Yeah, I tried the Cube 30 for one day and took it back. It didn't inspire me and the effects weren't nearly as tweakable as I had hoped.

I've messed around with the Cube 30 in-store at least 3 times now at higher volumes. I didn't really find the cleans any more appealing than those on my Randall combo (but they're still good for solid state), but I thought a few of the distortion tones really sang; especially the Recto model.

Sorry for semi hi-jacking the thread....

Gotta squash you again....You simply are way off base in your posts about the VTX,VTH series Vox amps...You're going on hear say,but you aren't spending anytime playing through the series!

Squash well taken, however, when "heresay" is that easy to find... Where the's smoke, there's often : or perhaps a kickin' party. And I did listen/play one. Just didn't want that many VOX's, and wasn't in the right price point.

They all have a unique voicing and each changes the controls to mimic the original amp as well.

I was very open to your facts about the amp and your own opinions,but I still took it as an overall stereotypical bashing of the Valvetronix series as a whole! I'm here to tell you that this is a great sounding amp....Call me lucky,call me crazy,but I've had no problems(none)with the head version of the 120 watt VTX combo...Maybe because I Opted for the head....

I appreciate the opinions,but maybe I didn't feel they were positive? But it's all good....Still the best $600 I've ever spent on "any" piece of gear!

I had a 50 watter and the tone was quite good. The only reason I got rid of mine was the "feel" the amp had...close to a tube amp, but not quite. I would opt for the head like stratdeluxer has, it has a lot more models and effects.

I Love the feel of my amp,though the really nice cabs I plug mine into don't hurt!

I agree with Stratdeluxer, I have had my 60 watt VTX head for over a year and even with every kid in the hood bashing this thing I have seen none of these reported reliability issues. Before you spend $400. on the 100watt Head look at the 60 watt VTX, it will probably cost you another $25 to $50 but is worth the extra money.
