Vox AD60VTX Modeling Amp
I’ve been saying for a number of years now that modeling amps have come a long way and
should not be disparaged as much as they often are by “tube snobs” (of which I am probably one).
Modern modeling amps haven’t yet made good tube amps obsolete, but on the other hand
modeling amps certainly fulfill a very useful and, for some, essential role.
When I recently found myself needing an extremely versatile “grab and go” combo it was only
appropriate that I put my money where my mouth is. I needed to be able to grab the amp in one
hand, my guitar case in the other, and be ready to go. With both back and heart problems it was
important that the amp not weigh as much as a subcompact car. For example, the new Vox
AC30CC2X 2X12 combo is a good amp and fairly versatile, but at seventy-seven pounds there is
no way I should be lifting it in and out of the SUV and lugging it up and down stairs!
After a lot of research I finally settled on the Vox AD60VTX “Valvetronix” amp about a month
ago. The AD60VTX and AD120VTX (stereo) amps and their VTH (head) siblings are handsome,
solid amps; unlike the other amps in the Valvetronix series that seem to be an attempt to
epitomize the “cheap solid-state look.” Of course, with a price tag more than double that of an
AD50VT, the AD60VTX had better have beauty that goes more than skin deep! The VTX amps
earn their lofty (compared to other Valvetronix amps) price with several design and construction
differences that, in my opinion, take the Valvetronix line from the ranks of entry-level “make do”
amps to the realm of professional gig-worthy equipment.
I haven’t spent much time using the high-gain models of this amplifier because, frankly, I haven’t
spent enough time with real examples of those amps to make a meaningful comparison. I’m just
not a high-gain kind of guy. In fact, I usually end up substituting at least one 12AT7 for a 12AX7
in my tube amps to lower gain and give me a wider sweet spot. I have spent a lot of time with the
“British 70’s,” “British Blues,” and the “Fenderish” models. When I make general statements
about the fidelity of the modeling it’s experience with those models that I’m basing the remarks
on though I expect that the high-gain models are probably of similar fidelity to the original.
