misrule Posted February 2, 2009 Share Posted February 2, 2009 Hi, folks -- Can anybody help me out with their opinion on the VTX? Does the dummy load feature give as rich tone as an all-valve amp? I'm considering one for that valvey goodness without the weight. Feel free to PM me if you'd prefer. Cheers Mark Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
umph Posted February 4, 2009 Share Posted February 4, 2009 with my experience with that type of amp is that they kind of get the sound and work great for studio stuff, but if you want a proper valve sound without the weight look into something like the torres amps bassman it only weighs 15.6kg and is loud enough to keep up with a hard hitting drummer.

Has reviews too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
