FEATURES
•
The AD15VT, AD30VT, AD50VT and AD100VT use Valve Reactor technology, and
feature a power amp circuit containing a 12AX7 (ECC83) dual triode valve (“vacuum
tube”) that would normally be used in a preamp. This allows the amp to produce the
true sound and feel of a bona fide all valve (tube) amp.
•
Sophisticated modeling technology is used to provide eleven different amps. They
range from classic vintage amps of the past to current expensive high-end valve
amps, and are accessible at the turn of a knob.
•
Eleven high-quality effects are built in and seven are multi effects that let you use two
effects simultaneously plus Noise Reduction.
•
You can store your favorite amp and effect settings as a program, which contain two dif-
ferent settings (CH1 and CH2). You can switch between these settings from the top
panel, or by using the optional VFS2 foot switch connected to the rear panel (Channel
Select mode). In addition, there’s one preset program for each amp type (Preset mode).
•
In Manual mode the sound you hear will reflect the physical settings of the knobs.
•
If you connect the optional VFS2 dual foot switch (sold separately*), you can use it to
switch programs or bypass effects.
•
The power level control (The AD15VT doesn’t have this feature.) lets you adjust the
output wattage of the power amp. This means that even when the master volume is
turned up to the max to drive the Valve Reactor power amp, you can adjust the volume
without losing any tone.
•
The external speaker out jack (AD50VT/AD100VT only) lets you connect a guitar
speaker cabinet (8 ohm) of your choice.
•
The effect send/return jacks (AD100VT only) allow you to connect your external effect
processor in a loop connection.
