Vox Valvetronix VT50 50-Watt 1x12 Modeling Guitar Combo

Serial Number:

CONITION: Very Clean, Tested and Serviced. IT is a great Amp in very Nice Condition.

Sophisticated modeling technology combined with the VOX Valve Reactor power amp circuit that uses a 12AX7 vacuum tube results in sound quality that overwhelms the competition. Announcing the VT series --- the latest combo amps in the Valvetronix series, featuring simulation sounds of famous guitarists.

Features
VOX Valve Reactor circuit that uses a 12AX7 to produce real tube power amp sound.

Twenty-two realistic amp models are built-in, ranging from the latest high-gain types to unobtainable legendary boutique amps and vintage amps.

Twelve high-quality effects including independent reverb, rivaling the quality of dedicated units

Three banks (basic, effected, and song) are provided for each amp model, giving you a total of sixty-six preset programs.

Twenty-two programs of "song presets" simulate the sounds of famous guitarists.

You can save eight of your own edited programs.

Power level control allows you to adjust the output wattage of the power amp, meaning that you can obtain that distinctive power amp distortion even at low output levels.

Headphone output lets you practice at home, even at night.

The VT50/100 provide an external speaker output, and the VT100 provides an effect loop for expandability.

Sound
Having been a guitarist for over 45 years, and making music part of my Physics classes for over 30 years, I have played through a lot of amps, tube and solid state. I've used Fender, Epiphone, Gibson, Marshall, Acoustic, Gallien-Kreuger, Carvin, Ampeg, Peavey, Crate, and Roland to name a few. I also have played almost every kind of gig from rockabilly to heavy metal, to opera, to dixieland. I can say that I really put my equipment through their sonic paces. I own the older AD50VT with the 11 models, which I bought from the sale of my three channel, 60/120 watt home built head with a Yamaha 4x12 cab I used from 1973 until 2006. I found the sound of the AD50VT to be extraordinary. It functions very much like a tube amp and seems to move air in a similar way my stack did. The tones are extremely versatile. The sound seems to spring off the fingerboard such that it actually seems to assist my speed and creativity. As the amp acts very much like a full blown tube amp, it even has the typical tube hiss at high volumes. The noise reduction is useful in controlling it well, without loss of playability and tone. Even the closed back cabinet makes an acceptable stab at duplicating the variety of enclosures associated with the varioius amp models; it's best served in the manual mode for this. The sound of this amp is more tubelike tha many I've used. The 4x10 Tweed actually sounds alot like the Guitar channel of the 1963 Blonde Bassman I got rid of because I kept blowing it up. The Vox seems to be cruising and just getting started at that point. I am EXTREMELY IMPRESSED. I have to say that it is one of the best sounding amps I've used, bar none. I've put it thorugh paces with my Les Paul Custom, my ES-125 full bodied archtop, and my homebuilt strat-style. All of them responded well, although the ES-125 tended to feedback on the "Marshall" type settings a bit much, but that is the nature of that instrument. Actually, so far, it has been the best amp I've ever tried with my brass Dobro 33 with a Barcus-Berry - a very difficult guitar to amplify well.
