Members Zacman0126 Posted November 30, 2009 Members Share Posted November 30, 2009 I have a Vox VT30. It's okay. I thought it was the new series when I bought it, was sorely dissapointed when I realized it wasnt. Same look and everything but the new series (VTX30?) has double the amp sims, and one on there that I really liked. Vox VTX series and Peavey Vypyr series (especially tube 60/120) are awesome.

Members missingastring Posted November 30, 2009 Members Share Posted November 30, 2009 Seriously, the only thing that keeps me from getting a Vypyr is the ice-pick treble that I couldn't seem to dial out. I hear there's a global EQ setting buried somewhere in it, but it's not intuitive enough to figure out without a manual. Other than that, it sounds pretty great.

THIS. bad enough that my guitarist in my band is selling it cause after a month we still cant get a single good tone out of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members missingastring Posted November 30, 2009 Members Share Posted November 30, 2009 Enjoy it. I bet you could use the recording out into a DAW w/ impulses and some good EQ and get some amazing guitar tracks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There was a thread on it the other day. I can't quite remember the thread title but it had something to do with the new version...1.65 if memory serves (which it probably doesnt).

Members missingastring Posted November 30, 2009 Members Share Posted November 30, 2009 Hmm... the only thing that update seems to address is a problem with the pitch-shifter and a volume problem w/ the looper function. I'mma google up some global EQ + Vypyr and see what I get. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members mfergel Posted November 30, 2009 Members Share Posted November 30, 2009 I have the vypr 15. It sounds good but it's buggy. Does wierd random stuff and the problem with the 15 is there is no USB interface so I don't know how it's possible to update the firmware. I do plan on updating the speaker though. There's room to put a 10" in it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jds22 Posted November 30, 2009 Members Share Posted November 30, 2009 Regarding the update. It is a firmware update, version 1.58. One of options installed with this update is a global EQ. Basically you can set it for high, med, or low. Not sure how you select these, I'm sure it is by holding down a certain combination of knobs while powering it on. I have the 75 but have not done this latest update yet, too lazy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members theGhost Posted November 30, 2009 Members Share Posted November 30, 2009 I have practiced and gigged with a Line6 HD147 for over 4 years.So yes. really? wow. I had one for about a month running it into an avatar cab with a v30/h30 combo in it, and I could NOT get that thing to open up and sound natural at all. No matter what I did, everything sounded incredibly processed and usually like there was a blanket over it. I'm impressed if you got that thing to sound anything but that. How did you manage this?

No matter what I did, everything sounded incredibly processed and usually like there was a blanket over it.I'm impressed if you got that thing to sound anything but that. How did you manage this? First important part is the speakers - I run two old half-back mesa/boogie speakers. Half-back speakers with a "metal" amp may seem odd, but it works really well with this amp. I hated it it with the Line6 vetta cabs. Second important part is the pickups. This amp is picky. It loves the Blaze Customs in my Universe, it hated the old PAF-7s in my K7, it does quite well with the new Painkillers. Third important part is realizing that I hate 95% of the models.Favorites are: - big bottom with most of the bass dialed out for modern fast metal tones- "Criminal" model for saturated fat high gain tones.- The dual recto model with most of the bass dialed out for ultra-dry tones- Dual recto model with a bit more bass for leads.- The Line6 Grunge model for low to medium-gain tones (very responsive to guitar volume).- Ultra-clean for, well, ultra clean. It's a "pretty good" amp in my opinion, and certainly at today's prices. It does not deliver THAT many good tones, and maybe one or two GREAT tones. Most of the high gain stuff can be dialed in to sound very alike.You can't do half of the good stuff without digging through the manual and checking out the MIDI implementation, e.g. access to extra reverb models, using the built-in wah, putting volume before or after gain, putting certain fx before or after gain...

Members GRAF Posted November 30, 2009 Members Share Posted November 30, 2009 I used to have a VOX VT30 and was terribly dissapointed, sold it to a friend for cheap. I went for emulation again recently with a Line 6 Spiderjam which has impressed me to no end. And I'm a tube guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hear there's a global EQ setting buried somewhere in it, but it's not intuitive enough to figure out without a manual. Other than that, it sounds pretty great. If you have the 1.58 firmware, you hold down preset #2 while turning the amp on to get the "darker" setting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
