Well, About 2 Weeks ago, I bought a Marshall MG, Now Ive came to the Conclusion that it sounds like ****.
Guitar Center, where I bought it, has a 30 Day Return Policy on anything. The only thing is, is that Guitar Center is almost 3 Hours away.
I was thinking of getting someone to drive down (I think my Grandparents are going down there) and returning it for me, and I would give them the extra money so I could get a Vox Ad15VT instead.
Should I do this, or is the Vox Valvetronix not worth the HUGE hassle and $40.
3 hours isn't THAT bad and besides you can play some guitars while you're there. I say just go yourself and make a day of it. Hang out and play the guitars on the wall and try out the other amps and then do your return and go home. Just my humble 2 cents for what they're worth.
Definitely worth the switch. As far as small, practice amps go, Vox Valvetronic series sounds top notch. It's amazingly easy to dial in a smooth, Vai-like tone, and it's effects sound great too.
The only problem I had with the valvetronics is that they're almost too-warm sounding. It's hard to get an aggressive sound out of them because they're just voiced to be too mellow IMO.
The Vox surpasses the Marshall by leaps and bounds. It's the best hybrid amp AND the best modeling amp I've ever tried, and the only complaints I have are that the high-gain models don't have as much gain as the real thing, and that the Plexi model is way too bassy. I own both, so I know what I'm talking about.
If you want high-gain, I'd try the new Valvetronix XL. It has a lot more high-gain models, and the high-gain models have more gain than before. There's a couple of vintage-style models in there, too.
Ugh, I don't even play that much anymore because the MG is such a POS.
My family is going down somewhere on holidays so mabye I will convince em to go to the USA so I Can get the Vox, because I really want it.
