    The 'catch all' guitar amp

    Vox VT40+ Published on 04/07/15 at 22:15
    Overview

    Vox is a name that is synonymous with quality guitar amplifiers. They are especially famous for their tube amplifiers that produce warm clean tones and smooth overdrives, like the AC30 and smaller AC15. More recently, though, Vox has released the Valvetronix series of "modeling" combo amps ranging from 20W to 120W. Each of these amps includes 33 different digital amp models (11 types with 3 different variations for each), and a host of other effects and presets on tap for the musician who wants a "catch all" amplifier at an affordable price. With the 11 types of amp models, along with volume and EQ controls, the Valvetronix amps can dial in tones reminiscent…

    Overview

    Vox is a name that is synonymous with quality guitar amplifiers. They are especially famous for their tube amplifiers that produce warm clean tones and smooth overdrives, like the AC30 and smaller AC15. More recently, though, Vox has released the Valvetronix series of "modeling" combo amps ranging from 20W to 120W. Each of these amps includes 33 different digital amp models (11 types with 3 different variations for each), and a host of other effects and presets on tap for the musician who wants a "catch all" amplifier at an affordable price. With the 11 types of amp models, along with volume and EQ controls, the Valvetronix amps can dial in tones reminiscent to iconic Vox, Fender, Marshall, and other classic amps. The crown jewel of this amp (and where the name "Valvetronix" comes from) is the 12ax7 tube built into the preamp, making this amplifier one of the few 'hybrid' amps on the market--a combination of tube and solid state circuitry. This means that guitarists can have access to tube-driven sound without paying an arm and a leg for it.

    My Experience

    I purchased the Vox VT40+ amplifier for a 3-month summer tour, traveling and playing music on a daily basis. I wanted an amp that would travel easy (we had to pack light), stand up to road wear, and give me several options to choose from. I also purchased Vox's VSF5 foot switch that remotely controls the custom presets and effects on the amp.

    The initial factor that drew me quickly to this amplifier was the great price, but I soon discovered that I had access to much more than a simple amp with a few built in effects. The VT40+ has some great features like the variable wattage control, eight customizable presets, multiple reverb settings, built-in tuner, tap tempo control, headphone output, and a manual setting (which overrides the preset setting). In addition, there are several on-board digital effects, most of which are actually useful. I have used multiple settings on the VT40+ and programmed my own custom presets (though I only use the manual setting on the amp now with my pedal board).

    I purchased this amp brand new 4 years ago, and the original 12ax7 tube is still going strong. Also, during the initial 3-month tour when I bought the amp new, it withstood a variety of environments indoors and outdoors--even extreme humidity at times. I have never experienced any malfunctions or issues with the amp in the years I have owned it, and that's impressive considering all the controls on the interface are digital. I can also attest to the amp's durability; it has fallen over, been thrown around, and moved frequently during the time I have owned it. The VSF5 foot switch is also durable, housed a sturdy metal case, and works seamlessly with the VT40+ amp.

    These days, my VT40+ is mostly used as a versatile practice amp as I have graduated to bigger tube amps, but I would never hesitate to use this amp as a live back up in a pinch (in fact, I have a few times). It's been faithful to me, and I've been highly satisfied with its performance.

    Quick Note

    For all the VT40+ offers, there are a few 'duds' amongst the huge selections of amp models and effects to choose from. By 'duds,' I mean strange effects or over the top distortion modeling that does not sound very natural. But once you have done enough tweaking and found the sound you like (or several), you can immediately save it as a custom preset for future use. The best part about the custom presets is that they are always rewritable, so you're never stuck with what you choose.

    Bottom-Line

    The Vox VT40+ is just one of several Valvetronix amps that provide flexibility, in-the-box effects, and tube-driven sound. It has enough on-board options to inspire new ideas, but also enough power and durability to make it gig worthy, if you need it.

    UTILIZATION

    That said, a few minutes are necessary for proper grip and a few days to really take advantage of all possibility of the amp.
    A little more use of pedal footswitch VFS5 for choosing 8 settings made by our hands.
    The manual is clear and should be read to truly enjoy the possibilities of the amp presets are provided amply for failing to plug the guitar.

