Larsson Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Hey guys, so was looking around at amps today and came across a Vox Night Train, damn that thing looks cool! 15 watts, with a switchable 7.5 watts i believe, and a simple eq gain and volume knobs. sounds great from videos ive watched, almost tempting to get one for my room :P any of you guys own one? or played one before? drop your thoughts of the amp here below personally i think it looks and sounds great from wht ive seen! Cheers, Larsson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigKahune Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Nice little tube amp head. If you got a suitable cab your all set. Never checked one out, but I've played other Vox amps and they've got some nice stuff. Price is a bit high I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mark Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I played through one and it was very good, then I played through a Mesa TA I am now saving for a TA. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rewddawg Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I used to own one and the bright channel is just great. The only draw back I had was if I turned the gain or volume past 12 O clock the darn thing got extremely noisy. I went thru 2 of them and had the same issue. I needed a small amp for a few small jam sessions so I went for the Orange Tiny Terror. If you can find one without the noise issue go for it. For those of you wondering, We tried changing tubes on both NT's with no success. Anyway I hope you find a good one the TT cannot come close to the NT when playing clean or low gain on the NT's bright channel. Rewd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 I love the head but I don't like the cab much. I played it through a different cab once and it sounded much better. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 If you are looking for a very versatile amp: The Night Train is a beast. I have played through the Transatlantic (Mesa) and didn't like it hardly at all. The Night Train (although I don't own one) fills a lot of gaps, and can cover a very wide spectrum of sounds. I personally like playing on thick, but I think the Bright Channel is outstanding. I would have to play through the lilnighttrain, but I love the AC4. I plan on purchasing one very soon Turns out, I am more of a Fender guy... but no little amp comes close to the AC4 in that price range for me though, I get a very nice dirty tone through that. The Tiny Terror was of peak interest to me, still is, but I would say go with the Night Train for your purposes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retrosurfer1959 Posted September 2, 2010 Share Posted September 2, 2010 Yep I have one and I really like it. I have the matching cab also which is fine for what it is and lower volume but I really like the head plugged into a old Marshall 2x12 Ive had for years.

Dub-T-123 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 Retro your thread made me totally GAS for a NT but I ended up getting a used ac30 instead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Silenced Fred Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 For what its worth... Have you thought about the Fender Blues Junior? I get some nasty tones out of em, especially the NOS Tweed. Through some pedals... BOOM! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 And, as always, I am endlessly jealous. Thanks man! I had always wanted one and I came upon a really good deal so I couldn't turn it down. The tone is sweet! It actually gets a pretty gnarly overdrive sound too. Just listen to "Bodysnatchers" by Radiohead and that's what it sounds like all cranked up. (I rarely play that dirty) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cabba2203 Posted September 3, 2010 Share Posted September 3, 2010 I like what I've seen/heard on YT about the Night Train. I want one...and a Mesa TA and a Tiny Terror and a Dual Terror and Blackstar HT20.....LOL! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
