Vox VT20X

This is probably one of the most underrated modelling amp.
Sound is very good, it sounds bigger than its 8 inch speaker, all the effects are OK and you do not really need much more for home playing.
Design-wise - it keeps the Vox pedigree, looks quite classy and can even qualify to a legit living room accessory in your partner's eyes (unlike say Boss Katana) :-)...

Only slight critique would be the Toneroom app, which works fine, but by today's standards looks little dated, especially compared to say Positive Grid Spark app, which is probably not super fair comparison, since PG are software makers in the first place.

Great things can come in small packages, and this VOX Valvetronix VT 20X is just that. Plenty of power at 20 watts to rattle the windows in a smaller venue, or light up your neighborhood with your garage rehearsals. Attractive styling and durable grill cover. Easy intuitive operation with all the amp models you'd ever want whether you're playing clean rhythm guitar or doing lots of lead work with heavy distortion. Here's the best part for me. It's small size fits in anywhere (it's a little larger than my toaster....no kiddin'), and lighter in weight than my bowling ball. I just walk in, set it down, plug my ESP LTD deluxe ec-1000 fm amber sunburst into it (1/4" jack input) plug in the foot pedal you can buy for it for switching through channels, push the ON button, and start cranking out the music! That simple! I love it! And the price is super right. In the context of equipment prices this amp is cheap to keep....inexpensive. You're really going to be surprised how good this little guy sounds

I liked everything! There are many sound possibilities if you don't want to buy pedals separately for some reason (I couldn't) Vox makes great stuff. You can figure it out in 2-3 days if you watched the review earlier. Simply the best amplifier for its money. I was deciding to take either a Katana or a Marshall with Vox.. but I don't regret that I bought this one! The only thing is, when you play, it seems like he is somewhere far away, some people might not like it, but that’s exactly the effect I need! If you record without a professional microphone (phone speaker) it will seem as if you are listening to an audio recording from a concert in the 70s (in a good way) I recommend it!

The buying / delivery process :
Everything was fine, the thomann service for buying online is helpful and easily understandable, and the amp arrived at my house in Switzerland in just 3 days.

The amp itself :
I LOVE this amp. I replaced my old VT20+ with this VT20X, and I am in love with it. The amp is great for small players, practice sessions or playing some gigs with friends, but nothing more. If you wanna play it in a proper band I would recommend either going for the 100 watt version, or sticking with a tube head + cabinet solution, as you will need to crank this VT20X all the way up (and therefore distort the sound or even damage the amp) to be able to keep up volume-wise.
It is a modelling amp, so the sound goes into a real valve/tube preamp that then goes into a computer that will ''model'' the sound. Therefore you will have a very versatile amplifier with loads of tone and many many settings to choose from --> perfect for a bedroom player : no need to buy pedals, effects and such, as they're all built into the amp. (I_wish_thomann_let_me_write_more_than_200_words. 1_small_complaint_:_the_power_cable_is_really_flimsy_and_bad_quality...expected_more_from_Vox.) 9/10

I chose this amp based on online reviews. Very clear settings, many presets make the amplifier convenient for a beginner or for an amateur who will play at home and in small spaces. A month later I bought an additional pedal. The preamp tube makes the sound warm and high quality. This is certainly not the quality that professional musicians need, but for amateurs it is what you need. It is convenient to use the Tone room app through the phone Of the shortcomings: The firmware is not updated and not all effects are present. It is a pity that there is no built-in looper. I am very glad that I found this amplifier and I am not going to change it yet!

I am completely satisfied with this combo, although there is nothing to compare it to.
In my opinion, it has everything a beginning guitarist needs: good quality sound and quite a lot of built-in effects that can be mixed as you like. You just need to download Valvetronix Tone Room software to your computer and sound customization becomes even more flexible and interesting.
There are many built-in presets, or you can create your own.
It makes no sense to describe the details of this combo in detail, since it was released a long time ago and there are already many videos about it on the Internet.
