Anyway, I have the Vox AD30VT and it sounds really nice. I like it much better than the Crate it replaced. Granted, the Crate was 4-5 yrs old and you know how technology gets better each 4-5 months.]]> Live Sound 97reb https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/good-solid-state-amp/paged/2/#post-160031 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/good-solid-state-amp/#post-159814 Thu, 16 Feb 2006 10:07:33 +0000
Whatever you decide have fun trying them out and try out as many different type's you can before you make your final decision.

I dont trust sales people very much. I mean, a good one will point out +'s and -'s of a product but many dont, so its good to have a network of people who do.

The Vox Valvetronix series are also very very very good, probably a bit better tone than the Peavey Transtube series, and more versatile effects wise. They have one tube (a 12AX7, which would only need replacing every 3 years or so, if at all - cheap as). They do not have some features that the Transtube has though and they have had some issues with reliability, annoying things like the input jack falling into the amp..caused heart attacks all round 10 mins before our gig!

I also hear that the Roland JC Jazz Chorus series, especially the JC-120 are very good, and very popular with jazzers (as well as ska and metal believe it or not).

The most important thing though is to try the amp in the flesh yourself, how else are you to know?

Those Vox valvetronix look great, never tried one though. Roland cubes are brilliant amps, but a bit pricey]]> Live Sound English one https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/good-solid-state-amp/#post-159106 https://guitarnoise.forum/live-sound/good-solid-state-amp/#post-158894 Sun, 12 Feb 2006 22:54:13 +0000

The Roland Cube 60 has power to gig, models, and effects. Good amp. Very high customer ratings.
