All user reviews for the Vox DA5

Small transistor combo, 5Watt RMS, an instrument input, microphone input with independent control at the rear, an AUX input and output LINE / PHONE

Power selector convenient not to do too much hp *** r neighbors: choose = 0.5, 1.5, 5 ..

11 amp style
11 Effect Bypass
1 gain, 1 tone, 1 master, how stupid ...
-1 For lack of equalization ..

UTILIZATION

So you can easily find its sound (the principle of modeling)
The styles offered are interesting, playing with the volume of the scratch and win, yes, we get often what we seek ....

The manual is clear and particularly well done with a hint of humor ....

SOUNDS

So I play mostly trash, heavy, alternative, blues and even in my spare time, in short any Polivalente and the amp is very valuable on that side ....
I play Ibanez SA120 and VBT700 and we obtain a range of interesting .. the sound of sharp higain 1.2 and 3 in the round of crunch cruchy see a very fat for crunch and drive 2, the sounds are rather nice ..

The cleans (2) and blues (3 in number, + in + dirty) are no longer left pa ..

We regret the lack of bass (-2), however, offset by a power of Hp hurrisante probably very high performance .. (1)

OVERALL OPINION

Well, you want a trick to P'ti work at home?

For 98roros on TOTO == https://www.thomann.de/fr/vox_da5.htm
Here is a good answer ...

For spcificits see the animal in VOX or lower.
It is a portable combo amp with modlisations and effects.
Can run on batteries or a transformer supplied in the box.
From scratch, headphone and auxiliary input with volume.

UTILIZATION

Melts in your mouth, not in your hand.
The sologan is ridiculous but it also has the DA5. One might say p "small and couillu" or "it has everything a great" ... moo no, they say nothing. Fi.
One branch is lit and the bte playing. A switch to switch the power amplifier at three levels: gentle, friends, neighbors with FCH. 5 Watts they say, and with a loudspeaker ridiculous. Bah thin, they are o the others on the HP box? Yes, it is not heavy, cheap and YES he yells like a pig. Wild thing.

One knob for gain (Days of saturation of the amplifier Modl a knob for output level, one of slecteur modlisation a slecteur effects. Two buttons a couple knob to adjust or effects. and roll.

I did not take this thing to compete with my big Flextone3 More 2x75watts and potato. But without laughing, if less kinds modlisations the Flex, the quality of sound (the reported size of the box) is more than correct and even good if only one could pass not 2 / 3 of the gain and volume on HiGains.

I have not opened the manual.

SOUNDS

You can play everything with it in principle.
- Best in clean (with or without effect)
- Trs crdible in crunch
- Good saturation
- Nice in distortion "mtal" (not the amp the most suitable)

Jou a week (at the pool, a difference at the a) Start with an EMG in 89/SA/SA. Blues, Rock and BIG Wock n 'woll. Say anything bad, it's thundering.

OVERALL OPINION

A word of advice:
You got 100 euros in my pocket, a scratch and ides correct in all genres of music, this amp is for you, your and your Twingo LOFT Paris 25m. With him you will keep your girlfriend (or worry you will do in a public park in him playing srnade), good relations with your neighbors, and especially you keep enough to pay the train ticket to show beautiful landscapes. Cheap, not heavy, not at all dgueu. THE amp travel or room.

"H MIDI, turns your MG15 DFX and try-a instead of not understanding why you got a sound all keuss. The ball is atomic this thing." Not compatible with the Tektonik on the other hand, but all the better.

Everything has already been said.
I have the "classic" version that recalls the AC 30. It's pretty!

UTILIZATION

Easy to use as well as knowing when the guitar and the style we must choose the proper sound and play with the gain, one can, strictly speaking, do without the manual: mine is in German or I do not mean that language, fortunately he has a sketch for the settings of the FX.
So the use is more complex than the micro cube on which all the more passe.De Vox is more powerful and more cash with its HP 6.5 '(5' to the mc). I was amazed at the volume of the microphone!
The different powers available, autonomy and the headphone output make it a truly versatile tool for work and travel.
The unit is well built and well finished (Vietnam).

SOUNDS

Suitable for almost all musical styles from classical to rock guitar. Beginners groping before you know it servir.Bonne power! HP high efficiency.
However all sounds "fake", some sounds are disappointing especially highgains 2 and 3 ("boiled transistor") but the cleans are excellents.Le micro cube has nothing to envy and distortion "correct" is more successful. Do not be fooled by the whole host of special effects that are quite successful.
The change of power is a great idea to better adjust the Vox sound.

