Cool! that´s one question everybody makes when they one to buy this little amp...did you make any modifications to it? like speaker swapping or anything ?
Just bought one of these and I am more than pleased with mine. I was looking for a real nice clean tone and was able to get several out of the VT30. What amp model/settings were you using? Real nice playing btw.
Hi guitardaze, I have an AD30VT that I have used with a trio I used to work with, and even whan it was un-mic'd, they often asked me to turn it down:-) Great playing and a superb tone keep it up, fantastic example of just how good these amps are in the right hands, your tone is spot-on.
i have to try one of these out at least. I'm looking to upgrade my solid-state Vox Pathfinder (bought for roughtly £50 partly because it looked like a miniture AC15).
I'm looking at a VT30 at the very least, it's got to be a farily substantial upgrde to justify the expense of buying a new amp! I'm after something more tube-like, but if it's loud enough for a small gig - it's a bonus I s'pose.
the vt100 though would no doubt be perfect live, and a proper giggle, but a bit impractical maybe?
@SmithersJones87 the vt30 is a great amp, but if you can get the vt100. it a has some extra features as well asthe powerknob on the back so it can get to 30 watts.
@SmithersJones87 u should get the VT50, it can get very loud! but sounds great at any volume because of the watt control knob on the back of the amp. You can hear the difference the tube makes and the 8 channels are extremely useful. However it is quite heavy, but nothing like the weight of the 100 watt. Another good thing is that, on the 50 you have the option of extending the amp to a cabinet if there ever was a need to and you get the bigger speaker built in the amp. Hope this helps
The vt50 will realy be loud enough to handle a small gig, and also an avarage one, even lage gigs if u plug an external cab in it, wich is possible at the 50 and 100 watt. And yes, the 50 is much more easy to carry around :P
i have a gibson les paul standard with a VT30 VOX speaker too .... and i agree this sound is awesome!! playin with a band is no problem.. the sounds are powerfull or clean in a very great tone!!! LOVE IT!!
Im thinking about buying this amp...i had posted some question asking if it was loud enough to play live...this clears everything up...good playing by the way!
Just don't do what I did which was play a small bar gig at full volume - lost my speaker in the middle of the second to song of the set. Up until then, the amp was singing. Could a power surge have caused that? Any how, replacing the stock speaker with an Eminence RamRod.
Post a longer clip. There's lots of guys playing these alone but very few being played in their intended venues. POST A LONGER CLIP. Nice playing by the way.
No, you have to add one. That isn't hard. For the line out mod, you just wire a link across the switch contacts on the jack. Better still, make it a switch so you can choose whether to use the mod or not.
No, just the price of a jack and a few inches of wire, provided you are a good enough tech to drill the holes and do the soldering yourself. Otherwise any competent tech should be able to do the whole thing in an hour.
It should be plenty of volume. The amp has an attenuator on the back... Most store salespeople wisely turn this down. You'll find it can really be loud if you adjust this knob. If I owned a VT30 I'd convert it into a head and use a larger cabinet with it. This way you get the bass response too. (It already has the volume)

Did you use a setup with the power control to use it with the mic, or is using those 30watt with the mic

I played with a 15 watt vox in a 4 piece band, just a garage practice but damn.. Vox's15 watt can crank some serious ass.
I can't imagine a 100 watt
Is the amp mic'd? Or is it just by itself?

is it possible if i brought my vt30 to the shops to be modified so its possible to hook it up to a cabinet.

It is a very simple mod. Even simpler is the one that lets you still hear the main speaker while plugging the line out into the house desk.

I always mic my amps when I play live. This 30 watt version can't hook up to a cab but I think the 50 watt version can.
