Are there tubes in my VS100?

GrampaBob · 02-02-2008, 08:01 PM

I just got a used VS 100 head and cab. Now I know its solidstate but I've heard from a few sources that its kinda hybrid and that it has one tube in there?

Can anyone explain to me if its 100% solidstate or maybe one channel is tube? I dunno

Yes, there is a single ECC83 (aka 12AX7) in the pre-amp section to emulate traditional valve amp tone.

Here is a link to the VS100 user guide that you can download:

Yup, it has a tube preamp, and a solid state power section.
