VOX Valvetronix AD120VTH Guitar Modeling Amplifier head and AD212 cabinet plus VC-12 Foot Controller and carrying bag all in excellent working condition! Features amp models, pedal effects and includes Foot controller custom case and power/speaker/foot control cables. This amp Looks and sounds great and has been used in a smoke-free pro recording studio for many years. What I love about this amp is being able to dial in any amp sound and effects without having to lug around multiple amps or bulky and unreliable guitar pedals - it's all built in! This is also the more desirable Korean made version!!Features: First thing - the amp is amazing for the price and it came with the VC-12 foot controller. It has the Vox Valvetronics technology in it which I should say is amazing stuff, such tone I did not think was possible. It comes with everything like the headphone jack, effects loop and so on. It has pretty much all the effects built in and my personal favorite is the Valve Overdrive which just simply super distorts it. As its a 120 watt amp you would think its too loud for the house but there is a great knob on the back which lets you change the watts from 2-60, 2-30, 2-15 and 2-1, you get the same sound from 2 watts as you do from 120 which is fantastic for house work. There are 2 different input sockets, one high and one low, for the different pick-ups. Another great thing is having the storage channels to save sounds you like, when you have the vc-12 it makes changing sounds so easy. Sound: The sound is outstanding, the overdrive will blow you away with the sheer power, and the tone is mind boggling. It is a massively versatile amp and it does everything I need it to do.Reliability & Durability: Yes, I would take it to a gig without a back up, it is a solid amp and nothing has failed on it at all.Overall Impression: I absolutely love the overdrive sound, I have fallen in love with it! If you can get hold of any AD blue series amp, go for it, they are amazing, better than the chrome ones and way better than the black ones.SPECS:Amp Models: 16 types16 amps in total are modelled in the 'full-featured' AD60/120VT/VTX/VTH range: -AC15 - Channel 2 of a 1962 Vox AC15
