A modern evolution of Vox’s game-changing Valvetronix tone
Since their original unveiling in the early aughts, Vox’s Valvetronix amplifiers have been top sellers here at Sweetwater. Beyond that, the VT series, fueled by VET modeling and bolstered by a tube-fueled preamp, proved to be an absolute game changer. The VT40X Classic Blue retains everything players love about the previous VT models, including the revolutionary hybrid design, bass-reflex cabinet design, and seamless software integration, but leverages modern technology to deliver an even better playing experience. For starters, improved VET+ modeling offers outstanding tubelike dynamics and response, providing you with smoother, harmonically richer tones that deliver, in Vox’s own words, “undistorted within distortion” with crunch to light overdrive settings. Moreover, the VT40X Classic Blue’s optimized DSP-to-tube balance reinvigorates its tube drive, delivering a smoother transition between clean and crunch tones when you roll back your guitar’s Volume knob, as well as more expressive dynamics.
