful than the orange terror tini

OVERALL OPINION

I test in situ, with a scratch for two hours (the seller is going to rfugier in the basement of the store) .. well nothing to say, I have a classique30, a fender 12W lamp. .. This head is well built, with its British ensured ... the VOX!
Here, for the Stade de France is a bit young, but among friends, at home to work plans of all style, it's really good .. in fact I am returning with a guitar team of Lollar history .. well cost the "Night Train" hot.

Aprsmfiez you baffle that goes with it is important for sound, and environment of the listening space ...'( the pice).
The report price is good quality and no more. (+ - 470) for the lamp on transistor, made in China (?)... that does not impede me jai lots of stuff made in China, it is often great.
By looking at what the cons will concurence rpliquer ... it's a new philosophy amp: Remember, it is desirable to achieve a 15W, plutt as a curb 30.
