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) 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. 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. 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. Manufacturer Support: Hasn't broken, so a 10!..? The Wow Factor: 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. 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.

Back to Product Information

Sound: For what this sweet little package delivers is just simply astonishing. The tones from the modeling features are awesome and with the gain knob right next to it, you can really lose yourself in the myriad of sounds you can create, which appears to be endless. Feature: The modeling is tremendous and as one reviewer pointed out, you can spend hours fiddling around with the combinations. That in turns continues to motivate you as a player. Ease of Use: It was a little intimidating with all those knobs and presests, bypass, etc. But it just takes maybe ten or fifteen minutes of your time to briefly read the manual and get acquainted with it. Once you do, it's sick to where you can go next with it. Quality: Having heard stories about how temperamental tube-driven amps can be, I was really hesitant to buy this in the first place believe it or not. But I got over it in about ten minutes because after years of dealing with solid-state electronics, I decided why not. Strong structure. Surprisingly lightweight given its heft. Value: For what I paid for this amp below retail and with all of these amazing features and sound? I can't believe I'm getting it at that price. Unreal... Manufacturer Support: I've not had to deal with support...yet. I hope not. The Wow Factor: It's not a "sexy" box much in the way other amps are either by reputation or by looks. I hazard to say that it's very much a player's amp and to me, that is its sex appeal. Overall: I expect to get another Vox Valvetronix product as my playing progresses. This little bad boy is one amazing product. I'm a hard sell but this one did it.

Back to Product Information

Sound: I was at this local guitar shop and i told the guy i had a roland micro cube and he said that he liked it when he got it but after the vox valvetronix came out, that was it. He plugged me in w/ a cheap ephipone les paul and WOW! the tone was freakin unbelieveable! usually u can hear a litto bit of buzz in every amp but not this one. It was like inventing the wheel all over again. AMA-ZA-ZING Feature: usually the acoustic guitar effect on amps dont give you the same sustain and balance, its just like a guitar w/o effects, but the blues style w/ no effects on the AD15vt was like acoustic rock that didnt sound like some acoustic guitar. it was like the same sound you get out of the middle of those hawk nelson songs. Other than that, there was like about 12 effects and 12 styles w/ an equalizer in the middle so the vox is just IT. get it! Ease of Use: Nothing could be easier. Back in the day, you had to know which combination of knobs and crud to get each effect, it was like tryin 2 learn sum code or sumthing. But all of the effects and set and right there. Its basically plug n play. makes it easy for any1 (w/ some musical talent) to sound like a pro.! Quality: The quallity is worth it more than ever for the money. Vox is over-acheiving. Something must be 2 good 2 be true but it is true so there is nothing that could match up to this for the price. I rather have those old vox tube amps just because theyre the original but its basically the same cept in a smaller package. Value: COmpared to other items, this kicks @$$! Line six also has really good effects but the variety is limited. Manufacturer Support: I dont own it but i play it at this guitar shop evrytime i go to check out new guitars and they deffinitnately got it under control. The Wow Factor: Everything about this amp is appealing. The shape and style is that of the original vox amps. I only wish it had the same brown screen cloth lining as those big double speaker tube amps. Overall: I will be satisfied w/ this for another 10 years probably (unless the price for the old tube amps get into the low $300's) Other than that. this amp works for me.

Sound: The sound is amazing. I love all the different Amp types and Effects you can choose. You can really get any sound you want. Feature: The Amp came with a chord and a manual. I think that the features on this Amp are the best that you can get for this price. Ease of Use: It was pretty easy to use the Amp but it make take you a few days to completely know what every knob does. Quality: I think the quality is very good. Nothing is loose and there are no scratches or anything. Value: You cant really get anything better then this Amp for the price listed. Its just amazing. Manufacturer Support: I didnt need it. The Wow Factor: Well, the chrome on the front looks really cool. Its all very shiney. The box shape is kinda not really appealing. But the sound makes up for it. Overall: I think this amp is the best you can get for the price. This amp has so many good effects and different Amp models in it. You can have hours of fun playing around with all the sound.

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 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 Ease of Use: all you to do is is turn a couple of nobs to get the sound you want 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 Manufacturer Support: i never had to contact anyone so i would not know The Wow Factor: 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 Overall: I love this product and would definetly buy it again

VERIFIED BUYER

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.

