Current Favorite Valvetronix Amph Model

[tot_Ou_tard]

I've been hanging out with the AD15 model for the past 2-3 weeks.

(On my Tonelab, I use the AD30 cab model rather than the AD15 cab model).

Previously it was the Tweed 4x10 & before that the Tweed 1x12 & before that the Black 2x12 & before that it was the Boutique Clean.

I didn't realize it before, but I guess I'm moving clockwise around the dial.

I'll call home when I get to Boutique OD .

I never save patches, I just pretend it's an amph. It's just that just which amph it is slowly changes with time .

I'll have to name the two I've saved in the memory slots on my AD50VT.

Tweed 4x10 set on edge of breakup for cleans. I like this for its warm round bottom and top but with enough midrange to make my tele's back pickup honk a little. It doesn't need a compressor for country picking, just hit the strings a bit harder for natural squish.

AC15 with gain and treble pushed a bit for drives that clean up nicely from the guitar and bloom sweetly.

i haven't really used my vox much lately (especially since i got the rp250)

when i do i am usually on the left side of the amp models....

i'm actually thinking of selling it....

I also stay primarily on the left side. I have my RP hooked up to the the amp and I've been getting some nice sound out of it.

Since I practice/play in a small room (10x11) I have no use for a tube amp, so I will keep using the Vox. I did a lot of playing around with the effects and combined them with some of the left side amps. I initially had my foot switch set up so I could play the preset amps with preselected effect or bypass. I have since changed it to presets or manual.

I use my Tonelab with headphones (like you use the rp250) waaay more than I use the AD30VT. I use the Fender Champion 600 more than the AD30VT too, but I'm not still gonna sell the AD30VT .

i've got the vox but also have a valve jr and a classic 20 along with the rp250....seems like overkill....plus i was thinking about one of those fender champion 600's....so maybe i sell the valve jr.....it's an unmodded "version 1" so it has that hum....i don't know....i have a hard time selling equipment

I should'a known that this would'a happened. As soon as I mention my current favorite model all the other models get jealous & I am down in the basement tweaking the titties out of the tonelab.

I'll be back in a coupl'a days .

....i have a hard time selling equipment

Yeah, I've never sold a piece of gear, but that's because I use everything that I have.

I also don't have the chops yet to really check the gear out. I've had the happy experience of getting a little bit better & discovering that my gear sounds better than I thought. So in the meantime, I plan on getting to know the stuff that I have.

& NO, I *did not* say I wasn't gonna buy new gear until I am a much better player.

SHEEZE! That'd be wacko.

Love the UK 80's for all the rock stuff. Sounds good with either single coils or HBs.
For cleans, I dig the Tweed (but anything on that side of the dial will do)

[marnold***]

UK70s and Blackface for me.

[scgmhawk]

UK80's and Tweed and Boutique OD

[SuperSwede]

Tot, have you been able to make anything useful out of the recto model? I never could get that one to sound good.

My absolute fav on the tonelab must be the 1x12 Tweed.

SS, I haven't really tried. Like I said, I haven't explored it to any depth. If I get a sound that I'm happy with, I stick with it (with minor tweaks) for a long time & focus on practicing.

Yes, I've spent the most time with the 1 x 12 Tweed. I think it must be the emulated 6V6s.

[Ro3b]

90% if the time I'm using Black 2x12, with or without my OCD in front of it. I like UK Modern for the very occasional high-gain stuff.

[Robert****]

I use a different model depending on my needs. The ones I use the most are Tweed 410, AC30, UK70, Boutique OD.

[Mr Grumpy]

Current Fave is the AC15, set for a bit of crunch at full guitar volume so I can clean up when I turn it down a bit. OD pedal to add the noise.

Other likes, in no particular order, BTQ clean, Tweed 4 x 10, UK80s. BTQ OD is good but Ive not really explored its possibilities as yet

[tot_Ou_tard]

Currently on my Tonelab: Boutique Clean through the VOX AC30 cab, very nice.

As far as I can tell, the goop has not been modeled.

Gotta get me a Dumble some day & put vintage Celestion Blues in it.


Previously Tweed 1x12 & Black 2x12 through their eponymous cabs.

[R_of_G]

Tweed with the Tremolo effect sounds nice for me, much like Ribot on Waits' "Dead and Lovely" or some of the Cubanos Postizos stuff like "Aurora En Pekin"

[duhvoodooman***]

I always seem to come back to the Tweed 4x10 on my AD30VT. Guess that means I need to start looking around for a '59 Bassman, huh?
