terjag Which do you think has a better sustain, tone and Freq. response? A Vox AC30 all tubes with 2 12" speaker or a Blackstar series 1 single stack used with a 62' Jag reissue I am looking for an all tube amp combo or half stack
gilmourish just get the vox.... you sound amazing if you have a vox aparently... even if you dont have the guitar plugged into it.
terjag I was looking at the VOX AC 30 2C 30 watts. Musicians friend has it for 999$ I will be using a '62 jag reissue. Does the Vox have distortion that matches the Blackstar. I mean super thick distortion. Can both distort at low volumes or is it like a Artisian Blackstar that barely distorts?
feedbackismyfriend gilmourish said: in a short word which answers your question. no.ya pretty much, if you're looking for a lot of distortion from your amp, Vox isn't really the place to look......
feedbackismyfriend BanditGuitarist1 said: Vox isn't the place to look for distortion unless you want a setup like this Brian May drives his amps with a treble booster and also maybe some pedals, I was talking about distortion just straight from your amp..... and even so his tone is really pretty nasally and thin, not super thick like it sounds like terjag is looking for.......
foxyloxy you can make a blackstar sound like an AC30, but you can't get that amount of gain from an AC30. the blackstar has soooo much gain on tap it's ridiculous.
