Solid State..Valvetronix Amps the past 25 years have become Amazing i used only Tube Amps from 1973 to 2009..that when i was introduced to the Marshall MG 1OOFX 2X12 Stock Celestion Speakers and Vox VT 120 2X12..havent used a Tube Amp of any kind since 2009 dont need too
I am not a musician of any kind, but my bro bought a Vox VT20+ and hooked it up to his Ricky 330.
F***ing awesome.
I just cannot believe the sound he gets for the money it cost.
Besides the great tone, he has a plethora of effects to keep you busy experimenting.
The build quality is absolutely rock solid, too.
I may not be a musician, but I know when things are built extremely well.
I also know when equipment sounds good.
Just to clear up the Tube issue; Valvetronix Amps have a 12AX7 tube, that IS in the power section. I know that we always associate the "12AX7" tube with a preamp. However, our technology in Valvetronix is called the "VALVE REACTOR". It reacts like the the original amp's power section. This power tube technology creates abundant headroom.
I'm going to give my AD15VT amp away to my twelve year old nephew for Christmas. He's learning how to play the guitar. He'll love it.
Bought VT30 last week and I can`t stop playin` on it!
I got one of these amps not to long ago and I love it, the presets are a little iffy but with some small changes in bass and treble and you can get any sound you want , I play metal and I can get some really nice deep distorted sounds out of this.
@JuanSaler
the "Green" mode is focused on the raw amp models, with just a touch of reverb or delay in the presets. "Orange" mode features many effects in it's presets. "Red" is dedicated to artist patches, to copy the tones of famous songs.
The Valvetronix amps really are great. I have a VT50 in my bedroom and I really enjoy its versatility. I will say that I swapped out its stock speaker for a Celestion Vintage 30, which I prefer. For what it's worth, my little Vox actually does almost as good a job of emulating a classic Robin Trower tone as my big Marshalls do. It really is an amazing little amp and it's a shame that they stopped making them.
Me too, and it does pretty good on it's "not marshall" tone. Been playing along to ACDC with my SG and its pretty much perfect. The "not a mesa" is really good too.
dude, same here...after so many bedroom/jam party amps...the 50w it's a monster, and warrior of beautiful tone. I put it thru hell and back so many times, it knows the way on it's own
Actually a great amp.
Hi, and thanks for writing! Can we ask you to explain how the video is misleading? We're happy to clarify any points in it for you. Hope all is well! -Your friends at VOX
I love this amp have had it for 5 years and the tones are grate, just want to say that no amp will sound the way it should on a RUclips vid you have to get your hands on the amp to really know what you can do with it .
Best thing about these... the output dial. Best. Idea. EVER.
Freddy DeMarco, you can really tell he is the brother of epic Johnny DeMarco :D
Bram Claes hell yeah!!
I thought they are the same guy, just jumping from boss to vox
I think you've all missed the main point here. Aside from now being sold on the amp (I tried it out last week at my local guitar shop- and it really is great), the faces Freddy makes are absolutely priceless. If this amp makes me do those rock and roll faces, it's worth every penny.
I noticed that right from the very first clip. He cannot not make a face. Hilarious.🤘🏼🤘🏼
I'm getting this thanks VOX.
awesome piece of an amplifier :)
Modeling amps are for versatile players who a) don't mind that they're not the highest end boutique tube amps, b) do many gigs that vary in style/genre and appreciate all the features, while not THE BEST effects or maximum control over them, its enough to get through the gig and make that money.
Bingo!!
I will never sell my VT. He plays great ! Shows off the amp nice!
@cromaticas..Dude,,that's the face of someone getting INTO something that he loves man. I've seen some great guitarist really riff it out & they ALL have some kind of expression on their face. It's called FEELING dude..and it actually does exist.
Hi from England. Grow up.
@RGuitarAxel , Thanks mate. After tinkering for a while i must say that the Slash and Brian May settings are absolutely awesome and sound almost spot on, shame i dont though.
@VOXampsforever i just got the vt50 today and could not be happier.
Omg it's been 12 years since these came out.....
Freddy are you and Johnny twins. Both of you are awesome guitar players.
