I've been waiting for this product to come out for about three months now (since November 2008). Thank God I did cus this is truly the best all in one amp I've ever owned. Vox put such detail into this amp that it'll take me ahwhile to choose which sounds are best for me cus well, they all sound Soooo...Good! The 12AX7 tube with Vox's next generation in Valvetronix Technology is in a League all in it's own. With all 22 models x 3 + 8 self created savers Nothing comes even close to this modeling amp Period! From Chimey Clean Highs to Bite Crunch all the way and thru all Rock of the ages and into the darkest pits of Metal this amp gives this and more. The Models are so close you'll never find that with just one rig ever! The manual mode takes it further into creative plushness. The eight saver presets are a God send it's literally like having eight customized channels. the effects are amazing and are fully programable as well. The Amp is easy to figure out and the manual is well written and easy to understand. The classic Vox Chicken knobs are smooth and functionable thru-out the full rotation. Then there's that plush Vox reverb goin on thats always been a winner. Oh and yes the famous Vox tremolo is in the effects loop as well.One of the best things is that the amp has a knob on the back that adjust the wattage from 0.02 watts to fifty watts. That means practicing anywhere anytime with your sound un-altered. The optional footswitch (VFS5) puts all the fuctions of the amp on the floor for live, playing. The best thing is the footswitch is affordable not hundreds extra. Now there are 2 reasons why I opted for the VT-50 the 1st reason price . I played both the VT-50 and VT-100 side by side and of course the 100 watt'r has a more present sound with 2x12's vs the 50's 1x12. However They both go Way loud to play in any club situation and further to large venue's as well. The second reason I went with the VT-50 is that I have a Marshall 4x12 cab if need be. So I plugged it into one of the cabs thay had at the Store and Yeah it was just Sick! That means Good. But Stand alone as a Combo it'll do just fine. There are so many possibillites to go with this amp that you'll be able to re-define your sound many times over. I've been searching for a couple of years now for it to come to this. Yes I've tried the Tube amps all of Them that I could. And yes I have one too. But I'll say this. For the money this amp will inspire you too as it does me. I've been playing guitar since I was 10. Now I'm 48 years old and I feel Like I owe it,to some one. That'd be you! man go try this amp and buy it. Cus I run the VT-50 with my other Amp and I've gone something beyond lead guitar into Orchestral.

No feature is left out in detail.You have a Gain Knob,Volume,Treble,Middle,Bass,Reverb,and Master. The 2 banks each with 4 save presets of your own is literally like having and eight channel amp. And the sounds you save come back exactly how you set them volume and effects wise. The effects section is rack like sounding and easy to use. It really doesn't take long to achieve a great effect on this amp.You have tap or hold the button while turning the knob to set your rate and another button for depth.Plus another button to turn on or off the effect.There is also a noise reduction knob for those nasty outlets you come across sometimes to keep the amp nice and quite while everyone else is buzzing.Plus the classic Vox reverb is second to none. You have all the effects you need and yes the great Vox Tremolo is included. In the back you have this knob that controls the amount of wattage you need from 0.02 watts to 50 watts. This feature alone is super cool. And there is a speaker extension for added cabs if desired. All the features of this amp can be controlled via the optional Vox VFS5 footswitch for use in live,practice and recording purposes. Plus the footswitch is rugged and afforable. This thing is built rugged as a tank I haven't had any trouble with it thus far. It came ground from Jersey and I live in California so yeah tuff stuff!

Quality:
The Amp looks great and the metal grill is thick an classy looking too. I think with a cover it'll be fine for local venues. Of course and anvil case with castors is best for any amp. The Amps Built Solid.

Value:
For the Money I can Honestly say I am going to buy another one. Because it's worth every penny and that's a 10!

Desirability:
It's perfect and sexy in everyway

Sound:
All 22 Modeled Amp sounds in the Vt-50 Sound excellent and are all very usable either for Live,Recording,and practicing. The sounds express the nuances intended and it does feel and sound as close to a all tube amp as you can get. It's By far more superior than any other modeling combo amp out there period! The manual modes let's me achieve a sound that I choose to have a not only what other amps would allow you to have. I get such a variety of sound it's going to take ahwhile to choose what to put in my 8 save presets. From Clear Chimey sounds to Rock, Blues, Hardrock, Metal, Jazz anyhting is possible with this Amp. It sounds incredible as is. This combo amp is the best sounding all around modeling amp available in my opinion period! I have a Fender Hot Rod Deluxe as well and I'm running these both stereo and oh man YEAH! From Clear to Rock to the GATES of Metal super sound! for the Money. I hooked it up to my 4x12 Cele Cab and the sound is achieved is Quinsentual.

Ease of Use:
The amp is very easy to get your sound the hardest part is choosing one! The instructions are laid out step by step and categorized in a way to easily navigate any section of the amp you need to know about. I love the way Vox clues you to the Amp modeled using key para-phrases like "This Amp Sound is Modeled after a famous Guitarist of whom Slashes rhythms and has a liking for tall silk hats" pretty tricky.

Support:
Haven't had to yet. They always answered my e-mails quickly though when I was inquiring about the amp.

Overall:
This amp will take were I want to go. I will use it cuopled with an All tube amp as well. Don G. Ayala Lead Guitarist:Blues,Rock,Hard Rock,Metal
