Amp models
Here we will explain the twenty-two amp models that were specially selected for the
Valvetronix amp from numerous great-sounding amps. Much time was spent on
selecting the amps to be modeled, and there were repeated consultations between
staff members, much advice obtained from pro musicians and guitar specialists, and
countless hours of listening and auditioning. The amps we ended up selecting are
the best of the best, and cover a broad range of sounds from pristine clean to incred-
ibly overdriven.
Bank A
A-1: BOUTIQUE CL
This models the clean channel of a high-quality amp that was produced only on
special order, and was known as the overdrive special. With a beautifully rounded
low range, a sharp mid-range attack, and a sweet treble register, this is ideal for
single coil pickups.
A-2: DELUXE TWEED
This American-made 1x12" hand-wired tube combo amp is one of the most loved
club/studio amps in history. Its 12W of warm sound that responded sensitively to
the player’s touch was projected from a tweed-covered cabinet made of solid pine.
A-3: SUPER 4X10
This American-made combo amp containing four 10" speakers was produced from
1963–1968, and noted for its big clean sound and its warm, husky sound when driven.
A-4: AC15TB
This is a modern amp that combines the ideally sweet tone of the AC15’s low-output
power amp with the highly-flexible tones of the AC30’s top boost channel.
A-5: AC30HH
The AC30HH is a hand-wired all-tube amp head sold to commemorate VOX’s fifti-
eth anniversary. This amp has no rival in its ability to create sparkling chime-like
clean sounds and creamy warm overdrive sounds.
A-6: EXPRESS TRAIN
This models a wood-finished 30W boutique amp head that cost more than $25,000. It
delivers sparkling glassy clean tones, and raising the gain will produce overdrive
sounds that are startlingly sweet in a musical way.
