I rehearse with my blues band in a room that we hire from time to time. It belongs to a music school and is fully equipped. Until yesterday they had a Marshall JCM 900, but somehow they changed into a Vox Valvetronix. I thought, hey that's fine because I always wanted to test the Valvetronix series.
I now understand your "hype" about this amp :bravo:
It is a great amp and the best thing about it is that it really get through the mix when you play with a band. That is the lack of so many digital amphs - they are great for bedroom players but in a band situation they kind of lack the power and warmth to get through.
The Vox did a great job here. I played the Black 2x12 Model. It could have sounded a little more fenderish, but it was good anyway. Very tube-like not sterile. I liked the simplicity of the panel.
I could imagine getting one of these sooner or later.
I have also checked the other models during rehearsal break when the other guys went for a smoke. They all sounded convincing.
I would say this amp is a better buy for the buck than the Line6 Flextone.
:AOK:
