VOX Valvetronix AD30VT

VOX Valvetronix AD30VT

The highly successful Vox Valvetronix series of amplifiers have been in production for many years now. The most recently released amplifiers in this series are the “AD” models which range from 15 watts through to 100 watts of output power. The Valvetronix brand is a culmination of two ground-breaking technologies from both Vox and Korg. The pre-amp section is a derivative of Korgs “Toneworks” high-quality digital amplifier modelling and the power output section has been specifically designed by Vox from the ground level up. This perfect partnership of technologies is about as close as any manufacturer has come to authentically recreating multiple “Class A” and “Class A/B” amplifier tones from a single amplifier unit.

Yamaha Classical Guitar

Nylon or steel strings?
There are two main types of acoustic guitars to consider, the nylon string (classical guitar) and the steel string varieties. Nylon strings typically have a very soft mellow tone which is suitable for classical or Spanish style music. They are also be softer on the finger tips and they tend to have a lot less tension which makes them ideal for the younger beginner.
