Title: Vox Micro Superbeetle Guitar - 20 watts of mini-sized maximum sound!
Post by: joecool85 on November 14, 2025, 04:47:37 PM
Vox has just released the new baby to the 25w MSB25 Mini Superbeetle stack - the Micro Superbeetle Guitar (there is an audio version for those that just want to use it as a bluetooth speaker).

You can use just the head as a portable bluetooth speaker/guitar amp and get 5w of power, or plug into the cab and have an additional 15w, bringing the total to 20w of practice power!  Three modes give you clean, drive, and high gain.  Honestly, it sounds pretty impressive - and it should, given it is retailing currently for $399 USD.

What's the deal with Beetle vs Beatle ? Can't Vox use Beatle anymore ? Doesn't Paul still have a Vox amp in his back line along side a Mesa ?

The cab is 8.3 inches wide but they are using a 4 inch speaker in the cab, it sounds very tiny and a waste when they might have been able to install an 8 inch speaker driver in there or at least a 6 inch one.
Perhaps they tried and found the 4 inch sounded best, but , I mean, A 4 INCH GUITAR SPEAKER ????
I won't even start on the 1-1/2 inch speaker in the head unit.....

It sounds great in the recordings, but frequently small speakers do record quite well.  No idea what it sounds like "in room", but you are right, that is a TINY speaker.  Generally I'm a fan of 8" speakers for "at home" use, unsure on gigging as I don't do that lol.
