    I always appreciate how well defined the sound is on your demos. I run the sound through my home PA system and I really get a good feel for the tone of each amp or guitar your showcasing. Hat's off to your sound techs.
    I have a Vox VT15 practice amp with the VFS5 footswitch and I really like its versatility. It sounds pretty good miked into the system.

  • @anttipartti7736
    @anttipartti7736 Před 8 lety +4

    I have the previous VT40 as my second amp and I have to say I'm liking the way VOX have gone with this one. All the useless sounds gone, simplified, more rational pedal setup and the possibility to make your own sounds if you want to. There wasn't a single tone I didn't like on this video, nice! Wouldn't mind updating the old VT40. :-)

    @redhood_dj Před 5 lety +10

    This amp is wonderful. The best practice amp for a really low price. I had my "default" amp that came with my first guitar and sounded terrible. I actually thought I sucked at guitar. But after a couple years I boufht this one and oh boy I am actually good and my same 5 year old guitar sounds like heaven now

    I bought one of the 20 watt ones for our recording studio and, in the mix, the clients LOVE the sound and flexibility. We also have the Blackstar modeler and a Kemper to cover all the bases. On a recording, it's REALLY hard to find fault with these little amps.

    • @rodsimmons9337

    • @kioumarssaffary6189
      @kioumarssaffary6189 Před 4 lety

      actually i find one. i don't know did u record with vt+ or not. but with vt+ u can get the sound of Cry for you (andy timmons) exactly. but with VTX when u turn the gain up from 9 o'clock to right, the sound lose the distortion. i don't know why and i don't know how to fix the problem. anyone here experience this???

  • @arjanvanhelden3121
    @arjanvanhelden3121 Před 8 lety +4

    Truly great sounding amps on a budget... some time ago I went to my local store to try some tele's and I asked if he had a roland cube 30 watt. He didn't but told me he had something simular but better... he was not wrong! Sounded great and for like 200 euros or something, i dont remember

  • @ThroughFallenEyes
    @ThroughFallenEyes Před 8 lety +146

    i like the idea of a modeling amp shoot off. all of them pretending to be a fender with a real fender. all being a vox with a real vox there, etc. that would make for a great video. or even forget the real amp, and just go for "do you like the fender, vox, orange (etc) tone of modeling amp 1, 2, 3..." and pick your overall favourite amp.

    • @notarealperson87
      @notarealperson87 Před 8 lety +3

      +ThroughFallenEyes i love this idea! run the Vox modeling amps against the Yamaha THR and a Blackstar ID with the real deals. it would be hilarious if someone else did a better modeled Vox than Vox does in its models.

    • @jonathanoakey4745
      @jonathanoakey4745 Před 8 lety +8

      +CaptAnderton A quick trek around Google translate shows that "Voice" in Spanish and Portuguese is 'voz'; French is 'voix'; Italian and Romanian are 'voce'. Indeed, these are all Romance languages, coming from Latin (hence the "Roman" bit in "Romance"). And, of course, "voice" in English comes from the same root. There's also a lot of Greek in English, and Greek for voice is "phone".

      @@ignaciociccarelli1127 Hello there! I'm super happy with the amp. For my first amp it's really versatile and good-sounding. The only issue i've had was with the Vox Tone Room-app, i couldn't use my own setups after i saved them. But that was a software issue, not an issue with the amp itself. So all in all, i'd definitely recommend buying one.

I have two amps left and one of them is the the Vox AD30VT after 17 years or so. And the other is the Boss Katana Mini. Vox makes good amplifiers. i have not tried the new Vox's yet.

  • @lespauldisciple3349
    @lespauldisciple3349 Před 5 lety +6

    I just stole one of these beauties on eBay. First off... That 8" speaker is in way over its' magnet (its' head). The amp is capable of much more than that dinky little speaker can handle. I'll be using a trick I found on CZcams. You can remove the back, disconnect the speaker and attach an output jack. You then plug in a speaker cable to use the amp to drive a Marshall 4x12. The output is 5 ohms and the cab is 8 ohms - you'll lose a bit of power but this amp has plenty to spare. Secondly... The onboard FX are okay but won't challenge my huge of array of MXR pedals. I personally prefer the Fender Deluxe Reverb model (Setting #1). I then blast the sh!t out of it with an MXR Prime Distortion pedal. This amp is a great deal for the money. The Vox AC30 (normal channel) model is magnificent. I have a Vox AC15 and the sound coming from the VT20X is pretty darn close. For under $200 you won't find a better deal on a modeling amp.

    I looked up this VOX VTX review from Andertos because these guys cut though the shine and demonstrate product in the best light. The last amp I bought was a VTX that replaced my VOX AD15VY-XL which died of of a drinking problem. I fount the VTX more complicated than my AD15. I want to thank Andertons guys for their review that helped understand the VTX.

    Would love to see a British amps round up, of small/cheap to big/expensive. Especially would love to hear both of your opinions on the Vox VR series. Like practise amp, mid price solid state/low end valve, and the big ones of companies (Marshall, Orange, Vox, Blackstar, the big names etc) would be super cool!
    Also would love to see a solid state focused episode! (Would love to see Rob, or Bea try out a Randall, even though Andertons don't stock them!)

