Members Hoople Head Posted February 6, 2009 Members Share Posted February 6, 2009 Got a minty used Schecter C1+ in Honeyburst from Mr JinX in the spam thread a hair over three weeks ago here. I've been GASsing for one of these for awhile. Really wanted a mahogany dual HB guitar with more of a strat feel, but not a total pointy metal machine. I think this guy fits the bill perfectly. Sounds great. Plays awesome. With the coil tap it is hella versatile. I've heard some people dogging Schecter around here, but I can't see why. I haven't played any of their entry level guitars, but this thing is rock solid. Even the Duncan Designed pickups are turning out to be quite usable. As for the NAD, this one wasn't planned but just sort of came up unexpectedly. I've been playing on a HRD for years, I love the cleans but I just can't get any usable breakup at in-the-house volumes. Consequently, I've been looking at the Vox AD30VTs for a long time. I was about to pull the trigger on one months ago, but then the deal with the First Act V-Stack amps came up. I grabbed a 70 watter, hoping that it would give me what I needed at low volumes. While it sounds great with the volume cranked, it just wasn't what I needed for quiet noodling. So two weeks ago there was a Valvetronix thread where some opinions were given that the new VT30 model wasn't quite as nice as the AD30VT. I also noticed that the AD series was quickly disappearing from online retailers. So I pulled up Best Buy's website, found that a store near me had one in stock for like $179, and it seemed like a no-brainer. Online ordering with in-store pickup FTW. Got the last one. Very happy. No pics of the amp, but you know what they look like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members gt_jumper Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 I think the pick-ups are great for muddy "lower" tone style cleans but anything else they just lack a clear tone. wanna buy some? lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Railfanespee Posted February 7, 2009 Members Share Posted February 7, 2009 HNGD and HNAD! I think you made very good choices. For a long time, my only decent amp was my beloved AD50VT. I even did all of my gigs with it. I haven't played through an AD30VT in a while, but I remember liking the one I did try my G400 with Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
