I am new to this forum and have just purchased a Vox VX2 and am struggling to figure out how to get the AC30 or any of the 11 amps to sound anything like early Shadows stuff. How do I modify the presets or otherwise input and save something closer to what I want? The AC30 preset is "Message in a Bottle" which is not to my taste. Still trying to understand Tone Room. Where can I get the correct parameters from for something like Apache? Appreciate any assistance. 8 Thanks, Alan Sydney, Australia Hi Alan , First thing to do is select an amp model on rotary switch. Then reduce gain for cleaner tone (Try about 10 o Clock) set treble 12 o Clock and bass about 9 o Clock . For clean tones master volume and power up higher gain low as you can get. Also try treble and bass both off for some earlier tunes. You may need addition eq pedal for sounds closer to the record to cut bass and high end. Normal channel AC30 also works for early tunes. HTH Roger, many thanks for your prompt reply. What I am struggling with is if I select say AC30, even with everything turned down to zero - gain, bass, treble, effects, reverb and play any chord, there remains an element of delay/echo and harshness which I have assumed is "built in" to the AC30 preset which is based on Message in a Bottle? Do I need to separately save a preset based on your suggested settings to get around the "Bottle" preset? I'd like to create something with more "warmth". Thanks Alan

You can turn the effects off as well Alan and of course when you get a sound you want you save it to a pre-set which is what I did. You do not need much gain so after you select a built in AC30 Turn the gain and effects off and adjust master volume and eq till it sounds right
I suggest you read the manual as well Alan so you understand the operation. If you do not have one maybe find one online

Hi Roger,
links like: app.box.com/s/j07n89h4wccwa6h8y6eo9kdhx98fjfzy don't work, but Apache VX2 and Peace Pipe VX2 do work OK.
Paul.

Would you be happy to share the settings you used for Apache and Peace Pipe in a previous posting of yours?

Okay Paul the others are Derek's and he must have taken files down. Apache and Peace Pipe were my amp demos. By the way well done on the credits you got on Hanks new Album. Roger.
