Classic Brian May tone in the palm of your hand

The MV50 Brian May is a unique and inspiring guitar amplifier, the result of a collaboration between Vox and Queen's legendary guitarist Brian May, successfully transferring his iconic tone to the popular Vox MV50 tube amplifier.

"I want people to be able to bring the sounds you make at a stadium concert into their living room, and this does that. I hope they find it inspiring." -Brian May

Guitarists can now enjoy Brian May's iconic, massive rock tones in a tube amplifier that fits in the palm of your hand, designed and developed in collaboration with the legendary guitarist.

Powered by Vox's Nutube technology, a revolutionary new vacuum tube that produces authentic tube tone at a much more powerful rate than its compact size, the MV50 Brian May is based on the MV50 circuit and AC30 tone, with the addition of a KAT (Knight Audio Technologies) switchable treble booster, allowing guitarists to capture Brian May's instantly recognizable tone.

Featuring a sleek control panel with gain, tone and volume controls, the MV50 also features an EQ switch that can be switched between flat (perfect for large cabinets) and deep (ideal for getting a deeper tone from even a small cabinet).

With an output of 50w into 4ohms, the MV50 delivers big power despite its small size, making it perfect for gigs, rehearsals and even home practice. Thanks to the cabinet simulation on the headphone/line output, the MV50 Brian May can be recorded directly without the need for a cabinet microphone.

Weighing just 540g (19oz), the MV50 BM is one of the lightest tube amplifiers available, making Brian May's iconic tone truly portable.
"I wouldn't mind going to a future stadium concert and seeing how that shapes up." - Brian May.

With its eye-catching red body, the MV50 Brian May makes a visual reference to the legendary 'Red special' model.
The amp’s faceplate is finished with Vox’s signature diamond-patterned fabric finish and Brian May’s signature, giving his personal approval to the amp that bears his name.
