UTILIZATION

This amplifier offers a typical Vox sound very British and vintage. It is very easy to get a good sound.
The 30 watt amp is this monstrous, I do not push the master volume to more than a third under penalty no longer hear the Fender Hot Rod the other guitarist in my group. Another small downside, the weight of the beast, 33kg it can not move it each time failing to take a abonement anual from your physiotherapist.
Two Celestion Alnico Blue Bulldog 12'' provide very good dynamic and good sound dispersion. Both channels are good but require pedal AB Box if one wants switcher from one to the other.

SOUNDS

The normal channel is very warm with lots of low and medium high. It is ideal for a clean typed a pretty good crunch or overdrive. Cranked up to a distortion will be small and quite compressed. The top boost channel is more aggressive and quickly crunch. It can be really excellent sound lead but hope not reach extreme distortion and ultra modern, this amp is not made for that. I like using both channels together by bridging the two inputs.
The reverb and tremolo allow sculpt the sound in interesting ways (consider purchasing the Vox pedal to engage VFS2A foot).

OVERALL OPINION

I have this amp for almost a year now. I used to play in a group after a time his little brother used Vox AC15. We play mainly rock in the broadest sense from tickle also hard at times.
The amp is quite expensive but really justifies the investment. We can still regret that for an amp of this price, there is still a need to buy a box and a crank AB VFS2A foot in order to control the different channels and built in effects.
