Maybe they didn't use a tele to tune in the sims. Sounds pretty good with P90's, though. Haven't gone too far wrong with those on any setting.

Members keith335 Posted June 26, 2005 Members Share Posted June 26, 2005 My 30 watter sound awesome with my two guitars both of which have humbukers but I did notice at the store that singles especially with maple boards sucked big time. No output whatsoever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've heard a few others say this and I can't figure it. Mud is the last thing I'd think of to describe the sounds coming from the Valvetronix amps. I've got the 50 and there just ain't no mud in there anywhere. Did you really give it a good workout with a variety of guitars? That's a weak point of modeling amps. If you don't have a guitar that's close to the one they used to tune the thing, you might not like what you hear. And if your favorite guitar sounds crappy through it, game over.

Members Europa760 Posted June 26, 2005 Members Share Posted June 26, 2005 depending on the context of the ass, ass can sound good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gusism Posted June 26, 2005 Members Share Posted June 26, 2005 I've plugged 4 different electrics into my AD30VT and they all sound great. Of course I needed to do some sound tweaking here and there with the knobs. There are literally hundreds of different sounds you can get from this amp.

I tried about 5 different guitars. I thought it was horrible. I called tech support and they said that it was either a bad treble knob (but said that was doubtful) or it was just "the nature of the beast". Either way, I hated that amp more than any I've ever encountered! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Buck62 Posted June 26, 2005 Members Share Posted June 26, 2005 I can get my AD50VT so punchy and tinny it'll make your ears bleed. I can get it that way (if I choose to) with any one of my 6 electric guitars. I sold my Marshall because the AD50VT could do the Marshall tone, vintage Vox tone, as well as Fender Twin tone and even Mesa Boogie tone. I can nail Angus Young's tone perfectly, even with my cheapest guitar. Mud????... I don't think so. Maybe the pickups on that Tele are {censored}.

Members GPLAYER Posted June 26, 2005 Members Share Posted June 26, 2005 My tele sounds great through my AD50VT. You have to tweak the Valvtronix. They are definitely not plug & play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members k4df4l Posted June 26, 2005 Members Share Posted June 26, 2005 fwiw..when I bought my MIM Tele, one of the amps I played it through was a valvetronix....sounded fine and really didn't require much knob twiddling. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most have too many effects involved. I prefer to use the manual mode and tweak my own sounds. I guess that's why these amps appeal to a wide market. There's something in there for just about everybody. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members _pete_ Posted June 26, 2005 Members Share Posted June 26, 2005 Must be something wrong with the amp or the guitar.If I use the AC30TB model and crank the treble and presence the thing will bite my ears off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
