VOX demos some of the pure amp tones in the new VT Series!

[00agent007jb]

what song is that at 2:42

[StratBanez101]

can u demo the new vox vt+ series?

[bresan79]

I think the cleans sound pretty stellar and realistic. Very usable, but on the distorted stuff, I think it sounds pretty generic, flubby on the low end and for lack of a better term, fake. Especially the higher gain stuff. I'd like to try it out with some distortion pedals into the clean models and see how it fairs otherwise, the distortions are just unusable. Good news is your line out demo sounded pretty much like the mic'd up version so bravo on the line out direct sound.

[ColVane]

This is Dan from ColVane, Vox has become our number one ! Amp of choice ! I uise the VT120 + model and it's fantastic !It has real depth to it's tones, great for our type of music ! Check out our page here on Youtube to see hot the Vox vt120+ works out for music other then metal ! I'll never use anything other than VOX !!

[MitchGNRThiele]

u guys should review the vt+ series

[jemstar619]

Hey Freddy, i have the vox vt 100 but i still have trouble getting a really nice clean sound for funk style playing, this is more or less when im trying to get a clean sound to store in one of the 8 storeable banks? they all seem to have a slight overdrive and dosnt sound totally clean any tips? cheers Nino

[FretLegendSmithy]

not everyone is a metal or country guitarist!

[shadowknight132]

Anyway of getting a good legato(Holdsworth) sound with enough sustain to maintain the notes?

[liamzuid]

Can you guys hook an vt+ in an fx board?

[zayarumster]

are all vt amp sizes still available

[RijadHabibovic]

Hi! I am from Bosnia, I bought your VOX VT 100, and I must say that I am so glad and satisfied, It's loud, the tone is great, but I have a question!? I bought the VFS5 footswitch, and there are 8 stored sounds/programs, whatever.. Is it the same 8 programs, sounds on every VT series, or it isn't, because if it is I would like to know wich amp models did you use on the stored effects/programs. I would like to know wich amp model is on ch. 4 in first bank, the green bank, the tone is amazing! tnx

[HAWK2245]

Does the larger amps have the same capabilities as the VT-20+?

[mgs316]

Good for you. This IS what people want to hear. Just standard effects (reverb, delay) not flange, etc. Gets in the way of the tone.

[MultiScoffer]

Can you please respond to the jack problem addressed by ScruptiousStrat1? I just bought the VT100 today and normally don't buy anything right away after reading comments such as his. The reviews that I have read have been quite good for the VT100 or is this jack problem only related to the VT50?

[stratmanuk]

@MultiScoffer Couldn't agree more, I think my VT50 sounds great but I never know what volume level I'm going to get when I plug in! I blast it with switch cleaner and then have to stand there jamming to plug in and out until it starts to make some noise. This started shortly after purchase.

Thinking of going back to Marshall.

[Muziekschuur01]

I have some nice tube amps here. But this sounds pretty good....

[FE1261]

Could you please upload a vidoe of the VT+ series because im thinking of getting one. Thanks.

[jmsbk12345]

Hi Freddy. Thanks for the demo. I am after a new amp but it must have a warm fat jazz tone built in. I've looked at the Line 6; the Roland Cube and others. Most demos just go for rock and metal tones which is nice but no one plays some jazz. I'm looking for the Wes Montgomery/Pat Martino warm fat sound. You got close to it with the Tweed setting. Does this amp deliver a great jazz tone? I'm playing a Hofner Verythin Contemporary guitar amongst others. Can you give us a quick jazz demo.

[kakashihatake1321]

@jmsbk12345 id get the vox for jazz i had to play some jazz at college and we have several of line 6 spider 30s roland cube 30s and the vox vt 30s and the vox sounded way better than the other 2

[jmsbk12345]

@kakashihatake1321 Thanks for your reply. I am now seriously considering the new Fender G-Dec 3 30. Amazing what this amp can do!

[kakashihatake1321]

@jmsbk12345 ive never played the fender G dec but ive heard good things

[Peruviandude96]

how do you get that boutique metal tone? wut are the settings?

[ScrumptiousStrat]

The Vox VT series represents great bang for bucks but they have two BIG problems:

1) The headphones out comes between the pre and power amps so you don't get any of the tube effect when using h'phones - why on earth was it put there????

