Vox Valvetronix Electric Guitar Amp now separate heads and cabs
The new, recently expanded Vox Valvetronix range now including separate heads and cabs.
When Vox set out to create Valvetronix, the goal was clear - design a digital modeling amp that sounded and felt great. A versatile amp that could superbly re-create every detail, every nuance of a collection of the world's most sought after guitar amplifiers. An amp that actually lives up to the promise that digital modeling amplifiers appear to offer, but have never achieved - until now.
THE BEST OF ALL WORLDS Vox realised that reaching this goal wouldn't be easy. That it would require top-notch digital technology plus a valve power amp capable of modeling the power amp sections of a ton of classic and modern valve amplifiers. In over four tone-filled decades, VOX amplifiers have achieved classic, even cult, status. They're the amps of choice for countless pros. But vox knew it would take more than our own guitar amplification expertise. Vox also needed the skill and experience of a high-tech music equipment innovator. From this need, the collaboration between VOX and Korg was born.
Korg is the undisputed leader in the technology-laden world of digital music workstations and the force behind ToneWorks, the first company to master and patent "digital distortion with oversampling," a breakthrough that made high-quality digital recreations of guitar effects and amplifiers (that sounded and felt like the real thing) a reality. Together they created Valvetronix - the ultimate, hybrid digital modeling amplifier that sounds, feels and operates like a guitar amp, with no compromises or excuses.
THE FRONT END, WHERE IT ALL STARTS The preamp sections of the Valvetronix combos rely on Korg's proprietary REMS technology. REMS (Resonant structure and Electronic circuit Modeling System) accurately reproduces the complex circuitry in each of the modeled amplifier's signal paths and re-creates the tonality originally created in those amps. It even replicates their unique tone-stack networks so the Valvetronix' tone controls interact exactly as they do in the amplifiers being modeled! Play any one of the Valvetronix range and you'll hear and feel the difference immediately.
In the Valve Reactor power amplifier, a 12AX7 dual-triode valve (12AX7s are typically used as preamp valves) is connected directly to an output transformer. Our amp designers had to develop a way to raise the output level to one which could actually drive speakers to stage volume levels while maintaining the integrity of the valve-amp sound and feel. Vox accomplished this by creating a circuit of proprietary design dubbed the VOX VariAmp Power Circuit. The output transformer is connected to this new VariAmp Power Circuit which uses Constant Current design and Reactive Feedback technology.
The VariAmp Power Circuit cannot be overdriven, is totally transparent and can be configured to be 1, 15, 30 or 60 Watts. The VariAmp Power Circuit does not color or change the signal in any way and the resulting output tone is pure. It also ensures that the output signal maintains the high dynamic range associated with traditional valve amps- something most solid-state amplifiers simply cannot deliver, and one of the primary reasons why valve guitar amps normally sound and feel so much louder and more alive than solid-state amps boasting the same output power rating.
The Reactive Feedback technology used in the VariAmp Circuit "reads" the impedance curve of the speaker and then reports this reactive information back to the secondary side of the output transformer. This information is fed back to the primary side of the output transformer and therefore changes the loading on the valves, another important part of the vital role an all-valve power amp plays in the creation of traditional valve tone.
