VOX Unveils VT Series Amps

Vox expands its Valvetronix line

Melville, NY (September 12, 2008) -- VOX has expanded its line of Valvetronix tube-powered modeling amplifiers with the introduction of the new VT Series 15-Watt VT15, 30-Watt VT30, 50-Watt VT50 and 100-Watt VT100 combos.

As with all Valvetronix models, these amps feature VOX''s patented Valve Reactor technology. ThisĀ design uses aĀ 12AX7 tube circuitĀ that creates anĀ analog power-amp circuit.

Ā 

New features include:
- 22 ultra-authentic amp models
- 12 high-quality effects
- 66 preset programs
- 8 footswitchable user programs
- Built-in speaker-emulated headphone/line-out jack
- Optional VFS5 footswitch, providing hands-free program switching

The new design combines the metal grills of the previous Valvetronix AD Series with new cream chicken head/pointer knobs that pay homage to VOX''s heritage. Each model features VOX custom-designed speakers. External speaker output is provided on VT50 and VT100, and an effects loop on VT100.

The VOX VT15 and VT30 will be available in October 2008 with MSRPs of $280 and $375, and the VT Footswitch will have an MSRP of $84. The VT50 and VT100 will be available in December, pricing TBA. Ā

The company's founding master luthier Richard Hoover invites PG's John Bohlinger inside his NorCal guitar sanctuary. The first installment shares Hoover's deep appreciation and reverence for wood and nature. He explains that he was moved by the redwoods at an early age setting him up for a life among the trees. He then gets into how he sustainably sources exotic tonewoods from across the world before detailing how he mixes violin-making traditions with the modern scientific analysis he's helping collect with Stanford to try and build the best instruments possible.