    SOUNDS

    The sound is good, even surprising. The advantage of a real volume knob that allows you to play "not safe" keeping the gain.
    For my part I play StartoCatser Fender Texas Special pickups with. It gives good. It retains the identity Fender long as you do not go on the high gain presets.
    I also play with Martins folk cutaway with a Fishman. Acoustic presets are round and full but you have to play on the reverb and the knobs to have a "wet" sound so to speak and relatively deep.
    Finally I also play on Ibanez AFJ85-VSB and there, I must say that it is happiness. Especially emulation AC15 or AC30.

    I use little effect pedals. I dropped the pedal to sound, it was not justified to keep it. For Fender, I play is blues and there is a very interesting preset, and Ibanez, no effect pedal that is not justified for what I do.

    In conclusion, the sound is really good and respects the instruments. However, a slight hum may be heard when the master is pushed.
    This is an amp that needs to speak as he should not be stuck in a wall corner otherwise an echo may occur.
    Finally, a power which I was not aware of the purchase and, I say thank you to output volume knob that is just essential for this type of amp.

    The amp that is priced where it is, the sound is wonderful.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I now use it for a little over a year.
    Advised by my dealer, I left a 30 w Fender Reverb Vox. I do not regret it.
    I also tested other amp therefore more like a 40 W Orange and a nice round Roland. But it is the only one that allowed me to play all my guitars with a single amp.
    Clearly no regret. Even if I had more means to put in an amp, I'm not sure as I have bought another. Especially since I'm not a buff effects pedals. Also, I found a different sound without spending hours in the settings.
    Finally, the sound is constant, so no adjustment again when we go to a friend or when you make a beef. It is light, handy and robust.
    To have swarmed the Marshall 100W double head I'm glad to have this nice little cube, aesthetics and dynamic (and yes it sends heavy) to move.

    If I had to do ... I'm ready to buy a second.

    SOUNDS

    Tremendous versatility because you get any sound imaginable with a remarkable clear sound. The range is huge distortions can do everything.
    Let's exceptional side of this amp is the sound!
    The effects are good, at least the main ones: chorus, delay, reverb ...
    The great side of this amp is the three buttons for power, volume, and master power level. Can be set from 1 to 60 W, it can cover a battery but can also play at very low volume retaining all the characteristics of a sound, such as sustain a note.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 1 year and I have no complaints about him he released his superior combos that cost twice as much, it is very light, it allows to walk on all styles.
    To acquire eyes closed unless you want to invest in a tube amp.

    This bank 8 sounds stored and also controllable by the pedal vox that I bought in option 67 € (the price for power change for a piece!)

    SOUNDS

    I play mostly blues / rock clean or crunch, and I found very good sounds (in Solicitating clean) that I agree, but without being completely overwhelmed;
    Note that I only tested in an apartment and therefore low volume (only 1/4 of the volume so it grows!) I therefore look forward to the test group (with battery) in a room next week ... I will come to you for the feedback.

    OVERALL OPINION

    Combo very easily transportable and compact but damn powerful ... Offering a range of sounds and effects almost infinite, with good sound quality (clean and crunch in Solicitating).
    It should suit the vast majority of users like me who play mainly at home and occasionally buff.

    This amp is really perfect with my Gibson Les Paul as well as with my Ibanez 170, and will also probably with a Fender or similar, there is no reason.
    This amp is very versatile, and the settings and effects are largely sufficient, at least for me who do not want to spend hours fiddling of pot in every sense.
    Has had a good idea is to combine the Vox settings to a song (well known). Easy to find a sound 'in the style of "Cocaine", "Satch Boogie" and "Foxy Lady".

    I already had a few different amps as Marshall MG100DFX, Beringer vampyre, Line6 spider1 and then flextone3 2 +, and Roland microcube.

    Sincerely at this price, this has the size, at this price, an amp that can compete with my jcm 800 ... I'm going through a bunch of amp modeling and this is THE best of him.
    If you find an amp for home, repets, portable, look no more!
    The worst is that for a modeling amp I do not use dutout its versatility: I play almost all the time on modeling the jcm 800 with little gain, and I sound frusciante ... and I weigh my words. It is bewildering ...

    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for two years, and if it fails one day, I rachette in one day ...
    This is the best amp that can be found playing everywhere (except in concert, I prefer my jcm ...).
    It costs only about € 200, he had ample worth double ...
    Vox Congratulations!

    How long have you use it? Since yesterday ...

    Have you tried many other models before acqurir? A "small" Mesa-Boogie, impossible to use in apartments, and weighing a ton. The Pathfinder 15 w. Vox, thundering clarity and - brace yourself - best for nylon strings amplified.

