Hey Guys

I searched our local second hand site and I found a VOX Valvetronix AD50VT for 200 euros. I really like the idea with the power knob on the back, so I can pump it The thing I like less is all the effects, but I could bypass the effects and only use the amp modeling..


is 200 euros a good deal for that amp?

UPDATE 1: Hughes & Ketther 2x 8o Watt 225 euros... A bit loud for my room

I have the AD30VT and it's a great little amp. The power knob in the back does come in handy for sure, and yes you can bypass the effects very easily if don't wish to use them. Vox is no longer making this line as far as I know, at least that's what I read somewhere I could be wrong. But they are great amps for sure. As for the price it seems reasonable but I can't remember what they were going for when they first cam out. I got my amp for about $250 canadian which I think is around $ 150 euro... my conversion may be wrong

i just bought the Vox ad50vt-XL version its 2x12 and it is supposed to have more gain and what not...


i paid $300 for it new, i think thats either the same or a tiny bit more!

im going to post a video review of it this weekend!

oh, and the effects on mine are pretty nice...this modeler though doesnt not sound like one! its very unique!

Would this vox be a nice upgrade when coming form a Kustom Arrow 16 (16 Watt, distortion channel, clean channel, one EQ)

oh yeah...its got a tube pre amp so you get some really nice sounds....like i said, im posting a video review sunday..

i was using a line6 spider 2 and a line6 tone port before this amp, and let me tell you this one blows them both out of the water!

I've played this amp in the studio and it is a good amp. Has some flexibility and can pack a punch. I'm not sure about the condition tho Kaz, you should definitely try it before you buy.

Always

Yeah, definitely try it out first, but if it's fine, I think it's a pretty good deal

If the amp is in good shape, then it's definetly a good offer. The Vox AD's rock!

It's possible that I can get an appointment tonight, and my pa is fine with the driving, but only if I buy something Now the pressure rises If I think the amp is crap I'm not gonna buy it, and I"m gonna bring my own guitar, but I guess it's quite good
