Vox AD100VT Guitar Amp Price Drop £100 £120 Horwich Bolton

[Hacksawbob]

Collection prefered BL6 6NN. I can deliver for fuel money within reason.

I bought this as a non working amp and I have repaired it. There was a small area of corrosion on the input stage  possibly from liquid, I have cleaned it up and retouched the solder and the amp now works perfectly. I fix laptops in my day job so working on something big like this is a doddle, I also gave all the pots and input jacks a good clean out with servisol so they are crackle free now.  I replaced the fan with a new one as the original was badly repaired.

I checked all the inputs and outputs are all working as they should be, although I don't have a footswitch so I am unable to check that.

 

It's a very loud amp when at full throttle, but there is an attenuator dial on the back which enables the gain stage and effects to be fully engaged but output is reduced for home use. Some very useful amp simulators and effects, see the blurb from Vox at the end for their description. Any test welcome, I'll warn the neighbours first!

Please see pictures for condition, there are some marks on the covering, The centre handle is missing but to be honest unless you are Geoff Capes I'd say this is a two handle carry and the outer two hadles are in good condition, replacements are about £7. (it doesn't stink of fags by the way)

 

Blurb from Vox:-

The VOX AD100VT packs the amazingly versatile tube sound of Valvetronix into a funky 100 W 2X12 Combo.

The VOX AD100VT features the patented VOX Valve Reactor circuit that uses a 12AX7 triode vacuum tube together with an actual low-wattage tube power amp circuit, a virtual output transformer and a dummy speaker circuit that simulates the impedance changes of a real speaker. It also reconfigures itself so that its characteristics are the same as the amps it’s modeling (class A, class AB, negative feedback circuit, etc.).

A total of eleven coveted amp types are provided. Starting with the classic AC30 and ranging from vintage to modern, higain to clean, a variety of amp models are built-in, giving you an incredible range of sound-creating potential.

Nine standard effects indispensable for any guitarist are built-in. These include auto wah, compressor, phaser, chorus, flanger, tremolo, rotary, delay and reverb. With the addition of combination-type effects, you have a total of eleven effects to choose from.

The Vox AD100VT lets you adjust the output wattage from 1~100W so you can lower the volume without losing the sense of drive that’s unique to tube amps. You can get the great distinctive tube sound at a volume that’s appropriate for any location.
