Honestly these videos that are years old are still some of the best on TH-cam. Definitely keeps Sweetwater's reputation up to the online market. You can't get this level of demo in any guitar store.
I've been playing acoustic and classical for about a year but was turned off by the overwhelming options of the amp/effects world of electric guitar. When I learned about modelling amps I ran out to the store immediately and bought a VT20X. For a beginner, this is the ultimate tool as you can experiment with so many sounds and practice so many different styles with just one guitar. Given the cost and effort involved in setting up dedicated configurations, I've probably saved myself a lot of time in development and I certainly saved a lot of money. Most importantly, I am having a LOT of fun.
i did play also with a classical guitar. for several years but love songs. now classic. then i learned about the blues scale and learned a bit how to use it to play solo guitar. then it was time to buy an electric guitar and an amp. i wanted to play it with electric guitar and pedals. because solo parts are also very nice with a good classical guitar but. its not the same as with an electric guitar. . made the same way.
Lol…I think most people go after the sound they like, they don’t have to have to whole god damn world… mostly.. a beginner should just get an amp that specializes in what they like. A modeler is fine. You don’t need to worry about shit you don’t even consider.
Yeah, you can. This is basically a third iteration of the Valvetronix combo amps. The second version was a "VTX" with metal emphasis. This one combines the original themes with the metal themes. It's more versatile. The only thing I like better about the second generation VTX series is the speakers. But are even better for the price.
Mitch, great job of giving a solid, understandable overview of an amp with so many tonal bells and whistles. You hit enough high spots to make this amp very tempting.
The way I look at it, you can't own every amp you dream of, but you can have one that gives you a taste of all of them. And even if they are not exact. They are based on them, close enough for fun and interesting sound.
I’ve had this amp for a while and it is amazing; however, I’ve learned more from your video then I ever knew about this amp. Good video. I have a Marshall jvm410 and a line 6 pod hd 500x, and this little practice amp will give it a run for its money
Thank you I commented on that exactly they should be doing demos with a expensive guitar and mid-range guitar and an entry-level guitar so that people of all instrument qualities have an honest opinion of the amp.. I agree with you well stated
There is not much tonal difference between $3000 Gibson and $600 Epi with Gibson pickups. Not sure about PRS, but I guess any PRS SE model with decent pickups will sound great too. Most of price difference is in luxury features and to some extent in setup and feel.
Amp effects more of the tone than that disgusting PRS junk. Sounds about as lively as a corpse. As for Epi sounding like Gibson...lol no. We held a blind test in Guildford (Thanks Lee) and even members of the public who hadn't even heard the two before could pick out the LP over the T+ Epi with American Electronics. Nice try playing apologist for cheapskates who want to believe that price buys you nothing. But as someone who spends about 8 months a year building them..yeah. Stfu. You are clueless.
Great review. Yours and Tony Lee Glenn's reviews made my purchase one of these (I got the VT40X) and I am in love with it! I've come from Guitar Rig 5 and, although the Vox doesn't have as many effects or amps, it sounds WAY better!
I'll never understand why people demonstrate amplifiers using $5,000 guitars this is an entry-level amp people they should demo this using an entry-level guitar so that . Those guitarists who are trying to buy and decent app can hear what it sounds like with. Something similar to the guitar they have just saying it should be considered
I honestly don't think it will make a ton of difference in sound between a mid-tier guitar and a $5000 guitar, just in terms of the sound. There are some REALLY cheap guitars that will sound different, but a typical epiphone will have fairly similar alnico pickups to this PRS. That money impacts many different things beyond just the sound.
But the question is: why not? If you own a 5000$ guitar you don't have to buy also an 5000$ amp? Vox does great products and for training at home and also for small events this thing does its job very well.
@@Faikzit Because it is an entry level amp, and the public interested in it will probably play with an entry or medium level guitar. The quality of the guitar affects the quality of the sound, as everybody knows. So I think it is more relevant testing an amp with an instrument used by its target audience. It is just logic...
totally agree. I bought this as a practice amp and have a high end guitar so of course it sounds bad ass . Didn't want to spend a fortune on something I will just practice with and teach my students with when we are doing electric lessons. I think the type of amp a beginner purchases depends on the combination of what type of guitar they have FOR SURE. I think he should have tested out different style guitars from entry - mid level to show how accommodating this amp truly is.
