The ADxxVT settings thread!

[Tone2TheBone]

Last night I cranked the mids up all the way on the UK70s model with the gain and volume dimed too.....made me go "yeahhh" (Rip) The nice thing about the Vox's is that they sound pretty good at ridiculous low everyone's going to bed now volumes. I still love my Marshall though.

I came across this forum while doing a search for Valvetronix settings. I just bought a Vox AD100VT and for the life of me, can't seem to dial in a good lead tone for my strat. Any suggestions would be really helpful.

Define "good lead tone". What sound are you going for?

In general, I find that the sequence of:

1. switching to Manual mode with the effects on Bypass,
2. selecting one of the 11 amp models and dialing in the volume & tone stack, and
3. turning off Bypass, selecting and fine-tuning the effect I want to use

works best for me. My favorite amp models with my Strat are the Boutique Clean, Black 2x12, Tweed 4x10 and AC30TB. For the first two, if I want some break-up, I use an overdrive pedal like the Bad Monkey. For the latter two, just push the Gain knob past 12 noon....

What I'm looking for is a good lead tone with some nice overdrive/moderate distortion. I haven't found that sweet spot on the amp yet with some of the tones. Love the Bassman but I'd like a little more gain. I haven't tried pedals yet, so that might give me what I need.

I'm still getting used to this amp too (had it for 2 weeks) so it may just be a matter of experimentation.

Do you use your neck pup or bridge for solos? Just curious.

I like the Bassman, too, and also wanted THIS model with a little more gain. So i put a Marshall Bluesbreaker II pedal in front of it. It sounds great in my opinion. You can use it for solos with the neck pickup and also the bridge pickup. An alternative would be the Digitech Bad Monkey, which is used by some members here. The Vox AD Series behaves like a real tube amp when blown by a booster pedal.

Also, you will have to get used to the amp. After a while, you will be able to set nearly every kind of tone just in seconds. I most play in Manual Mode and don't use the presets.
