Vantage VG-30R

The VG30R is a transistor amplifier has an output of 30W, with two between guitar (high / low), then, in order: Overdrive Channel: Drive, Volume, Clean channel: volume, three band equalization common, reverb, and a micro volume, from a microphone, and headphone and line output and a jack for a footswitch (well, I believe, is not clear .. ..). The HP 12 "unbranded ...

UTILIZATION

Untilisation any difficulty, the settings are quite commonplace ...

SOUNDS

The clean sound is usable, nothing too fantastic, but enough to have fun, especially since the reverb is not bad as long as is reasonable ... The distortion and very, very average, as one moves on that channel, the mediums and low REDUCED sensiblementle sound loud enough, and it s'apperoit the legalization ... inneficace is almost impossible to get by against a "real" distortion, it remains in overdrive, even with the gain a background ...
A simple EQ pedals can warm up the sound, adding a little gain on the OD channel, and to have a "small" rock sound pretty cool in the register the same punk ... the canl can clear a nice crunch asse z for blues, but I'm not in the long run the hp to survive to ... use a pedal for distortion (big muff) is working nice but draft (I know that the Big Muff is not an example of precision, but ...), that I qd same trend has attributions of bad quality of HP.
In short, it's not super ...

OVERALL OPINION

I use it for 4 years, the first amp I had, and bought it without knowing anything about it ... but hey, for 800 francs is not too bad purchase learn ... say it is not great but it has little thirty Watt amp that price, especially equipped with a microphone input, which is also handy for the first rehearsal ...

Everything has been said in the previous opinion, very simple amp with a line out anyway that can help out in the sound bar and magnify the sound without taking the head .. EQ settings quite effective, may even be used for a bass player (already done) ultra tough, all cash - even the falls ....

UTILIZATION

I possessed for 6 years and I rediscovered recently to play in Paris where the soundman Caf'Conc imposed a drastic limitation of watts and would not hear of big amps, so, thought of my Vantage g I am brought back into repeated. and there we all were amazed!
There is however a trio, the bassist has a 5 cord and active slap much, our drummer has forearms of lumberjacks; Well this sends impec Vantage, obviously I do not use it but the distortion of a tube 999 coupled King with Sd-1, no complaints, on a volume to 4 / 5, that oatmeal!!
Tube and coupled with the distortion of the amp is not bad either!
His impeccable clear, neutral, effective reverb.

SOUNDS

I mainly play a JCM800 2203 head ... well I have not found lost with this little thing! Nothing to do with the crappy Peavy Bandit by ex.qui sizzle instead of saturating even with proper pedals.

OVERALL OPINION

Frankly, I had paid 650 balls. and for that price, for use in bar plugged into the sound system, with 1 or 2 good pedal, c of the ball!
