General Comments
I'm a roots player, been playing 32 years now, and hardly ever expected versatility from an Amp. An Amp had to have but one good characteristic sound. The VOX AD50 is my first departure from all-tube amps. Sold my Twin, Sold my Showman, sold my Blues DeVille. I was tired of schlepping the heavy stuff around. I benefit fully from the versatility of the amp, from the character of three or four settings. I was always looking for something that sounds like an amp turned up, even when it's not. The VOX seems to do that pretty well. It doesn't sound sterile like an Amp-Pod thanks to the tube used and the REMS. The Amp has the bite of a tube amp and sounds better than modeling amps from other companies.
We have a saying in Germany that you might be familiar with, too: The egg-laying-wool-milk-sow. That's what it is.
