I am in a working band. We play out all the time. In every venue, I never used the pentode (15 watt) setting. The triode (7 watts) is plenty loud. And I get to turn up the volume knob and get that warm power tube sound. The head being separate from my speaker (12" celestion greenback) makes it really easy to carry. It's a lot lighter than my 69 Fender Deluxe Reverb. Great little unit. My only complaint is the lack of a foot-switchable bright/thick setting.

I use the “NT” in my studio along with several low wattage amps as an option for my clients and for reamping so this perspective is more from an engineer. First off the “NT” looks cool, I think, and so do many clients (but I have to stop leaving it on the coffee table people think it’s a toaster (-: You can switch it between two wattage setting 7-15 to get more or less volume. I was surprised when I first got into low wattage amps that there is not a huge difference in volume between wattage settings. There is a very noticeable difference but not what you might expect, 15 to 7 watts is not a complete ½ drop in volume. The clean sound of the amp is very good and “voxish” but I use the Vox AC4TVH head for cleans on many songs. It has more of that chimey, lush vox sound. The clean sound of the “NT” is very good and many like it but the AC4TVH just has something extra. The crunch and warm overdrive on this amp is where I believe it really shines. It is not as “nasty” (meant in a good way) as the Tiny Terror (which the clean side is definitely not its strong point) but has a powerful but controlled sound. The “NT” can get raucous but it still does so without a lot of “hair” on it. Its in your face but not sticking it's tongue out at you. Blues players really love it for its warm overdrive and it is the tone many rockers prefer on their songs. It has a thick setting that bypasses the EQ and can fatten up the sound which is a great tonal option. When nothing else will do this amp provides that certain “sound” for a song or section that is all vox.Read full review
This little jewel of an amp head is perfect for home (living room, bedroom, any room) practice and playing. It's small but weighty and solidly built. Some nice features include: 1) STEREO headphone output 2) 8 Ohm/16 Ohm compatibility 3) You can run it through ANY size cab (even a 4 x 12) (as long as the impedance matches), directly into a recording device, a PA, whatever. 4) PORTABLE because of small size and basically its universal output (see point 3). 5) replacement tubes are easy to find and affordable 6) capable of VOX clean chime and jangle as well as AC-30 style clipping and roar. The only down side is they seem to be relatively rare and therefore pretty hard to find.

The G2 night train is a really fun little amp. It has a huge variety of tones and overdrive settings that make it fun to play for hours. My real life comparison of this amp is to a Blues Jr. and the night train holds its own very well. The Pros over the Blues Jr are. 1. An effects loop 2. Overdrive and gain settings 3. Bright and dark settings The cons are it does not have as clear clean tones and is not quite as loud as the Blues Jr. I recommend it but if you plan on gigging with it and have a heavy handed drummer, plan on putting a mic in front of it. But bang for the buck you can't go wrong

I have a Blackstar HT1, Jet City pico valve, Panama Loco X, Vox night train 15, and the Bugera G5 Infinium. Of these the Vox is so far out if front, everything else is a distant second. It has a rich EQ, decent reverb, speaker outputs for any cab or combination you may have, enough power for small venues, and easy to see user controls in most lighting conditions which are bone colored chicken head knobs on a black background and white lettering. It's built like a tank too. It's easy to see that a lot of thought went into designing this one, and it's the first Vox amp I've liked since the early models from the 60's-70's.
