Frequently Asked Questions

What are the shipping rates?

We offer free shipping on most items to metro areas in ACT, NSW, VIC, and QLD. If you are in a regional area we do offer great shipping rates, though it is often too expensive for us to offer free shipping. You can calculate shipping costs in the checkout and on item pages with your postcode.
Orders under $50 incur a minimum order fee to cover shipping.

Standard vs Express Shipping

Our shipping platform will automatically determine and display the Express or Standard shipping options that are available to you. If Express is not displaying, you're either located too far away from our store in Canberra, or the Standard shipping option will get it to you just as fast for the same price. Express shipping is 1-5 days, Standard 2-10 days depending on how far you are away from our store in Canberra.

What payment methods do you offer?

We offer secure checkout options like Visa, Mastercard, PayPal, Zip Pay and Bank Deposit.
American Express payments are also accepted, although most AmEx transactions will require manual authorization after payment (Someone from the team will contact you to confirm the transaction after checkout)

With a combined weight of less than 5kg (less than 11 lbs), guitarists everywhere can now enjoy Brian May’s iconic stadium rock tone in a small and lightweight tube amp rig.  The MV50 Brian May has been designed and developed in collaboration between Vox and the legendary guitarist Brian May.

Powered by Vox’s Nutube technology – a revolutionary new vacuum tube that produces authentic tube tone at a fraction of the size – the MV50 Brian May is based on the  MV50 circuitry and AC30 tone, but with the addition of a KAT (Knight Audio Technologies) treble booster, which can be toggled on or off, allowing guitarists to achieve Brian May’s instantly recognisable tone. 

With a refined control panel featuring gain, tone and volume controls, the MV50 also features an EQ switch that can be toggled from flat (perfect for larger cabs) to deep (ideal for getting a deeper tone even from a smaller cab). When combined with its matching speaker cabinet, the MV50 produces a 25w output at 8ohms, packing a large punch despite its small size. The MV50 Brian May’s headphone/line out also features speaker emulation, so you have the option of recording directly from the amp head without needing to mic up the cab.

With a head weighing just 540g (19oz) , and cab weighing 3.9kg (8.6lbs)  this is one of the lightest tube setups available to guitarists, and certainly a lot lighter than Brian’s on-stage trio of AC30s! You can truly take Brian’s iconic tone with you wherever you go. 

“It's perfect for any smaller show, and if you want to put a mic in front of it, it'll do for your big gigs as well. I wouldn't mind going on some future stadium gig and seeing how this shapes up.” – Brian May.

With eye-catching red casing the MV50 Brian May provides a visual nod to his legendary ‘Red Special’ guitar. The face of the amp and cab is finished in Vox’s quintessential diamond-patterned cloth, complemented with Brian May’s signature, to represent his personal approval of the amp which bears his name. 

This special collector’s edition set consists of MV50 head, matching speaker cab, plus keychain and postcards.
