INTRODUCTION
Congratulations on your purchase of the VOX Night Train 15, the latest edition to the Night Train range. The Night Train 15 is an evolution of the original Night Train, meaning it’s even more versatile. With two footswitchable channels, a much requested footswitchable thick mode and a studio quality Reverb. We’ve also added an FX loop meaning you can run any of your favourite effects, such as delays, 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 15 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 15 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 and a footswitchable preamp mode switch (Thick). 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 and a channel Volume.
The Tone section features, a fully functional global tone stack (Treble, Middle and Bass).
The Master section features a Master Volume, a “Dark” mode switch and a Reverb Level control.
Welcome aboard the Night Train to tone!
The VOX Amplification Team.
