Manufacturer's description
The AD100VTH 100-Watt head and V412BK 4x12 cabinet are the newest additions to the VOX Valvetronix AD Series. This half-stack delivers bone-crushing volume and true tube tone in a bold, no nonsense package.
The AD100VTH and V412BK features:
* VOX's patented Valve Reactor power amplifier for genuine tube sound and feel.
* 11 ultra-realistic models of the world's coolest guitar amps. Choose from an array of classic and modern U.S.A. and British amplifiers.
* 11 great sounding digital effects: auto-wah, compressor, delay, reverb, compressor & phaser, compressor & chorus, chorus & delay, chorus & reverb, flanger & reverb, tremolo & reverb and rotary & reverb.
* An adjustable power-amp output control so you can lower the volume without losing drive, tone or feel.
* 4 specially voiced, custom designed 12" VOX speakers in a road worthy closed-back cabinet for maximum tone and projection.
This newest head and cabinet from VOX delivers an incredible range of sounds. Everything you want is right here, whether your thing is clean twang, raunchy blues, aggressive crunch or insane metal. We've modeled a collection of the most awesome amps, from vintage to modern, ultra hi-gain to ultra-rare boutique models.
The AD100VTH head and V412BK cabinet not only look and sound great, they are designed to be guitarist-friendly and easy to use. No complicated programming or editing is required. Up to two user programs can be saved. Manual mode lets you hear your exact control panel settings . Editing is quick, intuitive and knob-based. And you can instantly switch between three completely different settings with the optional VFS2 footswitch.
With four 30Watt/8 Ohm speakers, the V412BK cab is a perfect match for the AD100VTH 100-Watt head. And with its sturdy construction, rugged good looks and high, sound pressure level capabilities, it's also an ideal choice for teaming up with any other tube, solid-state or hybrid head.

Pros
Amp models are even more three-dimensional through the bigger cabinet. It still sounds more authentic than the competition at this price.
Cons
No footswitch included. More user patches would be nice.
Verdict
A versatile, powerful half stack that will sound dynamic and authentic whether competing with a drummer in a dingy practice room or sitting in the your bedroom with headphones at 4am.
