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
VT20 Plus amp perfectly reproduces the operation, subtle nuances, and
tonal character of a real tube-powered amp.
More amp models than ever before
The VT20 Plus Valvetronix boasts an amazing collection of 33
distinct amp models – a new milestone for Valvetronix amplifiers. In
addition, the VT20 Plus 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 Vox modeling amps 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 Plus Valvetronix
makes no compromise 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, 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 Valvetronix Plus
Series. 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 VT20 Plus 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 Plus 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 Plus
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 Plus 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 is connected, 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.
