VOX Amplification Receives Premier Guitar’s Premier Gear Award

Aug. 14, 2009 - PRLog -- The Night Train NT15H, the latest amplifier from VOX, has been honored by Premier Guitar with a Premier Gear Award for the month of September.

The Premier Gear Award is an honor bestowed upon a piece of gear—whether guitar, amp, effect, or other gear— that has been extraordinary enough to impress the staff of Premier Guitar. Despite the high quality of gear reviewed by Premier Guitar, only exemplary items earn the award.

The VOX Night Train offers users huge tube tone in a portable, gig-ready package that we’re proud of,” states Brad Hochstetler, Brand Manager for VOX U.S. “We’re just as happy that it’s been recognized by a respected publication such as Premier Guitar magazine”

“Coupled with a fantastic overdrive that seems like an entirely different amp itself,” writes reviewer Jordan Wagner, “the Night Train is really hard to beat if you’re in the market for a low-wattage amplifier… VOX has really hit it out of the ballpark with this one.” Premier Guitar gave the Night Train a rating of 5.0, the highest possible rating.

“We created the Premier Gear Awards to recognize gear that is truly exceptional in terms of the characteristics that are most important to our readers,” says Chris Burgess, Editor-in-Chief for Premier Guitar. “Whether it's tone or build quality, craftsmanship, looks, playability, value, versatility, or even that 'certain something' that can be so difficult to define, these awards are our way of saluting the gear that decisively surpasses our exacting standards.”
