    Different strokes for different folks, I guess. To me, the VJr is all about getting dirty! Love that saturated Class A tone. If I want clean, I find that my Delta Blues or one of the clean models on the AD30VT (the Boutique Clean, in particular) give me more of what I'm after. It's all personal preference....

    Its not that the VJ produces a better clean....I also have a DB 1x15 and the cleans are awesome on that.....its so you can get a really good clean at a level that you don't have to turn the preamp on the board up you can get a really solid level in for recording....it also makes it the end all be all for pedals, considering it doesn't get dirty(not even really dirty) till pick attack is A-bomb strength and the Vol. is all the way up.

    I'll try it... was leaning to this anyways.. I put an old Harmony tube in mine to make it cleaner.. but still not all the way...

    just want tube "clean".. will let the pedals make the noise... umm thats why I bought them..

    So, whats the best one and place to buy... link?

    and thanks!
