Re: Vox, Matchless and Bad Cat in a box.
It doesn't come that easy, bro. I'd like to say yes, but I can't. That's why folks pay big bucks for badass tube amps. The amp is your base tone, and pedals tweak that tone.
What are you using for an amp right now?

Re: Vox, Matchless and Bad Cat in a box.
I've owned a couple of matchless floor based preamps. The big hunk o' metal kind. If you run of of those thru the return channel of a decent tube amp, you can get some serious tones.
Cheapest way to get there IMO. But i think both matchless and badcat are a lot more expensive and harder to come by in europe.

Re: Vox, Matchless and Bad Cat in a box.
Sorry dude I hate when people ask the kind of questions I did. i just didn't have a whole lot of time before. I really just would like to know if there is a pedal that "tries" to do this. It's almost like buying a Marshall Plexi (like) pedal to make my Vibrolux sound like a Plexi. It does what it does, but in the end it really doesn't sound much like a Plexi.
Hehehehe... By the way I have a BadCat already! It rules!
I am just curious what's out there that tries to do this ya know.

I'd say check w/ Rid. His PlexiTone might do the trick. Then there's the highly sought-after Marshall Shredmaster made famous by Jonny Greenwood of Radiohead.

While B is asking, how about a Bogner pedal also.

Re: Vox, Matchless and Bad Cat in a box.
The Fulltone OCD is a good Marshall in a box sound. Actually, might be closer to what you are looking for because it sounds a lot lot like a Vox also if you tweak it right. I saw the video clip on the ZVEX Box of Rock and was really impressed with the way it mimicked a cranked JTM45 with the two channels bridged. Check that one out, I think I'll be getting that soon... Not a big fan of ZVEX stuff, but the Box of Rock looks pretty sweet.

Re: Vox, Matchless and Bad Cat in a box.
I think Bogner is in the development stage of coming out with a new Bogner pedal, the Fango.
As for Vox type tone, there's Menatone Top Boost in a Can.
Also, do a search on here for a Matchless Cool Box. I think there's a forum member trying to sell one.
