The latest amp in the Valvetronix evolution with 99 presets, loads of FX, and more.
The convenient and powerful Valvetronix VT20+ combo amp delivers the guitar sounds sought after by discerning
guitarists of every style. With a 12AX7 preamp tube, powerful new amp models, and the unique Power Level control, the VT20
Plus is ready to deliver the response and sound every player needs.
Tube-powered VOX Valve Reactor circuit
Every guitar player seeks the power and playability delivered by a tube amp; the fat drive tone, wide dynamic range, subtle
picking nuances, and quick response. After painstaking analysis of guitarists' tastes and preferences, VOX has focused on
the importance of the power amp circuit in creating the sonic characteristics long sought from tube amps. The VOX Valve Reactor
was developed out of this power amp philosophy. Based on a 12AX7 vacuum tube, the Valve Reactor circuit at the heart of the
Valvetronix VT20+ amp perfectly reproduces the operation, subtle nuances, and tonal character of a real tube-powered amp.
More
amp models than ever before
The new Valvetronix+ Series boasts an amazing collection of 33 distinct amp models - a new milestone for Valvetronix amplifiers.
In addition, the Valvetronix+ represents a giant leap in quality. The preamp EQ features Bass, Middle and Treble controls
for precise tone-shaping. Beginning with classic VOX amps such as the AC30, the diverse amp model selection continues to encompass
coveted amps from the pages of history, as well as the latest high-gain amps, providing a sound selection that spans the ages.
Call up the sound of an old favorite, or experiment with amps you may never have tried - sought-after amps played by your
guitar heroes, rare boutique amps, and vintage amps - and pursue unexplored sonic paths.
25 Diverse, high-quality
effects
One of the best features of the VOX Valvetronix VT20+ modeling amp is the ability to combine the built-in effects with the
onboard amp models to create a complete and powerful sound. Just as with the effects, the VT20+ makes no compromises when
it comes to effects, boasting a level of quality that rivals top standalone units. The broad array of effects is divided into
two sections: Pedal effects such as distortion, wah, and compressor; and Modulation/Delay effects such as chorus, flanger,
and tape echo. In each section, there are 11 effects to choose from. Featuring easy-to-use settings, you can simultaneously
select the effect type and adjust its parameters. In addition, there are three types of Reverb (Room, Spring, and Hall). With
the addition of Noise Reduction, up to four different effects can be used at the same time.
99 Preset programs
The musicians at VOX have put together 99 preset programs for the VT20+, expertly voiced and ready for immediate use. Each
of the 33 amp models provides three presets: Basic, Effected, and Song. An Effected preset calls up the correct combination
of effect type and setting for a particular style.
Song presets are just like Effected presets; each one is a faithful
recreation of the signature sound used by a famous guitarist to perform one of their classic tracks. Of course you're also
free to edit any preset - or start from scratch with the manual setting - and save up to eight of your own custom sounds to
the User presets.
Beyond the numbers
One of the greatest advances from previous Valvetronix models is the astounding sense of power generated by the VT20+. The
power amp section has the potential to significantly exceed the wattage value indicated by the model name - as indicated by
the shaded section of the Power Level knob. The new Valvetronix+ Series also feature a newly re-voiced VOX original design
speaker that is sure to amaze you with a powerful sound that you would not expect from a chassis and speaker of this size.
These fine Valvetronix+ amplifiers genuinely deliver sonic power that cannot be expressed by mere numbers.
Seize
the power
The sense of drive produced in the tube power stage is what defines the inimitably fat and warm tone that's at the core of
a great guitar amp sound. Our tube-driven Valve Reactor circuitry is at the heart of recreating this sound. Volume, Gain,
and Master Volume controls provide key levels of controlling your gain to achieve a wealth of clean, overdriven and distorted
sounds. In addition, these new Valvetronix+ Series amplifiers feature an altogether unique Power Level control. By lowering
the Power Level, it's possible to achieve high levels of gain and distortion at any listening level. And, as was mentioned
above, reserve power can also be dialed in using the Power Level control when you really need your amp to scream. The Power
Level control allows you to take full advantage of the Valvetronix+ Series potential in any situation.
Convenient
and versatile input and output
The headphone out jack can also be used as a direct line output. This output is equipped with the simulated response and character
of a speaker cabinet, so you'll enjoy the natural spatial sense of playing through speakers, even when using headphones or
when connected to a mixer or recording system. Plug your CD or MP3 player into the AUX input jack and enjoy jamming along
with your favorite songs. In addition, the tuning function needed by every guitarist is built in, eliminating the need for
a separate tuner.
Optional VFS5 footswitch operation
Plug in the optional VFS5 footswitch and use your feet to switch programs, turn the reverb and other effects on/off, and control
their speed, providing additional options for sonic creativity and live performance power.
