Vox VT80+ - Manual (Page 23)

23
SPL (Special)
This models the 22W Bruno Cowtipper Pro II 22 which owes its existence to a
special friend of VOX, the custom amp designer Tony Bruno. It responds with
extreme sensitivity to your playing touch, and its silky-sweet clean tone be-
comes a crunch sound rich in overtones when you turn up the volume.
CST (Custom)
This models a wood-finished 30W boutique amp head that costs more than
$25,000. It delivers sparkling glassy clean tones. It also produces overdrive
sounds that are startlingly sweet in a musical way when the gain is raised.
4. US 2x12
STD (Standard)
This models a black-faced 2x12" combo amp that has become an indispensible
item for country and blues players. Its tight and clean sound provides deep
piano-like bass tones, and will deliver the classic Chicago blues tone particu-
larly when used with single coil pickups.
SPL (Special)
This models a beautiful 30W boutique amp head renowned for its peerless
quality and true point-to-point wiring. Based on a concept similar to that of the
VOX AC30, this amp is known for its rich overtones, sparkling clean tone, and
great-sounding overdrive.
CST (Custom)
Based on a crunch-distortion amp, this original amp model changes the tone
control to an active circuit that is more powerful than the conventional one,
allowing a wide range of tones to be created.
Raise the TREBLE for sparkling chords or lower it for a tasteful blues setting,
or turn up the MIDDLE for a rock backing sound.
5. VOX AC15
STD (Standard)
This models the AC15TB, which combines the beautifully sweet tonal character
of the AC15’s low output power amp with the sound-creating flexibility of the
AC30’s top boost channel.
SPL (Special)
This models channel 2 of the VOX AC15 (1x12", 15W), which was manufac-
tured in 1962 and was a big hit for its compact cabinet, power, and great tone –
along with then-popular British bands.
CST (Custom)
Designed to emulate the tones of the thick channel on the VOX Night Train
Amplifier this tone is a modern take on the classic VOX pairing of 12AX7
preamp tubes and EL84 power tubes. Think Classic British Crunch.
