Vox VT40x Sound Check
I created this video to try and demonstrate all the various guitar amp tones you can create from the Vox VT40x. This is a great little amp!
If you are looking for a portable practice amp, or small stage amp with a lot of versatility, you might want to consider the Vox VT40x.

I became a bit uninspired by my VOX VT20X today, and entertained the idea to sell it, but your video somehow came onto my feed and it changed my mind. I recently just sold my Blackstar Silverline Special 50 because I couldn't find a tone I liked, even with pedals..I kinda regret it, but at the same time that thing was heavy as hell. But I just couldn't find a tone I liked on it, but my VT20X has amazing tones on it because of that little preamp tube, but I probably just had a sucky day lol.. Anyways, awesome video sample!

    Great video. It is my first amp as I have alwayy played just classic guitar but recently bought acustic electric guitar in charity shop and wanted to try it out. One thing that confused me a bit is that the top E string sometimes seem to be not amplified as much as for example A string. Is it due to amp settings or guitar pick up most likely?

    • @krobibero
      @krobibero 10 місяців тому

      Excellent! Out of curiosity, what guitar did you get? I don't believe it's the amp. A few things come to mind that might cause this. First, I would check string height or "action". Typically, the action falls within a range of 1.5-2.0 millimeters (or 0.06-0.08 inches) at the 12th fret for an electric guitar. It could also be the pickup is too far from the top E string. Most guitar pickups can be adjusted a little up and down on each side which can make a big difference. If you are not familiar with adjusting your guitar, you can have someone do a setup of the guitar which can make it much better. Lastly, when was the last time you changed the strings? Really old or cheap strings can make your guitar sound awful, and you'll not know until after you put new strings on.

      From what I know about Gary's tone (via the Internet), you need a Marshall tone with some overdrive or distortion. I'd probably start with the Brit 800 and add the overdrive in front of it. You'll have to dial the gain the amp vs the overdrive to find what you are looking for. Also see this video ua-cam.com/video/O7_-Q9Jvars/v-deo.htmlsi=dI-0-LpVLkpRjAIo

    • @krobibero
      @krobibero Рік тому

      I no longer have this amp to test some of the settings myself, however you should start with a low gain, warm, clean amp preset and go from there. The first few amp models are low gain. You may still need to back off the gain a bit to get the sound you want. I believe that jazz is typical played with compressed sounds so add some compression and also some reverb. You'll also need to adjust the eq to ultimately get the warmth you are looking for. Someone created the chart the helps explain what each of the amps and pedals emulate. You might want to check this out too. www.dropbox.com/s/o2nnaxsq6agccln/VOX%20VTX%20Tone%20Room.pdf?dl=0 Hope this helps.

      I hadn't noticed the hiss until you left this comment. I'm sure it was my mic setup because I don't own any professional recording microphones. The mics used were the only things I had available to record this, digital camera mic, laptop and cell phone. I'm sure a Sennheiser or Shure would have produced a much better recording. Each were positioned in different parts of the room to capture the sound uniquely. After recording with all three, I mixed the tracks together using Mixcraft 9 Recording Studio to create what you hear. Also, after I did the recording, I noticed every once in a while a high pitched whine (like at 49 seconds) which I later found out was coming from the digital camera.

    Following up on my initial review from a couple months back. Having driven some number of miles with the Trident Exhaust on my mustang, I am still very happy with the results. The weather finally warmed up enough for me to drop the top and get a sense of how the muffler sound compares to when the top is up. A couple observations to mention, with the top down the amount of drone has decreased greatly inside the car. The drone was most noticeable at highway speeds when in 6th gear and stepping on the peddle just a little. I've gotten used to it but with the top down there is definitely less of it. I think mainly due to the fact that the sound can escape the cabin plus its offset by the awesome sound of the wind rushing past. Second, the harmony of sound under hard acceleration from the 3.7l Cyclone engine only sounds better with the top down. I recently spent the day cruising with some other mustangs, mostly v8's, which had a wide range of exhaust setups. Comparatively speaking I think that my exhaust setup sounds pretty darn good but it's still not a v8! Before buying the Trident exhaust I considered the Borla Touring. Let's just say I am very pleased I bought this exhaust!

I can simulate stick of course using the Sport mode manual shifting which I sometimes do just to hear the growl but the auto without a tune shifts at lower RPM for fuel economy. My first thought is that will the LT and Hiflo H pipe it should sound more throaty. I've considered header myself but haven't pulled the trigger just yet. I'd love to hear your setup when you got it all together.

    I recently got these after seeing your review. I couldn't be happier with them. First the quality is outstanding. The stainless steel is heavy gauge and the finish is flawless. The installation was easy and quick with no alignment problems. The tips came out perfectly centered with no adjustment necessary. The sound is perfect not too loud and no drone at speed. They are very deep and the V6 sounds like a V8 until you get to about 5,000 RPM's then it sounds like some kind of exotic. They are not annoyingly loud, but they will hear you coming. Stomp on it and they are VERY loud and sound great. You get all this for about half the price of the big brand names and you give up nothing. I helped my son put a Roush cat back system on his new 2014 Ford F-150 a couple weeks ago and it's is a very nice system, but the fit and finish are not as nice as the Trident system.

    Bob, that want the other exhaust I was considering for my mustang. I think the Trident might add a little more volume than the Touring but with a lower note than the Borla Stinger S-Type exhaust. I do have a Airaid CAI also, which I bought first and did definitely add more power and throttle response. I believe that the stock exhaust was hindering the CAI's full effect. I'm sure that headers and aftermarket mid-pipe would help greatly as well.

    Nicely done video, etc. Bet the improvements are very noticeable even though stock exhaust was designed for good performance. On my stock '55 Olds 98 the gas mileage went from 13 mph max hwy to 18 mpg just by adding second exhaust and glass pack mufflers. 0-60 time 8 secs with approx. 4,000 lb car. Happy Motoring!!!

      The throttle response is what I notice the most. Not that it was slow, but now at low RPM stepping lightly on the peddle the car takes off, very little hesitation.

      I have the Borla Touring axel-back which sound similar to yours on my 2014 convertible. It couldn't be any nicer to drive now that I have the new mufflers. Have you heard anything about the Cold Air Intake which is supposed to add HP and pep?

      Thanks for the info. There is some talk from my brother (also a 2014 convertible owner) and online about the Mustang, Mass Air Sensor getting clogged from oil & debris from the Cold Air Intake. Is the filter unit on the CAI impregnated with oil?
