Pure Tube Sound - Vox Style!
The pure tube sound of Valvetronix is more affordable than ever! The new AD15VT, AD30VT and AD50VT pack the amazingly versatile tube sound of Valvetronix into three new amps that introduce a modern twist to the traditional VOX design.


VOX Valvetronix AD50VT at a Glance:
  • "VOX Valve Reactor" circuit delivers real tube power sound, preset mode gives you the characteristic sound of the amp you select.
  • Eleven realistic amp models are built-in, knob-based interface for quick and intuitive editing.
  • Eleven different types of popular, high-quality effects.
  • Store your own user programs in CH1 and CH2.
  • Manual mode lets you hear the exact sound settings that the knobs are indicating.
  • Convenient line/headphone jack for home recording or late-night practice.
  • The AD50VT features a power level control that lets you adjust the output wattage of the power amp.
  • The optional VFS2 dual foot switch lets you switch programs or bypass the effect.


VOX Valve Reactor for true tube power amp sound and feel.
The AD15VT, AD30VT and AD50VT feature the patented VOX Valve Reactor found on all Valvetronix products. The Valve Reactor circuit uses a 12AX7 triode vacuum tube together with an actual low-wattage tube power amp circuit, a virtual output transformer and a dummy speaker circuit that simulates the impedance changes of a real speaker. It also reconfigures itself so that its characteristics are the same as the amps it's modeling (class A, class AB, negative feedback circuit, etc.) This means that all of the nuances of the original amp model including sound, feel, distortion and presence are reproduced accurately by the AD50VT.

Eleven realistic amp models using sophisticated modeling technology
the Vox AD50VT provides a total of eleven coveted amp types. Starting with the classic AC30 and ranging from vintage to modern, hi-gain to clean, a variety of amp models are built-in to the AD50VT, giving you an incredible range of sound-creating potential. Selecting the amp model and adjusting the tone controls on the AD50VT is as intuitive as it gets - just turn the knobs!

Eleven high-quality effects cover the basics.
Nine standard effects indispensable for any guitarist are built-in to the AD50VT. These include auto wah, compressor, phaser, chorus, flanger, tremolo, rotary, delay and reverb. With the addition of combination-type effects, the AD50VT gives you a total of eleven effects to choose from. Each effect lets you adjust several parameters. The AD50VT also has a Tap button that makes it easy to set the delay time or modulation speed.

Save your user programs in CH1 or CH2.
The AD50VT's Channel Select mode lets you save two of your own programs,including the combination of amp and effect settings. You can access either channel at a touch, for immediate switching while you play.

Easily select the classic sound for each amp type.
TheAD50VT's new Preset mode gives you a tonal starting point for each amp model. You can enter Preset mode at the touch of a button, and then simply choose an amp model to automatically get the preset sound for that amp. Select a Preset, modify it and save it to CH1 or CH2. AD50VT Includes the following amp models:

Vox AD50VT Amp Models:
  • Boutique Clean Dumble
  • Boutique Overdrive Dumble
  • Black 2 x 12 Fender
  • Tweed 4 x 10 Fender
  • AC15 Vox
  • AC30TB Vox
  • UK '60s Marshall
  • UK '70s Marshall
  • UK '80s Marshall
  • UK Modern Marshall
  • Numetal Boogie


Manual mode lets you hear your exact sound settings.
In Manual mode, the sound you're hearing from the AD50VT will be exactly what the knob settings indicate - just as on a conventional amp. The AD50VT is visually intuitive, so it's quick and easy to create just the sound you're looking for.

Convenient line/headphone jack for home recording or late-night practicing
You can connect the AD50VT's line/headphone jack to your mixer, multi-track recorder or headphones. Since the character of the cabinet is also added to this signal, the sound of the AD50VT will have a sense of "air" and depth even when you're listening through headphones or recording direct.

Adjust the output wattage of the power amp
The AD30VT lets you adjust the output wattage from 1~30W, and the AD50VT lets you adjust the output wattage from 1~50W,so you can lower the volume without losing the sense of drive that's unique to tube amps. You can get the great distinctive tube sound at a volume that's appropriate for any location.

Footswitchable control
If the optional VFS2 dual foot switch is connected to the AD50VT, you can use it to switch between user programs (CH1, CH2) or to bypass the effect. Alternatively, you can choose to have the footswitch activate the AD50VT's Manual mode instead of Effect Bypass, which gives you handsfree switching between three different sounds (the two user programs and the Manual settings) for convenience during a live performance.

“As luthier (guitar builder) I run across many different guitar players with as many if not more amps, and sounds that they are trying to achieve, for me to own all of those rigs I wouldn't have room for my tools. So enters the AD50VT Vox and it's many modeling modes, I can cover Tweed to High gain and just about anything in between. With this tool I can model such a verity of amps I can build a...” Read More

Sweetwater Expert Advice
 
  "Forget all the "here today, gone later today" practice amps - someone finally made a practice amp that actually sounds good! Just like its more powerful Valvetronix brethren, the AD50 actually sounds better as you turn it up. And at 50 watts, it's conceivably loud enough for jam sessions and smaller club gigs. At this price point, there's no excuse for not owning one; you'll find no end of uses for it."
Rob Russell
