Re: V-stack
I just got one of these last week and I have to say, I am pretty impressed. I have been using it with my Classic 30. Normally I use the gain channel with a boss BD-2 to give me a little extra, then I will also use the Duncan Booster pedal to give me an EQ boost for solos. Since I got the V-Stack I have been running that through the clean channel of the Peavey and basically it gives me all the distortion I need. I just use the volume knobs on the guitar to give me the extra boost for solos. It's really versatile and the controls are real responsive and allow you to shape and adjust the tone to what you want. I've tried just about everything and weather you want a thin ear piercing tone or a thick buttery tone it always gives a high quality sound and doesn't sound sterile or synthetic like some pedals
It basically does what it says. It gives a real good Marshall-like tone but the cut knob can help you dial in more midrange to simulate a a marshall with a midrange booster pedal plugged in. Its claim is that it is an amp modeler and can be used directly into the soundboard or into recording equipment. I haven't used it that way though. I have been just using it as an effects pedal through my amp and I have been real happy using like that.
I guess a pros and cons would be helpful:
Pros- Great Marshall sound in a pedal. Really responsive controls to dial in more midrange or bass, and the drive adjust can get you from Calssic Fleetwood Mac like blues tones to modern Heavy Metal. No LED indicator means a 9 volt will last up to 500 hours. The instructions say you can also use it as a treble booster pedal by adjusting the level to between 0 to 2 but I haven't tried it for that purpose yet.
Cons- It's pricey. It's $199. But most of us usually buy a standard pedal then look to have it modded so it might be a wash in the long run.
I think the sound clips on the V-Stack site give a good indication of what you get.
