22、tronix amp. To help you get the most out of your new amplifire, please read this manual carefully. Get ready to enjoy the VT-series amazing guitar sounds! Main features The VT-series use Valve Reactor technology, and feature a power amp circuit con- taining a 12AX7 (ECC83) dual triode valve (“vacuum

23、 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 twenty-two different amps. Twelve high-quality effects are built-in. Of these, reverb is available at all

24、times, and three of the remaining eleven effects are “multiple effects” that allow you to use up to three effects simultaneously. Noise reduction can also be used simultaneously. You can create a sound using the desired amp and effect, and save it in memory as one of eight programs (two banks x four

25、 channels). Programs can be switched while you perform, either from the top panel or from a foot switch connected to the rear panel (Channel Select mode). For each amp model, three preset programs Basic Effected, and Song are provided, giving you a total of 66 programs (Preset mode). The song progra

26、ms reproduce the tones of classic hits played by famous guitarists. Manual mode lets you use the VT-series as a conventional guitar amp. The physical positions of the actual knobs will be reflected by the sound. An optional VOX VFS5 foot switch (sold separately) can be connected, allowing you to swi

27、tch programs or turn effects on/off with your feet. The power level control lets you adjust the output wattage of the power amp. Even with the master volume set to the maximum so that the Valve Reactor power amp is loaded, youll still be able to adjust the volume without impairing the tonal characte

28、r. The external speaker out jack (VT50/VT100 only) lets you connect a guitar speaker cabinet (8 ohm) of your choice. The effect send/return jacks (VT100 only) allow you to connect your external effect processor in a loop connection. 5 Signal path Your guitar sound passes through the following sectio

30、 Valve Reactor technology? The Valve Reactor circuit used in the power amp of this VT15/30/50/100 combo amp is based on new technology. Most of the sound creation and tonal shaping is performed in the digital domain, but the Valve Reactor power amp is 100% analog. Passing the guitar signal through t

31、he analog-domain power amp stage is an important factor in capturing the feel and tone of the original amp for that model. Valve Reactors power stage is a miniature version of a true tube push/pull power amp. It uses a 12AX7 tube (dual triode; in other words, two vacuum tubes in one), and is similar

32、 to a true tube amp with an output transformer. Rather than connecting the vacuum tube directly to a speaker via an output transformer, the signal is converted by a virtual output transformer in which solid stage components emulate the output trans- former, and the final output stage circuit is conn

33、ected to a specially designed VariAmp power circuit. This allows the output of the power stage to be continuously varied from minimum output to maximum output. This VariAmp power circuit is completely transparent i.e., it does not modify the signal so the output tone will be the pure sound of a tube

34、 amp. The wide dynamic range seen in a conventional tube amp is also maintained. This dynamic range is a characteristic that is difficult to obtain from a solid-state amp; this is why a tube amp sounds more powerful than a solid-stage amp of the same output specifications. The output of the Valve Re

35、actor power amp “reads” the constantly changing impedance curve of the connected speaker system, and feeds this information back to the vacuum tube. In response to this information, the operation of the amps tube stage will vary according to the speaker load (impedance). This too is an important ele

36、ment in the sound of a true tube amp. In addition to producing lively tube sound, “circuitry char- acteristics” distinctive of the full-tube power stage in the amp being modeled can also be simulated. These characteristics include class-A, class-AB, and power output. By adjusting these characteristi

37、cs (except for the power output, which the user specifies), every sound of that amp model can be faithfully reproduced. This power amp technol- ogy, for which a U.S. patent has been obtained, is unique to the VOX Valvetronix amps. 6 Quick start This Quick Start section is for those of you who would

38、like to start using your new amp right away. This manual contains information that will help you take full advantage of your Valvetronix amp, so be sure to read the rest of it after youve read the Quick Start section. HINT: Illustrations of the top panel and rear panel are provided in “Top and rear

39、panels” (p.8), so refer to them as you try out your amp. Setup 1.Turn the MASTER volume control on the amp all the way down. 2.Connect the included power cable to the rear panel AC power connector, and plug the other end into an AC outlet. 3.Plug the cable connected to your guitar into the top panel

40、 INPUT jack. 4.Turn on the POWER switch. 5.Slowly raise the MASTER volume to adjust the volume. HINT: The rear panel POWER LEVEL control adjusts the output level of the power amp. This lets you adjust the volume while preserving the dis- tortion of the power amp. NOTE: There may be no sound for seve

41、ral seconds until the vacuum tube warms up. This is not a malfunction. 7 Checking out the preset programs 1.Press the top panel PRESET switch. The PRESET LED will light up(Preset mode). 2.Turn the AMP selector to select an amp model. A preset program for a sound that is typical of each amp model wil

42、l be recalled, and the GAIN, VOLUME, TREBLE, MIDDLE, BASS, and effect settings will switch auto- matically. HINT: The amp models are organized into two banks, each bank contain- ing eleven models (a total of twenty-two). Press the AMP switch to change banks. Each time you press this, the AMP LED will change to green or red, and y
