Vox Review: AD30VT

History:

Purchase: I bought this amp from Nicholson music in Folsom, CA and paid $239.00. Nicholson is my local music supply store and offered the same price as Guitar Center.

What I Like About This Vox AD30VT: Since I could only afford one amplifier I looked at all available 30 watt amps. I was looking for warm tone with some decent effects. Once I was turned on to the Vox AD30VT I was pleasantly surprised by the warmth of the amp and its features. It models eleven amps in both preset and manual mode. Therefore one can modify any attribute of the setup. There are eleven effects - seven are combinations. The guitarist can adjust the "amount" of effect with a knob. There is also a noise reduction setting the guitarist can adjust when playing a single coil pickup or using high gain.

What I Do NOT Like About The Vox AD30VT: I would prefer to have each of the effects independent of one another. That way I could invoke each one singly or in any combination I choose.

Vox AD30VT Quality Rating: Very solid unit. It has a metal grate front one would think would rattle but it doesn't.

Review Summary: Cool amp. It requires reading the manual (really!) but it is simple to operate. I'd buy it again.

Rating of this Vox product: 5
