Hey guys,

 

So i need a new modelling amp. And for a while i was set on buying a Vox VT 20+ amp however i have heard some great things about the Fender Mustang series.

 

Can anyone give me a breakdown of what the two biggest differences between the two amps are? I had an older version of the Vox Vt series and loved the heavy distorted tones, would i be able to get those on the Fender?

Not sure about the heavy tones on the little Mustang I, but the Mustang II impressed the heck out of me for the heavy tones.

 

I haven't spent much time with the + series Voxes, but I have a Tonelab and had an and AD and a VT series amp. Basically, I'd say the Fender (II) is better at heavy tones and Fender tones and the Vox is better at Vox tones and early/less gainy Marshall tones. The Fender KILLS in the effects department.

These videos will help. They demo the Mustang II and the Vox VT40+ (close enough). If I recall correctly, they only use the factory presets on the Vox, which isn't really fair, but it's still a good comparison of the amps. The Mustang is in the first video, and the Vox in the second.

**edit - these guys prefer the Mustang.
