So my impression was right. and that it was essentially the guts of a valvetronix using that one valve like in the tone lab. It's more of a throw back to the Vox Cambridge amps of the 90's but in VOX AC30 lookalike and sized cab. Yes a budget model through and through for Intermediary use. As soon as I saw one I sussed it out
hence my post. Would not put me off buying one even if just to have that VOX Badge and Cab stand out on stage
Who knows or care what the musician is really using because you will get the sound sorted with pedal regardless, right ? So should be a winner for wannabee rock stars wanting retro to go with their road worn fenders.
hmmm, wonder if I should buy a load, trash the vinyl and add scuff marks and sell as roadworn AC30's
