Introduction
Welcome!
Thank you for purchasing the VOX VT15 or VT30 Valvetronix amp.
To help you get the most out of your new amplifire, please read this manual care-
fully.
Get ready to enjoy the VT15/30’s amazing guitar sounds!
Main features
❒The VT15 and VT30 use Valve Reactor technology, and feature a power amp circuit
containing a 12AX7 (ECC83) dual triode valve (“vacuum tube”) that would nor-
mally be used in a preamp. This allows the amp to produce the true sound and feel
of a bona fide all valve (tube) amp.
❒Sophisticated modeling technology is used to provide twenty-two different amps.
❒Twelve high-quality effects are built-in. Of these, reverb is available at all times, and
three of the remaining eleven effects are “multiple effects” that allow you to use up
to three effects simultaneously. Noise reduction can also be used simultaneously.
❒You can create a sound using the desired amp and effect, and save it in memory as
one of eight programs (two banks x four channels). Programs can be switched while
you perform, either from the top panel or from a foot switch connected to the rear
panel (Channel Select mode). For each amp model, three preset programs – Basic
Effected, and Song – are provided, giving you a total of 66 programs (Preset mode).
The song programs reproduce the tones of classic hits played by famous guitarists.
❒Manual mode lets you use the VT15/30 as a conventional guitar amp. The physical
positions of the actual knobs will be reflected by the sound.
❒An optional VOX VFS5 foot switch (sold separately) can be connected, allowing you
to switch programs or turn effects on/off with your feet.
❒The power level control lets you adjust the output wattage of the power amp. Even
with the master volume set to the maximum so that the Valve Reactor power amp is
loaded, you’ll still be able to adjust the volume without impairing the tonal charac-
ter.
