This ground breaking new product will help every guitarist, rental company, valve amp manufacturer, guitar tech and guitar \/ hi-fi store across the planet.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe compact and extremely easy to use VT1000 is a fully automatic valve tester, which performs a wide range of tests quickly and accurately. The benefits of using the VT1000 are clear and wide reaching; users can quickly and simply match and test valves, plus receive a reliable health check as to whether their valves are good, bad or worn.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrange Amps developed the world’s first fully automatic, portable, digital valve tester, the VT1000, to make it easy to test amp valves. Until now testing valves with little or no knowledge of valve theory was difficult, expensive and often unreliable. This new product will test all popular power and pre-amp valves. Its ease of use will appeal to all valve users whether amateur, professional or in the music retail trade.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe unit has one octal and two nine pin valve sockets for different valve types; simply insert the valve to be tested into the correct socket, select the valve type from the list on the unit and press ‘OK’ to test. The results are displayed clearly and concisely using LEDs and will test for a wide range of fault conditions, which could easily cause damage to other components. The simplicity of operation belies what is going on ‘inside the box’, where a CPU controlled testing system is in operation, allowing full control over all inter-electrode switching and measurement operations.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIn approximately two minutes, the VT1000 performs an extensive series of tests including: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeater filament test: Short circuit \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeater filament test: Open circuit \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeater filament test: Tolerance check \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeater cathode insulation: Leakage \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHeater cathode insulation: Short Circuit \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTests for heater current abnormalities \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eAmplification factor \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eVoltage gain \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePower gain \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eScreen grid test \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMutual conductance test \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDual test for double triodes \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEmission \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInter electrode leakage \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eInter electrode short circuit \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFlash-over (arc detection, high voltage breakdown) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGas ionisation test \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VT1000 really opens the door to everyone to have an extremely simple, portable, reliable, inexpensive and safe way to test valves.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe VT1000 incorporates patent-pending technology and currently tests the following valves:  EL34\/6CA7; EL34L; 6L6; 6V6\/6v6GTA; KT66; KT77; KT88; 6550; 5881; EL84\/6BQ5; ECC81\/12AT7; ECC82\/12AU7; ECC83\/12AX7; ECC99; 12BH7\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Orange Amplification","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44449565540455,"sku":"34532","price":499.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0658\/8848\/5479\/files\/orange_vt1000_moneyshot_639c5fd0-0ca2-4da7-95e5-49dae5447e19.jpg?v=1787089484","url":"https:\/\/vintageking.mom\/products\/orange-vt-1000-tube-tester","provider":"Vintage King","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
