Mig


The MIG-50 is back. It's now the EHX interpretation of tone greatness.


Amp buffs here will know that the MIG-50 started out as a Sovtek. It's one of those amps in tone folklore that had much to offer but perished in the shadows of obscurity. 

Greatness here is defined by how the amp reacted superbly with a straight-through set up as well as a pedal laden line up. If you are looking for high gain fidelity, this won't serve your needs, it requires an external push in terms of pedals which is an easy discourse. In today's amp-speak, the MIG is a flat response amp that excels with lots of supplementary inputs, it's simply that kinda of amp very much in the likeness of a Roland JC & the absolutely under-rated Laney Lionheart. I'm happy to see this amp being available after countless teasing by the EHX camp in their pedals demo. However, those who thrive live might find it more useful than indoor dwellers due to the obscene amount of volume on offer. Let's hope the MIG gains enough popularity to be offered in smaller wattage format. Here's the MIG-50 in action:
