Manufacturer's description

The AD120VTH stereo 120 watt head brings together classic VOX tone with the versatility of a preamp section utilizing Korg's REMS (Resonant structure and Electronic circuit Modeling System). The new AD60VTH amplifier head offers all of the critically sounds and operation of the combos, including the Valve Reactor power amp section that recreates classic tube power amp response.

Valve Reactor does this by changing parameters, including class of operation (class A or A/B) and negative feedback settings, for each modeled amp. This patented design utilizes a tube power amp with an output transformer electronically coupled to a solid-state power circuit in such a way that the relationship between the output tubes, output transformer, and speakers is unaltered. A new improved Valve Reactor power amp makes it possible for the AD120VTH to provide full power at any impedance setting - 4, 8, or 16 Ohms.

Complementing the new AD120VTH are the 2 x 12" and 4 x 12" speaker cabinets featuring Baltic birch construction and newly designed custom-voiced Celestion speakers, dubbed "Neo-Dogs." The new speakers were designed specifically for VOX, and utilize highly efficient, ultra-lightweight Neodymium magnets. Both the AD212 and AD412 are capable of operating at 4 and 16 Ohms mono, as well as 8 Ohms stereo for optimum flexibility.

In order to create an amplifier that accurately replicates the sound and feel of 16 of the most sought after amplifiers available, VOX combined their own time-tested amp design with Korg's ToneWorks effects expertise. The Valvetronix series includes programmable effects (21 effects plus noise reduction, 32 programs), a built-in Korg auto-chromatic tuner, and an effects loop.

The new Valvetronix heads and cabinets include all of the features of the original combo series, plus more. The new heads and cabinets feature traditional VOX styling with series-distinctive deep blue grillcloth and gold piping, and the heads have been crafted in the classic VOX trapezoid shape.
