Someone had mentioned the vox valvetronix series. I have a 15 watt version and really like it. It has every sound I need for practice, cleans to metal and most everything in between. I think it has the feel of a tube amp as well. In my opinion, it should be at least looked at and played to hear it.

I would have NEVER bought this amp, I was looking at line 6, small marshalls, peavey, fender etc. The salesman at the GC recommended this VOX valvetronix, I laughed and said a need more than a beatle amp from the 60's. He plugged me in and the rest is history. We even use it to record rough demo's because the sound is so good and easy to find. It will not replace my marshall and boogie stacks but it is a very portable, small, easy and quick amp to get a decent sound out of.

Best wishes, TBW.

PS I had a valvetronix 100 watt 2x12 and it sounded very good especially with a 4x12 under it. I needed to thin the herd and sold it regretfully.