This one is a HUGE sounding little monster, and with the Tone Room app editing, the possibilities are endless. The valve is definitely a big difference to challenge other amps in the same power range. Bang for the buck? Don't think twice.
I just purchased this amp - never heard of it just walked into a guitar center and played it - I play a ESP EC 1000 Deluxe and A Gibson Les Paul Studio and an EVH Wolfgang and they all sound amazing on this amp - best less than $200 amp I have ever played
Thank you for posting. This amp is definitely inexpensive and has a variety of sounds. I would really like to hear the VT100X in action, since it's more designed for live situations.
A really, really great review which taught me loads of stuff. Many thanks. Got my VT40X earlier today and am very, very happy with it. Will be played at home and also gigged.
I've just bought it few hours ago. Because of the time is late I couldn't play it for hours but as I did.. Guys this amp is the one. If you are looking for 15-25 amps, do not hesitate and get this one right away. Whatever I say won't be able to convince you, just go and try it, you'll see.
Just got this amp today and omg what a nice little amp for 250 bucks..looks good, quiet as a mouse, plenty of power, sounds great , seem built really well and best thing is there is so much to play with. went from a fender jam to this Vox and there is no comparison..the fender jam can't touch it. i'm still kinda new to different amps..this Vox made me happy because my partscasters sound so much better on a "real" amp, thanks Vox.
I just got this amp and I'm SO GLAD I found this video. This little amp is complicated at first but I'm getting it. I will have to watch this video probably 10 times to retain the info. LoL
No matter what the tube guys say, most of these modelling amps sound really good. Where they frustrate me is the infinite tweakery required to set them up how you like them, as there are simply way to many sounds I don't like or will never use. What works for my P90s sucks for my humbuckers. While all the toys they build into them all sound good, I've tended to prefer a pretty simple amp
+Hugh Rogers A lot of these modeling amps sound great as practice amps and some don't. Very few sound good in a live/gig setting. Also, SS circuitry will never interact with your pickups and playing in the same manner as tubes do. Not saying that's a bad thing, some people just prefer different things.
+Remmy 315 Nothing to do with it. It's marketing to sell SS/Modelling to tubers. My Mustang can sound just as good as this - if I could play like him that is. Plenty of excellent SS amp that sound great too. Vox Pathfinder, Bandit, Roland JC40...
+Remmy 315 Thats a matter of opinion. There are many tube users who feel they get very close. Close enough to be able to ditch the tube heads and big combos for gigging convenience. See In The Blues channel, he demos this very well. When playing clean, it's not even a contest; worth discussing.
Some tube amps still represent "tone nirvana" but lugging them around...is almost never worth it. Small tube combos can be cool. But if you're just a working musician carrying your own gear a Valvetronix amp makes a LOT of sense.
I just stole one of these beauties on eBay. First off... That 8" speaker is in way over its' magnet (its' head). The amp is capable of much more than that dinky little speaker can handle. I'll be using a trick I found on TH-cam. You can remove the back, disconnect the speaker and attach an output jack. You then plug in a speaker cable to use the amp to drive a Marshall 4x12. The output is 5 ohms and the cab is 8 ohms - you'll lose a bit of power but this amp has plenty to spare. Secondly... The onboard FX are okay but won't challenge my huge of array of MXR pedals. I personally prefer the Fender Deluxe Reverb model (Setting #1). I then blast the sh!t out of it with an MXR Prime Distortion pedal. This amp is a great deal for the money. The Vox AC30 (normal channel) model is magnificent. I have a Vox AC15 and the sound coming from the VT20X is pretty darn close. For under $200 you won't find a better deal on a modeling amp.
Hi, Jeremy. Yes, certainly, the instrument you're using will always play a role in your guitar tone, so the amp is just part of the equation. Please feel free to reach out directly anytime and we'll be glad to help you get set up right. Thanks for your interest!

