    Default MF Sale - Vox DA-5 for $99.99

    Two different colors - White and New Red are on sale at $99.99 - this amp is normally $139.99 - I have one in a now discontinued color - Camo :

    If you can take having a White or Red amp - this is a great bargin. These are great for just practicing and taking anywhere - I use mine everywhere in the house, and outdoors - like the deck, or up on a hill under a tree.

    It has some really nice amp sounds, and some good effects. I think it is worth more than the $139 I paid for mine, and at $99 it is a steal. :

    I just went to GC and a/b'd the DA-5 and Roland Cube and liked the DA-5 better myself. It is probably on my birthday list, but that is not til October! Well, I will just wait and see if there is a deal around then.

    The DA-5 has more models than the Microcube, adjustable effects and a bigger speaker, what's not to like? The attenuator works really well too and on 1/4 power the batteries last ages. If I still had one I'd buy a load of C size battery converters and use rechargeable AA's.
    I mostly left mine on the AC15 (Blues 2 on the DA-5) with gain and tone at about 3 o'clock and used the guitar volume to go between clean and drive. It worked remarkably well for an amp the size of a shoebox.

    Acoustic: Guitar > microphone > audience
