Authentic Tube Tone with High-performance DSP

The Vox VT20X modeling guitar combo amplifier employs sophisticated digital technology, along with a unique analog circuit, to bring you authentic tube power amp performance. Vox analyzed actual amp components and circuits when they designed the VT20X, so each of its 11 amplifier models sounds incredibly realistic. A multi-stage Valvetronix tube preamp incorporates true tube circuitry, so you feel the subtle nuances that you'd expect from a tube guitar amp. A tightly sealed cabinet and expertly designed bass-reflex structure, along with 13 classic stompbox effects, ensure that the Vox VT20X modeling guitar combo amplifier delivers an unbelievably powerful tone that far exceeds its modest size.

Vox VT20X Modeling Guitar Combo Amplifier at a Glance:
  • Hybrid analog/digital technology yields stunning tone
  • High-performance DSP delivers next-level sound quality
  • Tone Room editor/librarian software for customizing amps and effects
Hybrid analog/digital technology yields stunning tone

When Vox was designing the VT20X, they didn't just model the sound of guitar amplifiers, they employed VET (Virtual Elements Technology) to analyze each amp down to the component level. The result is a true-to-life reproduction of each model's characteristics. A Valvetronix preamp incorporates a multi-stage tube amplification circuit to provide you with the distinctive distortion, response, and tonal characteristics of a classic tube amplifier. The VT20X's power amp stage combines a unique analog circuit with a high-performance digital power amp to duplicate the tonal differences between Class A and AB, the effect of bias values on tone, and the changes in dynamic response of tubes.

High-performance DSP delivers next-level sound quality

Highly sophisticated DSP imbues the Vox VT20X with an enormous level of processing power. You'll hear the difference in the VT20X's sampling rate and sound of each of its 11 realistic amp models and in the quality of its 13 onboard effects.

Tone Room editor/librarian software for customizing amps and effects

The Vox VT20X's included Tone Room editor/librarian software puts an enormous amount of customizing power at your fingertips. You can tweak parameters to such a degree that it's almost like building your own instrument. When using Tone Room in conjunction with the VT20X, you gain access to a broad range of 20 realistic models of some of the most sought-after amplifiers around. Sixty preset programs, some modeled after the signature sounds of famous guitarists, unlock the full potential of the VT20X. Nearly everything is editable and storable, so once you craft the perfect tone, you can easily recall it later.

Vox VT20X Modeling Guitar Combo Amplifier Features:
  • VET (Virtual Elements Technology) delivers stunning sound quality
  • Valvetronix preamp uses a multi-stage tube circuit for real tube sound and feel
  • Unique analog circuit brings you authentic tube power amp performance
  • High-performance DSP delivers next-level sound quality

Great Amp!

Works and sound great, love all of the options
Rated 5/5

Very good

Took me a little time to learn, but this is really a great sounding little amp.

I would definitely recommend this amp,as the more time I have spent with it, the more I like it
Rated 5/5

Rolls Royce of bedroom amps!

This is a great sounding small combo amp. The tube in the pre-amp gives the sound a liveliness that I don't get from my all-solid-state amps. The 8-inch speaker provides an impressive kick that sounds like a bigger cone. The on-board tones are really nice, and they are useful, not the far-out sounds that others offer that I'll never use. I like that I can get high-gain tones at reasonable volume levels, much easier than I can with my solid-state amps. And if I turn it up, I can rattle everything on the nearby bookshelves before I get near max volume; it is surprisingly loud.

I bought this on Black Friday. This is a fantastic amp at this price point.

Rated 5/5

Killer amp at a killer price

I've been playing a long time, and I've played a ton of amps. This one is right up there with the best I've used. Very versatile, tube amp with a plethora of good tones. Don't be fooled by the small size either, this thing will crank. I would highly recommend this to players of any level, and style.