2) And why oh why did they decide to "spoil the ship for a ha'porth of tar" by putting what must be the cheapest and nastiest jack sockets in them?? I keep running out of switch cleaner - see the Vox Forums for more on this - it is a very common problem!!!

[gdog99581]

does anyone know how to get good sweet child o mine solo tone a.k.a slashs tone

[supersungjae]

Hey, thx so much for the demos man. Really helps a lot. Could you write the name of the songs that you played in this video?

[116guitarist]

hey VOX i have the vt100 but i play more latin exotic

type music wats an amp

 tone good for that?

[beno20006]

Hey the song that your playing with the calli tone, what is that, it sounds awesome!

[brsurferbrasil]

i cant seem to get as mch gain or as thick of a sound u do in my vt50's gain channel

[Lan2Wave]

sounds great thank you

[cavaliers1]

Is the Vox VT100 sufficient for live use?

[Koopagamelouda]

@cavaliers1

YES but if its a bigger venue you might need an amp stand to get it slightly leaning back so the sound carrys all the way to the back I Would do that with any combos for live use.

(I use my old half stack for live use, if its a bigger venue so that cab is slanted at the top to get to the back)

[axeman70]

I just picked up a VT50 after watching this vid, love the amp my gibson les paul is awsome with this amp, I play everything from BB King to Black label society and this amp will do it all with ease. optional foot switch is a must.

[sandblastedXIII]

a lot of guys have told me that the vox valvetronix is not good at metal...I have already bought the amp...Its the first day, so, I havent played the amp too much yet...I use a carvin dc series guitar...Is it really not good for metal??

[mafiamutt987]

u rock freddy

[bookfilmjazz]

I recently used an AD120VT with a Vox 412 cab at a studio and I am hooked. However, I found that the AD series was discontinued and replaced by the VT (?). I am looking for an amp head but there is not one in the VT line, what gives?

I also have the Tonelab SE pedal which I think is the best multi-effects pedal as it does not 'eat' up the original tone much.

[Hellozan11]

Like something similar to Tommy Thayers tone on Sonic Boom by Kiss. The clean sounds on this amp sounds amazing by the way!!!!!

[Hellozan11]

I'm looking for a warm powerful in you face tone with some rock n roll distortion. Is it possible to get from this amp?

[cacguitarplayer]

man that strat is nasty!! if you ever wanna sell that thing, hit me up!!! please help me choose between the Vox vt100, or the Ibanez tbx150 tone blaster head. both fit what i want to do with my sound, and both are the same price. somebody help me!!

[parabifenylamino]

thank you freddie, I´ve got the VT 50 and i love it!

[Vguitar777]

wich vt would be loud enough for band practice?

[carlosewm]

Try the 30w to see if it's loud enough for you, if not, go for the 50w one.

[guitarbioch69]

@Vguitar777 the 30W cranked was literally ALLLLLMOST loud enough for gigs and practice with an aggressive drummer, but to keep your clean tones clean, I'd go for the 50W to be safe!

[XanderDylan]

Wow sounds amazing! My dad has a Vox amp he got for free that we just use to practice and for being .5W-5W, it sounds way louder than my Marshall MG 30FX haha. Do these get pretty loud then?

[JeffreyCentino97]

Hey is this Vox's latest amp? Or can you name me a Vox amplifier with effects loop?

[Fabian050680]

I've purchased a VT15 and I'm just so happy that I did it.

I can get many sounds out of it :-)

Only problem is that I don't have money to buy a vox switching pedal, so I'm trying to build one myself.

Some of the effects are crappy but most of it does it for me.

[3fast4u]

i love my vt30!

[SabbathPig]

you're better than your brother :DD haha, jk.. great videos, you explained everything i want to know.. than

[cacguitarplayer]

a quick question. while in guitar center, i encountered a situation with the vt100 on the "boutique metal" setting. is it supposed to have an insane volume swell at times? like, it was spotty at some times. was this from worn tubes, or what could it have been?

