Alongside the amp models are specific controls for gain, tone and volume, as well as a number of effects for greater tonal flexibility, including chorus, phaser, delay and reverb.

Each amp is powered by an an included AC adapter or any mobile USB battery for greater portability.

The larger Mini Go 10 and Mini Go 50 offer an onboard looper function, featuring up to 45 seconds of record time that can be quantized –  if playing along to the rhythm machine – to match tempo and pattern.

As big brother of the bunch, the Mini 50 also gives guitarists three programmable amp settings, which can be recalled via the amp or from a footswitch, offering flexbility for live performances when specific sounds are needed on demand.

Paired with the Mini Go 10 and 50 amps is the Vox VFS3 footswitch – a three-button switch that controls a variety of functions such as programs, effects, rhythm and looping.

The Mini Go 3, 10 and 50 are priced $169, $229 and $299, respectively. The VFS3 footswitch is sold separately for $69.
