Historical context and positioning in the range
The VOX VX50BA is part of the VX series, designed to offer compact amps with high power. It stands out by integrating Nutube technology (developed with Noritake Itron), a modern take on triode behavior aiming to recapture the harmonic richness of a tube amp, with reduced power consumption and a miniaturized format.
Who this amp is for
The VX50BA is ideal for bassists who want a lightweight combo without sacrificing character. Perfect for home use (headphone output), rehearsals, lessons, small gigs, or as a reliable DI solution to a mixing console. Its precise EQ and COMP and DRIVE switches easily cover funk, pop, rock, reggae, blues, and more saturated sounds, from warm clean tones to modern, punchy grit.

incredible... Unboxing, the first idea that comes up, ouch yeah, I was wrong, I was wrong I must have bought an amp from a toy store... plastic, not really beautiful, to be stored in the window department for small kitsch objects. Well then, in order not to completely depress, I plug in the beast with an entry-level Squier bass, and now...
The shock sounds, it's even amazing, how can such a small chest sound like that.. I'm continuing the test with a Fender jazz bass, and now it's still surprising, so really congratulations and thank you. First of all, for my back, I'm fed up with carrying an amp that requires a dozen carriers, it's light to the point of wondering if you have it in hand... it practically fits in a backpack... So where are the faults?
maybe a tiny bit of lack of depth and roundness in the bass, but really nothing shocking.. I think it's the ideal tool for rehearsals and for small concerts with musicians playing acoustically. So as far as I am concerned, it\'s 5 starsAutomatically translated

I use this amp in my living room with a Rickenbacker 4001 and a Hofner 500, you can guess what music to play... Excellent amp for practicing bass without annoying the neighbors, with a depth of sound and a very surprising attack considering the small size: I have a\ "real\” bass guitar sound that I can modify as I wish, it\'s quite surprising. In addition, delivery by Chronopost was fast and perfect. So I am, at least for now, very happy with this purchase.

This amp is really, really good, but really very good, ideal for working in your apartment in the city without annoying the neighbours.
I have a real bass sound. With my old Precision from 1978 it's a delight! I think the built-in compressor does the job. I barely play at 1/4 of the power and it's ringing.Automatically translated
