tremonti « Vox sound at low cost »
Published on 06/23/12 at 11:49
Value For Money :
Excellent
Tube Combo: 1 12AX7 preamp and an EL84 in power
An input, an output 16 ohm speaker
1 tone, 1 volume, 1 output selector: 1/10W, 1w, 4w
1 HP 6.5 '
Connectivity rather bare, no effects loop but there is the main thing.
And what a look! Creamy white with brown sign on my cabinet Peavey tweed gives it good! Even the handle criticism here and there does not shock me and usually I'm pretty fussy about the look! After the tastes and colors ...
UTILIZATION
Config ultra simple, one branch is allowed to heat 2-3 minutes, you select the desired power, volume level and equalization adequate.
In this regard the equalization (tone) is not "regular" she is not dull when the knob is left shiny or when it is right, it's more complex, it moves according to the level volume where you are.
SOUNDS
So first I hesitated with the head version (AC4TVH), but the circuits are the same I opted for the smaller combo for cheaper and already 1/10watts on a HP 6.5 'allows it to cruncher the beast at a lower volume for use in the apartment. Add to that that with the release 16ohms (as the head version) you can connect it to the cab of your convenience (tried on 4 * 12 2 * 12 * 12 and 1), I could not see much use for take the lead.
Moreover for trying on different HP I note that I do not really like the combination with a V30 (too garish for my taste), 4 * 12 on my Epiphone So-Cal with HP Eminence Lady Luck (quite vintage in mind) but it looks better already it is with the G12h30 it really sounds. I'd have to try with a Greenback, on paper it promises!
Also of note, and I had read on forums Anglo-Saxon, that when you push the position into a corner 1/10W a burning smell just tickle your nostrils as you say that I ironed direct 1w but this is immediately more complicated, especially in the apartment, to thicken the sauce.
I would have tried to plug this little monster on a 2 * 12 4 * 12 or even requisitioned by, I am sure that overdrive it should be possible to pass over the battery. For clean sounds, however, I doubt (and I'm an optimist in general).
With my Goldstar (Strat copy) the sound is really excellent! Small plans to limit Frusciante in a crunch, sounds clear 4w type "Day Tripper" by the Beatles, everything sounds really great! I dream to take her to a small bar and trankilou play with a bass and a slight rhythmic, it has to do it!
I just put an MXR GT-OD and a Holy Grail + and it is more than enough to keep it small and get his bluesy side of a rock more biting.
With double (Tokai LS80 or Flying V) we immediately into something warmer, perhaps less versatile but equally significant. Personally I'm going to look rather sounds like Gary Moore, Santana and I find them really good!
In funk, reggae, blues, rock, you can not take it in default. For more extreme styles I admit to not having watched too much but what he gave as the gear is quality, it would not surprise me that a good distortion pedal it sounds like it should.
OVERALL OPINION
I use it for a few weeks now.
With Peavey heads (Delta Blues turned into head), Orange (Dual Terror) and Jet City (JCA100H), I had not really tasted his Vox except through a guitarist with whom I played which brought in requisitioned a Vox modeling technology that I was not convinced it's the least we can say ... Well it's done with it!
It's simple, I love it! I have a very vintage sound great at low volumes, the fact of change of position (1/10W, 1w, 4w) changes the sound, I can plug it into a cab with my choice, short without seeming to do it is really versatile and I can take it anywhere!
Lack an effects loop but at this price it is almost logical. If you are a handyman I think there are not too complicated 2-3 mods that have yet to make it better!
Good at all, do not miss if you are looking for a small combo of quality and so cheap that in addition to a super mug (which makes it even better! ..).
