Re: VOX VR Series Amps
They are the lower priced Combos in the Valvetronics line. Good tone and quality for a great price. Just search the forum for LOTS of info on the amps. I've got an AD60H, 60 watt head this and the 120 are the top of the line Valvetronics that have a few more features. The VR's have a simpler layout and fewer features, but sound great.

Re: VOX VR Series Amps
Thanks JumpMarine.
I was thinking that since I play mostly Rock "n" Roll and Blues and I don't need a lot of bells and whistles, this may be a good candidate for a practice amp. It's light. I am getting tired of hauling those 65 lb. plus amps and 4x12 cabs.
Does anybody have more info on these amps.
Any help is appreciated.

Re: VOX VR Series Amps
I have had one for 2 weeks now. I bought it because I fell in love with its cleans and high mids. On clean it can get really bright or really warm. The problem is that the VR 15 does not have reverb which is a huge downside. Its a very good amp and at $99USD its a great value.

I went to GC and played with them today. They're surprisingly quiet comparing to a lot of other amps including solid state ones, but they are pretty loud when played. I compared them to some 60 watt and 100 watt amps and I considered the Vox amps adequate. They must have some high sound pressure level speakers. Like Minameismudd said, they're clean, they can get really bright and they can get really warm too. They would also respond if pushed and the speakers did break up nicely. However, I'm not too hot about the distortion channel, not that it's no good, but because I don't use distortion that much, I can't tell the difference and I have no preference. I have also heard better reverbs, but for $149, it is probably OK. I ended up taking the VR30 home because I liked its sound better than the VR15. I'm not looking for a special tone from this amp, but I had tried the Gibson LP Studio, the Gibson SG, E335, the Fender Deluxe Tele and Fender Strat on it because I do use these guitars and they did sound good. I also could get a wide range of tone adjustment. I consider it a good practice amp and I can probably use it to gig in a small venue.