OVERALL OPINION

So a nice little amp especially useful for travel and play in the street about the same at Roland micro cube that I know very bien.Rapport money and power jig-very interesting.
As for the long term reliability I would bet more on the Roland.

Amp 5w transistor.
Modeling effects +

UTILIZATION

No worries, we can find the sound you seek.
The only complaint is that you can not store presets .... but it is a good amp to work, not to do concerts.

SOUNDS

I plug a Les Paul Custom and a Start copy. Style blues / rock but not metal.
The two guitars have a good record. To be frank j'hsitais take account of the modlisation DA5 and I wanted a Pathfinder 10w but the DA5 has such beautiful sounds plain + ventail a sound much larger and effects!
FYI I had a long JCM900 combo (50w all-tube so) that great silent but impossible to draw a nice sound with little volume ... not really compatible with the game home.
L t I surprised by the quality of the sound and power for such a small amp.
The light is really beautiful, the Russian crunches are frankly and large saturation trs shame.
In addition the effects are there to give the little extra that could sometimes fail.

OVERALL OPINION

Bought a month ago, not at all and the price is not hsiter!
I tried a Fender Frontman 15R: Oh My! We still like stuff??
Also tried a marshall MG15CD: better than the fender but hey, not trs versatile.
Finally the little Vox is really thundering.

Everything has been said below.
Power switch on the rear 0.5 / 1.5 / 5 watts, while the amps of the earth should have it!
Three inputs, guitar / with in / microphone with adjustable volume.
Style (11 amps) / Gain / Tone / Master
Effects (11 effects) / Tap / Edit1 / Bypass

UTILIZATION

Use more than simple.
For audio it's all good, but it depends on your taste and ears!
Manuel helpful in addressing the effects section and learn more about the amps.

SOUNDS

I use a Start with us.
I use primarily a Clean / Blues 1 / Crunch 1 / 1 Higain

OVERALL OPINION

I for one year. It is versatile and incredible sound quality, nature, the headphone, to a PC with a microphone singing or placed devan my acoustic, I plug the same
in my all-tube amp, and that is that I told VOX BRAVO!

Amp transistor. The power is sufficient for trs play at home ... 3 output power: 0.5W, 2.5 and 5W. AC or battery (8 prvoir? Large piles)
Effects and rglages galore: bass / trebble. modlisation and effects: it is the only down injured.

UTILIZATION

Accs easy and intuitive. bypass, effects and modlisation well signposted.
the sound is a bit messy. Will has just the guitar (Stratocaster std mex. Anyway it's a little HP.

SOUNDS

Its broad range but is most comfortable in a clear sound, a crunch and a distortion). in fact I do not use other sounds. To each his ide to be.
The large black dot I see is that the effects of little use because we can-y playing accder (no pedals and it is what is missing). At the end is perfect to test the delay, the wah-wah, chorus and reverb (all lgrement Settings, but I'm more like a gadget.

OVERALL OPINION

I had it for 2 years before selling a musician friend who uses the portable cot. I have since bought a fender happily 5W lamp that makes me feel good trs. With the exprience I would not do this choice, but the two pedals and fender. That amp is perfect for trying but ultimately sounds not compltement exploitable. It is a good quality / price: sell first purchase to buy another?

Small transistor amp that works on AC power or batteries, 0.5 / 1 / 5 watts (small switch derrire), handy because a sending enough dj 0.5, and use fewer batteries.

It is a modlisation amp, 11 amp types and 11 effects (effects and combinations of effects), look for the ct dtail other tests, while some dj said!

It offers a really good trs in the CATEGORY little amp for home, right or left to play with effects and modlisation this VOX is by far the best.

UTILIZATION

Ultra easy to use, you plug a direct sound, turn the knobs to change the sound, it's not complicated any beginners to navigate.
You will understand how to record without delay and grate the other, or else a little reading and will be good.

What I regret is that Vox does not prvu the possibility of having a foot switch to control the modlisation and / or effects. It s'clate quickly with this amp, and when you're having fun back titles, the only thing missing, have to change hands. With a plus, it would be really great little amp.

SOUNDS

In terms of effects, not bad, it happens quickly for a rgler sounds correctly. APRS groups gnial not sound effects, but based on a jou style makes sense, then it is not too objectionable, must see that this amp has tons of things for all styles whether it's a big clean his trs mtaleux Nordic sound.

