Introduction

WELCOME ABOARD!

hanks for choosing the VOX AD15VT, AD30VT, AD50VT or AD100VT Valvetronix amp. TTo ensure a long and trouble-free relationship with your new amp, please read this

manual carefully, use the amp as directed and keep the manual for future reference.

MAIN FEATURES

•The AD15VT, AD30VT, AD50VT and AD100VT use Valve Reactor technology, and feature a power amp circuit containing a 12AX7 (ECC83) dual triode valve (“vacuum tube”) that would normally be used in a preamp. This allows the amp to produce the true sound and feel of a bona fide all valve (tube) amp.

•Sophisticated modeling technology is used to provide eleven different amps. They range from classic vintage amps of the past to current expensive high-end valve amps, and are accessible at the turn of a knob.

•Eleven high-quality effects are built in and seven are multi effects that let you use two effects simultaneously plus Noise Reduction.

•You can store your favorite amp and effect settings as a program, which contain two dif- ferent settings (CH1 and CH2).You can switch between these settings from the top panel, or by using the optional VFS2 foot switch connected to the rear panel (Channel Select mode). In addition, there’s one preset program for each amp type (Preset mode).

•In Manual mode the sound you hear will reflect the physical settings of the knobs.

•If you connect the optional VFS2 dual foot switch (sold separately*), you can use it to switch programs or bypass effects.

•The power level control (The AD15VT doesn’t have this feature.) lets you adjust the output wattage of the power amp. This means that even when the master volume is turned up to the max to drive the Valve Reactor power amp, you can adjust the volume without losing any tone.

•The external speaker out jack (AD50VT/AD100VT only) lets you connect a guitar speaker cabinet (8 ohm) of your choice.

•The effect send/return jacks (AD100VT only) allow you to connect your external effect processor in a loop connection.
