V22 Infinium : Versatile and affordable

9 years ago

I dont think you can fully appreciate this amp without putting some decent preamp tubes in,for the stock ones make it noisy and the gain channel sharp and introduces abnormal levels of treble.

Its loud enough for gigs and it can do house noise levels too.

Great cleans, takes pedals very well, no issues with the loop, the gain channel has a vintage character (a lot of compression) that some people may not like

(personally I like it with a boost) but you can always use pedals, good speaker,

Pentode-triode mode and the two imputs allow you to get more sounds but I dont use them that much,

The reverb is pretty decent for a natural sound around 4,

and finally a mid boost for some Marshall like sounds.

Add to that its low cost in contrast with what it offers and its worth the investment.

But in the other hand I do get a rattle sometimes,many people complain about the gain channel being unusable which I dont agree with and its vintage character which limits the sounds you can get out of it to some extent.
