All user reviews of 5/5 for the Vox AD30VT

I bought this amp from Nicholson music in Folsom, CA and paid $239.00. Nicholson is my local music supply store and offered the same price as Guitar Center.

Since I could only afford one amplifier I looked at all available 30 watt amps. I was looking for warm tone with some decent effects. Once I was turned on to the Vox AD30VT I was pleasantly surprised by the warmth of the amp and its features. It models eleven amps in both preset and manual mode. Therefore one can modify any attribute of the setup. There are eleven effects - seven are combinations. The guitarist can adjust the "amount" of effect with a knob. There is also a noise reduction setting the guitarist can adjust when playing a single coil pickup or using high gain.

I would prefer to have each of the effects independent of one another. That way I could invoke each one singly or in any combination I choose.

Very solid unit. It has a metal grate front one would think would rattle but it doesn't.

Cool amp. It requires reading the manual (really!) but it is simple to operate. I'd buy it again.

Amp modlisation 30 W lamp with a 12 AX7 in pramp.
11 amp simulations (Fender, Vox, Marshall, Recto, SLO 100) more than 11 effects, EQUAL 3 bands, 2 volumes and a gain. At the rear was a rducteur power ranging from 0.1 W 30 W, a footswitch jack and a line out / headphones that automatically cuts the HP.

UTILIZATION

It's so easy to iutilisation I did not need a manual, besides y'en not Franais.
There's just select the amp, Galis, push the gain and master volume and pramp.
Be careful, it can also rgler the "power level" the rear.
It's really easy to use trs, refining effects thanks to the edit buttons, tap and bypass is quick and childish

SOUNDS

I've had three days so I have not tried everything.
For cleans, the Fender sound superbly, with a small chorus rverbe or so, my ESP Start out superb sounds smooth, it's a rgal.
The distos are good, the prsence a lamp makes it all enjoyable trs ear, frankly you would not think of modlisation.
On distos shoots well, is that the simulations front and SLO, the original grain is well respected but it is with these sounds that discovering the weak point of the rel amp: the speaker!
The 1O-inch Celestion's good plain, but is struggling to collect the palm mute distortion, the obviousness does not like the bass, even low volume and keeping the serious race put on amp, the hp dgueule, I dare not imagine with serious substance and high volume ...
For the rest of the effects are good quality I love trs rverbes, the delay is not too bad, just like the chorus. The rest I do not really essay.

Added 24/10: APRS two weeks of testing, I found the hollowed out in its relatively distortion, even with a microphone distortion Super mdiums yet loaded. And then I test a tip: put my MXR EQUAL upstream of the amp by boosting the mids, and lowering the bass on the amp (for the hp to cash), and I will say one word: BAM!!
The sound is certainly a little nose and a ct wah wah but because of mediums it has become much wider, the distortion is transformed, it is brutal and bold, really delicious !!!!!!! !

OVERALL OPINION

APRS jou have a rack in a group with Mesa Boogie 100W all-tube, it is true that without a 30W combo it's frustrating, but I had a small combo too much for my room and the fact .

In the end, are modlisations efficeces trs, the lamp provides a more rel and the effects are of good quality.
Too bad the HP is below the rest and that Vox did not install an original Celestion vintage 10 inches, but good essay with a Roland Cube 30 which sounds pretty steep, I think the VOX is when m I quite over.

So I say to a good final nine in the absolute, and if you look at the price (under 300) then the 10's!
Of course the amp has its limits, but given the bill I have no regrets.

Amp modlisation (11 modlisations)
Several built-in effects
30Watts
The rglage prcis are well and allow to optimize the ITS.

UTILIZATION

Well it just be quickly read the record and is handled almost perfectly this amp.
The sound is really nickel for me! I have been playing 3 years and I NEVER Russia to obtain such sounds on an amp for this price!
The modlisations are really Russianness (I like the not too modlisation "Nu metal" but I am not a pure Ferailleur ...)

SOUNDS

Bon ben ca is the highlight of the amp ... and what if achte amps, pa and we intend to connect a multi-purpose is to obtain a good sound.
So here's nothing to be! 10/10!

