Vox AD30VT sound video clip

[deeaa]

Finally made a clip of this amp...put in a Celestion, and it's pretty nice. Still doesn't really yield punchy rock/metal tones but nice clean/crunch and not a bad lead tone at all, IMO.

There were a few here who also had this amp...what speaker do you use?

You know, the more I play this amp now, the more I like it. I've now adjusted the EQ's quite a lot and I get the Vox cleans real nice now, quite jangly and nice crunch, but I also finally managed to get a real nice driven rhythm out of it. It just requires cutting the treble HEAVILY and also bass, and lots of mids added, but now I can get that too.

If only the thing had more than two sound settings saveable...It'd really be great if I could have the clean plus two drive settings. And the D/I out still isn't quite up to par...but anyway, I'm glad I swapped my li'l TM10 for this. The TM still has the best SS drive rhythm sound and D/I I know of IMO, but this is much nicer for home playing, lots more versatile.

I guess I have to start drawing on those setting sheets I printed out of the manual :-)

Sounds good.. I still want to try my VT50 with a 4x12 cab and see if the high gain models improve.

The high end on all high gain models and the Brian May model sounds too fizzy through the original speaker.

[deeaa]

Exactly...and it's not just that the speaker has lots of high end, it has lots of ultra-high frequencies too. I should think running music through it might sound pretty OK even...I guess it's tuned for modeler, not as guitar speaker so much.

Still a great sounding amph! I really dig your clips. I have played the 50 top with a 4x12 cab for some time and it sounded great. Guees that if you attach your cube to a cab you'll get some huge sound and can easily cover your metal and punk stuff!

Rock on Sauna-Boy :dude

Thanks! The clip is actually recorded in the Sauna foyer/rec room :-)

[SuperSwede]

Hehe no finnish household without a sauna eh?

[deeaa]

I suppose there's a lot of apartments without one, only a common one to which everyone has scheduled times to use it, plus biweekly common sauna nights.

But I do think these days they build saunas even in one-room apartments most often.

Makes me wish the US builders would wake up and make saunas commonplace.

Yeah, I really liked my AD30VT for cleans and bluesy drive, but I kept fighting it to try to get a hard rock/80s metal sound. Since that's my wheelhouse I had to look elsewhere. If I had no interest in hard rock or metal, I could have happily played my Cajun-equipped AD30VT forever.
