Question 1

Have demoed several of the vtx range in stores: when you switch between amp models; the volume level jumps violently. anyone know why?

Accepted Answer

The reason might be that the people who make the patches seem not to care about volume disparity, but the way around it in this case is to max the 'volume' knob, and then use the 'power level' knob as your master volume knob. The volumes between amp models will be more consistent if you do that.

Question 2

Does it take well on pedals? (want to use a dunlop cry baby)

Accepted Answer

This is a great little amp. Plenty of sound. Pedals are not a problem at all.

Question 3

Is it loud enough to play gigs?

Accepted Answer

I have a VT30 and it is plenty loud to play gigs. I use an amp stand to bring it up to waist level. If you have a big room and or a lot of people, just mic it through the PA system. The best thing about these valvetronix amps are that they are VOX amps. I honestly don't think that I'll buy another Fender amp again.

Question 4

How does this amp work with distortion and loop pedals like the Boss GT1?

Accepted Answer

I use it with pedals all the time and it works great. I have a tube screamer plugged in continuously, and other various pedals, reverb and compressors. This amp makes for a neat pedal platform because it has a unique trick, manual mode. Switch it into manual mode and the controls become WYSIWYG. At that point it acts like a regular (real) amp. There are a number of useful clean models to use that effect the pedal sound as well. The Deluxe emulates a Fender and is your stand-by clean(treble-y). The Vox AC 30(For some added break-up when pushed), Boutique Clean(Balanced), 1959 (Marshal Super Lead)(bass-y) and Blue Sky (chime-y) are all great options as well. Avoid the others as they are too gain-y and will mess with your pedals sound.
