I have a VGA-7 and frankly...it's surprising to see anyone ask about it or talk about it...it was such an overlooked amp. Yes...you can feed a small guitar cable (included with a GK-2) into the VGA-7 and use the regular sound of the guitar. For clean tones...it is a God Machine. Using your GK-2...your Les Paul absolutely WILL sound like a Strat. It's superb for that kind of thing. It's also quite incredible to play around with the various alternate tuning capabilities on it. For dirty sounds...especially with the GK-2...it's just sort of so-so. The GK-2 seems to be impossible to get any real attack out of it...it's pretty mushy no matter what guitar model you use. When you use your regular guitar pickups it's improved but still a bit cold sounding. One of the excellent hidden capabilities of the VGA-7 is that, due to the fact that it is full range (tuned VERY well with 2x12s AND Piezo speakers) it is awesome as a stereo power amp/speaker cab for modellers. It absolutely shines with a PodXT...and has been my rig for smaller gigs for 4 years now. I have a video of me with this setup...I take the first solo. It actually works good as a mini-pa...guitar synths, regular synths...even vocals sound crystal clear through it. EDIT: The amp itself sounds does the JC-120 thing perfectly...whether using the standard inputs or otherwise. If that's what you want...this thing does it and way more. I strongly recommend this amp. One other thing I just thought of...I'm going on 6 years with this amp without a repair.

You kiddin'? Even my wife knows I'd hit that 1,000 times a day. Give me a freak any day of the week over some Barbie-doll.
