saturn Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Not sure, but I think you're refering to a Vox AD-50VT. I own one myself and here's my opinion of it: Pros * Great tones are available from very low to extremely high volumes. * Wide variety of tones from classic to metal * Not too heavy to lug around * Great price Cons * Not so easy to switch tones in mid song or "on the fly" * Some of the amp models are very bassy/muddy IMO and you need to really set the treble on 9 or 10 * It's a little tricky to get a totally clean sound. Really, the only amp model I've found that stays pristine clean at high volumes is the Boutique Clean setting (Dumble clone) * Although the tones are very good, I can still hear a little of that "transistery"sound. Bottom line, great home amp, but I wouldn't want to gig with it unless I was going to pretty much leave it on the same setting all night. Edit: Man that was wierd.

Mark Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 My local pawn shop has 2 Vox 100v @ $199 and $220. The 199 for cosmetic reasons. I think I am going to pick one up. I have a small DA now and love it. Saturn makes a great point about adjustmets on the fly, but I don't do any pro gigs so its really not an issue for me.

Thundergod Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Are you talking about the AC50 or the AD50-VT? Or some out of production model? Anyway... if it's VOX it's worth it Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dub-T-123 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Vox and Marshall are just different. Can't really say ones better than the other. They both have their different strong points. Personally I prefer Vox. I was gonna get a NightTrain for a while, but I realized I would be better off with a Vox AC30CC2. I'd completely happy with the CC1 but I guess I'd just rather have the CC2.

dvir Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 thank you dub t 123 so what do you recommender for blues, jess,clasic rock. the marshall or the vox? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 It depends on what amps you're talking about. If you're talking about the valvestate modeling Vox amps vs. solid state MG series Marshalls then I'd go with the Vox. Personally I don't like digital modeling. I'd rather have an amp that sounds amazing but only does a few things than an amp that does a million decent sounds. Vox and Marshall both have some pretty inexpensive all tube combos. The new Marshall Class 5 looks perfect for your needs. Vox has some great relatively cheap tube amps also. I don't know the names of the Vox I'm thinking of. What is your budget?

dvir Posted November 29, 2009 Author Share Posted November 29, 2009 thank you so mutch do you eccomender that i am go to guitar store and chack yhe amps? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Absolutely. I also recommend you bring your main guitar in to test the amps. That way you know what your guitar will sound like through it if you buy it. Try out as many amps as you can. You might be surprised by what you like. I recommend a simple all tube combo.

surfpup Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 thank you so mutch do you eccomender that i am go to guitar store and chack yhe amps? No, that's a waste of time. You should just order the one endorsed by your favorite player from an online mega-store. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am looking to get a Night Train and hope it isn't that one..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cookieman15061 Posted November 29, 2009 Share Posted November 29, 2009 Saturn is right about the ad -50vt. I like it for home practice because I can fiddle with the effects and dont have pedals cluttering my floor. Its also nice to have the wattage knob in the back so I can turn down the output without losing my gain and distortion or my wife. I gig with my fender.
