Summer NAMM: VOX Offers Color Options For MINI5 Rhythm

Portable modelling amplifier now in black, ivory or classic   12-Jul-13

VOX Amplification is offering new color choices for its Mini5 Rhythm portable modeling guitar amplifier. Here's their press release with the details:

Combining renowned VOX modeling technology, flexible battery or AC power, effects and rhythm patterns, the 5-Watt Mini5 Rhythm is ideal for any performer in need of a portable, full-featured amplifier. Musicians can now choose from the original black vinyl covering, as well as an ivory color option or a "classic" option that features traditional VOX diamond pattern grille cloth.

The Mini5 Rhythm provides 11 highly accurate amplifier models, starting with the coveted VOX British tone and including classic historic amps, intense hi-gain amps, and rare "boutique" amplifiers. In addition, a clean, non-distorting amp model preserves the natural quality of any acoustic instrument and can also accommodate a keyboard. A total of eight effects are on-board: compressor; chorus; flanger; and tremolo; plus two reverbs and two delays. One effect and one reverb/delay can be operated simultaneously. A Tap Tempo feature makes it easy to set the delay time.

The Rhythm section can be used to help keep the beat, and also as a rhythm trainer for practicing and to accompany jam sessions. It includes 99 rhythms and metronome patterns, broken down by genre.

In addition to an instrument input, the Mini5 Rhythm also offers a separate microphone input allowing the Mini5 Rhythm to function as a portable P.A. system. A convenient AUX input is provided for jamming along to a CD or MP3, or for use with any audio source. The headphone output can be used for private practice, as a line out for recording, or for using the Mini5 as a personal monitor when hooked to larger sound system.

Designed for true mobility, the Mini5 Rhythm can run anywhere for up to 30 hours on six AA batteries; an AC adaptor is included for stationary use.

Pricing and Availability:

All color variations of the VOX Mini5 Rhythm will be available in September 2013 for a U.S. Street price of $159.99
