Well I see a lot of Vox amp clubs but I don't see one for the VT30. And since I just bought one I decided to start the club. I'm sure there are more of them out there. Its a great little amp.

Here is my VT30 along with my '73 Tele.

kappa2583 · December 1st, 2009, 02:32 PM

Count me in! What a fun amp!

I love the attenuator. I don't have a camera at the moment so I can't post a picture, even though it looks just like the one jkingma has!

jefrs · December 1st, 2009, 02:58 PM

This will have to include the other Vox Valvetronix like the AD30 since they're the same thing.

Vox Valvetronix, the modelling amp you can gig.

Kestrel · December 10th, 2009, 01:19 PM

The VT30 is a great practice amp. Count me in.

mattyj · December 13th, 2009, 06:38 AM

I don't have any photos of mine, but I love it.

I'm using the AC30 Top Boost tone mainly. I love the phaser, tremolo and delay (set to slapback) effects.

G McBride · December 13th, 2009, 08:02 AM

I have one of these and it is a great little amp. I keep mine cranked up and adjust the volume with the output knob on the back of the amp.

Rattlecan Black · December 13th, 2009, 08:28 AM

I have had the AD30VT for about three years and have been really happy with it. It's my main practice amp. I mostly use the Black 2X12 with a little reverb with any other effects coming from my pedalboard. The only models I don't use much are the high gain ones. I also sprayed the chrome grill a nice shade of flat black.

Olympus · December 14th, 2009, 07:30 PM

I've had mine for for a few months now. I am super pleased with it. It an excellent home amp. I might even be a little bit big for home amp. At least mine will get louder than I can handle it in the basement. This is my first Vox amp, but I don't think it will be my last.

sotob · December 22nd, 2009, 10:22 AM

Got mine in October! The headphone jack really comes in handy while everyone is sleeping.

Fearnot · January 20th, 2010, 02:33 PM

I looove my AD30. Sometimes I underestimate it... till I turn it on again. I use the AC15 setting mostly (it figures that Vox's best modelling would be their own, right?), but use the AC30TB for humbucker guitars. Oh, and I didn't care for the 'Black 2x12' model at first, with a little due diligence, I finally found a pretty sweet setting for that. Waaay too much fun for $230.

I only wish it had a 12" speaker. If I ever need to gig with it, I'll probably try to find the bigger 50w version, just to move more air.

longbow · January 22nd, 2010, 03:48 PM

I just picked one up. So the top panel how do you just run that? Can you run just the top panel and use the effects on the bottom panel? What is a good speaker upgrade? thanks

longbow · January 23rd, 2010, 10:46 AM

Dropping out of the VT30 club and dropping into the VT50 club! Yep just took the 30 back and ponied a few more dollars, well mucho more actually and am now in the VT50 club. that's it.

rp1138 · January 25th, 2010, 11:33 PM

I bought an AD30 when they first came out, and I still love it. I love the AC-15 and the Tweed 4x10 models.
Has anyone tried gigging with the 30? I would think it's too small, but it can get pretty loud, too.

longbow · February 14th, 2010, 03:24 PM

Ok I back in the VT30 club. Don't ask cause it is a long story but suffice to say I am a happy camper again, and I still the say the 30 is a bit better than the 50. thanks

kappa2583 · February 15th, 2010, 09:23 AM

welcome back! We won't hold it against you ;)

longbow · February 15th, 2010, 10:55 AM

Is it possible to put a 12" speaker in it? Has anybody done this? thanks

Fearnot · February 17th, 2010, 10:03 PM

This is a really helpful explanation why the chrome VTs may seem tinny and thin at stage volumes. A must read: How to Get Great Tone from Valvetronix at Gigging Volume

Useful forum too.

Supernova87 · February 18th, 2010, 02:09 PM

I've got no idea if there's a seperate VT50 thread, nor can I see the point in starting one anyway, so here goes...

It's not bad for the money really. Once you get used to the plethora of knobs and switches, it's quite a fun little amp. Looks the business as well.

RiverDog · February 21st, 2010, 01:43 AM

I just got mine today. Really digging it!

tonyw · February 21st, 2010, 03:18 AM
