Voxman's 2nd demo of Vox Valvetronix VT30 - Classic Amp Models (with PRS Custom 24)

Another VT30 demo, this time focussing on 4 classic amp models - I haven't played Beatles for a long time, so I'm a bit rusty on the riffs). Vox AC30TB (Paperback Writer, Get Back, blues improvisation), AC15TB (Day Tripper), Fender Super 4x10 (Oh Carol), and Fender Tweed 2x12 (Rolling Stones - Honkey Tonk Women/Brown Sugar).

Sound & vid quality isn't as good as the first vid I'm afraid - I had to convert to .wmv (which put it out of synch too!) as I don't have an mpeg.2 editor (if anyone knows of any good free mpeg.2 edit software going, please let me know!). Anyway, hope you like the vid.

I'm liking PRS's more and more, and your model is just... wow.

Awesome demo.

@gorillazhead Thanks very much; really glad you liked the vid. Yup, the PRS Cu24 is a very nice guitar that's beautifully put together. New prices are crazy but if you're patient there are some used gems to be found.

This versus a Laney cub 12r 15 watts full valve. Which one is better in you opinion because im thinking of getting either of those 2 I also have an rp 255.

@henzery Sorry, only just saw this (for some reason it showed as spam). I realise this was 11 mths ago but I recently bought a Laney Cub 12R for myself a few mths back (swapped the Rocket 50 for a Vintage 30). Cracking little amp (pop into the Laney forum to discuss in more detail) Very different type of amp to VT30/VT40+ - not so much which is 'better', more what suits you. You can't beat the V'x amps for versatility & bang for buck, but the Cub is a super little straight amp too.

@Voxman5 That's comforting to know, I may just check it out. Thank you.

[Voxman5]

@lockpicker2k The Vox forum isn't like that. It's very friendly & helpful - pop in and have a chat; there's lots of good knowledge there that folk are very happy to share. And it doesn't get out of hand (I'm one of the official moderators there anyway)

[lockpicker2k]

@Vöxman5 What douche response, forums are full of pompous, arrogant know it alls. You can't ask a simple question and get a simple answer on forums. Then theres the forum Nazi's who' are not even moderators but will self appointed themselves as chief forum keeper because they've been a member for 10 years and so believe they have the right to point out every little error or petty broken rule. Please! You have a better chance of getting a short, down to earth direct answer here on Youtube.

@timothyga01 The AD30VT is an old model; only 11 amp models, more basic effect options, & 2 user memories. VT30 replaced the AD30VT - 22 amp models, better effects inc global reverb, 8 patch user memory, & amp models are later technology. VT40+ is replacement for VT30- it's smaller, lighter (new class D power section can be pushed to 60w), has 33 amp models & a new pedal section adding a further 11 effect options, 3 reverb options, plus it has a tuner built in & an aux out for mp3/CD.

I need help guys I'm getting an amp soon I thinkmy budget is about $200 maybe 250 so I wasthinking on getting the Vox Valvetronix VT30 30W or the Vox Valvetronix AD30VT 30w theAD30VT is $10 more but is it worth it? thats if I get to spend 250 if I don't i think I'm getting the VT20+ 20W or the VT15 15W. they are the same price but the vt+ has more watts??!?! so whats the deal with this?

[Voxman5]

@zzseba I've a VT40+ on loan & plan to do a demo over Xmas. Reserving judgement until I can put it through paces (no chance to crank it yet). First impressions are Pro's: great tone, good bottom end, love the new pedal section (adds real versatility), smaller & lighter, better speaker, & I like the black cloth grill. Cons: some high-gain amp models seem 'samey' , some amp models I liked in VT are gone, no line outs, & the tuner is 'twitchy'.

[zzseba]

Honestly, do you recommend the VOX vt30 or VOX Vt40+?? Some comments say thar the old vt30 sounds better and the vt40+ looks "cheaper"...? Í´ll buy this amp next week in Argentina, and your help is welcome, thanks man, your Rock!!
