Vox - Valvetronix VT20X - 20W Modeling Guitar Amplifier - Black

Ordered this as my amp recently died on me (R.I.P).It's an excellent little amp. Lightweight and easy to carry with one hand.The tone from this little beast is awesome, comes with lots of presets and can be connected to your phone to edit. Only downside is the USB cable needed to connect doesn't come with the amp so will have to update review after I've ordered one.Very loud and powerful for a 20wattDoes everything you'd ever need really.

Superb!This was bought for a Christmas present for my son whos playing has elevated over the last year or so, this is ideal , a few steps up in quality from his last Amp.All I'll say is, what a difference a quality Amp can make.

There are three models of the amp: 20watt, 40watt and 100watt versions, appearing to differ in volume only. I purchased the 20watt version. It is nicely made and, physically an ideal size for practising in the bedroom. The 40watt would be suitable for use in a large room and the the 100watt for gigs. it has a headphone socket to avoid annoying the neighbours. It has a valve instead of just solid state and this adds to a warm tone. it is a 'modelling amp', ie it has a lot of programmed different sounds, including those produced by particular full-sized amps, eg 'Vox AC30', as well as various 'stomp' pedals such as flanger, chorus, phaser and overdrive - this means that a new guitarist can get used to the sounds these pedals normally produce without spending upwards of a £100.00 on each. My one criticism is that the handbook is and poor assumes that the guitar is a teenage whiz-kid who know all about connecting mobile 'phones and laptops; in this respect it is no different from any other electronic gadget, but I have been playing since the 1960s and I am going to need help to get the best out of this amp. It has the ability to connect to a laptop via a USB socket but no cable is provided. When connected to the Internet via a laptop the manufacturer has made a wider range of sounds available. I have marked it down to '4' from '5' due to my comment on the instruction booklet.If you want a first amp for you teenage son or daughter or a practice amp for you ageing rockstar. Look no further.

This amp as a great sound, the effects can be a bit tricky to select (check out youtube), but once you have the knack this amp will not disappoint. It as some great sound effects and it feels well made, the knobs feel quality to the touch and the sound out of it sounds bigger the the unit states. my only gripe is the on off button sticks in sometimes.

One word,……..Brilliant!!

Excellent

Great item, does what it was intended for.

The presets are poor…the speaker had a bad ‘rumble’ on anything but the clean channel…however I may have had a defective unit…other user reviews are way different from mine….returned to Amazon and received instant no quibble refund…that’s why I shop at Amazon 👍 shame I reallly like the Vox sound

Meine Meinung über Amp aufgrund sehr vielen verschiedenen Bewertungen die man im Internet, gerade in Foren zu lesen bekommt.Es gibt viele die sagen das dieser Verstärker für Anfänger geeignet ist. Mit diese Aussage bin ich nicht so einverstanden. Es gibt einfach viel zu viele Einstellungen und Möglichkeiten das Sound zu ändern. Für einen der sich nicht auskennt kann das verwirrend sein. Gerade Anfänger sollen üben und Gitarre spielen und keine Zeit mit Amp Einstellungen, die wirklich unendlich viele sind, zu verschwenden. Hier ist weniger mehr.Ich selber spiele schon seit 40 Jahren E-Gitarre. Habe mich schon ein paar mal erwischt beim spielen mit Amp und ToneRoom App. Das üben bleibt da gerne auf die Strecke.Natürlich möchte man so klingen wie seine Vorbilder, dafür gibt es viele Verstärker die viel leichter und einfacher einzustellen sind. Am besten in Laden gehen und sich beraten lassen.Das Amp selber ist ein Hammer. Er bietet alls was man braucht um im Wohnzimmer oder Keller zu spielen ohne das die Nachbarn ausflippen. Das Poverlevel Regler macht das möglich. Beeindruckend ist das sich nur die Lautstärke ändert ohne den Sound zu beeinflussen.Dank die Röhre im Vorverstärker, reagiert Amp auf die einschlagstärke erstaunlich gut. So habe ich das bei vielen anderen Transistor Verstärker noch nicht erlebt.Mit ToneRoom Software gibt es viele Bekanten Amps, modern wie Historisch. Die klingen auch sehr gut und nah an die Vorbilder. Hätte ich mir so ein Ding vor 30 Jahren gewünscht. Damals ging ja nur laut.Clean, Crunch oder zerre, mit richtigen gitarre, klingen fantastisch. Selber spiele ich am liebsten meine geliebte alte Strat. Clean oder mit Crunch ein Ohrenschmaus.Eine Paula mach ordentlich Druck und reicht bis hin zu higain Sounds perfekt. Wie gesagt auch leise.Also liebe Gitarreros, für alle die wissen wie man ein Amp mit Pedallen und Effekten einstellt und bestückt, gibt es von mir eine absolute Kaufempfehlung.

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...

Actualización, el viernes 8 de noviembre de 2019 use el amplificador por la noche como lo hago regularmente todas las noches, pero al siguiente día sábado el aparato ya no encendió, cambie de toma de corriente en diferentes partes de mi casa y nada, el amplificador quedo muerto totalmente, para mi desgracia pasó el tiempo para devolverlo a Amazon, yo vivo en Mexico y el amplificador viene importado de USA, Amazon me ayudo a buscar un numero de teléfono del fabricante y ninguno de los números responden, resumiendo piensen bien si compran este aparato y no viven en USA, porque para hacer válida la garantía antes de un año como lo describía el vendedor, va a ser difícil.. RECOMIENDO NO COMPRARLO, cómprenlo solo en una tienda donde te hagan válida la garantía por lo menos un año. Amazon solo me apoyo buscando números telefónicos para contactar al fabricante.Hice el pedido un sábado por la noche me llegó el siguiente miércoles por la mañana, eso me gustó mucho la rapidez del envio y eso que venía importado de USA, el paquete sin problemas bien cuidado, el amplificador bien envuelto con sus cables y manuales todo muy bien por ese lado.En cuanto a calidad de sonido muy bueno los limpios , los crunch, las distorsiones, los diferentes amplificadores que maneja, el hecho de tener un bulbo de preamplificacion ayuda mucho.Me hubiera gustado mucho que hubiera venido con el pedal footswich el cual compré a parte.

For beginners, I think this product has too many controls and it might confuse them.But it is a dream come true for advanced players who know how to adjust the guitar tone/pick up/volume knobs along with amp settings to find the “sweet spots”. It is excellent for room or home-studio use.Warning: experiencing it might prove to be a gateway to the amazing world of premium amplifiers (and the costs it entails!)
