Take a look at our video below to see how the amp performs, and scroll through the gallery for more insight into the VX II.

The combo packs 11 amp models - Deluxe CL, Tweed 4x10, Boutique CL, Boutique OD, Vox AC30, Vox AC30TB, Brit 1959, Brit 800, Brit VM, SL-OD and Double Rec - as well as eight effects: chorus, flanger, phaser, tremolo, analogue delay, tape echo, plus spring and hall reverbs.

The lightweight, sealed ABS enclosure is designed to enhance low-end and projection from the 8” speaker, while a USB port allows for easy integration with DAWs and Vox's JamVOX III software.

Inside, Vox's new VET (Virtual Element Technology) emulates actual circuits and components, while an FET-based analogue power amp promises a valve-like dynamic response from the amp's 30-watt output.
