SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
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. 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. Manufacturer Support: Have not needed to contact the company as of yet. The Wow Factor: 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. 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.

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. Feature: The amp models are exceptional Ease of Use: The effects are fine most of the time but send loop is perfect. I love the tone of this amp. Quality: Built like a tank Value: Dollar for dollar nothing comes close to this amp. Manufacturer Support: Dunno, but I hear they are great when needed The Wow Factor: Just look at it 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 ;)

SPOTLIGHT REVIEW
Sound: I was investing in one of the best sounding amps I've ever heard, The Hughes and Kettner Switchblade until I heard this thing. I could achieve a metal tone almost identical to the switchblade. I love this thing sooo much!! Price wise, I probably saved 2 grand and get a sick sound. A real bassy but skull crushing distortion on the Nu-Metal distortion, great for progressive metal stuff. Almost a similar tone to the Fender Metal Head. The clean channel is amazing crystal clear quality as well. So many different channels with tubed sound. Way WAY better than Line 6 in my opinion. Feature: SOOO many effects and amp models for the price. AGAIN, GREAT TONE! You can save so much money if you invest in one of these bad boys. 100 watts will do the trick for any gig or practice. I only wish there were more channels than 2, but it's not like I use them all anyway... Did I mention sick distortion? Ease of Use: This amp is extremely easy to figure out. I learned the whole thing in a couple of minutes at my guitar store. Although there's a ton of options the whole amp is really self-explanitory. Quality: Really well built! I've taken this around for practices and shows and there's not a difference from when I took it out of the box. Only thing I disliked was the plastic VOX logo on the front but O Well! Value: This product is the best amp on the market for the price! Manufacturer Support: Great Support from VOX. They handled the warranty card fast, were friendly and dealt with the product very positively. The Wow Factor: Great lookin, sick sound, built like a tank. Overall: I love this thing... It's my new child.

Sound: You can pretty much get any sound out of it you want. I mainly play blues/rock music, and I even use the "UK Modern" amp type (tweaked a little of course) just cause it sounds that good. The boutique clean is amazing and is perfect for things like srv's "lenny" and Hendrixs "the wind cries mary"....overall awesome tone Feature: everyones knows it has 11 amp types and 11 effects...im not big on the effects..the reverb is pretty cool though...the 11 amp types make up for this by far,though. I wouldve given it a 10, but no footswitch... Ease of Use: Just read the manual...I didnt, thats why some of its still complicated...but when I decide to read it, im sure it will be very easy to use. Quality: Its seems as solid as a brick wall, a small brick wall I guess!? Wear and tear is univoidable if your gigging with it regularly,but it seems like it will be around for a looooonnnnnnnnng time. Value: Best amp for the money...I compared this to a few Laneys, a few fenders,marshalls,line 6,peavey,roland,etc etc blah blah blah.... This amp was and is still the best ive heard so far. Manufacturer Support: I haven't needed them thus far...Knocking on wood. The Wow Factor: It looks badass...Ill probably spraypaint the grille black, but thats just me...as it is though, looks pretty awesome Overall: The only mistake I made with gettin this amp was not buying the footswitch with it...its loud....no,you dont understand....very very very very loud....Loud, as in half my block steps outside,because they dont know what the hells going on...Thats why I got the 2x12...it maintains its tone while lettin the whole neighborhood know whos boss.

Sound: I love this amp, I had the cash to buy any amp I wanted in guitar center, I tried the line 6, bogner, egnator, really just about everything. I settled on the Vox. It has the sound I was looking for without the really high price tag. I will be keeping this amp for a very ling time. Feature: I wish they included the foot pedal controller, I dont have the pedal yet but will be getting one. other wise everything is layed out for really ease of use. I have no regrets on my choice. Ease of Use: Its very easy to get your sound dialed in on this amp, the onboard effects are easy to blend in perfectly with the sound and stay sounding really good at high volumes. Quality: Very well built amp and I don't expect to have any problems. you can tell its all quality parts and fit and finish couldn't be better. they build there amps like they are building it for thereselves. very nice. Value: the best amp for the money you can buy, keeps up with the high dollar amps easily or better. Manufacturer Support: never had to use it, but have heard they are excellent. The Wow Factor: The amp I think has a very appealling presence on stage. very professional visual appeal Overall: I expect to be using this amp for a very long time.

