Bad Tones

My vox isn’t working for crap right now. It’s bright, brittle and has no head room. I think it’s broken because I’ve played on other vox amps that sound awesome. It does have the junk speakers that come in the new ones. I’m seriously tired of fighting with these amps. I played on a Divided by 13 today and it just sang to me. It was bright, warm and punchy. It was the FTR37 through a 2×12 cab loaded with blue alinco speakers. There’s part of me that just thinks it would be more responsible to fix the vox and change speakers and I think I’ll try that first. If anyone has a divided by thirteen they don’t want anymore, give me a shout.

I had never heard of these amps until i read this. I looked them up on youtube and they sound AMAZING!! the clean is so rich. I saw this guy use a treble booster and he got this real SRV sound out of it.

one word: POD

you are going to drop some change on one of those amps… i have a buddy who has owned a couple and loves them, but you cant get the volume down very easily to get good tone in small rooms.
you can play it when youre here.

i say replace the speakers in the VOX and get it fixed. Then go buy the FTR 37 and have 2 bad a** amps!!

These amps are killer but cost about 4 grand before tax. I think I am going to fix the vox and get to saving for it.

What’s wrong with the Sam?
