Line 6's flextone got worse after they reworked it. I cross my fingers that Vox does better, now that I am so impressed with the quality of these amphs.
:
looks like a replacement for the AD**VT's with 22 amps, 66 presets, 8 user presets. Looks a lot more versatile than the old AD**VT's/

Looks like it could be pretty cool and address some issues with the original AD**VT series, especially the number of user presets. I like the fact that reverb is always available regardless of the other effect settings. My concern without seeing the whole control layout is that it could become more confusing than it already is.

Is the new Express Train model based on a Trainwreck?
I'll have to take a peek at the manual to figure out how the models knob:
works with two models for each bullet. It must be that button in the upper green.
I'll bet that A:Green is the upper model & B Red is the lower one.

Express Train model description from the manual, interesting.Originally Posted by tot_Ou_tard
"This models a wood-finished 30W boutique amp head that cost more than $25,000. It
delivers sparkling glassy clean tones, and raising the gain will produce overdrive
sounds that are startlingly sweet in a musical way."
It also has tweed Deluxe and Twin models for a bit more Fendery nuance and (hurrah) they've separated the reverb from the other effects.

I've really got to liking my Vox AD50VT 212 the longer I've owned it. These are impressive, and look like a step up from the previous versions, but again, the same speakers. Why not upgrade the speaker to a Neo? Also, why did they keep the same cheese grater grilles?? I like the fact too that these amps (oops, I mean amphs!) offer more presets? Also, I wish they would add the effects loop to the 50 watter too!
Other than that, looks really cool. The Black Diamond will be the flagship model apparently, at a screaming 200 watts.

Hey, I _like_ the cheese grater! Not only is cheese a cherished way of life up here in artery-clogged Wisconsin, it keeps the speaker nice and safe from the feet of small children.

The 15 and 30 are suppose to be available end of October and the 30 has a MSRP of $375.00. What is the adjustment on amps for street value?

According to Musician's Friend the old model AD30VT has an MSRP of $350.00 & now sells for $249.00. So I'd say that that the VT30 might sell for $274.00.Originally Posted by just strum
Anyone lusting for an AD series amph should keep their eyes peeled for a blowout.

That Black Diamond is supposed to be a really awesome amp and this whole series of amps has been highly protected behind a heavy curtain of secrecy.
Supposedly the industry is very highly competitive with survival being something that is very important and the development of a new amph from the ground up is not a light endeavor. I'm sure they constantly reverse engineer each other's stuff regularly.
I'd buy a blow out Cheese Grater 50 or 50 two twelve or 100, definitely, if the price was right, which it probably will be. I love my little DA5 and it isn't even a valvetronix.
I did some repairs on my DA5 the other night. The power plug jack was not working. I took it apart, the cabinet, and spotted some broken solder joints at the power plug jack and heated it up and added a small amount of new solder. The I notices some semi microscopic breaks in the trace right at the same spot and heated them up gently with a pencil fifteen watt weller iron. Added a small amt of solder and it works great. I almost always use flux. Flux will greatly, greatly help you with your soldering jobs if you are just learning how to solder.
Flux is a paste that when brushed on the joint to be soldered burns off rapidly when you hit the area with a hot soldering iron. It burns off impurities, oil, etc., and prepares the solder joint to accept solder for optimum adherence, then you apply some very thin solder and it flows and sticks well instead of beading up and rolling off.
Also, flux core solder, a good thing, is NOT a substitute for using brush on paste flux.
I have been soldering before I knew how to read and I'm still not a master. If you can solder, you can fix a lot of things and put in new pups, etc.
I'd love one of those Black Diamonds but will settle for a blow out chromie 50 or preferably 100. Should have gotten a AD60VTX back when I was looking at them. I guess these are what the Black Diamond is replacing due to design improvements suggested from various quarters.
