Best practice amp ever: the Vox VT20X! 

I have the VT40x. It is pretty awesome. For all the people that rave about the Boss Katana, I tend to prefer this amp over that.

Thank you for showing me the full capacity of this wonderful practice Amp VTX20.A friend of mine Randy cloud bought me the amp from the USA and until your tutorial i have looked upon it negatively without realizing it is a real deal. Now i love it a knew thanks to you and God bless you lots.

You actually explained the amp more clearly than a lot of the pros. Good job! 😁

Thanks for this - its always difficult to get an impression of the sound in the room esp. over RU-vid. BUT you are another user whose videos Ive seen that really rates the VT-X line. Ive been looking at a few VT40Xs locally so I appreciate your review, thanks.

I’ve had this amp for a year and i never learned how the presets were used i just plug in my pedals. Thanks for this!

Great demo, thanks. I am sold.

Thank you, sir, for your review! 🙏🔥

Just scored one for $105 on Ebay! Very stoked! It looks like 'a "medium" size, like champ size. I've been playing a 50 year old Kustom, and they are clean sounding like Vox is. They use great speakers too. Trying to juxtapose speakers. The pathfinder would have been perfect in my high school bedroom. This handy dandy computer flowchart Valvetronix nu-tube stuff with modeling and a headphone jack was inconceivable for young players in the 80's. Looks doable though, thanks for the demo.

Well, I just bought one of these VT20X used for a great price. I already own a Boss Katana 100 MKII, a Fender Mustang 4 and a Fender GT40. Very cool little practice amp. It has some features that are very usable. I highly recommend just for the great software!

I have a Mustang GTX 100… which to be honest is almost overwhelming - but awesome. I just throw an iPad or my iPhone on top and edit live… I’m excessive in every hobby. I had a acoustic guitar for years because I wanted to play (both my brothers are natural musicians.. I wrote lyrics and ran project studios but never picked up a guitar). Finally started teaching myself about 35 days ago (I practice 2-4hrs a day, whenever I’m not working.. no kids yet). I can play the full versions of 20-30 songs perfectly and am feeling comfortable, so I bought the PRS SE McCarty 524 SC that just came. I bought the mustang a month and a half ago, hoping I could use it with acoustic, then electric when I moved on to electric.. it worked but didn’t love the GTX for acoustic, so I bought a Fishman loudbox artist, voiceprint di and built a full acoustic pedal board after Quickly realizing I needed a dedicated acoustic… TLDR: this seems like a perfect modeler amp for both practice and beginners. Sounds phenomenal and it’s flexible without being overwhelming. Last night I spent 2hrs researching trying to figure out how to create the right preset on GTX100 to just learn the electric vs of Pearl Jam - Last Kiss 😅, and general PJ tone for their songs (please God if someone knows message me)… mainly switching to electric now to play the music i grew up with and love: Pearl Jam/Nirvana/Metallica/GnR/Bush/all 90s alt/etc. You def just sold this amp to me. I’m just trying to figure out if I should get the VT20X/40X/100X… is there a dif in features between the sizes like the GTX, or is the dif purely volume?

I've had this amp like 3 years and never knew you could do this lmfao

Thank you very much for your fine demo. And special thanks for carefully explaining the ‘user presets’, ‘channels’, ‘banks’, etc. Now I finally get it. :-D

I have 2 older 15w chromes. You can FEEL the tone. One evrn survived being completely underwater for 2 days. No bs.

I use one traveling through 110v and 220v countries, because it is one of the few small amps that I can carry with me that's an all in one solution for practice and small room gigs that runs off of both 110v and 220v power. 50/60hz power variance doesn't seem to bother it. Also, recently I played an outdoor gig, and didn't have time to get another set-up, so we placed a mic at the front, and it was monstrous! It's a good practice amp for clean and slightly crunchy tones, that sings better with the power knob maxed. It's small, so it will not compete with a drum set, nor push a lot of bass, but if you set it to sing into a mic, you can gig with it - but I'd say it's best with non-distortion tones.

I have the vt40x, I've own many amps and this is by far a great amp. I suspect that the valve in the preamp stage dors some of the magic. Other transistor amps just sound weak and unrealistic

I have the previous gen VT30. Fantastic little amps.

I am a total beginner. This model was recommended to me but it is still very confusing for me to use. Thanks for explaining. Will definitely get the vox tone room program.

Great review. I feel I can trust you with that Cure shirt. Subscribed!

Thanks mann!

Where did you find the list of songs for the presets? I had one of these briefly but sold it. Just picked up a used one because the sound is great.

The lack of FX loop and the 5 ohms speaker are the main issue with this one. It would be awesome In a studio situation otherwise.

Sold! Not bad

Why is the power source 12v dc requiring the special chord that converts 110 to dc ?

Where did you get the list of songs per preset? Is it included in the box?

I need help with this amp. Idk how to get that 80s soloing sound or clean beautiful reverb/chorus

When you’re using the Boutique OD @ first what song is that?

The difference in sound between vt40x and this amp is huge...

How would this compare to the Fender Champion 20?

Acoustic??

I bought this amp in the Facebook market. A guy was selling it because he was moving I bought it for $80. Was that a good purchase?

Anderton's just did a shootout and this amp won best in class.

will the app run on a PC or Android Tablet?

I've been really frustrated with this amp - bought a demo from my local music store but came with no instructions and I can't seem to find a good tutorial showing me how to use the tone room software. Vox's website doesn't even offer a owner's manual I can download??? If anyone can point me in the right direction, I would really appreciate it!!! - Cheers!

How did you record this Amp?

That amplifier sounds like crap, sounds too fuzzy.

I know, to each their own… but modeling amps like these IMO are a waste of time.
