Vox AD100VT Valvetronix Guitar Combo Amplifier (100 Watts, 2x12 in.)

Feature:
The footswitch for this amp is a must have, but is not included... but the the amp is good enough that it is a trade off. The amp seems to be very well constructed for an amp in this price range. It has a rugged metal grille and the control surface is on top and recessed for extra protection. It is a bit heavy but most stage combo's are.The treble, mid, and bass controls are not as responsive as I would like but ya can't have everything. Again a tube amp for this price... Come on it rocks.

Quality:
The amp looks very tough and rugged to me. The plastic logo is kind of cheesy, but the grille rocks. I use this amp on the road, but I would advise a road case with wheels because of the weight.The amp looks great, and so far no break downs. A very giggable stage amp.

Value:
I do not think that there is a stage amp that compares to this one for the price.

Desirability:
pure and simple, I use amps for tone, not how they look. This amp does look good, but I think for the price the tone is exceptional.

Sound:
I was about to purchase the 100 watt Fender solid state amp, but after plugging into this one I knew it was a must. This amp is extreamly giggable, and has the power to get above the other instruments in a full band type situation. If you are a country/pop/rock player this amp will delight your ears. The amp so great by itself, but tends to be a tad bassie when sitting on a the floor. I think with some type of Iso pad, that might fix itself. The varitable power selector makes it great in the studio when you don't need 100 watts but you do want to move a little air. The effects are pretty good, but can become complicated when trying to manipulate them during a gig to dial in your sound. I found that I spent more time on the gig fishing for the sound and twiddiling knobs, then I spent playing music. The fix for this is to use stomp boxes of get the optinal footswitch, show up for the gig early, dial in the room and save it as a preset. All in all this amp has great tonal qualities and with patients you can tweak and dial in your sound quite nicely. At the gig, you will want to mic the amp so that the other players can hear you in the monitor mix, and to add a little depth in the house mix.

Support:
Have not needed to contact the company as of yet.

Overall:
I hope that I don't have to look for another amp anytime soon. I am hopeful that I will learn this amp backwards and forward and dial in the sound that is pleasing to me. I hope that the thing holds up for a long while.

Feature:
The amp models are exceptional

Quality:
Built like a tank

Value:
Dollar for dollar nothing comes close to this amp.

Desirability:
Just look at it

Sound:
At volume this amp is dead on. I moved from a fender twin to this amp because I needed something more reliable. I play allot of shows and from transporting my twin every other day its takin a beating. I got to the point that I had to by a small Crate amp just for back up. Not any more. This amp sounds great and has enough power to play anywhere.

Ease of Use:
The effects are fine most of the time but send loop is perfect. I love the tone of this amp.

Support:
Dunno, but I hear they are great when needed

Overall:
I read all the the reviews and said to myself come on it cant be that good. I went to the local music store and tried it out. It is that good. I came right home logged into Zzsounds and bought it. My wife was upset untill she heard it. She hates how much money I spend on my playing. She has not said a bad thing to me all week ;)
