Feature:
The effects are OK, they're not as good as a full effects loop. But the amp has a good usable set of features and effects. Again this amp isn't going to sound like a full blown hand wired tube amp, and again for the money it's a good value.

Quality:
I've had this amp for a few years and its been beat around pretty good, and it still looks and plays like new.

Value:
I played some of the other amps in this price range and at the time this amp was the easy choice of the many in it's price range.

Desirability:
I think the chrome speaker cover looks great, offset by the black housing makes the amp look great. This amp fits in well with my gear, in a place between my Marshal and my Roland cube. I would more than likely buy it again for its solid build, looks and features.

Sound:
The amp produces a wide selection of amp models with a fair amount of usable effects. In its price range I couldn't find one any better. Of course if you want a serious gigging amp you're going to need to spend more than $239.00. I use this as a easy to carry practice amp when a few of my friends and I get together. I also have a Micro-Cube, and I use it for sitting in my studio just to play around with. But the Vox has enough volume and basic effects to get you through playing with a small group, or even a small venue.

Ease of Use:
Ease of use is about as easy as it gets. The amp lets you customize effects with a tap button that gives some real dynamics to the effects. Switching from one modeled amp to another could not be any easier.

Overall:
What can you say about an amp that cost just over $200.00, and includes the sound quality usable effects and rock solid build but that it's a keeper.

Location: Kansas City, Missouri; United States

 

 
Feature:
More accurate effects, modelers and programming options than anything within $500 bucks. Notice I said accurate. If it sounds like garbage, but will let me run ten billion horrible digital effects through bad plywood and a cruddy speaker, that doesn't make it accurate.

Quality:
In the price range, It's tied with Marshall's MG series for solidity and craftsmanship. It has a Celestion speaker in it. I hope the gact that the knobs aren't chrome is something you can see past! I owned that Marshall for two years and, when I used the clean channel with a thick Metal Pedal it sounded good. The limited and unprogrammable effects were good, just very limiting. It had nothing on the Vox and that is it's (the Vox) closest competitor.

Value:
It is one of those rare musical products where the old cliche' about "getting exactly what you pay for," is proven to be right, most of the time. I know what those products are. I make a point of looking, at work, every day. And when I find one, I almost always buy it, on the spot.

Desirability:
A 'newer' grill is attention-grabbing, but not tacky like some other competitors amps. It exudes class, character and your acknowledgement that Vox are here to do far more than re-release AC-15 and AC-30 combos that are rooted in the late 1960's.

Sound:
I give it a 10, relative to what it is and the sounds it is capable of expelling. I work at a retail store that allow us to take home gear whenever we want to demo it and be familiar with it. I really just needed a small amp to jam with a buddy I work with, for the evening. I should note that I have been playing for 20 years, I majored in music, I have played many gigs (although I'm less than fond of bar bands or local scenes) and I am studying Modern Music Engineering, currently. I also teach guitar/bass. My playing time (which is all the time) is divided between plugging into my direct unit and through my computer sequencer, then out powered monitors AND running my Strat through my stompboxes and into a very powerful tube combo. I don't ever use the distortion channel on a tube amp. Metalheads do that. I push tubes w/ fuzz, overdrive and straight out distortion. I know tone back to front. This amp is, without a doubt, far superior to anything else besides the 50 watt or 100 watt version of itself. I ran no effects with a Strat, (v.noiseless singlecoils) and was just astonished that I'd been steering folks towards other products. This amp poops on every Line6, all the way up to the $1500 Vetta! The pre-amp 12AX7 tube must be the clincher. I was very impressed w/ the 'tube output' knob on the back that allowed me to turn it to 8&1/2, but keep the actual volume, Master and gain at very reasonable levels. The clean sounds are crystal clear and the effects are stellar, programmable, and storeable in one of two user preset channels. Combined with the manual channel, that allows you three totally independant (including volume)channels! Most folks don't open the 'starter manual' to realize the effects are totally adjustable for speed, intensity and levels; even if the patch contains two effects as several do. The distortion is great on every level, even for the Line 6 kids. The Metal Distortion Rectifier setting is VERY high gain, yet still warm. I liked to go for a Blackface, Put the tube push knob (on the back) at 9 and the Volume at 6 or 7, with gain at 3 and bring the Master up from 0 until it started sounding identical to Tool with the addition of some Flange/Delay, carefully set to sweep. Sorry they don't give you a footswitch. Marshall are the only ones who do (Fender's modeling amps don't and they cost a fortune). So, spend $20 for the switc or get a universal one at a pawn shop; it will work. Go get this now.

Ease of Use:
A 2nd grader could could deal with it. It plays great straight out of the box, but read the instructions (all of about 10 pages w/ pics) and learn to use two or three buttons and a knob to do whatever you want this to do.

Support:
Haven't needed it. It's very easy to use. It really has so few variables I can't imagine ever needing this unless you wanted to call and thank the company.

Overall:
I will use this as my personal practice amp until I fall apart. If it were stolen or even just crapped out, I would replace it in a second. It is very giggable to, for a club or if used as one of two amps, probably fo your clean sound while using the main tube amp for dirty stuff or things requiring the full rig. And miked up, it is a recording guitarist's dream.

Feature:
You can dial up any old sweathart you want. They are all in the box. Even some that aren't so sweet, Just nasty.

Quality:
Like a Volvo. Put together well and roadworthy as hell.

