Vox VTX150 has arrived
Introducing the new VTX150 Neodymium - the pinnacle of VOX modeling amps.
Vox VTX150 Valvetronix Pro Neodymium amp is supercharged to befit the name. VOX Valvetronix amps are famous for their highly realistic amp models and their versatile array of in-demand sounds and effects. Now, VOX has created a new breed of Valvetronix amp: The Valvetronix Pro. The heart of every Valvetronix amp is the "Valve Reactor" circuit. First introduced in 2001, the Valve Reactor circuit uses a real vacuum tube to provide Valvetronix amps with that all important true tube tone. For the Valvetronix Pro Series, the Valve Reactor circuit has been enhanced, using an EL84 tube in place of the traditional 12AX7 tube to create a more accurate tube sonic signature. In keeping with its fagship status, the VTX150 Neodymium boasts 44 amp models the most in any Valvetronix amp along with a diverse selection of pedal, modulation, delay, and reverb effects to refine your sound. The speaker is also a crucial element of any amp's sound. The Valvetronix Pro Series uses a Celestion VOX NeoDog speaker, created using a lightweight and powerful neodymium magnet.
The incredible Tenori-on is in stock
Tenori-on is the product of collaboration between Toshio Iwai, a leading media artist who provided the idea and design, and Yamaha, which provided its electronic musical instrument technology.
Physically, Tenori-on takes the shape of a square board approximately 8 x 8 inches, with a matrix of 16 vertical and 16 horizontal rows of LED buttons or switches (for a total of 256 in all), which, when blinking on and off provide a visual image of the structure of the music. When these buttons are touched directly, it is possible to create intuitive compositions even without specialised knowledge of music and enjoy playing with sounds. It is also possible to perform compositions in real time as the player is composing them.
