I'm after a AD120VTX. I'd settle for buying one of the new VT100s, but I've had a snoop and people seem to be selling old VTXs, with those massive VC12 footswitches, for less money than a new VT100. Also, I fell in love with the blue diamond grill cover fabric on the VTX! I noticed you have one of the new VTs aswell so, may I ask for your opinion? £350 for a AD120VTX with VC12 or about £400 for a VT100 with a VFS5 footswitch?

Thanks for your help. I enjoy your blues very much. Very smooth!

[Voxman5]

Hi fdrstrat-actually I don't own a VT, the VT30 was only a loan. Depends what you want-22 new amp models with Vox own speakers, 12 month warranty, 8 user patches but way more limited functionality, or a second-hand AD120VTX with full gigging facilities, birchply cab, 32 user patches, independent effects + pedal section, Celestion Neodogs etc. If you're gigging, AD120VTX/VTH & VC12 is a tough combination to beat. You'll need an EQ in the FX loop in both to get the best out of them.

[fdrstrat]

I'll try and get my hands on a VTX then! Thank you very much for your help!

[fabianromano]

Love all your videos man, great tone in all of them !

[Voxman5]

Thanks fabian, nice of you to drop in & listen. Hoping to put some new ones up over Xmas - Vox AC4TVH & 1x12 cab, Night Train, and maybe Tonelab ST.

[CrazyDiamond1968]

Rich, Lance here, how you doing? :) Great blues playing as usual, you're getting better as you get older, and as I get older I get worse. :)

Take care.

[Voxman5]

Hey Lance, how are you mate?! Long time no speak - good to hear from you. Thanks for looking in & the kind words - although as I get older...well, I just get older! LOL. Let's catch up - My e-mail's unchanged so drop me a line or send me a 'PM' on the Valvetronix forum. Rich

[gle3105]

Rich, I just dig your blues man !! Tasteful. Love PRS's too. Hope you don't mind bro but copying some of your stuff. Best compliment I can give huh?

Greg

[Voxman5]

Thanks Greg - glad you enjoyed it & feel free to copy whatever you want! BTW - what's 5 & 9ths??

Greg

[Voxman5]

Thanks Greg - there's another blues one on here with my Les Paul Custom - just look for more voxman5 vids. I'm trying to get a better quality video camera but I'll do some more once I've bought one. Rich

[Voxman5]

You're most kind ducky811 - really glad you liked it. The PRS CU24 is such a lovely guitar, it helps to cover up my mistakes!

[ducky811]

This is wonderfully enjoyable to listen to. Really tasteful and soulful playing here. Love your PRS custom 24. It sounds amazing although it is 100% your playing. Best wishes and much continued success.

[WuzzardTCW]

A+ man awesome solo very tasteful I felt that the whole way through and then some, keep playing!

[Voxman5]

Thanks Wuzzard - glad you enjoyed it

[samurainite]

hahah you know what i mean lol good shizzle : )

[samurainite]

I AM SPEECHLESS... : )

[Voxman5]

was it that bad? lol

[Voxman5]

Thanks BP, glad you liked it - & good luck with the Church band. Rich

[Voxman5]

Thanks USB & congrats on the new CU24; lovely guitars & I know you'll enjoy playing it. Best, Rich

[amarr1]

i wish i had one of those man! great playing, just wish i had enough money to buy one of those

[Voxman5]

I know what you mean, but don't despair. PRS prices have really come down, & if you're patient a hardtail CU22 with birds can be found s/hand for £750-850, & a CU24 with birds for £850-900. The new Mira (nice guitar & a proper US PRS) is £959 on Ebay & in 12mths s/hand prices will be circa £600-750. My 2002 CU24 is immaculate & was less than half the price of a new one. So they really are attainable. Thanks for looking in & I hope you eventually get one to enjoy, as they're lovely guitars.

[danechka06]

voxman..dang man what a way to play that axe you just made me to take my custom 22 on my hands at the first second i saw this video..lol

[Voxman5]

Thanks danechka - wow, that's the first time I've ever had such a nice comment that someone was actually inspired by my playing -normally I inspire them to turn me off! lol Anyway, appreciate you looking in & enjoy your Custom 22 - PRS made their guitars to be played after all. Best, Rich

[Voxman5]

Glad you enjoyed it JD

[Voxman5]

Thanks RJS, kind of you to look in. Rich

[Snifit]

I wish I had a PRS, but man they are too much, maybe someday! great playing!

[Voxman5]

Thanks Snifit - new PRS prices are crazy but I got mine second-hand for less than half what you'd pay new, and it really is 'as new'.  Rich

[woodsbd12]

Take that AXE down to BEALE St.

[Voxman5]

If only I were that good! lol Thanks for listening.