[cacguitarplayer]

dudes, if only i had $500 to pick up the vt100.. im upgrading size by a lot, and this is the amp i will definitely be buying. i only need a way for a 15 year old guy to make that kinda cash insanely quick?

[rmweav11]

This demarco is more relaxed than the other brother. Thankfully....

both are great players though.

[houseband239]

Great show dude

[LittleBuddah118]

hi there i may sound like a newbie but whats the diference in wattage

[Fabian050680]

@LittleBuddah118

You got 15, 30, 50 and 100.

If you multiply your wattage by 10, your volume doubles.

( 10 log(W))

[cha2x30]

compare to voxac30cc which would you suggest im using it for small gig and venue because the price is not that far.thnx

[Hady1994]

What's the EQ settings, on the Deluxe Tweed model? Tone sounds really sweet! I'm using Humbuckers and it just sounds muddy on that model! Need some tips, wanna have a perfect clean sound :)

[Account091027]

Are there even more DeMarcos endorsing other brands? ;-)

Or maybe there are digitally modelled ones :-))).

[nmc9x23]

It is amazing the quality tones that the VT line produces! While I have a 100 XL, I am not kidding when I say that against my VH100R either XL and all the demos of the new VT line sound as awesome! Plus less coin put out, less back end headache of the tubes (blasphemy I know), and models galore for anything! If pushed, I'd say that the Vox modeling amps are far better than Line6's price point equivalent. While my 100 XL doesn't have the # of models as my HD147, the 100 XL sounds as great!

[ladderqueen27]

Im gonna but the vt 30 next week

does the metal boutique and nu metal sound good with a single coil pickup guitar?

[carlosewm]

Don't know, but since it's high gain and a modeling amp, probably.

You should try the amp first.

[MrNatt]

I really want to get this amp, but the lack of an FX Loop is really drawing me away from it. All I want to do is add a BOSS RC-2 LoopStation to it, but I hear that the lack of an FX loop won't allow me to mix and match sounds (eg. It won't allow me to play electric guitar leads over an acoustic rhythm loop). Any insight into this?

[CharlesMcWin]

@MrNatt If you have the extra money, the VT100 does have an FX loop, not sure why they didn't include one on the VT50

[GirlsGoNaked]

Every single time any of these guitar-geeks demo " metal-sounds " it comes out as shit..

[jAMMAN798]

Wow Freddy your playing is outstanding, you bring "mood" to the sound. Question for you: What type of speaker is used in the VT50 and is it the same speakers that are used in the VT100?

[medgeking]

really cool that you guys posted this video - keep it up!!!

[ErilexTube]

I have this amp and i was wondering, if anyone knew what the US' 90, and Uk 90's amps were modled after? (I'm guessing one of them is a Marshall JVM 900.)

[VOXampsforever]

The US 90s is modeled after a Soldano, and the UK 90s is modeled after a Marshall JCM 900.

[ErilexTube]

Thanks, that really helps me in alot of ways.

[latertodeath]

i usually play at small gigs like fairs, and small venues, which should i buy VT30 or VT50

[VOXampsforever]

The 50VT, as the speaker is a 12", this will be loud enough and there is a speaker out for an addition cab add on.

[sid17391]

wats up, does anyone know what lick is being played in between the demos of the different amp models.. is it a song??

[VOXampsforever]

The licks are original. Sometimes I hint at a popular lick to show the amp can cop that style, but it would be against copy right protection if I played other people's licks on a video for a product..

[MrROTD]

My VT100 rules I recommend it.

[latertodeath]

i want to buy a Vox Vt but i dnt know weather to buy the Vt30 or Vt50

[VOXampsforever]

The VT50 has a 12" speaker and more watts than the VT30. Also you have an option on the VT50 to a speaker. However if you do not need to compete with real heavy hitting drummers, the VT30 is cool for small clubs and home jamming.

[BlackDiamond351]

is it at all possible to make an all-tube version of these amps or would that not work?

[Deluxeta]

They should have put a condenser mic off axis... :\ BUT IT SOUNDS FUCKING GREAT :D!

[ErilexTube]

Is it true that Vox just discontinued this series, and is making a new amp to compete with line 6 amp or something?

[Deluxeta]

@ErilexTube Course not, this amp is from 4 months ago!

