Members omor Posted June 6, 2006 Members Share Posted June 6, 2006 probably not a great idea.I love my VJ a ton but there's virtually no headroom on the thing...which is generally what you want if you're planning on doing an amp modelling setup. I suppose you can do it anyways. With my current setup, after the modifications on my VJ, it turns from mild breakup to crunch at about 12 o clock and from crunch to sludge territory at about 3 o clock. i run it at about 5 o clock (full tilt). At these volumes it sits RIGHT under a loud drummer standing right in front of my 4x12 (small practice space) If i can get some distance between me and the cab its a pretty good mix.

Members HMCMedic Posted June 6, 2006 Members Share Posted June 6, 2006 I run my POD XT Live through 2 Valve Jr. combos. I have it set up in my jam room. It works great for playing at home, I don't keep 'em turned up very much. I have used this rig a couple of times live and I just miked the amp. Worked great.

Members 03hal Posted July 14, 2006 Members Share Posted July 14, 2006 Old thread, but I just got my valve junior and am running a pod xtl through it, then on to a Line 6 2X12. I think it sounds great, at the volumes I bought it for (loud-ish bedroom). Avoid clipping the input of the VJ, and maybe tweak out a litttle of the mids the el84 adds, and the setup rocks. The head also makes a great reality check after jamming through the pod for a while- plug straight into the VJ and see how you sound without all the gloss.

Members Lump Posted September 30, 2006 Members Share Posted September 30, 2006 I'm just wondering, it you change the 12ax7 to a lower 12at7 or 12au7 if you'd get enough clean headroom to make it workable. I own a live xt and have been looking for something to power a nice 1x12 cab I have with a tone tubby speaker. I'd resigned myself to eventually just getting a power amp, but could possibly work. Not sure if it would warm the tones up at all, just theorizing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
