Description

The VT40X features a brand new modeling engine and sounds even better than ever! By using VET (Virtual Element Technology), which is based on an analysis of the components and amp circuits themselves, VTX amplifiers produce the most accurate and realistic amplifier sounds to date. These new amplifiers also feature a multi-stage Valvetronix tube preamp. This preamp design incorporates authentic analog circuitry to achieve the subtle tonal adjustments and capture the nuances that are distinctive of vacuum tube amps. In addition to this clever circuitry, VTX amplifiers feature a tightly sealed cabinet and a proprietary bass-reflex designed to deliver stunning resonance. Go beyond the realm of previous modeling amps with the new VOX Tone Room editing software that lets you customize the existing amps and effects yourself, or create your own!

  • Extremely - and surprisingly! - nice...
Style: VT20X
I'll concur with another who mentions this is the most amazing bang for the buck they had spent! I have had for several weeks now and this little amp has caused me to substantially reduce the playing time of my other amps. I have other quality tube and solid state amps. Some are very recent. Yes - I'm a bit of a gear slut. I enjoy playing with new technology and the search for TONE. A lot is made of the holy grail of tube tone. I will admit I still like tubes in their ability to tweek just so - their mostly organic smoothness that can be lost with lesser solid state. Except today solid state is not so much lesser. Perhaps this is not quite tube tone in every sense of the word to a tube snob - but - it - simply - sounds - great. Whatever it is, I really like the sounds coming out of this amp, and that is what floats my boat at high tide. Another nice coming of age with today's solid state is that quite a bit of the presets are very useable. Usually I hate 90+% of the presets of modeling amps and gear, and only the cleaner ones are useable. And usually require some tweeking above that. This comes with an amazing spectrum of presets that sound great and out of the box useable. That includes some that are clearly dirtier, warmer, fuller than the typical cleans that solid state amps tend to be good at. I find that I can just move to a great sounding preset and just - play. It does sound wonderful and I find I forget everything but playing the guitar. To me - that's the ultimate compliment to an amp. I tend to play more cleanly, but love rich dynamics, lush, punch and warmth too. As mentioned I can usually adjust to a preset and be happy. The presets seem to be pretty well thought out and easy to get adjust across a range till you find the one. I've honestly not tweeked as much, nor played with the tone room software. I haven't *had* to. But - I have I've found the tube control really is nice at shaping a tubish tone they represent. A bonus above the other standard EQ, gain, channel and master volume controls. Also you can interplay between the channel and master volume much like a tube amp if desired. I've not played it loud, but the speaker sounds great. I would consider it an amazing value for simply for the features I've mentioned. And it still has quite a bit more. The only ding might be its construction. Pretty obvious it's not built like a tank, but so far so good... Probably could not recommend *anything* else I've played through above this amp for a fun light use workhorse and practice amp. Addendum 8/29/2016: I've got quite a few amps and I tend to cycle through them - each for awhile and with various guitars. What strikes me most about this amp is what you are getting for the money. The presets are wonderful. I tend to prefer clean, but can certainly appreciate warmth, grit and smooth overdriven breakup. The Fender, VOX and Marshall emulations in the above realm are very nice! Some they model I can't verify if they indeed sound like the original - but they simply sound great to me. What I have found - and is true of many SS amps is that you need a strong input signal. So using a clean boost as needed goes a long ways to avoid a lot of the artifacts that you can get otherwise. With a weak input - yes - I sometimes get the snare drum envelope and crappy fade out on sustained notes. Heat up your guitar input and use the volume attenuator - then adjust the input down and volume up till you hear it. Tube amps seem to be more tweakable and tolerant on the guitar input. But this new hybrid matches up well once you get a zone it likes. Then the other perks really leave behind what you will get on the typical tube amp. Again this amp really does sound good with well chosen presets to showcase a fairly good range of different amps. It has it's own effects and uses many of them on it's preset - so likely good quality. I tend to use my modest pedals which work well in front of this amp. I like the presets and find exploring them rich enough that I've not tried to fool with this amp manually. It does seem to have a reach feature set to adjust in sound - again likely good as they have quite a good rand of presets sounds. Done nothing on the software side of this amp - so can't attest to it. It's load and proud perfect for an apartment or small setting. Short of giggable on a scale past that. It is holding up well. I'm not gigging and moving this around. It is light and doesn't look like it will take abuse. All in all though -- *very* well liked and holds its place in my stable of amps... ... show more

  • Stunning! BEST VOX YET :)
Style: VT40X
Greetings fellow Shred Masters :) I've owned several amps during the last few years, a Flextone II, a Line6 Spider IV (returned it), a Line6 MKII SpiderValve (returned it), a VOX AD, a VOX VT120+ and now this amazing VOX VT40X. I love it. The other reviewer made some good remarks about tone and sound that I totally agree with. Most of my amps have had two speaker cabs so I was a bit concerned with just one 10" speaker but the sound is great! AND it is plenty loud and really light compared to a 2x12 and super quiet... My other amps had just a bit of hiss but this thing doesn't even have that. It's astoundingly quiet. The VOX VT40X is pretty good as a stand alone amp but it really doesn't come alive until you access the ToneRoom deep editing software - too much fun, and with KORG being in charge of the sounds you won't be disappointed. So much better than Line6. There are some things missing like the pitch shifter, the brown octave, and rotary but I never really used those things much anyway. The available pedals include distortions, tremilos, comps, drives, phasers, flanger, VOX lead, and a dozen others. One REALLY cool thing VOX did was include compression in some of the metal tones (Cal Metal) and in so doing freed up another pedal for you to use instead of a compressor :) Nice. Not all the heavy tones are compressed though which is nice for sustained notes or when you roll off the volume. UK ROCK with the Gold Distortion Box is KING ~ very Jorn sounding. The cleans are WAY better than anything I ever got on my VT120; bright, shimmery, and with the RC Boost pedal I can control a nice amount of over drive with my volume knob. This amp is by far the most "tubey" modeling amp I've played. So much fun to roll on the guitar volume knob and have the tone move from clean to crunchy with just a slight increase in volume. And church mouse quiet. Another awesome thing about the deep editing software is that you can collect or create up to 33 custom tones (3 files of 11 tones each) and then as you want to, click and drag them to and from the on board bank of 8 that you'll need for your song, gig, or whatever. Saving tones was a bit cumbersome on other VOX amps. Also, like I mentioned before I tried the Spider IV and even put up $900 for an MKII but found too few useable tones. The other thing that drove me nuts with the MKII was that after spending a lot of time setting up tones in the editor, when I unplugged it the tones would be different!! Grrrr :( This is not the case with the VOX. What you set up in the Tone Room is what you get. The amp is beautiful and nicely made. In my other amps I have swapped out tubes for tone improvement or lined the cabinets with fiberglass to tighten up metal or dampen the brights but I have no such need with this amp. It's just great. Like the other reviewer I did my homework but based on passed experience with VOX and gleaming reviews from the likes of Rob "the monkey lord" Chappers, I ordered it straight away and received it by mail through Amazon. I was tempted to shell out another $100 for the 100 Watt model but I'm glad I didn't. This 40 watt lets me turn the power up enough to properly drive the tube without knocking stuff off the walls. I'm not sure it would compete with a loud drummer though. It'll definitely handle a small live venue; coffee shop, fellowship hall, wedding but if you plan on playing a club you'll want the bigger brother. ... show more
