New Amp - More Diversity

Re: New Amp - More Diversity

The AD100VT, AD60 and AD120 have an effects loop. The 120 has a stereo return.

It might be tricky wording but from what I've been told by people in the know and read, that's how they work. It all might be a big smokescreen, it might not. All I know is the amp sounds incredible and sometimes I feel like I'm still using a "real" tube amp.

I use my AD60 head on a Bogner 2-12 cab at home everyday, and I never get tired of it. There's so many tones in the thing, but you have to go digging.
One crucial element is to always use one of the three OD models in tandem with the gain control.....no matter what tone you're looking for...clean or gain. It helps give it more punch. One of my favorite models is the Tweed 4-10, simply because it sounds more like a vintage Marshall than any of the Marshall patches. The Rectifier setting and UK90's are really good for highgain tones. I'm spoiled by the variable wattage and onboard tuner.

Last night this baby just sang at practice. All I needed to tweak were the reverb levels and up the mids just a tad but other than that, wonderful tone.

Joe, the 4x10 is one of my favs on this too. Wish it had a little more snap to it though like the AC30. My high gain is one of 3, UK 70's with SD-1 out front, UK 80's with SD-1 out front or the US Highgain (Soldano). That variable wattage comes in very handy. I had the MV up around noon to 1 o'clock last night and just rolled the wattage down to where I wasn't blasting anyone's head off.

The tube is a EH 12AX7 and the speaker is Celestion designed for Vox. I was going to swap the tube for a EH but when I found out that's what was already in there, there was no need. I love those tubes.
