VOX Amplification USA VTX150 - Manual (Page 26)

26
With this modification, an already-superb amp gains even greater smoothness
and additional warmth.
EXT (Extra)
This dual channel 22W blackface 60’s design used 6V6 power tubes and a tube
driven reverb to produce a big sound at a lower wattage. Our modeling is
based on the Vibrato channel.
3. US BLUES
STD (Standard)
This models a 4x10" combo amp from 1959 that was originally designed for
bass guitar. Its smooth and crisp overdrive sound will respond sensitively to
your picking dynamics and to the volume of your guitar.
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.
EXT (Extra)
This models a vintage California design known as the first amp equipped with
4 cascading gain stages. The result of which was a wall of gain that could
sustain notes using enormous amounts of overdrive.
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.