Tim Rogan , i had the first version, the headphone jack messed up (shorted), and blew the whole amp, luckily, i bought 2nd hand, didn't pay a lot, but these amps are considered throw away!, if it is out of warranty, they will not fix it !
I still have a Vox AD50VT. Aside from the lower wattage would this be a good upgrade? Not that I'm really looking for something else, but just curious. It seems a bit more portable to say the least.
Worst thing is the green yellow light, can't tell the difference to the green. Wish I could use the pedal to change from amp models instead of designing my own. I have a 100 marshall really heavy but took my Vox 20 to a gig and was amazed. I ran in and bought a VTx40 this week. fantastic. just hope I can alter the pedal board so I don't need to turn round on stage. Yes Im using a PRS too hahah
+Zack Mueller Good question, no this does not act as an audio interface for DAW software. The USB connection allows you to customize your own amp and effects settings via Vox Tone Room software. Give us a call at 800.222.4700 if we can help further, thanks for watching!
This has a USB connection? I can't find any documentation on that. I really need to know because I'm looking for another Vox amp (my 6th, I think...) and I already have 2 Valvetronix combo amps (older) that have no USB. Having PC connectivity for patches would make a big difference and I would definitely make a difference in my next amp selection.
Sooner or later they will add a USB audio interface to a modeling amp. Some amps already have MIDI, so that's not much of a stretch. Until then, it's Focusrite time....
It sure does . It’s an awesome amp with good tone at low volumes no need to crank it to get a good tone , you can also get some good metal tones too. Comes in 8” 10” and 12” speakers * I also have a VOX AC15 but I really don’t play it at home , it’s to loud . So this amp pays off . I’ve used in love sessions also .
@JKawper try it out . Set amp on Manuel and dial in you tone on either the mk2 or the double rec. (Mesa) you can also download the TONE ROOM app on your phone check it out has more amps . As for my self I need to buy a USB plug in to set the amp up but yeah you don’t have to have the amp to check out the app . Take a look at it
Hi, eagle52. The amp has three effects sections. One is dedicated to overdrive/distortion sounds, the next is modulation and delay, and the last one is reverb. You can get any combination of those going but not more than one from each section. Thanks for your interest!

Hello Mitch, i want to buy an amp that sounds like the Rock sound of the 60s and 70s. I came on this VOX VT20+ or the VOX AC4CTV or the VOX AC4C-BL.. what would you recommend me? or would you recommend even another amp until 300$?? Thank you for answer.
Hey, Jim! Quite a few amps can get a 60s/70s rock sound, but there are many different tones from that period and it depends on what direction you want to take it. I would be happy to help you narrow it down if you want to get in touch with me. Thanks for your interest! Connor Smith, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1793, connor_smith@sweetwater.com
@@sweetwater Thank you for help.i actually made up my mind for the VOX AV15.after watching VOX amp reviews for nearly a week now. So it happens that i find the VOX AV15 the best for me . i m not a pro. playing only since one year electric guitar. before some years acoustic guitar. but i m very into having the best sound. as i come from the 60s i remember .when i was 17 years old , 1973 i went to my first concert. in Switzerland. DEEP PURPLE. it was probably the best concert i have seen also. I always was crazy for a good guitar sound. just one hour ago i got in an offer from the Facebook Buy-Sell site.VOX Cambridge30W amp. it looks old. so it must be one of the kind rock amps. i would like it. he sells cheap for 270$ the problem is that he lives far away and i should send money first. but i cant trust in send money. too bad. i would have bought this old VOX Cambridge amp. it cost the same like a new VOX AV 15 W.
Hi, Kevin. Yes, all of the effects can be adjusted. Basically you would use the buttons in the effects section to select an effect and then use the Value 1 and 2 knobs to adjust some parameters. You can also connect it to your computer and use the Vox editor software to do further adjustments and tweaking. Thanks for your interest! Charlie Davis, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1320, charlie_davis@sweetwater.com
no hiss in mine. The previous versions were due to the noise gate not being adjusted properly. I always could get the hiss to disappear by changing the settings.
