Thanks for the input guy's.
I did the trade a few days ago for the vt50, very happy with that.
I don't need 50 watts, the 30 would have been more than plenty, but the larger cabinet, 12" and aux. speaker output sold me.

Congrats Ted, I want one of those too... So how do you think it compares with the older ADxxVT?
I can't say that I've given up on a flanger cause I've never liked the effect either. I also can't say the same about Tremolo. I hate them both equally. - Tone2TheBone 2009

Well, so far.. way more models, same simplicity. As mentioned before, this one has a 12" while my old one was 10", so there sounds to be much more bottom end. I had today off and spent time with it. Loud crunch is good...
Huh ? what ?
Custom Deluxe
Nice, gotta try to find one then!

If you are going to go modeling, I agree with everyone here...take another look at the Vox VT series or find a nice used AD50VT.
I liked my Line 6 Flextone III XL when I had it, but the Vox modelers have a little bit more life to them in my opinion. The Flextone isn't bad by any means, but the Vox is more dynamic.
Guitars: 2003 and 2004 American series strats, Squier Classic Vibe 50's Strat, Squier Deluxe Strat.
Amps: Line 6 Spider IV 120, Vox AD50VT 212, and Peavey Transtube Bandit 112.

I'll vote for the Roland Cubes personally. My Cube 60 has become a favourite at the local jam as an amp which is easy to dial in quickly and has enough punch to carry through the mix. Add basic, easy access effects and it's great in a rapidly changing covers situation.
Electric: Fat strat > Korg PB > TS7 > DS1 > DD-20 > Cube 60 (Fender model)
Acoustic: Guitar > microphone > audience