Note the self wha forcment not comfortable depending on the amp (quite hard on the sounds rgler saturated).

Modlisation level, I will mainly use two crunch (the first one is excellent), the clean sounds trs 2 well, a blues and blues rock from the old to 2 and 1 for Turkish Higain just nag (though 2 crunch is doing its job as to what style I think)).

The amp-type higain 2, 3 and drive higain forcment not sound good, but it may be my guitar, After a few rglages you get a sound not too bad, but I still feel better with a higain with three l.

I play a 6 string with an agreement in Open C, a 6-string E agreement in normal, and a seven-string B in normal as well. I plug my bass to record demos for my plans to show my group, the bass sounds at all on the HP, but the headphone output is not bad, and suddenly a model goes on trs well.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had six months I think, bought used for 60 euros. New it costs 100 euros.

It's really the amp nickel for the home, are nearly all in, so no pedals or compact with another, it is small, not loud but if asked we ship the same buff to a 5 watt, it is easy to transport if you want to play with some friends ... Frankly it's the top.

I test the Line 6 Spider spider 15 and the microphone, it's really not good, all fawn full range Spider avoid, sounded pretty bad, whether small mod or the large, Line 6 is capable of doing great stuff, I'm home and I use regularly, but the range was feared Spider.

I heard the roland cube test by a guy in a store, has sounded synthetic, I test the vox in the same store, and sounded much better, one is quickly convinced.

The Vox DA 5 is not perfect, but it's the best of its class of APRS me.
In addition there are DIFFERENT designs, in real life we ​​do not care, but something for that account! If you want to put the guitar, get this amp, having so many possibilities and sound soon surely motivate you!

I regret it, I would do the same choice, and I would change for two reasons:
- If I break it, and in this case I Rasht the same
- If VOX released a version with a footswitch!

This is not a bad little amp by any means. This amp comes at the economic small and portable side of Vox's approach to simulation amps. This is not a typical Vox amp or the tone of a Vox amp even though you have a setting. This is going to be a sterile sounding solid state digital amp simulation. However, it is not going to sound too bad and even when you running the thing with dying batteries. This thing is battery operated.

VOX DA5 Classic at a glance:

* Classic Black w/Brown Diamond Grille
* The amplifier provides eleven distinctive sound styles that can be used in various musical genres.
* This portable amplifier is powered by six C batteries or the included AC adapter, enabling you to play anywhere.
* Inputs include an AUX IN jack, for connecting an external audio device (CD, MP3 player, etc.), and a MIC INPUT jack, so you can play guitar and sing along with recorded music.
* Eleven high-quality effects are built in and seven are multi effects that let you use two effects simultaneously, plus Noise Reduction.
* The power select switch lets you adjust the output power. This means that even when the master volume is turned up to the max to drive the power amp, you can lower the volume without losing any tone or feel.

SOUNDS

This amp is not really and amp per se but a mini guitar playing speaker with amps sounds. You are not going to go up on stage with this thing or even record with it. You are going to tuck yourself away in your office or home and play without being disturbed.

I like this little unit with a Les Paul or humbucking style guitar. It has a high gain feature that sounds pretty fun to jam around with. You don't need any external effects since they have a bunch built into it. The only thing it is missing is a built in tuner. Then it would be an all in one portable office jamming machine.


OVERALL OPINION

This thing is ok and fun to mess around with. If you have spent any time with a real tube amp then this thing will not be that pleasurable for any great length of time. If you are closing your office or bedroom up and need a quite little 5 watt amp then this might be something you would go for.

At new they come in at around $140 and that isn't too bad of a price. I wish they had a tuner though then it would be great. It gets some fun tones and if you need something portable and don't care how it sounds for practicing then this might be right up your alley. I wouldn't recommend any engineer getting one of these things and if you are an engineer you probably already know that. So 14 year old kid this might be what you need.

Modeling amp that delivers 0.5 watts to 1.5 watts choice or 5 watts.
AC power or batteries.
It has a microphone input and a headphone or sound card.
It has many effects, including autowah, reverb, chorus, delay, flanger, phaser ... Each effect or torque effects is configurable, which offers sound very very different.
If we add to that 11 amp emulations (2 cleans, 3 blues, 2 crunches, 3 highgains and a drive), it makes a very broad sound palette that is shipped.

UTILIZATION

Configuration is very simple, it said the manual is helpful to understand the settings of various parameters for each effect.

However, even without a manual, it sounds very fast properly.

SOUNDS

We can play anything, although some units may be distasteful. For my part, I play clean on 1 2, 1 and 3 blues, crunch 2, 1 and highgain drive.

The sounds are more than correct for an amp (and HP) of this size, with a preference for clean and blues. Crunches are quite nice, and distos are funny, but still sound great transistors (that said I still manage to have fun playing the metallica, then surely it's not that bad!)

Given the multiplicity of settings and effects, can also generate a good big sound boiled frankly disgusting, but let it be on purpose while fucking all settings thoroughly.

OVERALL OPINION

I played on a Mesa Boogie Rect'O'Verb (which sends the hell ...), and of course we can not compare what is comparable.
That said, I am amazed, this mini-amp has a versatility and a realistic sound that amazes me, frankly it is perfect for playing in the lounge at moderate volume, and without leaving a ton of pedals of all kinds.
An excellent product, and cheap to boot.

See other reviews that are already complete for caractériqtiques. It is very comprehensive.

I would just put a layer on the portability (it fits in a bag type Eastpack) and low consumption of the device, the power selector to manage their consumption, which is a huge advantage when it runs on batteries .

UTILIZATION

config childish enough manual, it sounds right away.

SOUNDS

You can play any style without worries, it sounds in all circumstances. All simulations have something to say, and the effects are very good for an amp of this size at this price.

OVERALL OPINION

I used it several years before I separated because I only used more sufficiently.

For me there is NO equivalent model, because its power switch is unique! And if we compare the power level, for me there is no comparison with the Roland Cube, which is just a toy next to no interest: the same price there is no hesitation to have. With the DA5 was a REAL amp, with whom I even made repeated with a battery, as surprising for its size, it has a sacred potato.

The set is very good and solid. If this amp is not bad for playing at home, it is mostly outdoors, for mobile use (mini-concerts, street wild oxen in the country ...) that finds its true value. On occasion it may even help for ox or a repeat, because it has enough sweet potatoes to avoid being faced with a ridiculous battery.

No noise when you play it, its fair but the headphone should fit the master (and do not forget to APRS down!), Effects parameter, the receiver remembers not changed when we stained .
Switch 1/2-1-5 watts, has an impact especially on the bass, in fact, the volume remains in peru any case lev (ask the neighbors!).
Microphone jack rglage spar with low-cut intgr not affect anything. Not really taken the test I am silent.
HP 8 ohms, did it take for external box, I do not use the DA5 as is in fact only column, or the presence of low insouponnes the sound of this ptivox!

UTILIZATION

It's pretty simple, for the settings to cons effects better note.
The sound quality is amazing on real box, and the ample volume in an apartment.
We must turn the volume buttons gain tone for a model that has frankly amp another, and tape remain on the desired sound.
The effects are extra, finely adjustable, and copy DEFINITIONS. Nothing to do with the microcube that sounds like the robot boy in comparison, for the same price it carrment shame.
Manual very useful effects.
I can not attest to battery life, I've never been there!

SOUNDS

It's a monster amp, if so! Of course, external box.
The sound is very fast and direct, saturations Plutt old school in my point of the rectum fryer inside and that's good.
The tone is acting as the medium rather than acute, but since it's quite succeded line6 offers a real equalizer on his microspider I do not see why I should deprive myself here! grr

The compressor is very good, weird that it can be had with a rverbe, they are at Vox weird I think!

I DA5 discovery that this is a super clean sound to accommodate a multi-effects, in this case the onboard compressor is magic (pushes the sound forward, while the lchant, very tubesque as RESULT ).

OVERALL OPINION

I keep going back ... I do not know why exactly but this gal box vox still sounds fresh and more direct than the other amps that I use occasionally Room (laney p35-line6 spider30IV-orange-crush35ldx bugera v5 - marshall mg15fxnew) so this is the king.
For further convenience I use it with a multi (for distos-delay-rverb) and I do not see that asking for better work the booth ...

The new air mini3 me very intressant, absolutely must try! Frappadingues, they are on this site!

This is a VOX DA5 5W amp modeling. It has a selector (0.5, 1.5 and 5W) to measure the power. Not to make too much noise, we start at 0.5 with a volume loud enough to carry a little more dynamic amp.

It has 11 amp types (from clean to high gain) to cover a wide range of sounds.

A tone knob adjusts the tone. A gain knob plays on ... the gain of the amplifier and hence the distortion on some amps.

