The preamp circuit that decisively determines the character of the sound uses a completely analog design, and is constructed with a huge number of carefully selected resistors and capacitors. These are perhaps the most revolutionary tube amps in all of VOX's long history.Īnalog preamp circuits that provide eight distinct sounds Rounding out the feature set are three high-quality effects including Chorus, Delay & Reverb. The classic tones of the AV range are further enhanced by a customizable tube equipped analog power section and a unique, sealed speaker enclosure for improved resonance.
Special attention was paid to the analog design, which is painstakingly constructed from a staggering number of components. Featuring 12AX7 driven preamp and power amp sections, these amps feature eight distinct analog preamp circuits that create eight types of tube sound ranging from transparently clean to crunchy chime and modern high-gain.
VOX AMP KEY HOLDER SERIES
The AV series is a new concept in tube amps, delivering versatile tube sound yet excelling in affordability. While multi-voice tube amps do exist, they are few and far between, and hardly ever affordable. The signing tone of a tube amp, the stunning presence … there's a certain sound that can only be attained by analog circuitry and by a tube amp in particular. Here's what Vox say about the AV Amplifiers Do note that these settings may change how long the valves last for. These change how the valves run and how much extra saturation or headroom is available within the amp. On the power amp side you have the Bias and Reactor controlls. On the preamp side you have the commonly seen bright and fat switches which boost the high or low end respectively. Each of these also has two small switches to help you dial in the amp to your perfect tone. One that works with the preamp and one for the poweramp. The AV line of amps all have two 12AX7 tubes built in. To make sure this didn't happen Vox went back to the drawing board and came up with new Modulation, Delay and Reverb modules that can be run on any of the preamps! Now you don't need to worry about always having your pedals set up as most of the effects you need are built right in. The worst part about amps that claim to be versatile is half the time they forget about effects or if they do include them they sound terrible.
As these are all 100% analogue tube powered circuits (thanks to a master 12AX7 preamp tube.) you know that the tone is going to have that warm saturation that tubes produce. With these 8 different preamps covering everything from country grade clean tones to crushing high gain that would please even the biggest of metal heads. British amps on the other hand have a lot more of a midrange boost. Normally American amps have a lot of extra lows and highs with a rolled off midrange. Most of the time these are American and British options which does make a big difference to the tone. You have two different tonal styles for each type of amplifier. Each designed afters some of the worlds most popular amps you can get a surprising range of tones without any digital modelling. The key to this amps versatility is the 8 independant analogue preamps. Rated at 30w the AV30 is in the middle of the range and is the first to feature 2 channels. The new AV line brings both of these sides together to make a valve amplifier with the power and versatility of a modelling amplifier. Their mid powered classic British valve amps and their small modelling practice amps made to give beginners all the tones they need at home. Vox are well known for two types of amplifier. Known for its bell-like chime and bright jangly sound, undoubtedly the Vox* AC30 is very influential in defining the sound of the British movement with the faces of The Beatles*, Queen*, The Who*, The Clash*, Ritchie Blackmore*, Oasis*, U2*, and Radiohead*.Ĭonsistently in production for more than 50 years, the Vox* AC30 went through many incarnations and models throughout its history of different holders.This item is ex display. Vox* AC30 were built as the demand for louder amps increased in the late 50s where the rock and roll culture began to shine.
A treble booster pedal FX is also included giving the plugin a total modern incarnation of the original hardware setup. In addition, a parallel signal path from the normal and top boost channel similar with the jumpered-mod gives the amp more mojo from the tone sought after by many guitarists. This time, we take one step further in translating the inspirations of Vox Amplifiers* to recreate its original tone and feel throughout the decades, making distinct sounds from the 70’s, 90’s and late 2000’s accessible for guitarists.