Sound: The sound of the different amps gives a lot of range, but I use pretty much the clean boutique setting with a boss gt-6 pedal with the preamps turned off to get various tones. The clean boutigue sound is killer, supposedly modeling a dumble amp, it has a fuller frequency response than the twin or the other clean-capable models. If I want heavy distorion I get it from the pedalwhich has eq and is a lot more versatile. I just leqave the GT-6 pre-amps off. When I play clean, it has just enough bite to make for a great bluesy sound. There is a problem though, one I am surprised others have not mentioned. I am coming from using an ampeg vt40 for most of the last 35 years which I love but is a monster to carry and way too loud. But the tone....I won't review the vt40 here but it is to die for and very responsive to tweaking. Anyway, when I tried to dial in some of the sounds, I found the tone controls are basically near useless, especially the mid. They don't do anything but sort of throw a blanket on the frequencies they cover...no changes in color at all. This is somewhat made up for by the amp selection, which gives lots of colors, and I can color it using the gt-6 eq too but cheez, the tone controls should work better, but some of the sounds I'm after...like the lead guitar sound in Traffic's Dear Mr. Fantasy, a bassy trebly, hollowed out 1khz mid for example, or a zappaesque black napkins sound, with its over the top mids, are pretty elusive. This is a serious but not deal-breaking problem. The amp models sound good to my ears, especially the bassman (which I am not that fond of in real life! and vox sounds in addition to the boutique. The twin sounds a little tinny...not enough frequency response for me, and I don't really mess with the marshall or numetal (Soldano?) emulations much. I regularly use the ad15vt for gigging small clubs and coffeeshops, and miked it works great. Just wish the tone controls did a little more. Feature: When I went amp shopping I had a short list 0of what I wanted. Master vol, bass treble, mid, onboard good sounding reverb, tubes. I thought the fender blues jr was going to be the amp of choice, but when I tried it I found it does one sound and that's it. I didn't see anything else small with tubes and I ignored modeling amps because I already have a modeling pedal. Salesman said, after I had told him what I wanted, to check out the ad15vt, which was on sale for $159. I was skeptical, but when I read about it tthe way they do the tubes sounded like it would work...its not just a tube preamp, it is a two stage tube amp with a speaker driver emulator that is then run through a solid state amp for getting the volume. It does what it says on the tin. THe tube crunch and bite and clarity are there for most of the amps. If you can't tell by now its all about the tone for me. I use the reverb and occasionally the echo as a second delay, but not much else as far as the effects go. I'm not against effects by any means, just the gt-6 does a consistently better job. I use the vox reverb just because it is at the end of the chain. I might turn it off and use the pedal's 'verb...still testing there. Ease of Use: The effects are a nuisance to dial in. The little chart that comes glued to the top of the amp is useful and I keep it taped on the amp at home, but generally I don't use the effects so this is not an issue. THe two preset sounds are nice...would be nice if they included the footswitch in the sale instead making it extra. I mostly dial in a good tube clean sound with a little bit of teeth in it and leave it, shaping tone on the pedal so it is easy for me to use. Quality: so far so good...no complaints. I'm not too hard on equipment any more and it seems sturdy enough for me to carry around to gigs Value: it was a great value at 159 bucks. I bought it up on the spot after hearing it and have no regrets Manufacturer Support: no need for it yet The Wow Factor: It's kind of cool looking with the vox grill cover done up in chrome. I don't care what it looks like if I can make it sound how I want it too, which I mostly can. Overall: I wanted a little amp I could carry to gigs without a crane that gets a good tube sound to replace my ampeg. with the caveats above I'd say it does that well. What I really want is a midget vt40, but alas there is no such animal. I'd probably replace the vox if I needed to with the same thing or the ad30vt, which paradoxically is suppposed to work better that the 15 watter at quiet volumes because you can adjust the wattage of the output. THe ad15vt is loud enough at work and quiet enough at home for my purposes though.

