Vox VT40X – IN DEPTH Review
This Valvetronix amp packs the whole history of amplifiers in a small combo with very little to be desired. It might overwhelm the beginner and most of them will not know what it all means and how to tame this beast, but the presets give you a great starting point.

you can use the headphones aux to connect to an interface.
Compare with Fender Mustang 25, what is your opinion? M thanks
What´s better VoxVT20X or Fender Mustang LT25?
G Dec is awesome….mustang gtx is total garbage…100 percent garbage !!!
It's not a beginner amp ….I think it's a practice amp for any player the sounds in the room …… amazing….sounds like a cranked marshall or singing deluxe R…..
Dude, you sound EXACTLY like Dom that does the Cubase videos.
I like the detail of your reviews. Seems better than the Katana this Vox
This amp won the blindfolded small/practice amp shoot out by Rob Chapman at Andertons in july 2024, 8 years later.
Since I gig when i do gig in a small-ish bar/resteraunt with only two or three other people this is adequate for my gigging purposes ???? I only wish Vox/Korg would put out something like this without all the bells and whistles and just make a affordable hybrid that is not part computer for all us dinosaurs out there who are not tech geeks.
How do you rest it to factory settings
Using actual brand names may involve licensing/royalties that no company wants to get into. I think it is just good business sense to just model that sound and use a relatable name, especially when they need to roll out products quickly in a 2year or 3 year cycle.
Great review and demo as always, sir. I love Vox and its jingle jangle. I own three of its Valvetronix models.
I am not sure which one has better sound mustang LT25 or the Vox VT20X. I'll probably buy both and return one. Sound wise (through headphones) I lean slightly towards vox but the mustang user interface seems more user friendly.
Im sure if Vox had the official names of the modelled amps the cost would be much much more than it is, unless all the manufacturers got together and agreed to use the product names free of charge, of course then they would require to hear the models first before agreeing to their implementation which again would push up the price of the amp.
Thanks for the review, iam new whith this AMP, i have a Question , How you set this amp to sound like jazz?
i paid 249 for my vt100x
It's like a kid in a candy store amplifier, so much fun, sounds ,noise, sometimes it's like a war going on.way too many options. But what a great time I have with this, muddy, clean, world war , just insane sustain. Love mine experimenting. Have no idea what a normal setting is though on this. So back to a regular amp with pedals for not getting carried away. Just think, one girlfriend or hundreds of them , is this amp.
I've owned 3 generations of Valvetronix amps and they never disappointed. Great quality and value for a practice or budget recording amplifier.
Would you say it can compete with Katana and Catalyst in 2023?
These are a decent deal at the new price but you can find a vt40 sometimes used at gc for $60, sometimes $40. A buck a watt and all the effects for free.
Thank you.
Bought my vt40x used.
You have give me control over it.
Great amp, great review.
Immediately after purchase, throw out the speaker! Install an upgrade. Also, I have played this at live gigs by just placing a e609 Microphone in front of the cab. Also, I have used the Vox Tone-room software live using my iPad. The amp will respond in “real time” to your changes.
Great amp and guitar! ???? ????
Can you compare the Fender Super Champ xd with the vox T 20??
I got this amp and for some reason the sound is always so weird. I hate it. The sound of the guitar when you play it dives down, the sound is wavy. Not in a good way, is does this randomly and I tried pressing all the buttons and stuff and it still does it. Heck I played another one at the guitar store and it did the same thing, help
????
Echt einfach megaaaaa ich mag Deine humorvolle direkte, für mich geniale Art. ????????????????ich lerne am Besten wenn ich am grinsen lachen oder sogar am brüllen bin – Beispiel BeatRoom????????????
????????????Danke????????????
Hab den VX40x jetzt bei mir am romröhren- super
viel Spaß und Sound im Herzen

Wonder why they haven't updated this.
I need help with this amp! Has no Manila exhaling each setting or each category and what they do. Wish I could get a quick lesson from this guy. Trying to get good chorus and reverb noises but I can’t for some reason like the older version of this model. I also bought the vox foot pedal and they gave no manual either!
Amazing in depth review, thank you. As a beginner, I wasn't sure which amp to buy. Now I ordered this one and can't wait to play around with all the settings.
can i use this amp on my RIg pedalboard??is it recommendable?
So far the best review of this amp on the net. I just bought one second hand and I think it's????for what it is.
Hi Henning, hope you’re doing great.
The Vox VT40X sounds and looks fantastic (even through my crappy iPad speakers it sounds great).
Few quick questions as I have this one on my list for Christmas.
On the amp panel top right, I see a power knob you can turn from 0 to half to full power. Is this a “stepless” turning knob (the way a volume knob works), I am interested if the area between 0 and half power goes linear increasing the power output, or does it kicks in at half power (otherwise I have to get some donuts, cash and coffee for when the police will appear at my door for playing too loud, with the police I don’t mean The Police????).
The other amp I got my eyes on is the Boss Katana. Around the same price tag. From what I’ve been told (by some review guys on the interweb and this thing called YouTube) the Katana also works well with a pedal board, in case you already got quite a collection of all kinds of pedals you can use your own pedals instead of the gazillion Boss pedals available in the amps’ interface. How does the Vox VT40X copes with external pedals, if possible. I would think a tube based amp is always good to hook on some pedals, but perhaps I am wrong with the Vox?
Esthetically the Vox will look great in our living room, compared to other practice amps. (and my wife likes it)
Looking forward to your response ????
Thanks in advance ????
