Hey man
I would go with the Line 6 myself.Dont get all caught up in the tube hype just cause you here other people saying it.Truth is there are many solid state amps that sound better than some tubes.I dont base my desicion on an amp just cause it has tubes or not,i base it on the sound quality and value.I think Line 6 you would be much more happy,get better bang for your buck,and as you listed 75watts compared to Vox's 30.I also dont even like Vox or Marshall I know many people are like your crazy but,i could never use one of there amps without effect pedal's .As to other's like Line 6,Crate,Fender,Mesa Boogie ect that i can just use there built in distortion and DSP effects. Bottom line is go by what sounds good and is dependable,not wether its a tube just imo.Its good to get other's advice but at the end of the day there not buying and playing the amp you are. Here's another good place to look at reviews http://reviews.harmony-central.com/reviews/Guitar+Amp . -------------------- My Gear
Cort X-2 electric with 24 frets and 2 humbucker's dark Blue Kustom DFX100 With Celestion Speakers,and thats it now (lol) My Advice Figure out what you want in life early.Wether it's the girl,the partying or mastering the guitar.Adding any 2 together will get in your way. |

The Line6 is just... too much. I don't like it. Havn't played the Vox but one of the smaller Roland cubes, can't recall which. Think it was the 15W cube which to me sounded great! The bigger models have more functions.
So I think you should add Roland to your list to choose from. -------------------- My bands homepage

Hay guy's maybe you can give a hack some advice....... I'm looking at a new Amp...... thinking either the Line 6 Spider III Modeling Combo 75w , or a Vox Valvetronix Ad30VT 30w.......... I've looked at theProduct reviews on Guitar Centers pages......The Vox has very mixed opinions ..while the Line 6 has hardley a bad opinion about it.....now why am I asking you guy's ? Cause I respect your opinions . I know we'll have a mixed camp of people saying don't bother with either , get a tube amp , but right now a modeling amp is probley just what I'm lookin for.......... so come on guy's...let me know what you think... THX in Advance.... D.O.G. I don't want to toot my own horn but I did a review of the AD30VT here at GMC https://www.guitarmasterclass.net/guitar_fo...?showtopic=5313 When I was buying my amp I also played a Line 6 Spider III (but not the 75W I think). Either way I did not like the tone of the Line 6. It seemed a bit to digital for me. The Vox has some effects and amp settings aswell that are very digital sounding but in all I was very impressed with it.....thus why I bought it I'd also take into concereration what type of music you play. If your a shedder and a big metal player the Vox may not be to your liking. However Vox has addressed this issue with a new XL line in the Valvetronix series that is suppose to be geared more towards harder music. I personally haven't played one but I hear they are pretty great. I know I'm a bit bias but for a practice amp I'm very happy with my Vox. Hope this helped you out a bit and if you have any specific questions about the Vox I'd be happy to try and answer. rok |
