Amp 2W lamps.
See specifications on the manufacturer's website.
It really is super small, especially with his tiny cab 10 inches. It's pretty impressive.
The finish is upscale: it exudes quality, it is even more beautiful in person than on the internet ... It comes with a cable to connect the HP that looks top, too. on the other hand, it loses the case to carry his big brother shame!

UTILIZATION

First, it is (finally) a real amp apartment, we can do cruncher comfortable without rousing the neighborhood. Given the size and weight, we Triballe as you like, including cab, to make a little jam with friends. on the other hand, it's not enough to play in full rock formation, except to dub the sound.
It is very easy to use, and both subtle, because you can play on the gain on the bass and treble of the amp, but also on the volume and tone of the guitar, which allows the obtain the most diverse sounds, let alone touch (finger picks): any means, with a minimum of background noise.

SOUNDS

So the idea is that a Vox sound, the kind of the AC30 or AC15: you buy it for that. In Bright position, as its name suggests, you get a very bright sound, which quickly became (at 10am, with the humbuckers in my Gibson Les Paul Studio) crunchy, with tons of harmonics. In Thick mode, it is very sturdy and in good organic distortion, grave, which remains clear throughout the course of the gain knob. It can play everything ... especially what is usually played on a Vox pop, blues, rock.
He collects perfectly effects pedals. My Blues Driver is connected to this beautiful lil train.
Last thing: in forums, there are geeks who advise to make a simple modification - c19 mod - to decrease the brightness of the amp. For my part, I do not feel useful.

OVERALL OPINION

I for several weeks, and I'm not tired. I used before a Mustang Mini I still think the greatest good. I always put the AC15 simulation, very correct, but beside the Lil Night Train ... it's night and day!
I hesitated a lot with very good Blackstar HT1R I tried long. The latter has two advantages: mp3 input and good integrated reverb. In addition it is a small combo even easier to carry around. But: the sound, which is very beautiful, is much less distinctive, more modern. Say next to the LSA, it gives the impression of the type that is technically good but who lack ... character!
Eventually, maybe I'll buy the cab V112NT with its 12-inch HP greenback. The sound is necessarily better, but I will lose portability. We'll see ... on the other hand, there must be a reverb pedal, it's really a plus for this kind of small amp.

A real success, bravo Vox!
