About VR Technology
The VR series represent Vox's next generation of "hybrid" tube and solid state guitar amplifiers. The Preamp stage uses discrete transistors and integrated circuits (ICs) in the parts of the circuit where they are most effective. The discrete transistors are used for sound generation and the ICs for signal management.
The Power amp stage uses a 12AX7 vacuum tube in VOX's patented Valve Reactor circuit. This VOX technology was originally designed for the Valvetronix Modeling products, but has been further revised for use in the VR30 Reverb and VR15 amplifiers.
VR technology utilizes each half of the 12AX7 (the 12AX7 tube is actually two identical tubes in one glass tube a.k.a. dual triode) configured as a small tube power amplifier. This circuit provides the tonality and feel of an all-tube power amp. This "small" tube power amp is connected through a virtual output transformer to a larger, transparent current feedback solid-state power amplifier that is designed to not add coloration to the tube signal. The power output amplifier feeds the loudspeaker impedance information back into the tube part of the power amp in order to achieve the sound and feel of an all-tube amp.