OVERALL OPINION

I use this amp for 5-6 months and I can play everything! I am discovering every time I use the new sounds that I enjoy customizing and supporting effects paramtrables good and damn well trs.
I had the opportunity to test other models and I chose it because its the SOUND ..... ITS ralala her!
Report qualitprix unbeatable for the price I pay (280)
It is clear and I recommit to any good beginners (yes guitar 3 years we are still beginners) to buy it!
And I deprecated the ferrailleurx (metal for those who not included).
It's a rock amp! tote of fawn Vox is a fate o)

Modlisation Vox amp, 11 amp modliss + a bunch of effects (chorus, reverb, delay, and always has combined ...^_^)
Power of 30W, but with the lamp, it goes to the transistor 80W!
The rglages are multiple, even infinite, but without being too complicated ... attnuateur the power is really great ...!!

UTILIZATION

The config is always what's more childish, we choose the amp (fender to marshall lamps through multiple effects and others ...), and go to heaven ...
The sound is really top notch but then for an amp of this price. I m'afffirmer since I tried a Marshall MG30DFX, a peavey 30W (I know what is the MODEL, but the 300 euros ...), a Line 6 Spider II 30 W, Vox AD30VT and the famous playing the same .... and the vox is dmarque bah, but then really Annes Lumire!! The effects are just amazing, it was one of the Amli Fidler copy for exceptional power of 30W (LONG LIVE THE LAMP !!!!), and a sound that does not go in even lollipop are .. . as + ^ _ ^

SOUNDS

I play mostly rock (The Darkness, telephone, queen, vines, blur ..) and blues (Lynyrd Skynyrd) and a little bit of mtal bah .... and are not mean, styles in all the little vox needed! The desire to crunch, the clean sound is amazing, the bass distortion pte death and are mtal ton !!!.. uh ... .. on the other hand avoid big merger, plutt turn to the randall ....

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 8 months now and I am more than happy, as a group is happiness, rducteur home with the power top is (hello ....) neighbors: more we push the sound over the lamp heats up and the "more" is the sound go ... The report price is the quality of the market and if meillleur j'volue to scne, I will take the Vox ad120vt !!!^_^

Ah ... so, Vox AD30VT amp with a 30W lamp (hello mr. Power!), 11 modlisations amp (marshall, fender and company ...) 11 + 1 noise reductor effects (practice, tr s practice ...), nimble 11 via two channels, headphone jack ... 9a begins polutt well ...^_^

UTILIZATION

The config '? it's magic! the amplifier is chosen, it is packed with effects and ... .... fit, it's like a JCM ... The potaresds are agrbles, yen is the happiness around .. .

SOUNDS

Me? it's rock and heavy rock group, or blues, and a good drummer bah typing like an ox, I cover 5 max volume ...^_^ attnuateur The power is really g nial, it helps to heat the lamp low volume .... The sounds are really good modliss, we see almost no diffrence with the original (nothing is beautiful tfaon ...) The clean sound: top, the sound cruchy: top, the rock sound: top, large rock: too early, the big rock crazy: standard, mtal: jen jen know not play .. .

OVERALL OPINION

I have now for two months, I have a MG30DFX and no photo, it is much much better!! I really conssille all guitarists who want a good amp in trs 300 euros ... it's the mesh quality report market prices and I know what I mean !!!!!! In short: go for it!

Transistor with a lamp for the preamp
30w
guitar input on the top line and headphone and footswitch has the rear
11 amp simulations more standard effects [very GOOD Calita] volume to adjust the power amp's very practical for the home

UTILIZATION

It takes a little time to learn adabtation SETTINGS
to make a sound without taking the head must be put in manual mode with the basic settings of a small amp and a very simple effect
the manual and correct

SOUNDS

I do rock, funk, metal, pop and are really suits me
I play a PRS Tremonti or aes 620 yahmaha
j'obients sounds very clear, crystalline or murder is very exposed to very distos see metal rock but not too much dirty sound is warm with the nuance of the game
I love all the sounds

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 3 months
I plug in my sound card with the line between live cubase I finally sound suits me
I test the roland cube 30w easy to use but less heat, and the line 6 spider 30w boff sounds very very clear way the Satus too messy
very good report quality price
yes for a Foit I'm glad it's top

Bon bah for the super dtail CHARACTERISTICS see below just once it has great DCRI, transistor amplifier with a small lamp even when, made the difference.
30 W, well, my Ailleux for 30 w brought down the teeth, I tell you me, it makes easy I think the guy 50.
easy connection, input for the guitar, a headphone jack (that can be used to connect to the computer or something like it, convenient to register!) with a footswitch jack (optional RAAA!)
The settings are fairly intuitive, but really all connatre matriser and any property we have to go through the manual, in any case, it is well provided plenty of stuff to do it was on!

