VOX AD XL Series
High-gain Power!
AD15VT-XL AD30VT-XL AD50VT-XL AD100VT-XL
VOX Valvetronix XL line is an exciting new
range of tube-powered modelling amplifiers
that delivers the power and punch that modern
rock players require, with a selection of hi-gain
sounds that span the entire range of heavy
rock music.
Starting with a wealth of great amp models
from the acclaimed “VT” or “Chrome” series,
these sounds have been modified for the hi-gain
player. The VOX engineering team practically
threw out the rule book in voicing the new
XL range, modding EQs, hot-rodding gain levels,
and even switching the model of a historically
Class AB hi-gain head to Class A. The result
is an amplifier range that delivers VOX’s
hottest hard rock and metal sounds to date,
while not forgetting the professional features
of the original AD VT series.
Valve Reactor technology
The XL-series uses VOX’s patented Valve
Reactor technology, featuring a power amp circuit
that contains a 12AX7 (ECC83) dual triode vacuum
tube (valve), normally used in a preamp, and
a dummy speaker circuit that simulates the
varying impedance of a real speaker. This produces
the true sound and feel of a bonafide all-tube
amp.
Eleven amp sounds
Sophisticated modelling technology is used
to provide eleven different amps including
classic vintage amps, modern high-end amps
and high-gain hybrids, all accessible at
the turn of a knob. These new models are:
Glass modelled on the clean channel of a collectable
100-Watt head named the Overdrive Special
Funked modeled on a classic American black-faced
2x12 combo
Buzzsaw inspired by the British-made 50-Watt head
that created the sounds of ‘70s
hard rock and metal
Crunched based on a very rare modified VOX
AC30/6TBX Top Boost combo, adding new hot-rodded
gain levels and EQ
Thrashed modelled on a 1983, all tube, single
channel, master volume 100-Watt head
Raged based on the high gain channel of a
modern, all-tube 100 Watter, with boosted bass
and mid frequencies and even more gain
Modern a still higher gain modification to the “Modern High Gain” channel,
with scooped EQ “Fluid” - the UK
Modern setting with maximum gain and mid-range
EQ, modified to emphasize a vocal-like tone
for legato-style playing
Molten based on VOX’s US Hi-Gain model
but capable of even more powerful, heavily
saturated sounds, with an Octave effect mixed
into the preset
Black a version of the UK Modern mutated to
Class A, rather than Class AB
Damaged rooted in VOX’s US Hi-Gain model
with more gain and a completely re-voiced and
modified EQ to be thicker and darker.
Eleven high-quality effects
These effects built-in to the amp and are again
accessible at the turn of a knob: compressor,
delay, reverb, compressor & chorus, compressor & phaser,
chorus & delay, chorus & reverb,
flanger & reverb, tremolo & reverb,
and rotary & reverb, plus Noise Reduction.
New for the XL series is an Octave effect
for massive lead tones. Effect parameters
are fully adjustable and a Tap button makes
it easy to set your delay time or modulation
speed.
Store amp and effect settings
Store your favourite amp and effect settings
as a program, containing two different settings
(CH1 and CH2). Switch between these settings
from the top panel, or by using the optional
VFS2 foot switch connected to the rear panel.
In addition, there is a preset program for
each amp type.
Manual mode
In Manual mode the sound you hear reflects
the physical settings of the knobs. You’re
in control. Connect an optional VFS2 dual
foot switch (sold separately) to switch programs
or bypass effects.
Adjustable output wattage
A power level control (not available on AD15VT-XL)
adjusts the output wattage of the power amp.
This means that even when the master volume
is turned up all the way to drive the Valve
Reactor power amp, you can adjust the volume
without losing any tone.