[ErilexTube]

Thats good.

[VOXampsforever]

No, we are still building the VT series amps.

[slobergoof]

@VOXampsforever Man you seem to have a lot of fun with these amp. can the 30 give me that same tone?

[kakashihatake1321]

@ErilexTube they dont need to compete with line 6 line6 sound shit compared to the VT line, in my opinion any way 

[ignite105]

@ErilexTube the new amps are the Vox VT X versions

[ignite105]

@ErilexTube the new amps are the Vox VT X versions, what kind of guitar is Freddy playing??

[Manaslash]

hey freddy,are you related to johny demarco in anyway?

[VOXampsforever]

Yes, I am his brother

[martinedverlaque]

@VOXampsforever hey freddy by the way do you use the valvetronix amps series and also i was thinking of getting this with a paul read smith se custom guitar if u thing thats a good way to go if it isnt could u advise me coz i cant spend more than that for a guitar

[whitelotus808]

@VOXampsforever yo freddy, what vox would you recommend for a modern metal/death metal tone? and what cabinet (im looking for a 4x12) would go best with it? Im looking for a mesa dual rec tone. thanks

[mrafllle]

@VOXampsforever coool

[ErilexTube]

I asked him that same question, and he is johnys brother.

[cha2x30]

im planning to buy vt50 but it dont have an effects loop and i have ds1,ch1 zack wylde wah is it to plg it in input thnx a lot....

[VOXampsforever]

You can plug all those effects into the front of the amp. Only the chorus would sound good in a loop, but chorus pedals usually sound good through the front end of the amp as well.

[bobafer]

damn that brian may sound kicks ass

[VlastaStevanovich]

I've bought the VT50. Can you please tell me what actual amp is Boutique metal modeled on? Is it the Engl Invader? You can send it to me as a personal message if you prefer but I would be really grateful if you could tell me :D

[VlastaStevanovich]

How come you didn't show the AC30 model? I'd really like to see that, in fact I am buying this amp because of that model. Which would you recommend VT100 or VT50? I don't need 100 watts, so I am asking if VT50 is in any way inferior in terms of sound quality. And, which one does better AC30 sound? Thank you for the demonstrations. :)

[VOXampsforever]

No reason for not demoing the AC30 model.

The 100 watt VT has a very similar chassis and 2 12" speakers, like a typical AC 30. However both the 50 and 100 reproduce great AC30 models. You will notice a bigger sound emitting from the 100, as it has more power and 2 speakers. The 50VT is very powerful and focused. The AC30 model on the 50 feels very accurate as well. I would base my decision on how much stage volume and headroom you need. If possible you should try both at a music store.

[VlastaStevanovich]

Thanks for the reply, I really appreciate your taking the time to answer my questions. I'll probably listen to your advice and try them first :D

[ErilexTube]

Hi Fredy, why does Johny work for Roland and not Vox? Vox is Awesome

[VOXampsforever]

Good question! ha

[viveck123]

2:35 :O

[katman38]

these videos are excellent for deciding on whether or not to buy this amp! I've decided, but now I am wondering which to get...the 50 or the 100? I don't want to sacrifice low end by getting a single 12", but I also don't know if I need the big power of the 2X12...thoughts? I play new country to new metal live in bars, to festival out door shows.

[mysticalzero]

Ohh Sorry Freddy, but I've made a mistake, I wanna say, about the Vox Tonelab "ST", not the "SE", but again thanks... thanks alot for your time and answer, you are great, and sorry about the problems I've caused you.

[VOXampsforever]

No problem at all. The same goes for the ST. Only the Line/Amp selector will be found on the front of the ST.

Glad to help!

[mysticalzero]

Hi freddy, Im here again, thanks a lot for you answer about the amp and pedals, now I have another question, how does the Vox Tonelab SE would work with the amp?, The Tonelab with her valve could be a great help as a preamp section and sound even better? or nothing different to be happy about? lol that sounds funny...

Well freddy, thanks again for your time.

[VOXampsforever]

You most certainly can use the SE to front end your amp. The Line/Amp feature should be switched to an amp selection.

