INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the VOX Night Train 50, the latest edition to the Night Train range.
The Night Train 50 is an evolution of the original Night Train, meaning it’s even more versatile.. with more
power, two footswitchable channels and a much requested footswitchable thick mode. We’ve also added an
FX loop meaning you can run any of your favourite delay or reverb effects in the correct part of the signal
chain.
Whether you’re a session player or a wanna-be rock God, your tone is the most important thing. This is a
fully functional 50 Watt all-tube head so diverse that you can play blues one night, country after that and
full on ROCK the next!
The Night Train 50 features two channels.. Bright and Girth.
Bright will give you chimey clean tones synonymous with VOX, but you can then kick it up a notch by
switching to “Thick” and add a whole new dimension of gain...
The Bright channel features a Gain control, a footswitchable preamp mode switch (Thick) and a fully
functional tone stack (Treble, Middle and Bass).
Girth is a whole new level of high gain, for searing lead tones that will have your ears bleeding for more!
The Girth channel features a Gain control, a fully functional tone stack (Treble, Middle and Bass) and a
channel volume.
The Master section features a Master Volume, a “Tight” mode switch and a classic VOX Tone Cut control.
Welcome aboard the Night Train to tone!
The VOX R&D team.
