VOX AV60 60W Analog Guitar Amp

Description

The VOX AV60 60W Analog Guitar Amp  is a tube, two-channel, analogue guitar amplifier designed to provide a variety of analogue amp tones for guitarists playing live and recording in the studio. It features a 12" speaker and delivers 60W RMS at 3 Ohms.

The preamp section offers eight different preamp circuits, ranging from smooth and clean to thick and distorted. It utilises a 12AX7 tube, and has switchable Fat and Bright circuits. Each channel has controls for bass, middle, treble, gain, and volume. The power amp section incorporates a 12AX7 tube. Switches are provided for different voices and damping settings.

Three independent, analogue-voiced, digital effects (chorus, delay, and reverb) are available. Each effect features adjustable parameters and an on/off switch. Integrate your stompboxes via the mono 1/4” effects loop. A dedicated 1/4” input is provided for connection to a VOX VFS2 or VFS5 footswitch (both available separately).

Connect a smartphone, MP3 player, or laptop to the 3.5mm (1/8”) stereo aux input, then play along with your favourite tracks. Plugin headphones via the 3.5mm stereo headphone jack to practice without disturbing neighbours.

Key Features:

Configuration

• 60W RMS at 3 Ohms
• External speaker output (4 Ohms)
• Two channels
• Mono effects loop

Cabinet

• Single 12" speaker
• The speaker is installed from the front so that the sound will emanate from a projecting position, creating a wider sound field
• Left and right edges are significantly rounded, allowing the sound to project widely
• The speaker is mounted asymmetrically to prevent internal standing waves and deliver a flatter frequency response
• By mounting the speaker on the cabinet frame, the entire cabinet receives the vibration of the speaker and creates a resonance appropriate for the amp
• The proprietary bass-reflex structure ensures a natural sound balance
• A horizontal sound post unifies the vibrations of the rear and the baffle