Try setting the SE to Line. Now plug the SE output into your amps effects "Return" bypassing the amps preamp stage. Be careful and keep the STs "Level" dial on the front of the unit down at first, as this may be full range output going through the amps effects return.

[p3rf3ck]

Freddy Hi again thanks for your explanation. You do not know how much I appreciate that an expert like you advise me about this amp. Now I understand what you mean. Anyway in the video introduction I appreciate that you were using flanger, rotary, and phaser on a single channel. Is it a preset? Again thanks and I hope the new video!

[VOXampsforever]

hey there. In the video, you may be miss understood. I was saying that for this video I will not be using those modulation effects. So there is no preset, or way to use, Phaser, Flanger and Rotary on a single channel. Sorry for the miss understanding.

[p3rf3ck]

Hi freddy, thanks to you I decided on this amp, I am very satisfied and the truth is it's excellent. But I have one concern: how do I make simultaneous effects? Could be explained in a video? From already thank you very much for your work. You rocks!

[VOXampsforever]

I am getting started on another VT video, where I dial in tones and effects. To answer your question, you can dial in reverb seperate from the other effects and you can use the dual effects. Ex. of a dual effect, would be the "Chorus and Delay" program. You can add reverb, giving you a total of 3 effects. You cannot combine more than one effects program, other than reverb, at once. The 100 watt VT has an effects loop so you can add your outbord effects to combine with the intenal effects.

[mysticalzero]

Wow, I really thought that the 12AX7 was in the pre, but I'm really happy to know that is in the power section, that's why souns so good.

Hi Freddy, I have a question... how well does the amp accept pedals like a Vox Satchurator, or any other distortion pedal?

And the same with effect pedals like delay, chorus...

Thanks a lot for your time freddy!

[VOXampsforever]

It depends on the amp model as to how well the amp accepts pedals. Most of the models work great with most pedals. This is a great way to make one amp model have a second vibe and tone that is an addition to the tons of tones already in the amp. Delay pedals can go in the front of the amp, but with the 100 watt VT, try using the effects loop for the delay pedal.

[sebace]

this amp is awesome!

[FairviewBand013]

Hey freddy demarco! Are you realated to johnny demarco? THe guy with boss? Because u look a lot like him

[VOXampsforever]

Yes he is my brother. We have two releases out as the DeMarco Brothers, "Shipwrecked" an instrumental from the 90s, and our current release is "Bloodmoon", which is a rock record with a killer vocalist.

Vox Rocks!

[VOXampsforever]

I will be uploading settings in the Vox Toneroom on our Vox site

[jereibanez]

Hey Freddy,That tones are Awesome!!! I love this amp.I have one of this for play live and is awesome!!!

[sild123]

Thanks. it's very helpful.

[VOXampsforever]

Answering the Tube question

[Balddi7]

I got one, and all I can say is that there are no better amps in price of the Vox VT series.

[TehTiba]

It is really great that you guys really read peoples comments and respond in a good way that ACTUALLY HELPS! No other company would do that! I got a VT50 and I love it! You guys at VOX should be really proud!

Thanks VOX And thanks Freddy !!!

[jereibanez]

One question for VOX Amplificacion:You can send me the presets please??

[VOXampsforever]

There will be settings on the VT amp in the Toneroome on our Vox site by the end of the week.

Freddy

[jereibanez]

Thank you very much Freddy!!!

[sild123]

it will be better if you like to reply people's comment. Peace!

[VOXampsforever]

Please resend your comment, and we'll reply asap. Thanks!

[sild123]

great! now i got a question. which section does vt series uses tube? pre amp or power amp? what is the difference? regards

[VOXampsforever]

The 12AX7 tube is used in the "POWER" section of all Valvetronix products. I know we always see the 12ax7 used as a preamp tube, but our engineers use it in the power section. The tube gives really headroom and response, as the original tube amps do. The Valvetronix tube power section, also reconfigures, to model each individual amps power section, with authenticity.

Freddy

[savagesnephew]

ok, i really didn't like the original demo of this amp (though i know it's an AWESOME amp) but this demo is WAY better! thanks vox

[jereibanez]

I want to no the "settings" on the demo!!!

[xboxman360man]

these are nice how much does one run

[Hady1994]

Very nice :)
