This amp gets some great sounds using a strat or a 335 straight into amp with no pedals. The volume in the room was very loud though. The brightness switch is always ON for that glassy fender sound. The Celestion Vintage 30 speaker sounds noticeably smoother after it has had some time to break-in. I sped up the process by connecting the speaker directly to a 400w mono QSC power amp and played the local R&B/Rap radio station through it for about 8 hours at a safe volume. When I got home from work and reconnected the speaker, it sounded fantastic.
The overdrive settings starting at 1:30 were:
(Channel 1)
Gain: 8
Volume: 2
Treble, Bass, Middle all three set to: 5
Boost: OFF
Presence: 6
Reverb: 5
Stock tubes were replaced with ‘early breakup’ set (see below) of JJ Electronic Eurotubes:

Traynor YCV40 – High gain option.
A pair of the JJ 6L6GC’s along with three hand picked high gain ECC83S’s with one of them being balanced for the phase inverter in V3. For you players who need a little more edge! These are fixed bias amps so please use the comments box before checking out to let me know if your after max headroom, middle of the road, or an earlier breakup from the clean channel so I can pick the proper grade for the power tubes.
The 335 humbuckers were a DiMarzio Air Norton in the bridge and a Gibson ‘57 Classic in the neck. The strat was a mahogany Fender American Select Stratocaster HSS with a Diamondback humbucker and two Tex-Mex single-coils.

Yet another new line for Vox, the Vox AGA70, was introduced at the recent NAMM show in Anaheim. This one’s an acoustic amp — the first for the company (unless you count the Vox AmPlug Acoustic, which we don’t). This powerful little 70watt combo sports two separate channels, one with a solid-state pre, and one with a 12AU7-driven preamp, perfect for adding a little warmth to a microphone or secondary input.
Vox went through the trouble of setting up a sound-proof audition room for all their new amps at the show, so we went through the trouble of demoing all the amps, including the Vox AGA70. Enjoy!
BTW: anyone have any idea what the deal is with the Vox Acoustic Guitar in this video? We totally forgot to ask the dude about it and can’t find any info online.