Back to Product Information

Sound: The AD15VT is probably one of the better values out there. It has a number of great sounds, all of which can be modified to your taste with the interactive controls. You can fine tune this baby. The amp models are quite good, and all of them can be changed to fit your tastes. You will have to take some time to create and save your favorite sounds, but it's not difficult, and it's worth it. Very versatile and very toneful. Feature: It would have been nice to have the footswitch included with the package. The construction of the amp is great; it's very solid. The features are amazing. You can get any sound, jazz, rock, space, and even metal. The least useful settings would be the "metal" sounding presets, because I don't play metal, but even those settings sound authentic. Can't find any faults so far! Quality: This thing weighs about 25 lbs., and the construction is solid. The appearance is neat and clean, and so far I have not noticed any weak points. I don't think I would have any problem taking this out in public and using it. Value: Probably one of the best, if not the best, small amplifiers out there today. At the price, it is a stone steal; I almost feel like I should go to confession! Manufacturer Support: I have not had to deal with Vox in any way. I have owned a Vox Pathfinder for about three years and have had no problems at all. I expect the same from this amplifier. The Wow Factor: The amp is not very sexy looking, but the sheer number of tones you can create with this thing is simply amazing. On that basis alone it really is a must-have. Overall: I have had good experiences with Vox. I bought a Pathfinder about three years ago, and the Pathfinder has seen more action than my other amps. It just turned out to be very toneful. That was why I bought the AD15VT. I was anxious to try the new Valvetronix technology anyway. At this point I am quite impressed. The AD15VT will definitely help me get where I want to go.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW

VERIFIED BUYER

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.

Sound: I'm an old tube amp afficiondo (Ampeg vt40) who switched to a Boss GT6 run through my computer. Love the old amp but its too loud & too heavy. Went to look for a simple cheap small giggable tube amp with versatile tone & reverb, intending to use the gt6 & a laptop for effects. I passed right by the Vox, thinking w/ modelling & effects @ $179 it would be cheese. Fender bluesman & ampeg rocket series both sounded like mush. Salesperson said try it. I was immediately hooked, & it cost half the others. Clean boutique w/ gain up rocks. Some of the marshall and metallish settings are mushy, the black 2x10 needs lots of tweaking to sound good. Downside: pre-amp is tube, but later stages aren't, some settings mushy, midrange cntrl unresponsive in all settings. It acts more like a slight mid boost/cut than a tone control. Reverb a bit cheesy. Other than that, it is a monster little amp and way easier on the back! Feature: As stated above, way more than I needed. Nice 1sec+ tap-time delay. Surprisingly loud, I've used it for small gigs. For larger gigs it has a direct out & spkr emulation. Ease of Use: Manual mode is simple. I've no real use for the presets. Effects cram a whole bunch of parameters into two knob and two buttons, which is a little fussy but saves space Quality: we'll see Value: excellent value Manufacturer Support: best kind...no need yet The Wow Factor: Oh yeah, in it looks tres cool...retro-beatlish vox look

Sound: I did lots of research before buying this amp, and just receiving it this morning I can say its the best sounding small combo amp i`ve ever heard, im also using a new guitar with a single coil in the neck and a humbucker in the bridge, I`m very happy with the way the amp and guitar work together as one, the clean tones are unreal, so beautiful sounding, so alive, alot of $$$ amps don`t have a clean channel this good, and all from a vox custom 8" speaker, its just amazing, as for the dirty channel stuff, I`m a happy camper, THIS AMP REALLY IS AWESOME,,,I do remember reading a review where the guitarist said he tryed hooking up a distortion pedal and there was just to much noise,,,I hooked up my Ibanez tube screamer, AND IT WORKS PERFECTLY, no noise what so ever, all you need is an overdrive pedal set low just enough to drive the tube in the amp, after all the amp gives off enough grind, with a simple o.d. pedal you can get total meltdown, Try this amp out when you get a chance, compare it to whatever else is out there, Im telling you, you`ll be bringing the VOX home. Feature: The amp is very well made, it looks fantastic, you can tell the VOX team came up with a great design,,,the chrome grill looks great, and the VOX handle, Very Classy. ***The only feature I wish it had were delay+compression and reverb+compression, other than that this little guy is loaded with features,,,If you can`t find a guitar tone with this amp, pack your bags, sell your guitar and head for the hills, take up fishing. Quality: Coolest 15 watt amp i`ve ever seen, FIT AND FINISH ARE PURFECT, CAN`T ASK FOR MORE. Value: Its a great amp for the money Manufacturer Support: HOPE I NEVER HAVE TO FIND OUT The Wow Factor: SEX APPEAL,,,NOT SURE YET, AFTER ALL I JUST GOT IT TODAY.

Sound: Shockingly clean to numetal dirty, but always clear and defined. There isn't a sound you can't make plugged straight in to this thing (with the right guitar). Surprisingly lound as well Feature: This isn't a gimmick - you really can get accurate recreations of other vox models, both vintage and new.

