WTF?! Vox NT15H Night Train
Anybody familiar with this amp?
I just yesterday became VERY familair with this amp. I went to the local GC just to see what had or hadn't come in(havent been to any music shop in 2mos). Much as I suspected not a whole lot had changed...but there was this little beastie. I cam across it on accident really. I was trying some of the small bed room rockers alot of you guys worship. Tried an Blackstar HT5...meh. Tried a Marshall Haze, that was pretty good but still...meh. Plugged into the NT15H...HOLY SHIT. I have played vox amps before and they all have a pretty good amount of gain. However, much of my experience was with the AC30. This amp is, according to their site, based on the AC15 circuit and the lower wattage really lends itself more conducive to higher gain(though not modern molten hot high gain) tones. The thing was super responsive, organically and harmonically complex, and just one bad ass mother of an amp. The only amp I have ever heard, besides its ACx brethren, is a boutique Black Cat Hot Cat. This is definately an amp I am contemplating picking up in the nearest future, and at under 500 bucks it is a steal. comment. Thanks for your time |

Well, i guess its all about personal preference because I walked into guitar center with intent to try out all of the bedroom rockers as you call them, and I thought the blackstar ht-5 was by far the better amp in sound and versatility. I tried the Haze, the renegade, the night train, the valve junior, and a few others and I ended up buying the blackstar. But the night train did sound pretty good...

it just has that sweet bloom and breakup. It's not modern sounding it more classic rock to heavy rock with it's palettes of tone. The HT5 is not a bad amp by any means...it just didnt have anything to go "wow" about.

i didnt spend too much time with the nighttrain, but imho its one of the coolest low-wattage amps out there!
i would love to try out anything of the Bad Cat range. |

they have some good shit. I thnk I have tried their hot cat, black cat, and lynx i think it's called. a hot cat 1/2 stack....that would be beyond awesome.
The Vox for the price is just that much more awesome though. I will have it! |