Thibaut Médard de Chardon i mainly play covers of joe satriani and genres like power and thrash metal do you think this or peavey vyper is a better fit
hello i have a question and sorry for my bad english...can i use the headphones output to recording through a mixer directly, i live in an apartament and i cant play at high volume to record in my home studio.
I need help Read Please i don't know did u record with vt+ or not. but with vt+ u can get the sound of Cry for you (andy timmons) exactly. but with VTX when u turn the gain up from 9 o'clock to right, the sound lose the distortion. i don't know why and i don't know how to fix the problem. anyone here experience this???
@@timketchum8875 Yeah, you are absolutely right. But there is something that bothers me. Although 20x is newer, there are not presets as much as 20+ has. And there are so many presets made by users for + models online which x models don't have any. Both of them contain the type of sound I want to get but I just couldn't figure it out by myself.
Hey, Kane! I'm sorry to hear about the issue. Feel free to send me an email or give me a call when you get the chance. I'd be happy to see if we can get the problem figured out. Connor Smith, Sweetwater Sales Engineer, (800) 222-4700 ext. 1793, connor_smith@sweetwater.com
@Kane6676 this little switcheroo gave me NIHL - noise induced hearing loss, I’m still recovering 6 months later. Love the amp though still, that’s how good it is
One of the VERY best reviews, I have ever seen!
Very thorough and informative and NOT saying "What a flash player I am"
Excellent, helpful review!!!
So.... I gather you're here, same as me, after watching the Anderton's shoot out? :D
Honestly these videos that are years old are still some of the best on TH-cam. Definitely keeps Sweetwater's reputation up to the online market. You can't get this level of demo in any guitar store.
Truth.
That was a great demo of all the features.
Yes, this is good.
This is the best overview of this amplifier on TH-cam. Really shows the features nicely - well done!
I've been playing acoustic and classical for about a year but was turned off by the overwhelming options of the amp/effects world of electric guitar. When I learned about modelling amps I ran out to the store immediately and bought a VT20X. For a beginner, this is the ultimate tool as you can experiment with so many sounds and practice so many different styles with just one guitar.

Just so you know, most modeling amps sound like this. It’s really the sound of a modeling amp.
Lol…I think most people go after the sound they like, they don’t have to have to whole god damn world… mostly.. a beginner should just get an amp that specializes in what they like. A modeler is fine. You don’t need to worry about shit you don’t even consider.
Finally someone has described how do these presets work! )
Seriously! I've been spending weeks trying to figure out the presets. The User Manual was rubbish and this video finally explained it well.
I bought one of these. One of the best sounding amps I've used in 35 years of playing. So fun, compact and affordable. Highly recommended!
Tony Lee Glenn does this amp have a good distortion
Plenty of great distortion sounds - truly.
Tony Lee Glenn I just got this too. It's great. Man, those rock n roll sounds are spot on
Yeah, you can. This is basically a third iteration of the Valvetronix combo amps. The second version was a "VTX" with metal emphasis. This one combines the original themes with the metal themes. It's more versatile. The only thing I like better about the second generation VTX series is the speakers. But are even better for the price.
U nevah be da mang!!!
Mitch, great job of giving a solid, understandable overview of an amp with so many tonal bells and whistles. You hit enough high spots to make this amp very tempting.
The way I look at it, you can't own every amp you dream of, but you can have one that gives you a taste of all of them. And even if they are not exact. They are based on them, close enough for fun and interesting sound.
I’ve had this amp for a while and it is amazing; however, I’ve learned more from your video then I ever knew about this amp. Good video. I have a Marshall jvm410 and a line 6 pod hd 500x, and this little practice amp will give it a run for its money
It's better than a marshall mg30cfx?
I want to bye one
Wich one is good ???
Very thorough demo with no BS. Great job!
Great budget amp... but remember not everyone has a $5000 private stock prs lol
Thank you I commented on that exactly they should be doing demos with a expensive guitar and mid-range guitar and an entry-level guitar so that people of all instrument qualities have an honest opinion of the amp.. I agree with you well stated
For modeling amps, they should use 'modeling' guitars such as Epiphone and Squire because that's what most modeling amp buyers play.
