VOX VT40XCLBL 40W 1x10" Digital Modeling Guitar Combo Amp - Black

Extra headroom changes how a modeling amp responds, and the VOX VT40XCLBL digital modeling guitar combo amp leans into that advantage with authority. As part of the reborn Valvetronix lineage, this 40W hybrid combo builds on the core ideas that made the original series a favorite among working players, now refined with modern processing and deeper tube interaction. Powered by VOX’s VET+ modeling platform and a real 12AX7 tube, it delivers greater punch, dynamic range and touch sensitivity than lower-powered hybrids. A focused 10" speaker and bold blue grille complete a design that feels equally at home in rehearsal spaces, home studios and small stages.

VET+ Modeling That Captures Real Amp Interaction

VOX’s Virtual Element Technology Plus models amplifiers at the circuit level rather than relying on static tonal snapshots. By recreating how individual components behave under load, VET+ captures harmonic development, compression, and dynamic response with greater realism. The result is a modeling platform that reacts naturally to changes in pick attack and guitar volume, delivering a playing feel that mirrors traditional amplifiers.

12AX7 Tube Integration for Weight and Bloom

A single 12AX7 tube plays an expanded role in shaping the VT40XCLBL’s response, reinforcing the organic feel associated with classic Valvetronix designs. Clean tones stay lively and dimensional, while driven sounds transition smoothly into breakup as volume increases. This tube-driven contribution adds sag, warmth, and musical compression that give modeled tones a more connected, amp-like character.

Intuitive Controls With Practical Range

Despite its versatility, the control layout remains straightforward, allowing players to access a wide range of usable sounds without menu diving. Gain, EQ and volume controls respond predictably, making it easy to dial in tones quickly in rehearsal or performance settings. Built-in effects and amp models expand flexibility while keeping the focus on playing rather than programming.

Focused Projection in a Portable Combo Format

The 10" speaker delivers tight low end and clear midrange projection that sits well in band mixes and smaller rooms. Its compact cabinet keeps the amp easy to transport, while the split-front design and vintage-inspired blue grille nod to earlier Valvetronix models with a confident, modern presentation.

A Reawakened Valvetronix With More Headroom

The VOX VT40XCLBL 40W 1x10" digital modeling guitar combo amp is designed for players who want tube feel, modern modeling versatility, and added output in a manageable package. By revisiting and refining the Valvetronix concept, it offers expressive response, practical control, and enough headroom for rehearsals and small live performances. For guitarists seeking a modeling amp that behaves like a real amplifier rather than a preset box, the VT40XCLBL delivers a confident and musical solution.
