Vox VT100X Modeling Amp
Vox · amplifier
The Vox VT100X is a 100-watt Valvetronix modeling combo built around a 12AX7 tube preamp stage combined with Vox's VET (Virtual Element Technology) modeling engine, which emulates individual components of classic amp circuits rather than just their overall output. It's housed in a 1x12 cabinet, delivering 100W RMS at 3 ohms, positioned as the largest model in the VT-series lineup, aimed at rehearsal, band, and gigging guitarists who want a wide range of amp voicings and effects in one portable combo.
What stands out
“Standout strength is the combination of real tube preamp warmth (via the 12AX7) with VET's detailed circuit-component modeling, giving more nuanced amp emulation than simpler digital modelers”
— from the community notes

“Valued as a genuinely gig-capable modeling amp , with enough power and cabinet size to hold up in a full band mix”
