Have reached a good 8 / 10 reverb if there was ...

UTILIZATION

Very easy to use. One branch, it sets the amp, and the rest, we Sort this out with the guitar volume.

SOUNDS

The triode mode is very satisfactory for the low volume, but the lights do not issue all their subtlety in pentode mode where it gets really fine grain Vox. Sound is generally well defined even when the user pushes thick. I play it with a Gretsch Corvette and a Telecaster with a homemade set of microphones BKP "The Boss". I also had the opportunity to try it with a PRS "entry level" and I still saliva ... The amp is able to really respect the sound of each instrument. I use it with the small speaker designed to go with Vox, which has a 12 inch greenback. I would invest in the future probably in a 2x12 alnico blue hp equipped to take even better advantage. The clean sounds are good but it's really the crunch I'm thrilled. Thick mode allows serious distortion and quite readable but I think many might prefer to add a guitar distortion to have more control over the whole in terms of tones. It can provide much more substantial distortion than necessary in my case.

OVERALL OPINION

My goal was to dig up my amp that produces beautiful sounds crunch playing with the volume of the guitar, and I can use in an apartment without causing civil war. In addition to the night train, I also tried a Vox AC-15 (very disappointing), an AC-30CC2X (excellent but too powerful), a Fender Blues Junior (tweed version is excellent but no longer available, it would have been add the budget for the amp mod), a Peavey Classic 30 (very good but too powerful), and a Delta Blues from the same manufacturer (even better but same problem).
I hesitated a long time between Delta Blues Vox and head for very different reasons. Both models responded to my query and I can not forget the incredible heat from the sound of Peavey (an HP 15-inch and more lights). But I think the Vox is a bit more versatile, does not weigh a dead donkey, and many users of the Delta blues that despite the excellent sound of the amp complain of the problem of lamps that vibrate because of the media questionable quality. So I tried that in the immediate, assuming it was better to push a 15 watt that a bridle 30, the Vox would suit me best and I'm not disappointed! I keep still too little known the Delta Blues in a corner of your head if one day I would invest in something more powerful.
