Mmmm...Volume

Picked this up today from a guy in the next town over, via Craigslist. I'd been looking for a deal on the newer version, the VT50, but the price was right, and this has got more bells and whistles on it than I'll really need.

Vox Valvetronix AD50VT


Amazingly versatile and it nails the classic tube amps.

It puts together the amazingly realistic tube preamp sound of Valvetronix technology, Valve Reactor circuitry for the sound and feel of tube power, and 11 models of vintage and modern amp classics including the legendary AC30. It also packs a block of 11 high-quality effects including composites, 50W of juice, and a 12" Vox Original speaker. Knob-based controls make it easy to drive. 2 channels and manual mode give you 3 distinct sound sets. Output wattage is adjustable.
