Re: Vox Brian May recording amp
If that's the little white vox amp you're referring to, it's more of an amp to drive another amp, like a real AC-30. I think it's a copy of something he called a deacy amp. It's not much good on it's own, soundwise. I think a vox pathfinder with Reverd and Tremelo for $119 might be better suited to a practice amp. Or consider a modelling amp like the Valvetronix line form Vox. What style of music are going to play?

Re: Vox Brian May recording amp
I have one and I generally agree with what he said. The amp is ok if you like that particular tone but it is a one trick pony. It also happens to be noisy.
You may want to consider a used Tech 21 Trademark 10. I have one that I bought for $175 and I really like it. I've also heard some nice things about the Valvetronix and the price new would be about the same as the used Trademark 10.

Yeah, get a Valvetronix, Flextone XL, or Tech 21. Perfect practice amps!

I tested one hoping I could get remotely close to Brian May's tone and I was very disappointed. Never tried using it in front of another amp, but by itself, it sounded so bad I thought it was broke.