Value:
Compare to its american counterpart. The Bumper(or some other car part sounding name). You get alot more value for your hard earned cash.

Desirability:
Hey it's a foxy voxy

Sound:
Just close your eyes and listen. You can have anything from a Road worthy old baseman to a whole array of Old British stacks.

Support:
Haven't the slightest idea. Never needed it.

Overall:
The only reason I would ever buy another amp would be. To get a bigger one of these. For gigging in bigger places. If I lost this one or if it were swiped. First I would locate the no good @#$%*& that took it and do terrible things to them. Then I would get a new one asap.

Feature:
Too bad it didnt come with a footswitch, but any footswitches on the market with dual action and without LEDs will do. (I asked the Vox about it)... The other feature are superb... way enough for an amp..

Quality:
Vox made it again and again! Built tough and ready to roll!

Value:
Worth it!

Desirability:
Gorgeous!

Sound:
I've own this wonderful amp for about 4 months now. It is one hell of an amp! With its size, nothing can compare to it. The sound is great! I play mostly metal and Vox's amp wasn't not my less at first. All my friends were all saying: VOX and metal???!!!! Not until and select the higain amp model and crank it half way up....their jaws dropped!!! I love it, great amp models..vintage to modern, great effects... better than any built in amps on the market..

Support:
These guys there are very helpful... I posted questions about things and they do reply!!! ahah

Overall:
I've been playing guitars for 7 years and owned lots of amps...if u r looking for an great practice...this one is for u... but if u are heading for heads...go for peaveys (if u want raw metal tones)...

Feature:
This amp totaly defeats the purpose of getting effect petals. It has about 8 or 9 effects and has a couple more different amp sounds. Its amazing and easy to work. It would be smart if you got the foot switch for this amp for easy access to ur favorite effects by the stomp of your foot.

Quality:
Probibly one of the best buys all year. its amazing and i deffinatly recomed it over any other name brand amp out there.

Value:
this amp is well worth your money. you can get a marshal the has no effects or get this amp that is the same price and has pretty much the same sound and effects that are so easy to use. Its your pick.

Desirability:
The picture on this site doesnt show the sexy side of this amp but once you see it in person it looks like one of the nicest amps you'll ever see

Sound:
The sound on this amp is great. I just got it this mornig and i love it. Its not as good as a marshal or and orange but if u tweek the nobs alittle bit it sounds just the same.

Support:
didnt need it

Overall:
in a few words this is one of the greatest amps you will ever play if you buy it.

zZounds has verified that this customer bought this product from us.
Feature:
This amp is loaded. It can make almost any sound you want. The "auto-wah" effect is very cool. The amp models are all very different from one another. It also lets you tap the tempo of the reverb, delay, and phaser, making it a VERY versitile amp.

Quality:
This is one solid amp. It has a closed back, so nothing can get accidentally bumped or broken. The speaker is very well protected. The knobs are strong. Everything on this amp is very well made.

Value:
I got this at a guitar shop for 150 bucks. I looked at countless other amps for WAY more that STILL couldnt do everything this amp could. This isnt some rinky dink amp with a bunch of so-so effects crammed into an underpowered amp. This is the real deal.

Desirability:
I wanted this amp the minute i set eyes on it. The front of the amp is very shiny, and all the knobs are very simple. This is one pretty amp.

Sound:
This Amp is awesome sounding. It can sound great whisper quiet or blaring loud. There are so many effects on this amp. Just buying all the effects on this amp would be more expensive then the amp itself. This amp can compete with amps 3x as expensive.

Support:
Never had a problem with this amp.

Overall:
If this had anymore bang for the buck, it would explode. This is such a versatile amp. From crazy distortion to gloomy effects to super clean solos to whatever you want to do, this amp can do it. I highly reccomend this amp for anyone, beginner to accomplished.

Feature:
More than you need.I own a crybaby for the wah though.

Quality:
Well made, very sturdy.Had a Fender FM65R for 15 minutes before the reverb blew and packed it back in the box and sent it back, I'm glad it did, the Vox is sooooooo much better quality.Had the front grill done, polished metal looks tough.

Value:
The price puts everyone to shame in the market for such good quality.No one can compete, well done to Vox.

Desirability:
Looks great now the grill is polished.

Sound:
Sound is as good as it gets without owning a true valve amp.You can get as much as you want or need sound wise.Great for recording, jammin, small gigs and silent practice.Maxon OD9 pedal helps to make some great tones.

Support:
Never needed them, thats what you pay for.

Overall:
Overall the amp has everything you need and more.I will keep it forever and probably buy a bigger one for larger gigs.Super reliable and and hassle free low maintanance.No expensive tube replacements every 6/12 months.I would buy another if it were stolen with no hesitation.

Feature:

Quality:
Other than putting it in a Anvil case, I feel this product will stand up to a lot of wear and tear.

Value:
Great value for the money.

Desirability:
A very good addition to my gear.

Sound:
For a a small package, this amp has a big sound, and is SOOO versatile. From very clean to the "electric razor" sound, and everything in between. This product can produce them all. I love the fact, that I can use this as a preamp, to get the sound I require, and hook it in series to my Legend 50w with 2-12" Celestion speakers to fill a larger venue.

Ease of Use:
Very clear manual, and most of the controls on the panel are self explanatory. A great practice amp, that delivers that great tube sound, at low volumes or even at rehearsals.

Overall:
5-10 years
