VT Series Amp Models

 

Bank A

 

A-1: BOUTIQUE CL

This models the clean channel of a high-quality amp that was produced only on

special order, and was known as the overdrive special. With a beautifully rounded

low range, a sharp mid-range attack, and a sweet treble register, this is ideal for

single coil pickups.

 

A-2: DELUXE TWEED

This American-made 1x12" hand-wired tube combo amp is one of the most loved

club/studio amps in history. Its 12W of warm sound that responded sensitively to

the player’s touch was projected from a tweed-covered cabinet made of solid pine.

 

A-3: SUPER 4X10

This American-made combo amp containing four 10" speakers was produced from

1963–1968, and noted for its big clean sound and its warm, husky sound when driven.

 

A-4: AC15TB

This is a modern amp that combines the ideally sweet tone of the AC15’s low-output

power amp with the highly-flexible tones of the AC30’s top boost channel.

 

A-5: AC30HH

The AC30HH is a hand-wired all-tube amp head sold to commemorate VOX’s fiftieth

anniversary. This amp has no rival in its ability to create sparkling chime-like

clean sounds and creamy warm overdrive sounds.

 

A-6: EXPRESS TRAIN

This models a wood-finished 30W boutique amp head that cost more than $25,000. It

delivers sparkling glassy clean tones, and raising the gain will produce overdrive

sounds that are startlingly sweet in a musical way.

 

 

A-7: AC50CP2

The VOX AC50CP2 classic plus combo is VOX’s new concept in all-tube amps. This

amp models the more high-gain channel 2 with the “Fat Switch” turned off.

 

A-8: UK 25TH

Based on a UK-made 100W head, this amp was created for a famous guitarist known

for his amazing tone, slash rhythms, and liking for silk hats. If you have a desire for

ultimate metal tones, this amp will be the perfect choice.

 

A-9: US ‘90S

This two-channel 120W head manufactured in Mississippi was designed for a legendary

guitar hero known for his “brown sound.” This amp models features a highgain

sound that’s ideal for the tapping performance technique.

 

A-10: UK MODERN

This models an English-made 100W amp head released in 2007 and boasting a fourchannel

design with powerful tone. On the VT15/30, we’ve used the “Overdrive 1”

channel that produces a tight low-end and transparent high-gain metal sound.

 

A-11: BOUTIQUE METAL

This models the crushing high-gain sound emanated from a German-made 100W

four-channel amp head. On the VT15/30, we chose the “Heavy” channel that delivers

a startling tightness when played with a dropped-D metal tuning.

 

Bank B

 

B-1: MODDED CL

This modifies an American-made black-paneled amp that has been modified. With

this modification, an already-superb amp gains even greater smoothness and additional

warmth.

 

B-2: TWEED 2X12

This American-made tweed-covered 2x12" combo amp made in 1957 is known for

its rich and clean tone that’s ideal for classic rock, blues, and country. By raising the

volume you can also produce a powerful and punchy overdrive sound.

 

B-3: TWEED 4X10

This models a 4x10" combo amp from 1959 that was originally designed for bass

guitar. Its smooth and crisp overdrive sound will respond sensitively to your picking

dynamics and to the volume of your guitar.

 

B-4: AC15

This models channel 2 of the VOX AC15 (1x12," 15W), which was manufactured in

1962 and was a big hit for its compact cabinet, power, and great tone – along with

then-popular British bands.

 

B-5: AC30TB

This models an AC30 amp with the “top boost” circuit that was included as standard

starting with units produced in 1964. It delivers a smooth and refined top end, majestically

deep overdrive, and a rich and brilliant clean sound.

 

B-6: BOUTIQUE OD

This models the overdrive channel of a 100W high-quality amp that was produced

only on special order, and known as the overdrive special. The wonderful sustain

obtained by raising the [GAIN] control is smooth and soulful.

 

B-7: AC30BM

This models the AC30BM Brian May signature model which faithfully reproduces

every nuance of the legendary original AC30 from the 1950’s. On the VT15/30, this

setting provides the screaming sound of the amp being overdriven with the treble

booster turned on.

 

B-8: UK ‘80S

This models a UK-manufactured 100W single-channel head with master volume

made in 1983. Turn the gain control all the way up to get that thick, snarling hard

rock and heavy metal sound that dominated the 80’s.

 

B-9: CALI METAL

This models the modern high-gain channel from a wild beast of a high-gain amp. Its

deep and loose low-end, sparkling highs, and monstrous gain are ideal for guitars

tuned as low as possible, or for metal acts wielding seven-string guitars.

 

B-10: UK ‘90S

This models the high-gain channel of a modern 100W amp. While individual notes

are clearly defined, it delivers a monster sound that’s quite aggressive and arrogant.

 

B-11: METAL BULL

This models a California-made amp head with a three-channel design and versatile

gain switches that produce a wide variety of sounds. On the VT15/30, we’ve modeled

the lead channel that produces the ultimate high-gain tone.
