Vox Quality Sound for those on a Budget
Style: VT40X
Does the Model for the AC30 sound exactly like an AC30? No. But then again, you didn't PAY for an AC30. This amp is about 1/3 the cost, but gives you MORE than 1/3 the sound of the AC30. Same with all the other models. I tell people this, unless you HAVE to have that exact tone, most Modeling amps will get you where you need to be. I have a Fender GTX100 (used to have the LT-25) and BOTH are great amps. No issues, but I also really love this Amp. In fact, I doubt my GTX100 will see much action now that I have this (unless I just really need a specific Fender tone and 100W of power output)... But if you want some great tones for small club size or home / studio use? You could do a lot worse with $350.... Build was as expected at this price point. It doesn't blow you away, but it absolutely doesn't seem "cheap". 40Watts to that 10" driver sounds really "whole" and the sealed cabinet really helps reinforce the low end that would likely lack in a 10" driver (over a 12" or 15"). So plenty of power for most situations. The effects aren't as nice or varied as the Fender GTX series, but it's also noticeably cheaper (so you get what you pay for effects wise) and still has most things you'll need (just not as many OF them)... The only real snag is the operation. Yes, if you're used to traditional amp knob controls, this isn't so bad. But if you really want to tune the modeling aspects, I'd suggest using the Tone Software to do it, and the panel interface is a little harder to use than say the Fender Mustang series... Overall, here is my breakdown: Fender LT-25 - Great for early beginners and people who want to try modeling amps or new players who want to explore tone without investing too much. Fender GTX100 - Full on Modeling goodness. Great Solid State Tones and TONS of amp sims. Nice Speaker, Nice output. Great unit, though it may be "too much" for some home or hobby players (so it may not feel worth the investment). This VT40X - Great midpoint between the LT-25 and the GTX100 (but the with addition of a valve preamp and some really nice VOX tones). Priced inbetween the two fenders. More features than the LT-25, less features than the GTX100. A good purchase. ... 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

Everything i've been needing in an amp.
Style: VT40X
I've had a Vox VT80+ for a few years now, and while it's a great amp, two things about it have always bothered me: 1) Unlike my Fender Mustang amp, there's no USB connection for customization on the "VT Plus" series amps. 2) The effects controls on the VT Plus are a single knob for "Depth", and a 'tap' switch for "Rate", which i've always found awkward to get the effect(s) set properly. So when i found out that Vox had come out with a Valvetronix amp that is customizable in the same way that the Fender Mustangs are, i was highly intrigued. I took a little time to make up my mind on this. For instance, a few people had sung the praises of Blackstar's ID Series. Already being a Vox amp owner, and pleased with the Vox amp that i owned, i was pleased to find out that the VT40X outshone all the others that also had online demos posted in terms of not only tonal characteristics but also versatility. My plan in the beginning was to go to a "bricks-and-mortar" with my guitar, compare different amps in-person, but found the online demos ( for all of the "comparable" gear, and the demos for the Vox ) quite sufficient. So i just went ahead and placed the order with Amazon / Chicago Music Exchange. Now, about the amp ..... bear in mind i've only had it a few days, and haven't explored it in detail as i've done with the VT80+ i've had for a few years: 1) The "dynamic response" of the VT40X is significantly better than the VT80's. IMO, having moved the 12AX7 from between the preamp and the power amp, as a "voicing" tube ( the "Valve Reactor" design of the VT Plus Series ), to having that 12AX7 being contained within, and an integral component of, the preamp ( VTX Series ) has greatly improved the tonal characteristics and tube dynamics. 2) Without even getting into the finer control available through the Tone Room software, the effects are much easier to work with, being as there are separate rotational knobs for "Depth" and "Rate". Also, the tonal characteristics of the modulation effects seem better than those on the VT Plus. HOWEVER one caveat : Even with the Tone Room customizing program, there are ( from what i've seen so far ) fewer onboard effects choices than there are with the VT Plus series. For a couple of examples, there are, on the VT Plus, a G4 Rotary and a Pitch Shifter, which are not onboard the VTX and i haven't found them in the Tone Room program, either. These are just my initial impressions, after only a few days' use. I'll update/add to this in future, as i explore it more, and also to add info derived from answers to questions i'm capable/qualified in answering. ( Note: You'll need to get a USB 2.0 A Male to Mini-B 5pin Male cable in order to be able to use the Tone Room software with this amp. There are no "accessory" cables included with the amp, only the AC Power Supply unit / cable ) ... show more

Pristine VOX shimmer and amazing versatility in a lightweight box.
Style: VT40X
Great rehearsal, small stage amp but lacks ability to hook up a speaker cab or direct out to the sound board. I use the AD 120 Super Beatle for live shows but those are getting old and so am I. This 40 watt model is light weigh and has wonderful tones. The clean sound is sparkly and amazing. There’s no Fuzz but you can dial one in and save it. You can save 8 patches and control them with an optional controller but you can do it from the amp as well. The 10 inch speaker is beautiful voiced but I’m thinking I need to move up to the 100 watt 12” model for a tad more volume and depth when playing live. I was a Fender guy for many years but now I’m sold on VOX for the amazing tone and versatility their Amps provide. They have their own unique tone signature plus the ability to model others as well. This 40 watt model is so amazing some of the guys in my band prefer the tone over the Super Beatle. At these prices you can afford a VOX for every situation. ... show more