UTILIZATION

The coufig is simple, you can quickly find a good sound, but to be picky there osi koi.
the manual is screwed, they explain not tro bad things and you get a great sound!

SOUNDS

Then ... a must ... I play with a ibanez 120's, and Ben has done ... it is really versatile! vox made the synthesis of knowledge and technology!
you can get a clean sound hot mmmm
a little crunch with crispy bite. rock a little more is even better.
there are a variety of distortions, and I can not do without it, the sound is really hell, when you turn knobs ls that is a real rgal, compared to other concurrently the m Photo prices are pa me !!!!! good for heavy distortion pa is bad either, but it's not that we just look for the big sound while bold. trs trs crystalline gnial versatile it is and it is super powerful! el frankly all the world should Arachis! if you can try a cot you will see the other picture is pa! it's a great amp! (Vox has a home hihihiii). rock'n roll!
the effects are really not bad, I stuff with Discoveries. if you can dgoter FSwitch ba is a way to have fun with pdt pieces, like a true multi purpose koi! and drummer, but he types vox win!!

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for three months, and I immediately find a little more each day.
well the rock crunch and many are great, plus they are "clean" IOLs do pa drafts, ac is gnial! one would really have the lamp for 300 euros!!
yes I tried many before and I MODEL hsit no longer against the peavay and Roland and co.
The report price is bttn quality, the best for now, versatility, power, its gnial for that price, by Student Reports in others it has everything a great! ank it a little to make known, in addition it is rcent! go for it!
with exprience, I will do without hsiter choice! I also think that my next amp will be the same but with more power !!!!!!!

Good look at the other opinions I will not add much except that I like this amp its mouth, there's a grill in front to hold the big sound that comes out . Actually it's more an amp in a tiny box 12Kg!

UTILIZATION

Config: INPUT branch, branch and support my decision to ON. A mdiator and happiness!!
good leaves a little heat ... even when no Precipitation Occurred
Yes but ... Read APRS
In the first one and then s'clate discovering the essence of the VOX a monster of simplicity and effects for your happiness. 2 memory is good but there's just so many things ...
The sound comes out if you turn volume and gain and you adjust the power derrire

SOUNDS

Ben the same if you got no style, there is a choice and you will find happiness
I play with a Yamaha (well nobody's perfect), the friends richest branch of Mexican Start, Cort, etc etc ... I think they went to order and sell them here must marshall the sale.

Good if you play it mtal limit but I'm Floyd and U2 I m'clate. For Floydiens is the amp of your life! if I had more gold coins I crack for the 50W.

My neighbors have not yet come knocking on my door ... the neighbor will appreciate the same guitar starts from the top of its 70 banks

OVERALL OPINION

2 months of use, soloing I melt ... power amp it the room like a small scne Depot! Well like any good consumer I tried the Marshall, Yamaha (yes!), Peavey low end blah blah and then the j'coute ADV15 W I fall, I ask the seller 30W: snap! argh! ! qq wait weeks 3 weeks is huge for both the height and the pedals ... well it's not super helpful ... I have not taken
Report quality price: ben say anything in the range there's no better.
Pre Nol exprience with a 50W you do not I take for Guilmour Earl Court?

This amp is no longer a transistor amp, an amp or any fact lamp. It has a lamp in the circuit we can perceive through the back gate of the rear face. Marketing coup!

Power 30 watts, but honntement it here must as much as my old 80 watt Marshall Valvestate.

Modlisations 11 amp and 11 Intgr effects more or less paramtrables: chorus, flanger, tremolo, delay, phaser, auto-wah. Some effects are combined on a same position knob (comp + chorus for example). Also a rducteur noise for large distos.

The amp can be modlisations RULES in every way, but there are also a function that preset Submitted dj "good rglages" when selecting a simulation of amp. Each simulation can be RULES in the volume and the gain level for saturation.

Unfortunately, we can not always use more effects. However, is better than to mess look 10 effects in a piece of 5 minutes. Turning the knob between songs and it jou.

