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.
