Best value:
Excellent
modeling amp with a 12AX7 / ECC83
for details visit vox, it's easier!
UTILIZATION
It seems simple at first .... but the setting options are extensive, allowing her to find suitable ... used in the guitar!!
SOUNDS
This amp behaves as a lamp, it is therefore very sensitive to the output level of your microphone,
thereby pushing back the gain on the amp and contol the volume of the guitar (how did they do with the JCM800 in the 80's after you?)
To clear it sounds simple and beautiful, but for heavy distortion you have to push the volume up and use the power reducer located at the rear of the amp.
The sound loses its garish side gets hot and closing in on an all-tube amp
side modeling nothing to say, the amp is the closest to a light among all those I tried, only the line6 SpiderValve mk2 is able to fight .... but we are not at all in the same price range!
on the other hand if you like and use many effects this amp is not for you!
effects are not bad qualities, but their use is very small
Example: chorus / delay, here you can adjust the delay .. but not the chorus (this too for my taste) the same problem with the compressor / chorus.
So try it before buying for fear of being disappointed.
You will understand, for me the point of this amp is elsewhere!
in the heat of saturated and especially its dynamic sounds clear
OVERALL OPINION
I play mostly blues-rock with a Squier Telecaster and a Epiphone Explorer (hacked house) using only the reverb or chorus + delay and there the VT50 is made perfect: beautiful sounds clear and crunch.
I have an all-tube head and a 412 BUGERA 333XL blackheart, the VT50 I used to go kick the beef to the right and left without having to move heavy artillery!
It is a perfect amp for that purpose and also for the home studio, it is sufficiently powerful, lightweight and robust.
I tried metal but its not being a specialist in this style of music I prefer not to comment on this.
a very good value for money
small supplement to 03/07/2010:
I just acquired a roadhouse stratocaster and I decided to use my vox instead of a hotrod deluxe (great sound but not in my budjet ... alas).
to give good old VT50 a more fender I do two very simple changes:
- Opening of the rear plate: less bass, a sound that breathes better beaucouop
- Replacement of the original hp hp FM212R a fender (after fruitless searches I can not specify the origin of this eminence ... hp?, Jensen ?....)
the result is significant and the sound of my VT50 is transformed, more alive, more present ..... well it sure does not sound and never ring like a hotrod, but the sound is more than originally fenderien .
