Well, I'm back...lol

Long story short...Several months ago, I traded my AD30VT off for another amp, and sold that amp and got another, and sold that amp and got another...you get the idea. I did, along the way, settle on an old Fender Champ as a keeper.

I did something similar. I initially started with the AD100VT and wound up trading it in, trying another amp, etc....But later on wound up getting the AD50VT212 and installing a set of Celestion G12 Century Neos (which might sound crazy on an amp that cost $450 new), but the longer I have the amp, and in comparison to some of the others I've tried and played, I'm really liking the Valvetronix more and more. It sounds better than some of the production tube amps I've tried.

It really is just an awesome amp. You can get so many sounds out of these things...it's ridiculous really. I've heard so many other modeling amps (that were all completely solid state..even PODS and Toneports {although the Toneports are pretty nice too}), and they just do not even compare to the sounds you can get out of these things. Plus great sounding built in effects.

Bang for the buck, hype, yadda yadda yadda. If you want a good amp, and I mean good all around, the Vox AD series 30 and up are the way to go. LOTS of bang for the buck.

All you newer players and Fretters...get one folks...I know Robert really glamorizes them with his DolphinStreet site, but really...They ARE all that and a bag of chips...and more!!
