«  Extraordinary! Never seen as comprehensive and powerful. »

This has already been cited above, but with some errors:
This is an amp modeling opportunities ... endless!

11 amp models
x 3 Definitions different (Basic-Effect-Song) = 33 amp models
x 3 banks Amp (Standard-Special-Custom) = 99 modeling amp! (I said ninety nine!)
And just for fun, there is the option "manual" which reduces it to an amp which is therefore normal 100! (But this is just the beginning, since everything is customizable to leisure and saved in the 2 x 4 banks personal sound.
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)