Great Amp with a potential Achillees Heal - the Tube
Style: VT40X
I have a 100W Marshall JVM 210H W/ Cabinet and a 40W Roland Cube 40GX, and this amp was going to replace in my Roland. The appeal of the VOX is great modeled amps with plenty of options to fine tune those amps and pedal effects into multiple user defined banks. An app (Android/IOS/Windows/Mac) to further aid in customization. After a run through on the modeled amps, I jumped into using the Android App (There is an IOS app tool and Windows and Mac app as well). I would say the app actually broadens the scope of the physical amps console controls. There are plenty of customization options which can be saved to User Preset Channels. This is the primary reason I bought this to replace my Cube. Its ability to save more customized channels - much easier. Possible, Bad Tube Problem Simply put, there is almost no sustain. I would hold a note with multiple bends with gain, and it would fade very fast. One note hammer on leads would fade whichever Amp model I used. I raised the Volume and Power Level - increased the gain; still the same. I looked into the Global Noise Reduction setting - No luck maintaining sustain. Reading the very few incidents online the effect is attributed to a bad tube in the VT20X and VT40X models. Needless to say, I didn't want to have to replace a tube on a new amp to see if that was the problem with mine. Pros Great selection of Modeled Amps Great price to performance Built in adjustable Noise Reduction - great on Single Coil pickups Very good App/Application - Not limited to tablets - Can be used on PC or Mac as well Solid Pedal Effects with good control parameters Supports optional Foot Switch - Which I purchased Cons Bad Tube Lottery - With all the positives, a key feature shouldn't be a problem. This is easily a 5 Star Amp if the tube was not an issue. I'm probably being a bit too generous giving this 3 Stars given that one of the Selling Points is that it is a Tube Amp. I'll just say its reflective of the overall positive features. ... show more

40w and The 20w - can’t beat them for the money !
Style: VT40X
Review Image by USAForensic, llc.
I bought both the 20 and the 40. The 20 is great for at home and the 40 is fine for jamming with friends as both are surprisingly loud. I have two 100-watt Marshall stacks running in stereo that are way to loud and heavy for just messing around....and they don’t sound right at wife friendly levels ;)) The thing that drew me to this was a bias switchable tube pre amp ax12. It’s fun and does roll off a bit of the digital sound. However the modeling is so good it’s just a bonus at this point. The FX are fine. Prevents from having to drag along a pedal board for just jamming. The noise gate is an excellent addition! Software helps level out the gain change between presets. The only con for me, and this is really not possible to do at this price point, is that I’m used to running in stereo. There is Also no additional speaker out. So I’m using a Small switcher pedal to switch utilize the 40Vox and a Orange 35rt amp if I want to run a Waza Dimension C or other stereo FX. Both the Vox40 & Orange 35rt amps are very light and have a bit of a different sound so it’s easy transport them both in the back seat or a padded trunk :). The only downside is the speaker 🔊 is a bit flubby dealing with bottom end. Throw too much at it and it muddies up quickly. However at this price... that’s just a nit pick . ... show more

Best amp I've ever owned
Style: VT40X
I've owned about a dozen amps before including one of the old Vox VT amps with a 12" speaker. I think this amp is almost the same but much more refined and it sounds amazing. You really have to try it out for yourself at a music store for yourself, but I really love this amp. It has many different usable tones and amp models and effects. I play it at low volume and hope to play out with it today, but I may skip and bring my bigger amp because I don't think this 10" will keep up with a loud drummer. This has serious balls, but most amps with 10" speakers can only go so loud. I've owned the following amps: Peavey Raptor 15w - it had good effects and several usable tones that sound like they are weaker versions of this VT40X Epiphone 5w Class A Valve Junior - the VT40 can come close but only so close to a true class A amp. The VT does a great job at emulating these amps though Line 6 spider III - the line 6 is a joke compared to this amp, no line 6 I've ever played, in exception to the Spider Valve all tube amps, can come close to a Vox VT. Roland Cube - Cubes have a great clean sound, which this amp doesn't have much (built in anyway, before the App) in the way of clean tones, but clean tones are there and sound very good on this amp. Orange Tiny Terror - this amp has serious bite and crunch and clarity that the VT can passibly replicate at much much lower volumes which I really appreciate. Nothing can replace a cranked up tube amp in the modeling world, but the VT sounds pissed off and hot and really great with a fresh set of strings. All in all, this is by far my favorite amp, and always was since the older VT+ amps for their tube preamp and clear treble, and all around shapable tone. ... show more

The intersection of great tone and versatility
Style: VT40X
Love this amp, huge improvement over the last few Vox Vt amps I've owned. I've been into the versatility of this line of amps, but some of these modeling amps just get a wide range of mediocre tones. This amp sits at the intersection of versatility and tone, and the price is unbeatable. You can really hear the warmth from the tubes, and with a footswitch you can capture a wide range of awesome tones without having to buy any expensive pedals. The effects could be better, but they're not bad at all (each is definitely comparable to any ~$100 pedal). The amp is well made and looks great. I've gone through many amplifiers, and had been shopping for a while - I'm very happy with the purchase and don't foresee changing my setup anytime soon. ... show more
