Historical Context and Positioning in the Range
Heir to Vox's DNA and the legendary AC30, the Adio Air condenses the brand's expertise into a modern desktop format. Developed with Korg technology, it stands as the nomadic companion in the Vox lineup: a compact stereo amp/speaker designed for daily practice, home production, and multimedia streaming, without sacrificing the "British" tone dear to Vox.
Who This Amp Is For
Ideal for beginner to advanced guitarists, the Adio Air excels in home studios, light rehearsals, headphone playing, or as a high-end Bluetooth speaker. Its sound palette covers pop, rock, blues, indie, metal, and boutique clean tones. Its wide projection and battery operation make it a great ally for small intimate stages, showcases, and mobile sessions.
Features and Innovations
Two 3-inch speakers in a bass-reflex enclosure with an anti-resonance internal architecture deliver a wide stereo field. The modeling includes 11 amps and 8 effects, all editable, with expansion via the "Tone Room" editor (Windows, Mac, iOS, Android). Controls offer gain, EQ with voicings, master, effects 1 and 2, 4-level noise gate, and Wide Stereo on/off function. Complete connectivity (instrument input, Aux, headphone, USB) is complemented by Bluetooth audio and MIDI BLE to control the amp and save 8 presets.
Sound
Being a modeling amp, the Adio Air offers open and sparkling Vox-style cleans, dynamic crunch inspired by British classics, and tight modern saturations for lead playing. The inclined cabinet optimizes projection at close range, while Acoustage widens the soundstage for immersive atmospheres. The headroom is comfortable for home playing, with musical compression that keeps the touch lively and responsive.
