I currently have a Fender Super 60 all tube amp and although it's served me well over the 5 years I've had it, it's always been perhaps a little too powerful for bedroom recording. Also, I've noticed it has lost some it's brightness in the last few months, which is probably down to the tubes being on the way out. At first I was gonna replace the tubes but that's gonna be somewhat of a hassle, as well as quite pricey as it needs to have the bias set by a tech etc. So I'm thinking of either selling it or just keeping it incase I play any gigs or whatever in the future, at which point I'll get the tubes replaced etc.
Anyway, I've been researching and I'm really liking the look of the Vox AD50VT. Most people that have one seem to rave about it and the adjustable wattage is very attractive indeed for me. Like I said earlier, my Fender Super 60 has always been a little too powerful for bedroom recording - we live wall-to-wall with our nextdoor neighbours and turning the volume up past 2 almost makes the house shake - it's THAT powerful. It seems the Vox would be ideal for recording, with all the amp models etc and most of all I could get a nice tube-like tone without having to turn it up really loud cos of the adjustable wattage. I use an SM57 to record electric guitars, and occasionally a Studio Projects C1. I just wanted to ask what any of you who own the AD50VT think of it in terms of recording.
To be honest, one of the only things making me undecided about getting it, is it's extremely low price. Hard to believe I can get something so good for just £200 new(around $400). But like I said, people who have it seem to rave about it. Any opinions and thoughts will be much appreciated.