I bought my Vox Valvetronix VT30 in 2008 and I think this problem has been around with it since. Some of the amp models on the amp have more hiss then some of the other amp models on the amp but I hear it when I play a string. I test how much hiss each amp model has by palm muting the lowest string and playing it. I have the noise reduction set so there is the least amount of noise or no noise at all. The amp is quieter but again I hear the hiss when I palm mute a string and play it. And I understand the more gain there is the more noise or hiss you're going to have but some of the heavier gain amp models have less hiss than others. And even some low gain and cleaner amp models have a little bit of hiss when played. I tested both my les paul and Stratocaster and the amount of hiss on each amp model is the same with both guitars. I like the heavier amp models because I'm a metal fan and I am trying to record a power metal album. So I want the amp to be as "clean" as possible while still having the heavy distortion (if that makes sense to you). If you could tell me every way you know how get rid of the hiss that would be extremely appreciated. Thanks.
@stratocod: Right you are my friend. Those Rockgasm faces are awesome!
Thanks, I'll check that out now then!
@metalismymum you can use effects pedals on the vt100, like wah or effects not on the amp, or whatever foot pedal you want, it can also run through a 16 ohms speaker
He's got all the right rockstar mouth expressions down pat
This sound much better than my Vox VT.
dude this guy gets so into the music
@murfdog19 Yes, I have played one of the fenders. I personally think that the VOX is more versatile. You can get the sound the fender will give you, and more. Also, this amp is a partial tube amp, so you can get great tube-like tones from it. What styles of music do you normally play?
@Hellozan11 no, the foot switch is separate and sells for about $60
Great guitarfaces!
Awesome amps!I wish Vox kept the chrome face plate grille.I wonder if i can find it so i can replace the the cloth on my VT20+
why are people hating?... i think this is a pretty good review.....
@ArtPolo1990 on the vt20+ you can crank the wattage up to 30 watts.
I think you can crank the vt40+ to 50.
@Classix1969 im not sure if you own one of these amps but you can get amazing tube tones from it, it's a tube amp so you only get the tube tone when you turn up your volume, you can also change the amount of watts it uses so can play turn it up on full volume at pratice volumes, but if you're talking about the video tone the metal tone is ok but vox guitars aren't very metal so it sounds alittle fuzzy
got the vt30 for 1 day now and its so fucking nice and powerfull!!!
Im thinking about to buy one of these amps, and im just wondering if it is enough for a live performance... Is a VOX VT100 enough?
so why is it that i have this exact same amp, but my control panel is completely different?
The ac30bm is the best gain setting. I use it for all of types of gain driven songs. Like my favorite Metal.
@TylerVanderkooy I play a little of everything. On stage I use an Orange AD30HTC and Orange 2x12 cabinet. People say the Orange amps aren't versatile, but the AD30 does it all for me. I'm looking for something that can cover all territories but in a smaller package....and of course much less expensive.
I love using this baby in the studio x]
I have seen other videos where people are playing this amp and it sounded great. It sounds very ordinary in this video.
For what it is (valve amp) this is a fairly good sounding amp. I have owned one. I traded up to a Bugera 6262 all tube and for a cheap tube amp, the Bugera was very nice. I'd say if you need al of those effects built in for home use, get the Vox. If you you minimal effects and just have a few pedals, you can't beat raw tube for tone.
Because he's a jazz fusion player, and they seem to loathe dynamics, so they sound as you say...ordinary
@@larslevinberget9558 smoke another one bro
It's not miked maybe that's why.
the boutique metal setting at 2:54 sounds the best to my taste
I'm getting this amp.
@6stringsoffaith 12" will always provide a fuller range at any wattage.
My 50w still looks and works like new, the thing's a tank!
I just got one of these - a VT40 - and it sounds pretty good. I can get some really neat cleanish sounds by accident if I close my eyes and rotate knobs. Some hum and hiss problems. Main weirdness is when I shift the gain knob by an eighth of an inch the amp goes dead. WTF? Maybe I should read further in the manual!
@ChillStuntMan yes :) Underneath the guitar input is a headphones out
there are 2 ways, if playing saved settings, the 1rst is for banking and 2,3,4,5 are for the channels, with the preset mode the 1rst is for banking and others are for tab tempo, effects, bypass ect.
I legit thought this was the guy from the Roland/Boss gear. Johnny DeMarco apparently has an identical twin with the same hair and mannerisms. Incredible.