There is not much tonal difference between $3000 Gibson and $600 Epi with Gibson pickups. Not sure about PRS, but I guess any PRS SE model with decent pickups will sound great too. Most of price difference is in luxury features and to some extent in setup and feel.
Yes they do , email Paul and he will send you one out for free
Amp effects more of the tone than that disgusting PRS junk. Sounds about as lively as a corpse. As for Epi sounding like Gibson...lol no. We held a blind test in Guildford (Thanks Lee) and even members of the public who hadn't even heard the two before could pick out the LP over the T+ Epi with American Electronics. Nice try playing apologist for cheapskates who want to believe that price buys you nothing. But as someone who spends about 8 months a year building them..yeah. Stfu. You are clueless.
4:50 That's a great metal tone there !
The distortion seems like it's really good.
Wow... The only one demo that really explained that each mode has a few presets, but nobody except you showed it )
I never knew they were there and haven't seen that in the owners manual
Great review. Yours and Tony Lee Glenn's reviews made my purchase one of these (I got the VT40X) and I am in love with it! I've come from Guitar Rig 5 and, although the Vox doesn't have as many effects or amps, it sounds WAY better!
I own this amp and it's great! Very diverse, with surprisingly high quality sounds! \m/
hi do u think it sound decent with low tuning like drop a? i play modern metal
Sohib Conner I own one as well, and as far as I could tell it would work just fine
I own it too but on mine every time I turn it on or change the amps the volume turns all the way up even with the knob almost al the way down
Excellent and clear presentation! I ordered a VT20X for my Vox DA15 as a friend.
thank you for the review of this little amp, i was contemplating with this amp or the orange 35rt and this amp won me
Sounds great, the demo sounded well rehearsed.
I'll never understand why people demonstrate amplifiers using $5,000 guitars this is an entry-level amp people they should demo this using an entry-level guitar so that .

Thanks Mitch!! super helpful video! Greetings from Spain maaan!
I tried this out recently and its amazinging not for beginners but pros as well its super good and you can even play small sets with it
I just purchased this amp - never heard of it just walked into a guitar center and played it - I play a ESP EC 1000 Deluxe and A Gibson Les Paul Studio and an EVH Wolfgang and they all sound amazing on this amp - best less than $200 amp I have ever played

This review suchs. He talks too much and too fast.
DucksDeLucks - it’s only the most comprehensive operation instruction on youtube
Ac30, Tweed and Brit800 are the 3 I use
Just got my first guitar and chose this to be my first amp. It seems like I made a good purchase!
Just got mine on auction for 80€, really looking forward to trying it out.
great and clear review.
I still play my ad50vt every day, it's literally my glue to sanity.
Genuine amp really. Nice for it's price.
Yeah, I have one of these. really nice, very versatile, I use mine as a practice amp in my spare room. it's ideal for this.
A very good Review , thanks ! It's Vox , perfect ! 🤺
muy buen vídeo, muchas gracias!!!

Great review! =)
Looking for a present to my friend. Your video really helped to make a choice. Thank you.
Best review.
I have this vt20x it's great i love it!
So does this mean that i would not need a pedal? Im a beginner
wow, so 33 preset sounds without even connecting it with the usb?
Does the guitar effect the sound of the amp?

thanksss you help me so much
I bet that would sound great with my PRS SE Custom 24 35th Anniversary Edition. Sounds great. 👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Спасибо за обзор,звук хороший
Hope they are making them better than the original version. We had two sizes of the original version and both crapped out/got intermittent on us.
Tim Rogan , i had the first version, the headphone jack messed up (shorted), and blew the whole amp, luckily, i bought 2nd hand, didn't pay a lot, but these amps are considered throw away!, if it is out of warranty, they will not fix it !
Hello ; I can see you used a microphone but does this amp sound very good?
My English is not good ; sorry !
excellent review! i doubt anyone
buying this would be playing a 5k prs eagle lol. i will say the layout of the controls is superb
Gnarly budget amp with tons of tones
hey mitch can you put your pedal effect on this amp and use ate the clean mode or only use the effects of the amp?