2 user memory (yes, that little) for your two sounds prfrs
VERY USEFUL pdalier with 2 buttons sold as an option (but it fits my marshall) we recall the two memory with the switch on the left and cut with the effect select the right one. And is gnial! Genre: I do my rhythmic distortion and no effect for my soo j'enclenche the time limit that will make my notes last for a long time.

Note, a headphone jack in front rear.

The reverb is an effect Entire hand and is not subject to rglage hand injury.

A knob on the rear face can play with rglages lowering the output volume. Useful for not nerver its neighbors.

.

UTILIZATION

The rglages are intuitive and easy
For those who do not want to take the head, the amp simulation can be paramtres calls with pre-rgls (preset function) and then be modofis.

Sounds are INTERESTED, other than those obtained with my x behringer v-amp. There are really Difference between each simulation.

Manuel trs clear 25 pages. There's no need to learn more. It's a simple amp to use trs.

SOUNDS

I play rock too mtal, funk and it's perfect.
My guitar is a fender tlcaster Mexico. combines well with a sound a little crunch.
I do not sound too mtal style super-80s, but the others are perfect.

OVERALL OPINION

I bought There's 3 days
Tomorrow I play with. Front of a microphone for sound recovery and presto!
I love his versatile ct, weight (12 kg), its small size, its front mtallise.

I tried other models before buying, especially with effects Intgr amp (behringer V-AMPIRE, gfx marshall, fender, line 6 spider) that does not convince very promptly because be too heavy and too complicated rgler before THE son.Pis too expensive ... I do not see the intrt to have a 100 watt amp that RULES of 1 in volume if it dchire everyone (like fender hot rod). I prfre stick a microphone to the recovery in concert.

The price: 300 euros, it's really given this amp for quality. My dealer is aligned with the cheapest price, so I take advantage!

Black dots: no reverb effects distinct from the other, only 2 memory used. It would have taken at least 4, with the bypass effect, sufficient c'tait
I do it again this choice without hsiter.

What kind of amplification (lamp, transistor ,...)? look at the manual!
- What is the power dlivre?
- What connection?
- What are the rglages the effects? ...

UTILIZATION

The configuration is it simple? yes
- Gets it easy to sound good? yes
- The manual is clear and sufficient? ... ja

SOUNDS

Is it your style of music?
totally!
- With what (s) guitar (s) / low (s) or effect (s) do you play? ESP, JACKSON.

- What kind of sound you get and with what rglages ("crystalline", "bold ",....)?

we can enter largely into the metal sound, at home or in concert (well one can slight the 30, the clean sounds become saturated quickly, even in repeat (I'm talking about the high volume with the 30!)

- What are the sounds you prfrez, you dtest? I love it!

OVERALL OPINION

More than 6 months, it still!
we will take care not to place objects on it can ettouffer outputs on the same amp (small mesh tape)
RAPORT the quality / price is exellent, it is a good roust has many brands
must be removed from the head image 60 'of the beatles vox has, he can hit heavy! but lean on, even if it is super simple to use.

Ti a good amp with a 30w lamp ds preamp, which changes even when a lot of things fairly simple level sonConnectique (type amps: 11 in total, gain, volume, equalization, effects: 11 also very good quality, master volume.)
A button allows Squid to bypass the effect, one that switches to manual mode to choose your sound.
Not powerful enough to play in groups and to repeat (and then request a lautre ki has a 100W down a bit lol!)

UTILIZATION

C was my first amp and I have half a little time to understand all the possibilities will be good for her but once the box is ds c c is that of happiness!

SOUNDS

I play quite different styles of rock, pop, hard rock ,...... and it suits me perfectly whether it's clean sounds or no problem in the saturated
sounds are the best for me, obtained with a slight crunch ...

OVERALL OPINION

J have this amp for over a year and no problems
The value for money is very good given all the possibilities
of course I do it again this election! : D

That hybrid amp, a preamp-modeling anda power amplifier has tramsistore but with a lamp
30watt (Sufis to repeat, for I no not concrete) but an atenuateur power, so you can play with you thoroughly and that's really great because the sound is much dinamic
1 instrument input, headphone jack and a footswitch jack.
It's a modeling amp, so there are 11 amp modeliss:
clean sound (?), fender twin and tweed, VOX AC15 and AC30, Marchall plexi, JCM2000 JCM800, Mesa Dual Rectifier, Soldano Overdrive and (?)
some effects (11 selections with combinations):
Reverb delay leslie tremolo + reverb + chorus reverb flanger + reverb + delay + reverb Chorus Chorus + + compresseus flanger and compressor compresseus autowha
All these effects are fully configurable (unlike other amp)
Finally there are two channels for enregisdter its sounds (not pourkoi Plus? Shame) plus a free mode (a = position dzes knob) + a preset mode (sounds prehenregistr by vox)
but the pedal is not included (45, the scam)

