FEATURES
• The XL-series uses Valve Reactor technology, and feature a power amp circuit con-
taining 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-XL 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-XL / AD100VT-XL only) lets you connect a
guitar speaker cabinet (8 ohm) of your choice.
• The effect send/return jacks (AD100VT-XL only) allow you to connect your external
effect processor in a loop connection.
