Some comments from people who come to the forum about this model:

Comment:

Wow, what a great amp.
I was hesitant about buying a hybrid amp and wether it would be too complicated.
This amp is easy to use. The preset amps are brilliant. You can even adjust the levels in the presets with easy.
You can also use it as a traditional amp and dial in your own settings, but with the quality of the tone the preset amps produce, I hardly use it as a regular amp.
As a gutarist who has spent years trying to get a great tone out of amps, I can highly recommend this amp. The tones are great and the amp is easy to use. So much fun.

Update: after 2 months of use, I have finally started to use the Tone Room. I bought a lead from the internet for 15 Euro and it’s the best 15 Euro I have spent this year.
Very easy to use. Down load the file from Vox (website) and connect your phone/computer to the amp.
The Tone Room has another 60 preset sounds, often named after the song from a famous band, so it easy to re-create the band’s sound. Each preset, is editable.
There are also 21 different effect pedals which you can swop in and out, to create your own sound.
I haven’t read many reviews of the Tone Room, which is a shame, as it is a great feature and very easy to use.

Update (4 months)
The more familiar I get with the amp and also the Tone room, the better the amp gets. The Tone Room is superb and easy to use.

Comment:

I got this as my first amp and I must say I am really happy with it. It si very easy to use and it also has over 30 presets wich sound just great. The amp models are very nice modeled . There are lots of options,11 amp models (20 using VOX tone room) and 12 effects( 21 using the VOX TONE ROOM). I was very pleased with the sounds, the clean and also the high gain ones. In the app there are lots of tweaking possibilities and i spent many hours creating beautiful sounds using effects wich are also great. This amp is a lot louder than i expected. This amp can easily be used for small concerts. Overall i am really happy with my Vox VT40X and i would recomennd it for anyone who is looking for a practice amp .