Hi! I am from Bosnia, I bought your VOX VT 100, and I must say that I am so glad and satisfied, It's loud, the tone is great, but I have a question!? I bought the VFS5 footswitch, and there are 8 stored sounds/programs, whatever.. Is it the same 8 programs, sounds on every VT series, or it isn't, because if it is I would like to know wich amp models did you use on the stored effects/programs. I would like to know wich amp model is on ch. 4 in first bank, the red bank, the tone is amazing! thanks
does a cort guitar go good with this amp?
@lordsombre you can get some good metal sounds you have to fiddle threw it a bit though, and a bit of advice I find that if you want it to be clear and make it not sound like ," it has a blanket over it" is tilt the amp up a bit or get a stand that tilts it up and it will sound fine I'll try to get a video up of this amp and play some metaly kinda stuff to show the world
I love mine!
@murfdog19 I would say that the Vox VT 15 watt or 30 watt would be perfect. Unless you don't put microphones on the speakers. If you don'd mike the speakers up, you might want to go with one of the more powerful versions, like the 50 or 100 watt ones.
@musicfan101ful buy the vox vt footswitch and and change the channels, with the factory settings channel 1 is clean and 3-4 are overdriven, or you can just press the button on the amp
@maidenman74 yeh it take abit of getting used to, theres no fault, it sounds that way :( although you can get some awesome crunchy tones just switch to the UK modern and adjust the gain to what you want, then put you treble around 7 and you bass around 5 and mids about 4-5 too and about 3 reverb, and adjust any effects you want, you can use Us '90s model too that gives abit more crunch with those settings but not as much gain, hope it helped man
yeah it was a bit daft but its hard to decide on something, this or the vox15v 12" ? its the same price point but what is the better quality ? can this do what it does ? cause if so I will take all this ultra sweet icing they have added along with the extra watts !
@RijadHabibovic I am sorry, I think it's the green bank, first bank, ch.4. Really nice distortion/overdrive, I would be pleased if you could tell me witch amp models, parameters did you use in all 8 stored programs. and sorry for my bad english.
@tubitooxuulo really? i didn't know that!. Thanks a lot for your answer man! from Cordoba Argentina
I have a Vt50 and it sounds WAY better than that. I can only assume this was recorded via the line-in. Mine sounds nowhere near as muffled as that. Amazing amp.
@TheDacy yeah i want that old like rock sound, would a vox go better with a fender strat then a marshell because i heard that marshall and gibson should be put together and put fender and vox together
i have a problem with my vt50, well i dont know if it's me or the amp, i like to play metal and i don't find the tone for it, i mean, i like the distortion of the UK modern amp, but i dont like the tone, and i like the tone of metal bull but not the distortion, is it possible to edit the amplifiers??? i use them in manual mode but is the same problem!! please help me.. im stucked between returning the amp or keep it x.x
did u fixed the problem
Dude I remember seeing your videos so long ago. And here’s a 10 year old comment on some obscure guitar amp vid. The internet is a strange place
Yes it is
@@yunggrim958 not obscure at all, probably obscure to you
can you connect an expression pedal to control the effects from the amp?
All, can anyone explain me .. Can we use the same "VT Valvetronix" which used in this video for ACOUSTIC GUITAR also ? Is there a way to use this amp for Acoustic guitar also ? I tried it but no sound was coming from AMP .. Please advice.. thanks in advance !!!!...
@stevehogarth85
In my opinion the new VT50, is a better option, as it has more storage for programs, 8 to be exact, and more features including independent reverb and harmonizing effects. I like the overall tone and voicing of the VT50 over the XL series, even with it being one speaker compared to the two speaker configuration in the XL model.
I'd love to buy this amp, but I've got all the effects it covers already so I feel like I'd be half wasting my money. What I'd really like is this exact amp range but without the effects.
ok 6:18 is one of the funniest things I've seen... he is really digging it!
Does anyone know any good setting and amp model for a Brian may tone on a vt100 and using a treble booster?
