    Default Vox VT-50

    I visited the music store with a friend today and tried out the new Vox VT line.. I was so impressed with the Vox-30! Unfortunately it didnt have enough headroom for my needs so I ordered the Vox VT-50 and its due to arrive this week... Those VT amps really sound great, I compared the AC30TB channel to a real AC30 CC and it wasnt a lot of difference at all..

    I've heard great things about them. They definitely listened to their customers with some of the changes/upgrades from the ADxxVT line. If I were in the market for a new amph right now, I'd give the VT line a long look.

    Sweet! The Vox grabbed our SuperSwede it seems! Made you flip open that credito card again...

    I gotta try these amps myself one day.

    I was in the market for a new amph anyway, but this was to my ears so much better than the previous versions so I abandoned my thoughts on buying a AC15 CC that they had for about the same money...

    I would have gone for the 30 watt model if it didnt "fart out" so quickly when I raised the volume.. and its nice to have the ext.cab out as well.

    CONGRATS SWEDE, that was my second choice, I just felt the Acoustosonic setting the FEnder was what made my final choice, I know there are some on here that use acoustic guitars but I do quite often.

    Congrats on the new amp. You'd probably like the AC50 CP2 if you could find one to try out.

    Hard to find now. I don't know if VOX discontinued this amp or not, but if they did, it only had a three year run. It's a very good amp with good tone.

    It arrived today! What a heavy amp (both sound and physical weight!)..

    I had just a short time to play around with it but I am REALLY impressed so far... The AC50CP2 amp is sooo nice

    *update*

    I got a little time for myself and decided to play some VT50 at low volume (kids are asleep).. When I turned it on I heard a fan spinning, does the older adXXvt amps have fans? I can understand why since the area where the tube sits gets rather hot after a while, the tube is definately hotter in this than in the tonelab.

    Played around with the classic valvetronix Botique OD model, thats a really cool sound! Another great amp model is the UK90´s, it can go from almost clean to full crunch..

    Yes, the ADxxVT also has a fan.

    Was that just the 50s or bigger? If my 30 has one, I've never seen/heard it.

    Oh, could be. The 50 has one, I just assumed the smaller ones had that too.