Overall: I played dozens of preactice amps before I chose this one, and I made the right choice. Play this before you buy any 15 watt amp out there, and you'll probably stop looking.

Manufacturer Support: N/A The Wow Factor: I own and still love it. Overall: The only reason for looking to buy a new amp after owning this is to get a bigger one.

Sound: If you cannot find a good tone from this amp. You just don't know how to play the guitar. Feature: More than enough for the real players. But wish it has a seperate line, and external speaker out like the Pathfinder has. I just don't like shared headphone/line out. And I wish the tube is easier to access. Quality: Very solid. Value: VOX RULES!!! Manufacturer Support: No opinion. Have been using a few Vox amps since the 60's. Other than tubes, or blown speakers. Never have any problem with any Vox amps. Never need to call on Vox. The Wow Factor: I own it. Compared this with several up to $500 amps. My 4th VOX. :)

Sound: LET'S FACE IT.IT'S A PRACTICE AMP.BUT IN THAT REGUARD,IT IS THE BEST PRACTICE AMP AVAILABLE.I WOULD CALL IT AN INSPIRATIONAL LITTLE TONE MONSTER THAT EAT'S UP YOUR 15 W FENDERS,SPIDERS,MARSHALLS AND SO ON.BUT YOU HAVE TO CHECK IT OUT YOUR SELF.IT'S YOUR MONEY.YOUR EARS.I WASN'T EVEN LOOKING FOR A PRACTICE AMP.I JUST WANTED TO CHECK IT OUT.BUT NOW HERE IT IS SITTING IN MY LIVING ROOM.I HAVE VARIOUS AMPS AND DID NOT NEED ANOTHER.AND I AM NOT AN IMPULSE BUYER.PLAYED IT LOVED IT BOUGHT IT. Feature: EFFECTS AND AMP MODELS ARE GREAT.HAVE NOT DELT WITH THE 2 MANUAL PRESETS YET,BUT ONLY BECAUSE I AM WATING FOR OPTIONAL FOOT I HAD TO ORDER.THAT WAS THE ONLY DOWN FALL IS THAT ID DID NOT COME WITH ONE,BUT FOR $36.00 NO PROBLEM.WHAT OTHER 15 W AMP HAS THAT OPTION.NONE I THINK. Quality: I THINK IT WILL HOLD UP FINE.I HAVE READ ABOUT PROBLEMS WITH THE INPUT JACK AND YES IT IS NOT FITTED THE BEST BUT I THINK YOU WOULD REALLY HAVE TO ABUSE IT FOR THE JACK TO FALL OUT. Value: WELL WORTH THE MONEY FOR WHAT IT HAS TO OFFER.TAKE FOR INSTANCE IF YOU PURCHASE A FENDER 15 (WHICH WILL NEVER COMPARE ANYWAY)ADD 1 OR DESCENT EFFECTS PEDALS AND YOUR AT MORE OF A COST AND STILL NO REAL TONE.I KNOW BECAUSE THATS WHERE I STARTED 10 YEARS AGO. Manufacturer Support: NO NEED AS OF YET. The Wow Factor: COOL LOOKS.KIND OF A DARK RETRO.LIKE IT BELONGS IN A BIKER BAR. Overall: IF I HAD TO REPLACE IT I WOULD BUT WITH THE 30 WATTER.ACTUALLY I DIDN'T CHOOSE THIS AMP.IT CHOSE ME.

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW

Sound: This Amp Rocks... I have owned Peavey, Crate and mylast amp was Fender. This amp sounds sooooooo Cool. Feature: The Amp Models are Great, and Most of the effects are very useful, although I would like to see more combinations of effects Quality: The Amp Is Beautiful and rugged... My gripe is the Pots, If I change to an Amp, the Volume seems stuck, and I have to mess around with the Gain, Volume and Master Volume to get it to change. Value: Awesome value, Modeling Tube Amp for 179.00 Can't beat it. Manufacturer Support: Have not delt with them yet

Sound: lots of differnt models....I like the 70s sound. Feature: the on board featuresa were cool....but sometimes the level would cut out while playing. Quality: seemed like a solid build Value: I have had many amps...I bought a fender for my daughter, thinking the vox may be over the top complicated for her....boy was i wrong...i will purchase one of these soon ......so dad can sneek in a jam ! Overall: seems like this amp would be sweet to mic through a PA..and imagine.....no stacks to carry around...remember...its the sound...not the look, and I think this amp produced a quality sound for he price and the features.
