Crushing clarity: a 50-watt box of glorious gain for hard rock, metal, extended-range and progressive players

Our grey two-channel monster starts with classic British-inspired, crunching rhythm tones in Gain I mode. Gain II sears on into tight, aggressive American high-gain grind, perfect for progressive and extended-range players. It may be a small box, but VX The Kraken is packing a versatile 50-watt power section that you can use at home, in the studio or on the biggest stages. It'll even travel as hand luggage when you fly! One for the gain addicts, VX The Kraken pushes all the boundaries of what you can expect from a 'small' amp.