UTILIZATION

The settings sound simple, apart from the effects at the beginning, but the manual is very well done and explains everything
c shame that the footswitch is not included, making it impossible to use 2 channels

SOUNDS

The sound all its EXCELLENT except his "clean" which is below the other
The different simulations are the only shame trsraliste Marchall plexi no more gain, you can not find the sound of Hendrix and others without distortion pedals of a pedal but with aditional one would really croyrait
For my part I will mainly use simulations AC30 Plexi and I boost with a Boss BD2 (+ BD2 = AC30 overdrive that kills!) And a Boss DS1 (DS1 AC30 or plexi + = a huge fuzz)
all with a crybaby wah and a fender head
The effects sound pretty good, but unless the amp simulations (the chorus is very far from the boss or ibanez analog chorus)

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for six months and that is happiness in addition it has a great look
the sound its really be convincing
if it has would be a yes without reffair eSites

Amplification "hybrid": 12AX7 tube in power amp, and it does!
30 watts, adjustable at will with the power attenuator (why not have thought of before?)
1 guitar input, taken line / headphone and footswitch (optional)
for details, see the previous post

UTILIZATION

Setup could not be more simple, you turn the pots, it reacts to the quarter turn. And for the amp models, saw the factory presets are mostly very good.
No difficulty in finding a sound that suits us, and if something goes wrong, the manual clear and precise is here!
As for effects, I find them quite well.

SOUNDS

Suitable for all styles of music, but he just fishing for sound "metal", but for everything else extra. Note that the HP has a tendency to drool a lot in the bass. In my case, whatever the degree of saturation, that drool when I play the neck pickup (a Seymour Duncan TB4 paf).
Lag Roxanne with my standard, they are a couple non-standard!
The effects are great, but I think investing in a soon to be able to footswitch bypass while playing.

OVERALL OPINION

I've had less than a week, and I suistrès satisfied for now.
The power attenuator is truly the most of this amp, you can push the amp back without risk of disturbing the surroundings. Too bad there is not an effects loop and that the effects are no more separated as the ad60vt (however, this difference should be factored into the price)
quality / price ratio excellent.
This choice I would do without hesitation.
I put 10/10 as it is close to perfection even though we can always do better (especially with the hp, I may change eventually !)... However, keep in mind that all is sold at around € 250, then that says more for an amp of this quality?
This is a great amp.

Let us not repeat and go to the essentials:
It's on this amp with both models (from the Tonelab, itself derived from Korg ...) and a small lampounettes (12AX7) preamp, which is out of the electronic modeling and just before to attack the amp itself, which is transistor.
30 watts, with a limiter 1 to 30 watts (thank you for the family and two memories to move from one setting to another with a footswitch (not included ...).

All this is very good.

UTILIZATION

Everything is simple and yet complicated: the possible combinations are endless, as on all these machines modeling, and it should not be tempted by a foraging fool.
The sound is easy to find and pay when we know what we want.
Only the settings of the effects are somewhat obscure, we must keep this little sheet of cardboard on the amp to buy, or download it from Voxamp.

SOUNDS

To get to the weak ...
The potential of this amp is remarkable compared to other modeling amps (I had tried them all before you buy, except Marshall), he holds the upper hand ... with one exception: the HP.
It does not take the bass (which are unclear), and lack of dynamics. Let's be clear: the amp is usable as sold, and value for money is very good (nothing to do with a Roland Cube equivalent for example, even if it costs € 50 more).

But once you are a TRUE HP grafted (a celestion G12H in my case, others have grafted a G10 Vintage), one realizes the huge mistake of marketing people at Vox: not to exceed € 300 (it is less), they have a basic HP stifling the potential of the amp.

on the other hand, once the customization done ... Then, on one hand the 30 watts are there, and really there, on the other hand, we can do anything with. Everything!
So are € 80 and you pay at least one G10: it is the same format and does not need to change the combo.

As amended, this combo is worth its 10 points. Originally, it is 5 (Serves the marketing people!)

