VOX Valve Reactor for true tube power
amp sound and feel.
The AD100VT, AD50VT, AD30VT and AD15VT feature our patented VOX Valve
Reactor found on all Valvetronix products. The Valve Reactor circuit uses a
12AX7 triode vacuum tube together with an actual low-wattage tube power amp
circuit, a virtual output transformer and a dummy speaker circuit that simulates
the impedance changes of a real speaker. It also reconfigures itself so that its
characteristics are the same as the amps it’s modeling (class A, class AB,
negative feedback circuit, etc.). This means that all of the nuances of the
original amp model including sound, feel, distortion and presence are reproduced
accurately.
Eleven realistic amp models using
sophisticated modeling technology
A total of eleven coveted amp types are provided. Starting with the
classic AC30 and ranging from vintage to modern, higain to clean, a variety of
amp models are built-in, giving you an incredible range of sound-creating
potential. Selecting the amp model and adjusting the tone controls is as
intuitive as it gets – just turn the knobs!
Eleven high-quality effects cover the
basics
Nine standard effects indispensable for any guitarist are built-in.
These include auto wah, compressor, phaser, chorus, flanger, tremolo, rotary,
delay and reverb. With the addition of combination-type effects, you have a
total of eleven effects to choose from. Each effect lets you adjust several
parameters. There’s also a Tap button that makes it easy to set the delay time
or modulation speed.
Save your user programs in CH1 or CH2
Channel Select mode lets you save two of your own programs, including
the combination of amp and effect settings. You can access either channel at a
touch, for immediate switching while you play.
Easily select the classic sound for
each amp type.
The new Preset mode gives you a tonal starting point for each amp
model. You can enter Preset mode at the touch of a button, and then simply
choose an amp model to automatically get the preset sound for that amp. Select a
Preset, modify it and save it to CH1 or CH2.
Manual mode lets you hear your exact
sound settings
In Manual mode, the sound you’re hearing will be exactly what the knob
settings indicate – just as on a conventional amp. It’s visually intuitive, so
it’s quick and easy to create just the sound you’re looking for.
Convenient line/headphone jack for home
recording or late-night practicing
You can connect the line/headphone jack to your mixer, multi-track
recorder or headphones. Since the character of the cabinet is also added to this
signal, the sound will have a sense of ’air’ and depth even when you’re
listening through headphones or recording direct. The AD100VT & AD50VT both have
an external speaker output, and effect-loop jacks have been built into the
AD100VT making it convenient to connect with external effect processors.
Adjust the output wattage of the power
amp
The AD100VT, AD50VT & AD30VT let you adjust the output wattage from
1~100W(AD100VT), 1~50W(AD50VT) & 1~30W(AD30VT) so you can lower the volume
without losing the sense of drive that’s unique to tube amps. You can get the
great distinctive tube sound at a volume that’s appropriate for any location.
Footswitchable control
If the optional VFS2 dual foot switch is connected, you can use it to
switch between user programs (CH1, CH2) or to bypass the effect. Alternatively,
you can choose to have the footswitch activate Manual mode instead of Effect
Bypass, which gives you hands-free switching between three different sounds (the
two user programs and the Manual settings) for convenience during a live
performance.
