Great review! Pretty much sums up the Vox AD~VT range.
I have the 50watt version and from the sounds of it I am just as happy with it as you are. -------------------- Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day. Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way http://www.myspace.com/cashnz |

Great review. I don't think you could have done a better review, if you were a "gear head"
Great job. Maybe I'll check this amp out at my local music shop. Thanks. |

Nice review Rok, (I liked the color scheme - very tasteful!). Also liked the technical deatail and interspersed opinions - a very balanced and informative review. If we had a few more like this I'd start to feel pretty confident about going out and buying an amp - at the moment I have no clue (apart from the Vox Adt30vt!)

I have that same amp....
Great for effects and stuff, but not very versatile to the modern age. I can handle the stuff upto 90's like blues, some old school punk and metal. The sad thing which i wanted out of this amp is high distortion for the new age punk and metal. Effects are just mind blowing, but i do regret why i didnt buy line 6 spideIII 75 watt. Anyone who has this amp, can you please post the settings you use to get some good distortion sound... Thanks note: I think this is the best vox review on the net This post has been edited by jammer91: Jul 18 2007, 01:02 PM -------------------- _____________________________________________________
Part of the key to success is to never call yourself good... My RIg: -Epiphone 1967 FLying V -Line 6 POD XT live -VOX Valvetronics AD30VT -Yamaha EG-112 -Yamaha GA-10 -Some Yamaha acoustic which is a magnet to dust under my bed End World Hunger |

Anyone who has this amp, can you please post the settings you use to get some good distortion sound... Thanks note: I think this is the best vox review on the net Hey jammer91.....for distortion I usually use the Nu Metal amp preset (sounds the sharpest to me) and just crank everthing eles up on full with the exception of the middle which I usually set at around the 10- 12 o Clock postition. I sometimes use the Chorus+reverb effect aswell but not all the time. Master volume at the 9 O'clock position.(but I usually don't play a lot of heavy distortion) If your looking for a specific sound for a certain song say you kinda have to play around with it but I found this site about a month ago (it's where I found the setting for distortion) and it's pretty cool. I still found I had to tweek a bit as somethings didn't sound right to me but it gets ya started on the right path. http://www.valvetronix.net/valvetronix/AD1...l_1_date_1.html Hope this helps ya out a bit. rok by the way thanks for the cudos. I know you have this amp so it means that much more. This post has been edited by rokchik: Jul 18 2007, 01:55 PM |
