Real tube feel with the flexibility of a modelling amp. The VOX VT40X Classic Blue is a 40 watt guitar combo from the new VT-X Classic Blue series. It mixes VOX’s VET+ digital modelling with a real 12AX7 tube, so cleans, crunch and leads respond to how hard you play.
Why customers choose it
- Tube at the heart: the 12AX7 drives more of the tone than before, for natural compression, warmth and edge-of-breakup response.
- VET+ modelling: the next generation of VOX Virtual Element Technology, from the research behind the AC HWR series.
- Many sounds in one amp: 11 amp models and 33 programs on board, expandable to 20 models and 60 programs with the free VOX Tone Room software.
- Effects built in: Pedal 1 (comp, chorus, overdrive, distortion), Pedal 2 (flanger, phaser, tremolo, delay), 4 reverb types and noise reduction.
- Shape your tone: Bias Shift and Class selector, plus Gain, Bass, Middle, Treble and Power Level.
- Practice friendly: headphone output, aux input to play along with songs, and USB for editing.
Who it is for
Guitarists who rehearse with a band, play small to mid gigs or want a bigger-sounding home amp with many tones. Also good for students and teachers who need clean, crunch and high-gain sounds from one amp.
