VT40X : Excellent modelling hybrid amp

5 years ago

I got it after a lot of years off guitar playing, originally having an old Line6 Spider II 75 (2004). Sold the Spider because I got pissed by digital effects and modelling amps and i looked for a full tube or a solid without effects etc. I wanted to start playing again and I fell in-between, the hybrids. I chose this one since it's 40W:

CONS:

1) it's far more than enough for practicing and I believe you can play even in a small studio, it has a lot of power.

2) This amp is excellent with tube-like performance! It's a real VFM an d very very versatile switching between so many channels and manual vs modelling mode.

3) the 10' speaker is enough for getting nice sound, don't go to <10' even the VT.

4) The overall cabin, knobs etc are of high quality

CONS:

1) I didn't like the tight 3.5 I/O sockets, I am always afraid to put jacks in them. Same with the On/Off button, it seems that it will wear out much quickly (better if it was a generic 2-positions switch)
