Vox VXT-1

A VOX Tuner Focused on Performance: Precision, Readability, and Durability

The VXT-1 is aimed at musicians who demand flawless tuning without compromising visibility. Its "diamond" display and strobe mode emphasize instant reading, even under challenging lighting conditions. Among pedal-format tuners, it stands out with a clearly professional approach: high precision, versatile displays, and a chassis built to withstand rehearsals, tours, and heavy use.

Who It's For: Guitarists and Bassists, From Live to Studio

Whether you play in a band, home studio, or on large stages, the VOX VXT-1 is a reliable tool to maintain perfect pitch between songs. It suits both guitarists and bassists thanks to its wide detection range and integrates naturally into the pedalboard: the signal is cut for clean tuning, then the original sound is restored when bypassed. The "offset" modes will especially appeal to musicians attentive to temperaments, open tunings, and contexts where the ear demands a "musical" tuning rather than strictly theoretical accuracy.

Controls, Modes, and Connectivity: A Complete Tuner for the Modern Pedalboard

The VXT-1 offers three display modes (strobe, diamond, vertical) to adapt reading to your position on stage and viewing distance. Tuning is done in equal temperament with 12 notes, featuring a chromatic mode and 10 "offset" settings. For integration, it includes a 6.35mm Jack input and bypass output, a DC 9V IN power input, and notably a DC 9V OUT capable of powering an additional pedal (up to 200 mA). The true bypass ensures signal integrity when the tuner is off.

Sound Character

A tuner is not meant to color your sound, and that is precisely the advantage of the VXT-1: in bypass mode, its true bypass helps preserve the character of your guitar, pickups, and effects chain. In tuning mode, the very precise and responsive display facilitates quick adjustments, useful for studio takes, temperature changes during concerts, or instruments sensitive to intonation. The result: more accurate playing, chords that fit better in the mix, and a sense of stability throughout a set.