    Then, it puts everyone in agreement. Here is THE amp I was looking for a long time. I had Marshall (transistor and lamp, whose JVM410C), I tried the Fender (transistor and light mid-range) of line 6, and multi effects pedal (Korg). I acknowledge that apart from the JVM410C, I have always remained in the entry and mid-range. But, hoooooooooo surprise. How an amp of this price may issue such a ?????????????? I still do not understand. The sound is really, really, really good. I rediscovered the guitar with this amp. The effects are pretty good too, not to say very good. Only the chorus is a little behind. Normal, I had an Analog Chorus pedal before. Its clean and fast enough to crunch through (very good indeed, but not necessarily desired). While reducing the gain, but then it lacks a bit of fishing.
    It is clear that this amp is rocker. AC / DC, Metallica, Offspring, Guns n 'roses go well with. For blues players, I do not think it will do.
    I really recommend this amp is that of happiness.

    OVERALL OPINION

    I have this amp for a week. I let go. Several hours of play per night.
    The value is simply unbeatable prices, incomprehensible. I repeat, how could release a VOX amp is also good quality at a price so small?

    What I like most: Everything (almost)
    What I like least: The chorus is a little behind, clean and crunch by quickly. Lowering the gain, we avoid the problem (a problem that is not necessarily because ca crunch of high quality, but when we are looking for a clear sound is more annoying), but lowering the gain , we find ourselves having to quickly push the volume to make up for this loss of power.
    We also regret to have only eight storable presets. It was not difficult for VOX I believe, to put a little more. But ...

    I would do selected EF 1000000000000000 times!
    NOTE: I have not yet tried in groups. But according to other opinions, just power level.

    SOUNDS

    As I play mainly included all styles, it's the amp I need, no time to waste on multi-effects pedal like dashboards Airbus ..
    I scan my directory with a lot of preset sounds, from clean to outrageous overdrive.
    With just the preset, without touching anything else, except the "power level", I make it my business.
    I use three guitars, a Les Paul Elypse (micro change) to work, an Ibanez and Cort electro DV95.
    I love all the preset sounds of this amp, the only sound I hate it when ... turn it off ..

    OVERALL OPINION

    I've had 15 days, but my impression of having always been.
    I quickly tried other amps (Fender, Marshall, Line 6) not be as packed as this one.
    This quej'aime most is his power, surprising for its small size, and therefore little weight (10.9 kgs). I am a bit nomadic, it's ideal for my vertebrae.
    For less than 300 euros, having such a device is simply unexpected.
    Now, professionals deem otherwise. But believe me, it shakes!
    A purchase of any emergency.

    A bit weak for me

    Vox VT40+ Published on 04/20/11 at 23:36
    Let me first start by saying I'm not a fan of amp modelers. Most of them are really weak and completely unnatural. Most that I have played or heard, have been extremely sub par. This one is no exception.

    The first few channels are fairly clean channels and then it goes up to the standard Vox tones and then as you turn the dial you get heavier and heavier. Some gems in between but for the most part it has a couple good sounds, but this is a pass amp.


    Vox VT40+ Combo Guitar Amplifier Features at a Glance:

    SOUNDS

    This is one of the most odd amps I have ever come across. First off this is a hybrid amp which means it uses tubes but it doesn't use all the tubes like a tube amp would. This amp has no preamp tubes however, it has a preamp tube in the power tube section. I have never seen this operation before. I'm not an amp engineer but that just seems out of place to me.

    Anyway, the first few channel or amp models are very blah. Once you hit the Vox section it starts to sound better. Then is begins to get really distorted and metal tones. These are pretty good but the US Metal is horrible! The other metal or rock tones are pretty decent, but this particular one is just a pass for me tone wise.

    OVERALL OPINION

    For me this is a must pass amp. I don't find enough tones that are usable for me. The cleans are not up to par and the the tone overall is not that good. This preamp in the power section is really a weird operation to me.

    At new these units come in at around $$240 which isn't a bad price, but I think VOx has a couple other amp modeler amps that sound better. For the Peavey amp modeler for $100 has far better tones and usability than this amp. I wouldn't recommend this amp to anyone because it just doesn't sound that great.

    Should I add effects "pedal" (11)? the reverb? the delay's?, noise gate? ... is a book it would take to describe it, like Oxford, and gourmet and more.

