MGR/Simon Wolfe « Vox Valvetronix AD60VT »
Published on 12/27/03 at 15:00I am 13, and the day after Christmas, I went with my dad to a Guitar Center in chicago, and he loaned me some money so that I could pay him back later for an amp that I was going to buy. Orignally, I was going to purchase either a Fender Deluxe 90 or a Flextone III, and the Flextone was out of my price range, and I saw the Vox first,and it had the misprinted pricetag of 399.99, so I purchased it. I bought it because I play in an alternative band and a blues band, so I needed modeling technology. Also, 399.99 for a NEW AD60Vt is a STEAL.
Practically everything. 8 banks with 4 channels each, all of them rewriteable, VERY USEFUL. the "pedal" section, although not great, has some useful features (like Models of the ProCo Rat, and classic Ibanez Tubescreamer really beef up your sound, especially when it is set on Recto. It is great if you play metal). The amp types are very good and useful, the valve reactor really makes it sound warm. The modulations (Chorus, Flanger, Phaser, Tremolo and Rotary) are all useful and fun to play with, the tap tempo on delay is one of my favorites, along with the 3 other delays, three tyeps of reverb, which all sound good, and the power selector in the back is good when people are home and you cant turn it up, or when you want to crank one of the models, but dont want to shatter your eardrums.
The cosmetics are rather cheap. Also, there is no true clean channel, which is a little frustrating (although the Boutique CL does not have an overdrive, so I just use that).
Medoicre cosemtics (on the front), and do note: This is not an American made amp, so if you prefer handmade American amps, this is not one, though the quality is still very good, in my opinion.
Whether you have saved up a fortune for a new amp, need digital processing with valve warmth, or just need a gigging amp and dont have too much money, this is an amp you really should get. Definately the BEST amp I have ever used (I can't say own, because I only have one other amp, and the VOX is obvioulsy much,much better)
