Not what I was hoping for, but VOX has a new high gain/extreme series of valvetronix modeling amps. I suppose that this is to compete for the spider's money.

High gain? Ahh, dat's no godt for me! Although I respect metal heads 100%!

I don't like them very much and -frankly- don't see the point. But I understand they have to cover every niche of the market, so...
*risks life and limb*
Ummm....I'm actually kind of interested in them and how they sound.
Here's the thing I definitely DON'T like: what is it with companies that feel the need to make stupid names for things, like the amp models here? I mean, c'mon....Damaged? Buzzsaw? I think these are a bit out of the range of your average 9 year old. Who does Vox think they are now....DOD/Digitech?
Anyway, I may be playing a lot of different things these days, but I still gots the metal in my blood. I personally wouldn't mind a nice little amp with a good sound to get some riffs on now and again. I'm gonna have to hear these things out.

As for creating a high gain (up to ridiculously high gain) tone, IMHO you have a better chance by using a multiple gain stage pedal, like the MI-Audio Tube Zone, or even, a number of different pedals in series. If, OTOH you have to have the "exact" sound that (e.g.) a triple-Recto has, then those amps are a valid alternative to a good pedalboard.
As a metalhead, I'm happy to see these. I like the bigger speaker idea and the octave effect. I'll have to check them out, although I don't think I'll be giving up on my AD30VT anytime soon. I'd rather spend the money on putting a Celestion G10 in there.
