Members Oilid Posted September 6, 2017 Members Share Posted September 6, 2017 Hi guyz!Here’s a review I made of VOX’s new practice amp.I thought it would interest all the guitarists here!(view it on YT for readable subtitles). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emory Posted September 6, 2017 Members Share Posted September 6, 2017 Merci! Hadn't heard of this model. On this trip to US I got the Katana mini, but will put on my list for next trip. I am always on the lookout for another battery powered amp (I play at the beach). Weight comparable to Fender Mustang Mini. Katana weighs as much as lunchbox with apple in it. I like the looks of Vox, reminds me of bird cage stadium in Beijing. I am not big fan of THR: it shuts down on batteries if you drive it too much, the effects are like all on full with just a slight turn... this doesn't seem to have those issues.

Members Emory Posted September 6, 2017 Members Share Posted September 6, 2017 Vox site says 50 watts? Really? Unheard of on something that can run on 8 AA batteries. And for 8 hours. http://www.voxamps.com/AdioAirGT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a THR classic, and the effects sweep is very touchy. I haven't had mine shut down, but tonight I'll drive the hell out of it and see what gives. Most nights I plus my pc in to the aux and practice what I need too. I'm not really a high gain player and it works for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Emory Posted September 7, 2017 Members Share Posted September 7, 2017 Mine shuts down when on batteries, which I of course must use when at the beach. Can stop a little jam dead in it's tracks, at least my "contribution". Adapter power no problem. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Emory Posted September 7, 2017 Members Share Posted September 7, 2017 Would be interesting (if someone didn't mind voiding the warranty) to put a couple of speaker out jacks and run into a stereo cabinet with some 10's or 12's (noticed in specs the internals are 8 ohm). I have a little Vox AC1 (9 volt pocket amp) that friend and I hooked to JBL PA speaker. It drove it and sounded alright.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
