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

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.

Absolutely the best. dollar for dollar. impossible to beat.

Desirability:
I love it to death

Sound:
The sound blew me away. The last time I played an amp that sounded this good was when I rented the 40 w Marshall tube combo (worth $1200.00 plus tax). The marshall didn't even have reverb in both channels.

Ease of Use:
I'm not overly fond of computerised things and it's taking me a while to get comfortable switching around but I have too - this thing rocks. Sometimes I just go manual and get a good sound without using the presets.

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.

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

Desirability:
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.

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.

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.

Support:
no need for it yet

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.

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!

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.

Desirability:
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.

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

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.!

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.

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.

Value:
excellent value

Desirability:
Oh yeah, in it looks tres cool...retro-beatlish vox look

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!

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

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.

COOL LOOKS.KIND OF A DARK RETRO.LIKE IT BELONGS IN A BIKER BAR.

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.
