This video is a comedy of errors. It documents an utterly failed attempt to repair a Vox MV50 Clean micro amp with a Korg 6P1 NuTube in the preamp. Although the NuTube was not the failure, I get the sneaking suspicion that this is a cheesy, gimmicky attempt to wrestle more dollars from guitar tone seekers who would be far better off simply buying something more traditional (AND SERVICEABLE) with a 12AX7 in the preamp. The output stage contains a Texas Instruments TPA3118, which is a 60W Class D amplifier in a 32-pin surface mounted IC about the size of my pinky nail! Replacing it will take incredible patience and a steady hand - neither of which I possess. The fact that Vox / Korg will NOT support their products by supplying a schematic for servicing means this thing becomes another piece of E-waste garbage in the landfill when it breaks. My advice is DO NOT BUY anything with this surface mounted SMD garbage unless you just like throwing money away, especially if the company that made it will not support their product.
