The firefly is all solid state if i remember correctly, so the hybrid Vox will give you some of the perks of the world of tube. I personally Own the Epi Valve Special, with I feel is better than the junior because it gives you the ability to control your gain, master, eq, and reverb seperatly. I love the valve special to death.]]> Live Sound duffmaster https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/firefly-30/paged/2/#post-205075 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/firefly-30/paged/2/#post-204594 Thu, 19 Oct 2006 21:15:48 +0000
I do second the idea that you should get such a pedal when you can, it makes the amp a lot more flexible in terms of how you can use it as you are playing.]]> Live Sound vink https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/firefly-30/paged/2/#post-204594 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/firefly-30/paged/2/#post-204590 Thu, 19 Oct 2006 20:55:36 +0000 Live Sound banre https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/firefly-30/paged/2/#post-204590 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/firefly-30/paged/2/#post-204574 Thu, 19 Oct 2006 19:35:59 +0000 Live Sound 97reb https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/firefly-30/paged/2/#post-204574 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/firefly-30/paged/2/#post-204506 Thu, 19 Oct 2006 07:57:28 +0000 Live Sound vink https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/firefly-30/paged/2/#post-204506 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/firefly-30/paged/2/#post-204480 Thu, 19 Oct 2006 04:44:46 +0000 Live Sound MikeCullen https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/firefly-30/paged/2/#post-204480 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/firefly-30/#post-204469 Thu, 19 Oct 2006 03:58:30 +0000
My suggestion on how to familiarize yourself with the amp:
- Turn off the effects (ie. push down the effects bypass)
- Play purely with the presets, at the volume you like
- Once you know roughly what each preset sounds like, you will probably pick a couple you really want to experiment with.
- For your chosen presents, play around with turning the different knobs. BTW, you can see where a particular knob is set for the preset level because the led will flash when you are passing that setting.
- When you have a sound you like, save it to one of the channels OR start experimenting with effects that you can add.

By the way, you should have gotten a printed manual with it, it is the same as the PDF pointed out above.

Some further suggestions:
- For bluesy sound, use the tweed model or the black face model.
- For harder rock, try the british 70s/brit 80 presets
- For metal (I have least experience with these) try the numetal, uk modern, us modern etc.

Enjoy! It is a great amp.]]> Live Sound vink https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/firefly-30/#post-204469 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/firefly-30/#post-204446 Thu, 19 Oct 2006 00:16:58 +0000