Sound: Great variety of tones to chose from. I do find the clearer channels to be a little lacking in a rich tone. It's a little thin sounding. The overdrive channels sound wonderful though. This amp definately cranks. My solo's really ring through the band noise on stage. Feature: A host of amp models and effects. This is a great studio amp as you can get hundreds of different sounds from this amp. Ease of Use: Again a great studio amp but it's on stage ease of use is a bit lacking. I purchased the foot pedal which came with a very short chord that only reaches about half way to the front of most stages. I find my self going back to my amp between most songs to make adjustments to my sound. Quality: I haven't had any problems mechanically with it so far. It appears to be ruggedly built. Value: A lot of amp for the price. Manufacturer Support: I have not dealt with their support team. The Wow Factor: A lot of people have dogged the look of this amp but I think it looks kind of tough. Overall: I plan to own this amp for at least the next 5 years.

Sound: For this price range it comes with the best sounds you could find. Feature: Just take a look at the different amps and effects this has and them compare any amp at this price. Ease of Use: Pretty easy to use, controling the effects takes some time though. Quality: Nearly industructable, i do damage most of my amps but this one has taken a beating, its like a freaken tank! Value: This amp is by far one of the best deals you can get PERIOD. Manufacturer Support: Had a slight problem with the nut flying off cause my friend had a 4' cord and thought he could run 30' away... as you can guess it didn't work. They offered suggestions and sent a new nut to me got it in the mail in a few days. The Wow Factor: Sure the plastic logo is a bit... chessy, but the metal grill is hot. Overall: Perfect amp, by a very nice company for a goddly price, what more could you want?

Back to Product Information
Sound: The sound quality of the amp is generally very good. Takes a while to get used to it, but once you do you can get the best tone this side of a vintage valve amp. It easily stands up to amps far more expensive than itself, ive never used it on full power and Ive played in big halls. Even used it in the studio to record with and it gives a clear, distinct tone. So many features, effects, models etc. One for every style of music. I think this is one of the best amps on the marker today for under £500, and thats saying, theres some great competition from the likes of Marshall, Orange and Peavey. Feature: Didnt come with any accesories apart from what you need (power lead). Feature wise, I tend to steer clear of most of the effects, because although theyre ok, theyre not as good as pedals. The amp models however are fantastic, accurately representing amps from the 50s to today. From great clean tones through to metal sounds, overdrives and modern distortions. UK Modern, AC30 and Boutique Overdrive are my personal favs. Also, the magic knob on the back (wattage limiter) always draws attention. Ease of Use: There is definately a learning curve with this amp, mainly because if you change amp models all the setting reset themselves, meaning you can have silence of deafening feedback if your not careful. But this is the only real problem Ive had with the amp, and once you are set on a sound and used to using it it becomes just a niggle. The sounds you get are worth the effort though. I havent had much experience with the channels, mainly because I dont use them, but can't imagine any problems with them not already mentioned. Works well with my effects pedals due to the built in loop. Quality: Never had a problem with this amp, its absolutely bulletproof, never gets hot, has about a 3 second warm up and down time compared to 5-10 minutes for a valve amp, and sounds nearly as good. The metal grate on the front is a masterpiece, truely beautiful and solid. No mechanical problems, no problems with quality of fit and finish. And I've used it in many gigs, carrying it up and down stairs, loading into cars etc. Doesnt seem to have any bad aspects of quality. Feels like it would last forever. Value: Amazing value, id say for anyone moving from beginner to intermediate this is your amp. Will do you for any gig until people pay you to take their amps anyway, and just as good for practice. No other amp of the same money comes close. Manufacturer Support: N/A havent dealt with Vox as of yet. No need to. The Wow Factor: Its a bit different, no-one really has Vox these days, you get to say it has a "Valve Reactor" which sounds cool. When i went into the studio it was my amp that was commented on by our sound engineer, not my friends Peavey Valve amp! ($900+) Overall: Im going to keep this amp until it blows up, which I imagine will be a long time. No real reason to switch, infact even in the very biggest venues, with a 100w speaker and a PA system youd be fine. Perhaps when I have more to spend Id buy an old valve stack or something, butI cant think of anything else to replace the good ol' vox!
