VOX MINI5 Rhythm IV Modeling Guitar Amp, Ivory and Black - Nearly New

Full Description

The Vox MINI5 Rhythm IV has 11 realistic amp models taken from the flagship Valvetronix series, supporting a broad range of styles and playing techniques. It offers a perfect simulation of the legendary Vox AC30, for the drive typical of vacuum tubes, as well as models of powerful high-gain amps and transparent, clean types. It also has a built-in Vox original "Bassilator" circuit to cover the ultra-low-frequency overtones, giving an intensely heavy sound that belies its small size. The clean-sounding LINE input has no distortion, making the MINI5 Rhythm perfect for electro acoustic guitars and keyboards.

This amplifier boasts a full complement of effects, including compressor, chorus, flanger, tremolo, and delay/reverb types. It also has a newly-added rhythm function, with 11 built-in rhythms in styles including 8-beat, 16-beat, rock, metal and R&B, as well as a built-in metronome. There are nine variations for each style, giving you 99 rhythm patterns to work with. The tempo and volume can be easily adjusted, allowing you to try out ideas for a new riff or phrase, or simply practise playing to a beat. The wide range of musical styles makes it easier to get into the feel of the song being played.

The MINI5 Rhythm can run on six AA batteries, with approximately 19.5 hours of operation with POWER SELECT set to 0.1W. This makes it ideal for street performances or other outdoor playing where the included AC adapter is unusable. Plus the carrying strap makes it particularly easy to transport, so you can play wherever you want.

As well as a guitar input, the MINI5 Rhythm offers a mic input with adjustable volume and delay/reverb effects for vocals, an AUX input for external audio sources, and a headphone/line out jack with a built-in cabinet simulator, great for recording directly into a multi-track recorder or practising with headphones.