OVERALL OPINION

Okay, this is not an all-tube amp, but it did not inconvenience any of lamps: it is robust, and above all it allows you to play "bottom" (So by exploiting the dynamic lamp), but going out 5 watts of power, then safe to do linch by neighbors.

For my part, I made a big change, since I changed the combo amp head, and I made a forum for the G12H. It cost me a total of 150 €, and the sound is huge!
This in itself is a confirmation of purchase: at a time, I was on the verge of selling it and take the 60 watt model, which HP is better ... but firstly I never need 60 watts, on the other hand, now I have a single amp (see my profile if that's your thing)

Tube amplifier with preamp modeling at 11 legendary amp tones from the 70s to today. All directories are affordable with so many possibilities. Noted that the amp also has dozens of different effects (Delay, Chorus, Phaser, Wah-Wah, etc ...) fully configurable very significant. I have for over a year and I have not felt the need to buy any pedal, given everything he can do. A good point as well, the site http://www.valvetronix.net/ to retrieve a bunch of presets already made with examples to support, to enable beginners to find the sound they need to all panel settings.

The amp delivers 30W maximum power, but the limiting power can turn the preamp all the way (to get the best possible sound by heating) while allowing the volume control from 0 to 30W This is especially nice to play at home. More needs to be in real or predict a rehearsal to see what happens ^ ^

The connection is only two presets with the only flats I think, since there is only one input (for connecting the guitar), a single output (which is loose headset and line out) and enough to connect a pedal switch to change from one preset to another. Only two adjustable presets, which is also very little given the incredible amount of different sounds that can not get with this amp. Two bad points for AC: s

The amplifier has a gain knob, an input for the volume, one for volume output (plus one for the alleviation of power), three for traditional high / mid / bass, an amp to change , and to choose its effects. It remains to add to this a button to get in "factory settings" (the default setting for each modeled amp), another to switch to "Manual", where you can build a leisure his own, and one for passing on the two preset modes you have previously registered with the button "Write". In short, there's enough to make

UTILIZATION

Setup is extremely simple, it is even intuitive. The only caveat is that to have a good sound it's best to put the "Master" (volume output) always thoroughly and adjust the volume with the limiting power to the rear of the unit (the emergency exits are ...).

Not only do you get a good sound easy, but it gets even a lot, good sound. And in case of failure, it remains the site mentioned above for Valvetronix can always fall back on its feet
With a pedal you can switch from one preset to another (there are only two) very easily and put the bypass for the effects (blocks the selected effect), resulting in the end when you you can play up to four different settings at the bottom. It is largely too little to fully utilize the capabilities of the amp, and that's what makes him an amp for beginners, since it is impossible to really play with.
Basically, it is not practical when you want to use it in other terms as the rehearsal or exercise at home. Which earned him this little 6 because it is really crippling ...

The manual is very clear, and sufficient when taking into account the fact that in the end, it is the user to make their own adjustments. The manual takes into account the particular technical aspects such as maintenance, warranty, etc. ...

SOUNDS

The sound is very good, and power is ample for a rehearsal or a café-concert. It should really all styles of music (I have myself gone through a lot with that one).

I use this amp with a 3T Cort Stato (link to the guitar on Audiofanzine) (https://fr.audiofanzine.com/produits/avis/index 2Cidproduit%%% 2C25113% 2Cmao 2Ccort_stat3t.html) without again, and with that I do not see what I could ask for except the expensive stuff, but I'm not there yet.

For the types of sounds obtained, it is difficult to explain. I can not even say that this amp is not capable of doing. Oh yes, it does not rectify the Hi-Gain (see Triple Rectifier Mesa / Boogie, you will understand better): p
If you are a pro and you want accurate sound, you should already know what you need. Otherwise, this amp is for you!
I put 9 because the price is really great, but everything is perfectible.

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for over a year, and this is my first amp. But I played on many others. I've got the best sounds in styles specific to the much more expensive amps (at least twice), but none of them are able to do all the work alone, most require the addition of an effects pedal, which adds a nice sum to be taken into account in the budget!

I would do the same choice in the circumstances in which I bought this amp, that little budget, and the need to seek his style through a lot of opportunity.
Of course, it's not the amp that I would now, with experience, where I have a larger budget to spend on music, and I know better brands and equipment dedicated the style in which I move.