I still have a Vox AD50VT. Aside from the lower wattage would this be a good upgrade? Not that I'm really looking for something else, but just curious. It seems a bit more portable to say the least.
Is it pedal friendly?
I take the 100 watt is the same just bigger and louder?
Chris Davies the difference between 20-30-40-100 watts amps, if they are the same line, it’s the power of the sound and the quality.
Worst thing is the green yellow light, can't tell the difference to the green. Wish I could use the pedal to change from amp models instead of designing my own. I have a 100 marshall really heavy but took my Vox 20 to a gig and was amazed. I ran in and bought a VTx40 this week. fantastic. just hope I can alter the pedal board so I don't need to turn round on stage. Yes Im using a PRS too hahah
Thinking about buying one of these do these have great metal sound? Just asking lol
Vox is not made for metal, if u want metal amps i recommend peavey
Can get a nice rockabilly tone with this one.
Should I go for the VT20+ or VT20X? I need some advices! Thanks
Good vid.
hello, what setting to obtain a sound that resembles Tokio Hotel? THANKS
What mic and guitar are you using?
SM57. Guitar is a PRS, a custom perhaps.
Can you use this as an "interface" to record in logic?
+Zack Mueller Good question, no this does not act as an audio interface for DAW software. The USB connection allows you to customize your own amp and effects settings via Vox Tone Room software. Give us a call at 800.222.4700 if we can help further, thanks for watching!
+SweetwaterSound So is this something that can't be used with Garageband for instance?
This has a USB connection? I can't find any documentation on that. I really need to know because I'm looking for another Vox amp (my 6th, I think...) and I already have 2 Valvetronix combo amps (older) that have no USB. Having PC connectivity for patches would make a big difference and I would definitely make a difference in my next amp selection.
Sooner or later they will add a USB audio interface to a modeling amp. Some amps already have MIDI, so that's not much of a stretch. Until then, it's Focusrite time....
@J P how do you do this then please?
orange crush 35rt or this one? i read on sites this one has valve lamp preamp
It sure does .
It’s an awesome amp with good tone at low volumes no need to crank it to get a good tone , you can also get some good metal tones too. Comes in 8” 10” and 12” speakers
* I also have a VOX AC15 but I really don’t play it at home , it’s to loud .
So this amp pays off . I’ve used in love sessions also .
@@raymondfernandez220 it’s good for metal?
@JKawper try it out . Set amp on Manuel and dial in you tone on either the mk2 or the double rec. (Mesa) you can also download the TONE ROOM app on your phone check it out has more amps .
As for my self I need to buy a USB plug in to set the amp up but yeah you don’t have to have the amp to check out the app . Take a look at it
@@raymondfernandez220 i bought it's nice for clean sound for me
What's the best between the Cambridge 50, VX50 and this for bedroom play ? (i play mostly Rock/Grunge and Metal)
Whats the difference b/w Tube driven and all tube Amp? Is this particular one a Tube Amp?
No, this is considered a Hybrid amp.
Is it possible to have more than one effect playing at one time... EG.. reverb.. delay..etc?
Hi, eagle52. The amp has three effects sections. One is dedicated to overdrive/distortion sounds, the next is modulation and delay, and the last one is reverb. You can get any combination of those going but not more than one from each section.
Thanks for your interest!

Hi guys! Help!
I'm going crazy trying to find the ac adapter for this amplifier but nobody seems to have it, any suggestions? Thanks
yep...i lost mine.had to order from parts is parts...official supplier. expensive- but its the only place i could find it.
Ebay
Great video but later he never turns off the built in tuner.
I do believe you sold me on this
It has a mesa boogie dual and JCM800, im in
Yeah it’s sounds awesome . I use a OCD pedal to push it some more
That is a horrible painting in the background
You have absolutely zero understanding of art
Hello Mitch, i want to buy an amp that sounds like the Rock sound of the 60s and 70s.
I came on this VOX VT20+ or the VOX AC4CTV or the VOX AC4C-BL.. what would you recommend me? or would you recommend even another amp until 300$?? Thank you for answer.