    One thing is still essential, essential if one wishes to operate the aircraft best possible way: The record! (I take this opportunity to thank the feathers in my cap sweep the floor, Mr. porschica, who was kind enough to scan me hers, as mine was in Germain (purchased from MusicStore)



    UTILIZATION

    Yes and no. The setup is deceptively simple, but a lot of subtleties are intuitive after reading this leaflet.
    We immediately obtain an extraordinary sound, and then starts to get his sound.
    The manual, when we are lucky to have him in his language is very clear, especially essential for access to higher grades.

    SOUNDS

    It is suitable for all styles of music, without exceptions. Even without getting into it thanks to the manual, everything is possible, and we learn (slowly) by groping. Nothing complicated, however, but we win a lot of time to know which button to press.

    All sounds are accessible. I play it with the "acoustic appliances (no feedback through the 12AX7 preamp + sound is worthy of my amps provided for these guitars (Laney), with gutares Jazz résonnator with a semi-acoustic, and ... the main Fender Stratocaster VG (modeling) and finding EVERYTHING works perfectly. The sin, the answer, the silhouette of each guitar is respected, and I would even say "revealed".

    I'm in the register of "severe blues" or "soft rock" in a group of angry and grumpy older degenerate. Well they look at me now, thanks to the amp as if I was dating I pretty 11 years my junior. They are envious! I guess.


    OVERALL OPINION

    I use it for 3 weeks now.
    So far, I played live on a "Line 6 Spider II-212" Modelling and pechu enough, but the "master" is hardly controllable). I also Laney, Peavey's, fender, marshall and, except for the Peavey 300 (cone of 18 "8 is war!) We must recognize that they are all beaten by VOX.
    I should mention that I fell in love with the famous VOX AD15VT which I use in apartments, but has only two channels.

    What I like most: I bought the pedal VFS5 (simplicity itself: five buttons, which programmed sounds beforehand). The amp has 2x4 = 8 sounds you program / save yourself. This means that you have no less than 8 pedals! (One begins with five feet across). So these effects pedals are no longer necessary (and so I sell them).
    What I like least:

    1-Can not find user manual in French for download on the site VOX (only Briton, or Yank) As purchased in Germany, the instructions provided in germain is, of course. (Thank you again for helping to porschica)

    Output 2-line phones cut-out of HP's amp, so ... by resuming his microphone to a table and ...

    3 .- not possible to attach (bind) the microphone to the amplifier via the front grille (which I did with the AD15VT. So you need a microphone stand.

    With the experience I would do the same choice without hesitation. Although interested in his VT80 + 12 "I am delighted to have opted for the VT40 +, lighter and above all its size almost equivalent to AD15VT. And the HP 10" really has nothing to envy the 12 "( I had secretly tried in a store where I did not buy)

    the effects of the amp are simple but this is not the primary aim of this amp which is far superior sound quality.


    SOUNDS

    it is suitable for all styles of music and I play it with a les paul and a Start yds eruption and the amp respects their respective sound.
    the reverb, delay and chorus are just wonderful for me.
    distortions are beautiful and perfect fuzz
    the amp is simple compared to the possibility of effects settings of a multi-effects pedal similar price but excels in sound is just perfect.
    then a multi effects pedal on it would make a perfect and more analog.
    small defect, there are only 8 memories in a 2-bank enough but we would have liked a little more.


    OVERALL OPINION

    I will soon look at the peavey 30w vypyr So I will publish my comments but for the moment, again, I would buy it back.
    The price-quality ratio is excellent except for one thing, release and grafted mp3 a little sore narrow.
    otherwise the look is too beautiful, reasonable weight.

    I would say in summary that this amp is for those who do not like wasting time with endless effects settings but being quite versatile and hotter than a transistor amp clean.

    I have not really tried to create my own sound without using an existing sound. is possible but it seems a bit tedious at first.
    Too bad there is not a small display to display the name of the sound being used. Please take the list in the manual to know which one it is.

    SOUNDS

    I play a PRS SE single cut.
    The cleans sounds are just incredible. This is probably due to the lamp. It sounds very warm compared to my old amp.
    The distos are good. I do not like them all but there are really that worthwhile.
    For now I have not tried to play with effects on the amp. For the moment I have not had any use for the effects included are very good.


    OVERALL OPINION

    I for 5 days and I am very satisfied. I took it to the final again to see if it was enough for small gigs. I planted on our sound system and frankly it tears. It is small and light but it really in the belly.
    Unfortunately I have no footswitch to enjoy as a group. So I ordered it and I should receive it very soon. I am delighted.