    • @Voxman5
      @Voxman5 Před 7 lety +5

      The original 'Blue' series Vox Valvetronix were great amps in their day, well ahead of their time, full featured, and designed as gigging amps. But construction and design was expensive. The 2x12 AD120VT stereo combo, was designed specifically for gigging, originally sold for around £900 and that was in 2001, and the later AD120VTX retailed at around £1100 in 2003 (closed back, marine grade birch ply cab & VTX 'Neodog' speakers that were an 80w variant of the Celestion G12 Century Vintage 'Neodymium' & that retail today at £130 each!) These amps weighed 58lbs so not light (although the 1x12 60w version was lighter)!
      The market has changed, and the biggest customer target today are bedroom, & small club players with only modest sums to spend. Emphasis now is on way cheaper build costs, compact low weight design, and better quality amp models and FX. In many ways, modelling amps have become somewhat 'disposable' much in the same way TV's have changed, with ever advancing technology. You can buy a VT100X for around £300 - compare that to an AD120VTX at £1100 in 2003! A VT20X is under £150 - so at that price you can comfortably discard it when a newer version comes out, and if it breaks down in a few years (just like modern TV's) its often cheaper to go out & buy the latest version than get the old repaired!
      So, mass market is now the name of the game. Modern modelling amps are packed with innovation but unlike tube amps, aren't designed to have the same longevity and will devalue quickly. By longevity I mean 'shelf life' ie they are 'of the moment' until the next generation comes round. But all the Valvetronix variants sound pretty good, are well made within their budgetry restrictions, are pretty reliable, and remain very popular. These amps simply wouldn't continue unless these amps were well received by customers, and with internet forums and youtube videos, manufacturers have to design & sell good products because if they design a dud, it will be all over the internet in, literally, minutes!
      So, manufacturers like Vox, Marshall, Fender & Line 6 do superbly well to keep bringing out innovative products - and because customer expectation is now so high, it's an ever increasing challenge for them to deliver what customers want at a price they can afford, and still make a realistic profit.

    Another great video guys, thank you. I live just outside of Belfast and would love to see you guys come over here and do some workshops / demos / gigs. Plenty of independent music shops here who might be interested in hosting and even stocking Chapman guitars too. The whole island is rife with music fans and players covering all genres so a mini version of your USA tour would be a lot of fun for you I have no doubt. As far as I know there is not a single Chapman dealer on the island so there must be an opportunity to get the guitars in people's hands. Look. It's Ireland. I don't actually think you need convincing. You want to do it. Plus, all your electronicary will work with our plug sockets - the whole island is on the uk standard. Guinness, craft ales, great grub, top pubs and clubs, nice people, world class scenery and enough rock fans to keep you taking all bloody night. I'll happily help with some local fixing if you want to look into this more. Keep up the good work.

    • @Fabian-cc7ik
      @Fabian-cc7ik Před 8 lety

      +Rob Chapman I think the actual problem is that in german law doing reviews like you do in association with a retailer like Andertons is seen as activly trying so sell gear, so it falls under the commercial laws in germany and you would have to pay for any content that you use and don't own, like songs. Make of that what you want, I think it's ridiculus since it kind of provides free advertisement for Bands/Songs, but what do I know.

    Neil said it best," Words between the lines of age" Great review gentlemen. I have the prior version of this amp and I kinda like it. The "New" voicings are great sounding and I think improved compared to the older version. I added a speaker out mode to run a different cab bypassing the on board speaker so if want to run an open back or something else you can, great mod for these amps.

    One small criticism, these are low budget amps that are really designed for your average home player who will more than likely have a Squier or an Epiphone, surely it would be better and more in touch with the real world if you demo'd amps in this sort of price bracket on more modestly priced guitars?

    My friend and I took a road trip to Ireland a while back, inspired by an Amy Winehouse doc, she played in Dingle, St James's church, we travelled from Dublin, all the way to that church in Dingle following the coast. Here are reasons to visit,
    1. the South is breathtakingly, stunningly beautiful.
    2. we were so well looked after I was sincerely emotionally overpowered by it all.
    3. walk into a pub with guitar cases, they will supply you with alcohol, ask you to play, stay open until 3 (maybe they do that anyway) and thoroughly enjoy your company!
    4. a Lady in Dingle who ran a little cafe, drove for 3 hours, to return a single plectrum to us, based only on the info that we were staying in a van and in a car park. She also fed us the most amazing home made chowder out of pure kindness.
    5. Fresh sping water is unbelievable, and free.
    6. The local folk music is absolutely gorgeous and will bring grown men to tears.
    7. Guinness really is really good
    8. Food is.. Oh. Sorry.
    9. The generosity is phenomenal and seemingly limitless.
    10. I have stories from that trip that I still think of with extreme fondness and tell from time to time.
    Honestly Chappers, you and the Cap'n should do it! You're both gregarious and charming, you'll have a wonderful time over there. :)

    That practice amp modelling video idea is superb! Could you for instance do a Roland Cube, Vox VTX, Fender Mustang, Blackstar ID:Core, Line 6 Spider, ... shoot-out video in which you compare their modeling of Fender-type, Vox-style and Marshall-type amps? Maybe even compare those models to an actual Fender Blackface, Vox AC-30, Marshall Plexi, 5150 & Rectifier? I suppose it would be a lot of work, but the results could also be rather epic!
