I've been re-discovering my 1X12 cheese grater, AKA The Vox Valvetronix AD50VT.
I really think the AC15 model is probably the best of the bunch.
Takes a pedal too. I tried out my Brownie overdrive/distortion, setting it more like a boost/overdrive, and it does a fine job.
Louder sounds better (as with most amps, right?). But I had to be considerate of "non guitarists" in the family :)

Yes, any amph will sound MUCH better this way. :)

That sounds really nice. Funny that the Brownie didn't add much other than a little boost, at least in the section I saw. I thought that was a higher-gain pedal.

Right you are Eric. The pedal screams high gain Marshall if you want. In the clip I had the level control almost maxed, and the gain control very low...no more than 9oclock. Thanks for listening.

Very nice... and very tubey. I like! 'Course I'm a solid state / modeler fanboy, too. The Valvetronix technology in there sounds great.

Perhaps you'd like my VT30 (http://www.thefret.net/showthread.php/19886-Marshall-Class-5-Vox-VT30-Yamaha-Acoustic-(CPX-5VS)?p=221420) then. ;-)

Lol... Methinks it would cost too much to send from Canadia to Tejas... Not to mention that I'm currently broke, and my wife would kill me. ;-)

Three very valid reasons! :)

It still had me wondering, "If it was a slow death, would I still be able to play a few lines on the AC30 setting?"