The vt 15 and vt 30 dont have a external cab output on it, but the vt 50 and 100 watt have got one, (vt50 -> 8 ohm, vt100 -> 16 ohm)
This guy can sell everything
The Vox VT100 and ADVT series Vox Amps were the best wish Vox would reissue them
i just bought a VOX VT120+ amp and when i first plugged it i forgot to check the current voltage. I connected it to a 250V AC current and when i switched it on I heard a "woo" sound from INSIDE the amp,the LED's flashed and it went off.The fuse died so i replaced the fuse and used a transformer (120v), now the power is fine,buttons are working but there's NO sound.I tried AUX-in and headphones too, so i was hoping if you could tell me what to do OR how to get it fixed ...any suggestions guys?
@TylerVanderkooy Okay, that's good to know. I may have played one at Guitar Center once, but I can't remember if it was the VT. I haven't owned a solid state amp since I was a little kid, but I would like to buy a modeling amp for practice and studio work. How does this compare to the Fender G DEC? Have you played one of those?
Dear everyone. I just bought a vt 15 to be used as a practice amp as i like its features (particularly the power section at the back and also the amount of amps available). Now the thing is my guitar is a fender telecaster thinline reissue and when i use it with the vt 15 i dont get as enough gain as the one in the video, even if i max my gain + volume + master volume! Am i doing anything wrong or is it my guitar? Help!
I had a feeling it was my guitar. What pickups would you suggest me to use?
And yes it is the vt 15
pls tell me, should i buy the vox 30 or line 6 spider IV 30? I like versatility and mostly heavy sounds. I also consider buying a marshall or a peavey or even a roland cube!
how do u get the songs to play through the actull amp im not sure if the song actully plays or its just the effects of how the guy actully plays it??
which is better for a fender strat a vox or a marshell
Hi there i have a bit of an issue about the VFS5 footswitch, in manual mode, channel 2 doesn't seem to scroll between the intervals of the pitch, i also made sure that the pitch effect isn't bypassed. can anyone tell me how this could be fixed? thanks
I bought this amp recently, so first of all IM IN LOVE. Secondly I noticed, when you want to play a guitar in a music shop, the workers will be weird if you want to try a really expensive guitar if they think you aint guna buy it....but...when you try out an amp...you can play any fucking you want and they dont care xD
Yeah thats my advise guys, go try out this amp and choose the most expensive guitar you can find to play it through ;)
i have a valvetronix ad15vt and from when i bought it it makes this fuzzing vibrating and you can hardly hear the guitar tone ive tried lots of things to fix it but it still doesnt work
now i just plug it into a p.a and use it as a effects processor (this doesnt use the valve , speaker or amp circuit)
@cyreander Indeed, my old guitar teacher (who has played for 29 years now) uses this one because of the great metal and blues tones that are available. And the VT50 has external speaker output, so he also uses it for gigs. Haven't Joe Satriani used some VOX? Or at least tried.
I get a crackling noise when playing this amp. I use the noise gate, but it still does it (and i don't even think it has to do with the noise gate). How do I stop it?
4:20 he goes kinda Bill & Ted, awesome amp,. I've never played a better amp in my life, I swear by them, I prefer them over my valves too, more reliable, if you haven't got one already, get one!
Hi.. If we connect an ACOUSTIC guitar with this VOX amp , does it work ???? I tried but no sound came. Even if this is purely for electric amps, i want to experiment with acoustic but no sound coming . Please advice...
Is the vt40+ enough to play with drum in pubs or small locals?? or is the vt50 better??
whats better for classic rocks these amps or orange amps ?
Hi, just took delivery of my VT100, my first impression is its very bassy, and i cant seem to get any of them crunchy sounds from it, the 'enter sandman' setting is just not enterring the sandman. sounds quite muddy. could there be a fault on my amp
There is just something I don't know do you need to change the tubes?
i just bought a vt100 amp its amazing, im looking for a VC12SV foot controller and cant seem to find one to buy, where do i find one? is it out yet? i seen it on the vox website but not to buy?
Is the vt loud enough to gig with coz my ad15 isnt and wanna stay with vox but dont want nothing too big or expensive
hello guys
my doubt is this:
wich is better between VOX AD50VT-XL (2 CONES) and NEW VOX VT50 with single cone?
thanks for the answer
I wish I still had mine.
Since you never got a response - some higher output pickups of any type, but humbuckers are the best for high gain playing.
should i get this or a line 6 spider 4 120 watt
3:55 to 4:18 sounded pretty good
I wonder how this amp would sound next to my peavey classic 50 or my marshall dsl
