Of the broad lineup of VOX amps – from large all-tube amps to mini transistor amps – the Valvetronix
Series is acclaimed by the broadest range of musicians and is being used in the widest variety of
musical scenarios today. Delivering the perfect fusion of great tube amp sound and cutting-edge
modeling technology, the original VOX Valve Reactor circuitry made its sensational debut in 2001 as
the guitar amp for the new century. Since then, it has undergone continual renewal in response to the
latest developments in amps, and in order to flexibly meet today's needs. Now in 2010, the
Valvetronix+ series is once again powerfully and dynamically reborn, offering a larger number of
highly evolved amp models than ever before.
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 every
Valvetronix+ Series 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 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
Valvetronix+ Series 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+ 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 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 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.
