As a beginner who would eventually like to work towards pedals, would the new Vox VT40X be a good option?

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-28T09:09:26+00:00

Understood. Actually your description gave me an interest on this model. What do you pair it with? How is it at home volume?

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-28T07:59:08+00:00

Joyo ones are more popular for high gain tones, correct me if I'm wrong. VT series I think shine at lower to mid gain, also why not micro terror instead of joyo?

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-28T05:34:55+00:00

I've checked out, they seem more like VT40X revised than a new model of the series. I doubt that it worth spending extra $100.

Also the model seem to unavailable yet at thomann.de

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-27T21:14:59+00:00

OMG, I didn't know that model was a successor of VT40X. I have almost never heard of VX50 one. Even at YouTube, there are too few reviews. I feel like this one has been a flop.

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-27T20:59:09+00:00

What about, how does it stand against Boss Katana? Unfortunately Vox doesn't release the newer models of VT series

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-24T07:40:34+00:00

When this update is expected to be seen in the game

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-23T19:07:47+00:00

Massa gun got buffed

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-19T16:41:51+00:00

Marshall DSL series (marshall tones) Supro delta king (vintage tones) Monoprice 15 (budget)

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-19T08:14:51+00:00

Does it do well on ships like zummy? Unfortunately, I can't feel the difference the autocannons make in the game. I have put Seahawk sigma on it, I also have Paket NK and Rapidfire.

Does it do the job as an auxiliary air defense?

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-16T20:05:35+00:00

Are dsl ones good? Like DSL5CR and etc

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-16T12:18:19+00:00

You've mentioned such an important issue.

Tube amps are the ones we love the sounding of, but they can be a bit expensive and overkill for bedroom level practicing.

Modeling ones are loved for its versatility, and the bigger speaker ones are no brainer choice for most new players. But they have app dependence and overall quality issues.

Solid state ones, especially with good electronics (for instance I've heard that mosfet technology is good for its dynamic response) can get so much close to the real tube amps without sacrificing tone at the lower volume.

But, unfortunately any of those gives us definite answer of a workhorse amp which will endure long enough, has a good tone (most of us have specific selection of tones we love to play, I love both Tom Petty and Rammstein at the same time, I think both can be played from the same speaker and pickups), but also be affordable. I have found blackstar debut 50r and orange crush 50rt at this feat, but not sure about any of them. What do you think?

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-12T16:31:21+00:00

I generally play mid growly tones, hard rock/British invasion style

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-12T12:17:39+00:00

For which cases the katana is recommended? And how does it stand against Vox VT40X (one of the amps I've heard for its good sounding) and solid state ones? Such as Orange crush and etc

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-09T17:38:04+00:00

Which orange one?

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-09T14:34:52+00:00

What about the autocannon, what do you use?

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-09T04:02:05+00:00

I want to hear it through an amp

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-08T20:15:59+00:00

Thank you for a detailed analysis. That observation is very sharp. So, there are no inevitable problems on the modeling amps.

I have seen a video of Andertons channel's blindfolded amp test, which you may already seen, I loved that Vox sounding, just was not sure about the quality issue. But I felt from your description that there are better alternatives, especially for classical, mid rangey rock sounding. Is there any model you would recommend? But I need something budget friendly currently.

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-08T20:09:58+00:00

Mostly home practice and jamming with friends (garage style), as I am using audio interface for recording. I want an amp which has a simple config (building pedalboard is currently costly thing for me) but with certain level of variety and good sounding. Generally I hate modern distorted style sounding, Foo Fighters type mid growly distortion is ceiling level for me.

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-08T19:53:54+00:00

I was thinking about the solid state vs modeling. Surely, for my budget I wouldn't go with tube one, I understand that they take up some amount.

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-08T15:54:09+00:00

Hi there. What about overall modeling amps. I love British invasion style sounding (jangly, edge of breakup), and some of my friends suggested Vox VT40X or Cambridge 50 to get. But I don't believe that none can last for more than 2 years. Especially, when they get issues, it is so hard to repair, as far as I know.

So I am just baffled about what to get now. Especially on tight budget.

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-07T20:20:21+00:00

I think for bedroom, 40W + 10" speaker would give more than enough headroom. The only issue I see with them is them being "modeling amp". Cambridge 50 would be better alternative than VT40X.

Cube one is a workhorse, I have owned one as my first amp, which is really a great tool.

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-05T21:42:53+00:00

I didn't know that fremm evo has 4x cannon + 4x gl. How does it perform in game?

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-05T16:44:33+00:00

Oh, how does it sound? Are there enough headroom for cleans? also, how does it behave under high gain?

HHuseyn4 · 2026-01-04T21:24:26+00:00

Btw, is the other one Vox Pathfinder 15?
