Has anybody here tried one? What were your impressions?
 
I'd love to try one myself. Looks like an interesting little head.
 
Z,

This little guy is based on the AC15. Do you know if it's likely to be cathode biased?

Basically an AC15 with more gain. Yes it is cathode biased. Amazing sounding little amp. Can do just about anything with some fiddling, including metal.

I compared it side by side to an Egnater Rebel, and liked the Night Train slightly more for the sound I was trying to get.

Thanks for the reply. This little guy is giving me a bad case of GAS.
 
I purchased the Vox NightTrain several weeks ago. I love everything about this amp. It provides some really appealing clean tones, but it distorts well enough to cover other music styles. The "clean" setting, in my opinion, does a good job of providing classic Vox sound. Despite where this amp is now made (?UK, ?China), I found it to be a very good build. It lacks an FX loop and headphone port, but that made little difference to me. Being a toaster model, it lacks a reverb; however, I remedied that by buying the Lee Jackson Mr. Springgy. I would not hesitate to use it as a studio amp. This amp also responds really well to a compression pedal with mild settings.
