Man, do you know how many people have seen you play some stuff out of one of these things and then go out and buy one? There's no way to really know, but I bet the figure would be astounding.

I had already pretty much decided to buy one & then saw Robert's videos & that was that: Done Deal.

By the way, I think that Vood & I are unusual in finding out about The Fret through the pachtronix (a Vox Valvetronix) forum rather than through Dolphinstreet.

Yes, you are unusual. . . . .

sorry, just woke up. Early morning humor.

Actually, that's how I found TheFret, as well...through patchtronix. :

Oh man, so if I happen to choose the Roland Cube30x over the Vox AD30VT... am I going to have to keep it a secret from you Gents?

I did go to the store last week to demo one (Vox), but the sound room was occupied and I couldn't hang out any longer. I will give both consideration though.

Question for ALL you Vox users... I think I saw a dial on the back of the amp to drop the wattage. Is this really useful for getting 'driven' sounds at low output levels?

Cheers!

Absolutely...one of my favorite features.

If you were looking at one of these, and are also considering a Roland Cube, I'll bet 5 bucks you would like the Vox more...almost every online instance of the modeling amp debate, people recommend the Vox over all the others.

Get it...you will love it! So versatile, and sounds so good...

I've seen very knowledgable people in a forum prefer the Roland. People are looking for different things. The one thing that the Cubes have is a nice JC-120 model (duh-it's a Roland).

I purchased my AD30VT about 6 months ago and did a lot of research and took in a lot of advise. Not knowing anything about amps, I was at the mercy of people I respected and the reviews I read. This thread just continues to confirm I made the right decision.

I imagine they are just like guitars and you may never be completely happy, but this amp takes care of my needs.

Algonquin, to answer your question - yes. I use it late at night when everyone is asleep and I retain the sound that I would have at 30 watts. Sure it isn't screaming at me, but it gives me true feedback of what I am trying to obtain. Make sense? Sorry, no technical garble from this beginner.

The dial on the back allows you to choose what output level you wish to play at. The value can be from 1 watt up to the 30 watts as advertised. Actually, anything about 20-25 watts is too loud for the amplifier. Everything begins to shake and vibrate. Extra little bits of good information is to keep the amp off the floor for better sound and to try and keep the handle up away from the top of the box. This minimizes vibration also. A speaker change will do wonders for it's tone. I am sure daVooDoo will add his own findings on the AD30VT.