Hey, Jim! Quite a few amps can get a 60s/70s rock sound, but there are many different tones from that period and it depends on what direction you want to take it. I would be happy to help you narrow it down if you want to get in touch with me. Thanks for your interest!

@@sweetwater Thank you for help.i actually made up my mind for the VOX AV15.after watching VOX amp reviews for nearly a week now. So it happens that i find the VOX AV15 the best for me . i m not a pro. playing only since one year electric guitar. before some years acoustic guitar.
but i m very into having the best sound. as i come from the 60s i remember .when i was 17 years old , 1973 i went to my first concert. in Switzerland. DEEP PURPLE. it was probably the best concert i have seen also. I always was crazy for a good guitar sound.
just one hour ago i got in an offer from the Facebook Buy-Sell site.VOX Cambridge30W amp. it looks old. so it must be one of the kind rock amps. i would like it. he sells cheap for 270$ the problem is that he lives far away and i should send money first. but i cant trust in send money. too bad. i would have bought this old VOX Cambridge amp. it cost the same like a new VOX AV 15 W.
@@sweetwater Thank you for answering and offer help.
one negative is the speaker size is only 8",
10" it would be much better.
VT40X has the 10" speaker
+Mark Wallsworth Can you hook a cab up to this or something?
it has a single 12" speaker
+vic Jas Install a speaker out jack (very easy mod) and connect it to a cab.
+Damian Zuniga the speaker of this amp is 8", this is what the title of this video says
VOX VT20+ or VOX AC4CTV or VOX AC4C-BL..
what would you recommend to me?
can you adjust the delay effect ? noob over here !
Hi, Kevin. Yes, all of the effects can be adjusted. Basically you would use the buttons in the effects section to select an effect and then use the Value 1 and 2 knobs to adjust some parameters. You can also connect it to your computer and use the Vox editor software to do further adjustments and tweaking.
Thanks for your interest!

@@sweetwater thanks for the answer !
entry level amp, god-tier guitar... yes
i'm interested in this amplifier, but i read comments about some annoying hiss/noise... can owners give a feedback about that ?
Feel free to contact us at (800) 222-4700 to talk to a sales engineer about the Vox VT20X 1x8" Combo Amp! We would be happy to help!
no hiss in mine. The previous versions were due to the noise gate not being adjusted properly. I always could get the hiss to disappear by changing the settings.
Thibaut Médard de Chardon i mainly play covers of joe satriani and genres like power and thrash metal do you think this or peavey vyper is a better fit

hello i have a question and sorry for my bad english...can i use the headphones output to recording through a mixer directly, i live in an apartament and i cant play at high volume to record in my home studio.
Amazing video but I get terrible hum from my amp. Only has a 2 prong power cord. Does anyone know how to ground it?
I need help
Read Please
i don't know did u record with vt+ or not. but with vt+ u can get the sound of Cry for you (andy timmons) exactly. but with VTX when u turn the gain up from 9 o'clock to right, the sound lose the distortion. i don't know why and i don't know how to fix the problem. anyone here experience this???
So does the pre-amp tube do anything or just for show?
Vox vt 20+ or vox vt 20x? Which one should I buy? Need help desperately. They are about at the same prices
I believe the vt20x is the newer model, so I would go with that
@@timketchum8875 Yeah, you are absolutely right. But there is something that bothers me. Although 20x is newer, there are not presets as much as 20+ has. And there are so many presets made by users for + models online which x models don't have any. Both of them contain the type of sound I want to get but I just couldn't figure it out by myself.
Sweet
Nice PRS!
Does it have a controller available
Yes a foot switch and app
Wow he is holding the guitar in the classical way. I tought i am the only one who is doing this ;)
Ok so every time I change a setting it goes to full volume and shrieks with feedback. Anyone know if this can be changed
Hey, Kane! I'm sorry to hear about the issue. Feel free to send me an email or give me a call when you get the chance. I'd be happy to see if we can get the problem figured out.

@Kane6676 this little switcheroo gave me NIHL - noise induced hearing loss, I’m still recovering 6 months later. Love the amp though still, that’s how good it is
