"valtronix 10- review"
Feature:
It didn't include any accessories (other than the manual of course) but the feautures are way way more than enough to make up for it
Quality:
i going to say here that pretty much everything is a ten or nine including quality, i knocked the amp over from 4 feet onto the floor by falling on it and it hurt me more than i damaged it!
Value:
this is a low mark its not that it is not worth its just that a week before i bought it was 50 dollars cheaper
Desirability:
the "sex appeal" of this amp is actually like a 8.5, it looks good to me but some people may not like the intimidating box like structure of it
Sound:
there are so many sounds that are possible from this amp and all of them sound perfect, also the amp does have a tube, so obviously this ads that great tube warmth
Ease of Use:
all you to do is is turn a couple of nobs to get the sound you want
Support:
i never had to contact anyone so i would not know
Overall:
I love this product and would definetly buy it again

"A really really good amp with an awesome sound and more features than you have ever dreamt of."
Feature:
Feature-wise this amp is THE BOMB. If you're looking for a beginner amp, or just a practice amp in general, this beats the others by a mile, in my opinion. The amp comes with: the amp itself, the power cord and a manual with a warranty. Thats pretty much all you need. As you've probably read, there are 11 amp models available at a twist of a knob, so you can get a really wide variety of sounds. There s a gain, volume, treble, middle and bass knob which lets you further customize the sound to your fancy. THEN, there's 11 effects. Here's where it gets kinda weird. When i was reading online about this i thought that there would be 11 SEPARATE effects and maybe you could mix two of them at the same time, but most of the effects are 2 effects combined. Don't let that dissapoint you though, because it has pretty much any effect you want from a model amp and then some. All of the effects are editable through a somewhat tricky combination of 2 buttons and a knob, which is confusing at first, but works well later. Here's a list of all of the effects, since i dont think it says in the description:
Auto-Wah,
Comp,
Comp+Phaser,
Comp+Chorus,
Chorus+Delay,
Chorus+Reverb,
Flanger+reverb,
Tremolo+Reverb,
Rotary+reverb,
Delay,
Reverb.
AD15VT has a preset button which turns on the red LED and the preset setting and a preset effect of the amp chosen, which in my opinion is a pretty useless feature, but still a feature nevertheless. It also has a manual buton that turns on the LED and u can make your own sound . YOu can also store the settings you have in 2 channels and you can easily switch and write on a channel with a push of a button. AD15VT also has an input and output/headphones jack and a power switch (...a feature? hmm idk, maybe we're taking a power switch for granted.) The only thing that i wish was included, but it's sold separate is a pedal for switching channels, but its not a biggie. A button on the panel works fine too.
Quality:
This amp looks pretty sturdy so far and it looks like it can take a beatng. Not a flimsy amp.
Value:
I got this amp for 170 dollars new, but ive seen it go for 200 dollars and 250 dollars on some places and online, but either way it beats the crap out of the amps within the same price range. Definately better than the Spider III.
Desirability:
I'm not really sexually attracted to amps, BUT the shiny chrome VOX on the front and the diamond chrome grill is a definate turn on. The rest of an amp looks like an amp.
Sound:
Im absolutely satisfied with the sound. I mean its really really good. You can't really characterize its sound, because it has different sounds and pretty much all of them sound really good. It has 11 amp types to satisfy almost your every need. It's such a versatile amp that you can get almost any sound you want, so you can play any style you want. The clean on it sounds REALLY REALLY nice and you can customize the sound pretty much any way you want. The distortion is pretty good too. I use this amp in my room for practice and for a 15 watt it can get really loud. Some amp models are louder than others, but either way its almost unnecesarily loud (at least for practice). I probably wouldn't use it for a gig, but who knows it could work for a small gig. If you're looking for something louder definately get the 30, 50 or 100 watt. Also, the little 12AX7 tube makes it sound really nice. Overall, the sound is almost perfect. The only thing that keeps me from giving it a perfect 10 is just how sometimes you switch the amp models and it can be a lot louder than an other (going from black 2X12 to UK modern can startle you sometimes)
Ease of Use:
I give this an 8, only because when i first got the amp, i was a little confused by all of the things on the top panel. You kinda don't know where to start and the combination of "a button, a knob and another button" effect edit is not really that intuitive. The manual is great reading material for when you're sitting on the john. It's a good manual.
Support:
Hasn't broken, so a 10!..?
Overall:
Almost perfection, especially for that price. I don't think i will replace it for a while, because it's amazing. It's almost replaces like half of your friends. If this amp broke and my warranty expired, i would probably get this amp again. I've done some research when i was looking for a practice amp and the top 3 amps i was thinking about were Vox AD15VT, Ronald Cube-15 and Line 6-Spider III-15 watt. AD15VT is definately beats all of them. It's just awesome.
