V22HD Infinium : Very good for the price

7 years ago

I bought this amp some time ago because I couldn't afford anything more expensive at this wattage.

I didn't have high expectations, so when I heard it for the first time, I was pleasantly surprised..

The clean channel sounds amazing and it has plenty of headroom and power to be heard in a rehearshal/studio/small venue without a mic.

I play at my home studio on a fender strat with a celestion g12k100 and the pedals I've used on it are od, wah, delay, reverb, eq, dist..none of them presented issues(I haven't tested the fx loop cause I never use the drive channel of the amp)..

Every feature works beautifully, even though I would've liked it to have an amp-output for direct monitoring..

The reverb sounds ok to my ears but I never use it, the tone knobs are pretty usable and the presence knob works like a charm!..

I've noticed two drawbacks:

there is a boost button but the only way it can be activated is by hand

the dirty channel is not tasty enough, even though that's more of a personal opinion

I recommend this amp head to everyone on a budget looking for a great vfm amp!
