Vox Valvetronix 30 watt combo

[Dave N.]

Hell Gents,
I wanted to see if any one uses the Vox Valvetronix amps here?

I'm thinking about buying one of the new XL series 30 watt and seen a post on Youtube for it and it sounded pretty nice but wanted some opinions on these amps.

Thanks

Dave

As a Vox service center, I cringe when I see a Valvetronix come through my door. I hate working on them. VERY inconvenient construction, convoluted circuits, thorough pain in the ass. Perhaps someone else has a more rosy opinion of them.

Hello Enzo,

Do you see these amps break down very often?

I see good reviews on these amps mostly but always glad to hear some one give a good technical side to how the build quality goes. I'm betting these are sort of like the line 6, a computer circuitboard in an amp

Thanks

Dave

I can't tell you how many of them fail, all I know is when I DO have to work on one, it is a nightmare to me. I won't say it is poorly constructed, it seems sturdy enough, but the way it is put together defies easy service. it isn't junk, it is just a pain in the ass.