Side effects, there is a compressor, chorus, flanger, phaser, delay, reverb. Some may be put in chains (2 maximum), for example compressor + chorus. There is also a noise gate to reduce noise.

There is no strap for convenient wear (it would have been nice to have one before you can have it at the shoulder).

In terms of connectivity, of course the guitar input, but also a microphone input with volume control (sound will not be altered by the effects and amps), an auxiliary input jack large format (for an mp3 player for example) and an output headphone.

The all feeds with a 12V transformer (supplied) or batteries.

For 100 €, it is very correct.

UTILIZATION

Use "default" is simple: you select an amp, it adjusts the gain and tone and add an effect. on the other hand, if you want to modify the effect parameters, it gets complicated: we must both push a button and turn a knob edict. And when two effects are set simultaneously, it is not clear what influences what button. So we grope and it can be daunting for a beginner. Not very intuitive stuff. Why did not you put 3 buttons to shoot instead?

It is complicated even for the noise gate: you have to bypass the effects and touch a button by turning a Knob ... And then each amp's noise gate setting by default. So when you change your amp, it should again be the setting of noise gate does not fit.

It does not bother anyone who has ever touched multi-effects but for someone who has no experience, bof Bah, what ... It would therefore simply use the default settings at first.

And unfortunately, no footswitch ... Therefore impossible to change the guitar sounds without releasing

SOUNDS

The clean sounds are amazing! On the ass ... I borrowed from my son at times! The blues are nice crunch. For cons, the distos high gains are not really top (at least with the original HP, I have not tested on another outing with HPs larger). To hide it, you have to play on the pitch and put a little effect. It's playable but do not expect him to breathe fire.

The effects are good and can cover many types of music.

If I could find that the clean and crunch, I put 9 / 10. I put 7 / 10 for all.

OVERALL OPINION

I (well. .. my son a. ..) this amp for 3 weeks. I found the best clean sounds in the Roland Micro Cube. In distos is very close with perhaps a little more heat on the cube.

The value for money is very good and this amp can play alone at home. It is primarily an amp to play clean sounds or slightly crunch. That's why I bought it for my son who starts scratching. It is unfortunate that the edition of the effects is so heavy.

For a beginner wanting to touch the dissto, I would put 6 / 10. In my case, I put 8 / 10, mainly thanks to the clear sound quality.

This is a small, portable digital amp with 5 watts. It's basically only good for practice. There is one guitar input and a mic input in the rear of the amp. There is some amp modeling, 2 clean amps, 3 blues, 2 "crunch" settings, 3 Hi Gain amp models and one labelled "drive". There is a gain knob, a tone knob, and a master volume. There are also effects, which include reverb, delay, chorus, tremolo, flanger, phaser, compression, auto-wah, and some combinations. There's two buttons and a knob for adjusting the effects.

UTILIZATION

The general setup is easy. It gets a little more difficult when you start working with effects. The manual explains how to use them but even then it is time consuming and sometimes annoying to really adjust the effects to your specifications. The most annoying thing about it is that there are two knobs that adjust everything, so you either have to remember what each knob does for each effect or refer back to your manual every time. This gets old quickly. The manual is pretty clear about explaining everything, but it shouldn't be necessary to refer to it all the time.

SOUNDS

The amp is pretty good at simulating a diverse array of sounds. Don't expect pristine tone though. This amp really doesn't have too much too offer in terms of quality. You can get a rough idea of certain sounds from playing with Different amp settins, and the effects can be cool in limited amounts. Overall though, you'd never do anything beyond practice with this if you knew better. Recording and gigging are not an option with this. If you need to work on solos in your dorm room, this might be a great idea though. Considering this, I was a little more lenient with my grading.

OVERALL OPINION

I've been using it for two years. I didn't have much use for it after I moved out of my freshman dorm, once I had more room to practice and was able to use a bigger, better amp. I don't like the effects, as they tend to sound pretty terrible most of the time and are somewhat hard to use. I tried some other models, some by Marshall and Fender (the model numbers escape me now). Those definitely sounded better but did not have the same effects. This is the issue that is the deal-breaker. I think the price is pretty reasonable for this amp, considering I didn't pay too much for it, but you have to make sure you're actually going to get enough use out of it. Also, be aware that it breaks easily; my roommate didn't admit it, but he broke it accidentally somehow. I had to replace it and i realized later that it probably wasn't even worth. I'd say that unless you really don't have the little bit more cash necessary to buy a better practice amp, stay away.
