SlapKid « Vox ... »
Published on 03/05/11 at 03:50I have mine for three days, special red version. It is clear that it sounds better than black eh.
Tube amp almost as rectifier diodes therefore not compliant, and reverb-tremolo circuit IC centipede.
Lamps of Chinese origins, not terrible but it works.
Additional output hp (we keep the greenback) or external (it is cut), with switch 8 / 16 ohms.
Socket for remote control (reverb, tremolo, not yet tested).
The HP is a 16 ohm greenback, and as the boyfriend said he is splendid.
Looop would have a great pleasure, colon crack.
UTILIZATION
Vox was hard this year because we finally entitled to two separate inputs (1 with volume alone, 2 with bass-treble-volume) is not to take extra cabbage. More and use clean it allows me to use my mini bazaar noon (drive + nova FX550) without loss of sound because I'm mixing effects via input 1.
The reverb-tremolo acts on both channels, as the master and the tone cut.
The 2-band eq is weird, but it sounds to zero, and if you go up the bass and treble carve vice versa, so not possible to have both. Well ...
Output volume level, the greenback moves serious, but I do not think that we can cover a clean beater, as it saturates when the channel volume 10hrs. I changed V1 12ay7 a small gain, but it is less apparent than usual, as soon saturates 11hrs now ... The sound is less hard on the other hand.
In practice it's nice, surprising because even without EQ on channel 1 was the direct sound without plug.
SOUNDS
5 hours of use so far, but sustained volume. Used an Ibanez guitar equipped with H57 but Kinman avn56 avn62b and therefore quite stratum in the general idea (except that it takes the agreement and does not pull the right palm).
It is clear that the original tubes were chosen for their reliability, not their sound (nothing worse for a manufacturer that a product in return for a tube that will not ...), and this also applies to EL84.
So 12ay7 EH in V1, a studio 12AX7 in V2, V3 the stock diverter and two EL84 tad str and it sounds much more gentle and warm, with a distortion less transistors than stock. Because for me the purpose of a class is warm and creamy sound, music, and not aggressive rough (why are other English ...).
Channel 1 very balanced, thoroughly perfect because not fat, the rate reached a low distortion you need a booster rather skinny kind Rocktron Nitro or surprise Bebert CS100 (all fully sustain except at noon). So it's downright beautiful everything is.
Channel 2 I take to clean, so bass and treble back to zero, Volume 11 hrs max. Hot soup is raah lovely especially with the reverb (too good but metered) and tremolo (super, better than the fender deluxe reverb in my memory).
Attention is a sound or the other because the master is to balance the bottom (cut tone at noon) to clean, and at noon (tone cut to the bottom) for the distortion.
Therefore ab box I see not too useful yet.
Have tested several hp and greenback is really a good choice because not too steep but a fuckin grain in the low-mids, and a sacred volume for ptits watts given him, so generous.
As I think I use at home (it is red, special edition, great!) I have a hp much creamier and less efficient, with lots of bass.
Must see what we want to do with the amp and prepare accordingly, is more flexible tubes that transistors ...
OVERALL OPINION
Firstly I think that this group will not do a clean sound, I compared with my bassman is really much less strong. And as it just clean enough ...
This Vox is nice, I'm just a tad disappointed with the side not very clear from the disto he proposes, but hey I had no point of comparison. As such it is closer to that of May Blackmore finally maybe my guitar too.
It is very well mounted, I did not notice any noise when we play it, and the asking price is frankly ridiculous for this special edition (less than 600 roros!).
So I will ever again!
Updates to come, of course, patience!
