I agree with the other posts you need a booster. My signal is this, tuner, bogner red overdrive, mad prof golden cello, wa and seymor pu booster. This set up can do any gig I have depending if I engage the booster or not. channel 2 od (most drive setting) great for rockin blues even santana type stuff with boost Clean with bogner killer zz top acdc type tones golden cello ch 2 boost hendrix trower Clean boost great country or jazz tones. The problems are no effects loop..no ext speaker out (unless you want to dampen the 2 12s and they sound great so why unless you want to run a 4 12) verb lacks a more lush effect but this can be worked around. All in all a killer amp for just about any gig and a great price get one you won't regret it.

well we guitarists are always looking for the tone right? But I think this will be my go to amp for a long time what I like most is value ease of operation least verb no effects loop
Sound
imo a booster is essential and really makes the amp come alive. Both channels are very musical and drive 2 when pushed some is real ACDC land I wish it had an effects loop and the verb was alittle more fender like but other than that this thing really rocks Vox did thier homework
Ease of Use
sounds are very easy to get This is not a loud amp but when the vol is pushed it really sings
Quality
seems good all the way around I use it on the road and for local gigs I would get another if this one was stolen or damaged I have many amps I was using a fender hot rod but its too loud for alot of venues and a bit bright for my style the vox is much warmner
Manufacturer Support
no problems
The Wow Factor
beautiful looking amp and the sound matches the looks

i have a feeling a long time yes i would buy another one or i might buy a newer model with improved features if the price was reasonable
Sound
First this is not a really loud amp but..put a seymor duncan pickup booster in your chain and look out...beautiful clean tone the overdrive 2 rocks when set about half with a booster handles pedals well not as bright as a fender but i have played fenders alot and wanted something more like this
Features
here it falls a bit short there is no effects loop which is a drag and i feel the 2 overdrives should be footswitchable other than that its built for work and it really delivers looks fantastic also
Ease of Use
no brainer just plug in and tweak until you can't stop playing
Quality
seems well made i use it on the road and would buy another in a second if this went down my favorite amp i have ever owned
Value
amazing value really sounds close to an ac30 but weighs 30 lbs less and you don't have to play it at monster dbs to get a smokin tone
Manufacturer Support
bout it at AMS great people gave me a monster deal
The Wow Factor
beautiful looking amp one of the most attractive combos out there and its not just a pretty face it rocks and rocks hard

active tour

"*** Great Amp ***"
im not selling this amp.
Sound
the Vox sounds great and is pretty responsive without tubes in the power section,i was actually shocked when i played on it... Has a sweet grit side and a added gain button or some extra nasty,you keep your tone when u use the extra gain,the preamp tubes do a A+ job on this amp... I like the reverb because it has a wide range and really sounds good on bluesy riffs...
Features
Reverb,Extra Gain+ both are great on this amp
Ease of Use
the amp sounds great and is easy to set up,, i to wish it had a effects loop,that would be nice...
Quality
Built like a tank,3 handles on the top makes transport easy...
Value
this amp is worth the money,if you get a chance to play on it,go 4 it-great small gig amp,it will surprise you...
Manufacturer Support
no probs at all,Vox built this amp rite!!!
The Wow Factor
its a sexy lil amp ... nice ront cover with gold trim and a white trim that fills the seems,, nice top mounted knobs that are hidden outta site unless your standing rite over it,makes it look very sweet...
