The VOX
Cambridge50 is an ambitious product that opens new possibilities in a modeling
guitar amp. It uses Virtual Element Technology (”VET”) modeling
technology to deliver realistic and stage-ready sounds, Nutube to deliver the
distinctive distortion, rapid response, and tonal change of a tube amp that
cannot be entirely duplicated by digital technology, and an open-back cabinet
equipped with a 12-inch speaker for crisp sound. The VOX Cambridge50 guitar amp
is the ideal fusion of these three elements, and a powerful modeling amp.
With 50W
output and versatile functionality, it’s a great choice not only for live
performance but also for at-home practicing or recording. The
Cambridge50 offers enjoyable guitar playing in any setting.

Eleven
types of further refined amp model
Proprietary
VET (Virtual Element Technology) allows an unprecedented degree of realism. In
addition to the amp models, the original circuit itself has been reevaluated,
carefully modeling the way in which the sound is effected by the wooden cabinet
and the response of the 12-inch speaker. In addition to the classic AC30, this
single unit gives you the sounds of a wide range of amps including well-known
tube amps, modern high-gain amps, and rare boutique amps. LINE is also provided
to support acoustic-electric guitars and keyboards, further expanding the
useful scope of this unit.
Amp models:
DELUXE CL, BOUTIQUE CL, BOUTIQUE OD, VOX AC30, VOX AC30TB, BRIT 1959, BRIT 800,
BRIT VM, SL-OD, DOULBE REC, LINE
Eight
effect types
There’s a
generous selection of the effect types that are indispensable for shaping your
sound. Both modulation and delay/reverb can be used simultaneously, and each
provides a choice of four types, giving you a total of eight effects. This
offers total control for shaping your guitar sound. A tap button is also
provided, so you can set the delay time and other parameters intuitively.
Effect
types: MODULATION (CHORUS, FLANGER, ORG PHASE, TWIN TREM), DELAY/REVERB
(A.DELAY, TAPE ECHO, SPRING, HALL)
Open-backed
cabinet equipped with a Celestion VX12 speaker
The VOX
Cambridge50 features a Celestion VX12 speaker that takes full advantage of the
50W output. The rear of the unit uses an open-backed structure, delivering the
open and crisp sound that you expect from a 12-inch speaker.
Equipped
with a Nutube
The VOX
Cambridge50 features a Nutube, the new-generation vacuum tube. Using
electro-luminescent technology with the same structure as a conventional vacuum
tube, the Nutube has been featured in a variety of products from VOX and
others. The distortion and sense of compression that you expect from a vacuum
tube, and even the response and playing feel, perfectly capture the feeling of
playing a vacuum tube. In addition to the light-weight design that was
unobtainable by a conventional vacuum tube amp, the Nutube brings additional
unique advantages such as being maintenance-free and cost-effective.
A full
range of support functions
The VOX
Cambridge50 is packed with functions to support the guitarist in every way. In
addition to the built-in tuner, there’s an AUX input that lets you listen to an
external audio source while you jam along with it, a headphone/line output with
cabinet simulator that’s ideal for practicing at home or recording, a preset
mode that lets you instantly recall stage-ready sounds, and a manual mode that
applies the physical knob positions just like a conventional amp.
Equipped
with a USB audio interface
The VOX
Cambridge50 features USB audio interface functionality that lets you connect to
your computer via USB and record the Nutube sound directly. In addition to
letting you enjoy performing, this unit is perfect for integrating with your
home recording setup.
Tone
Room software delivers an even higher level of convenience
The Tone
Room editor/librarian software supports the VOX Cambridge50. You can use it to
access parameters that are not accessible from the unit itself and store your
settings in a library. In addition to Mac/Windows, iOS/Android are supported,
allowing easy access via USB.
Add a
foot switch for expanded functionality
The
separately sold VFS5 footswitch lets you use your foot to change programs. When
the footswitch is connected, program memories are expanded to eight types,
providing perfect support for your on-stage performances.
JamVOX
III modeling software bundled
With JamVOX
III modeling software bundled, you can easily enjoy playing guitar on your PC.
You can take advantage of the GXT function that lets you extract, emphasize, or
remove a specific part from an existing song; you can also use the music player
function to play back a loop from a song that you are learning or practicing,
and even change its tempo. ASIO drivers are supported, so you can also record
and play back via software other than JamVOX III, such as a DAW or guitar amp
simulator.
