VOX Amp VT 30 v LINE 6 Ver 4 75watt Amp

[shadowhankron]

Hi
As I seem to have Problems getting a Decent Sound with my Vox VT 30 Amp, I seen on You Tube the LINE 6 (ver4) 75 watt Amp.
Has anybody done tests with these Amps, eg.. How Good would LINE 6 ver 4 amp sound with Zoom G2.1 Pedal with EFTP. I just need some advice on LINE 6 amps. on sound quality as to Vox Vt 30.

regards
Ronnie

Hi Ronnie,
I have never tried a Line 6 so can't advise. If someone here has one you will probably get an answer from them.

Charlie

Thanks Charlie..

Hopefully I can find out what difference in two Amps, As I noticed some Members on this Forum use the Line 6 Gear.

Hi Ronnie,
Tried out the Line6 amp in a local music shop but wasn't overly impressed. Many of the effects sounded too digital, for want of a better word. They lacked quality to my ears and after a session experimenting with various settings I gave it up and to be fair, the store manager agreed and said it was a budget amp with budget quality effects and although there were lots of them he didn't feel any of them really produced the sounds I was seeking. A jack of all and master of none.
Some may disagree with these findings but that's how I felt when I tried it.
Regards,
Martyn

Hi Martyn

First of all THANK YOU for your Honest Opinion on the Line 6 Amp.. It was just I remember some members here using Line 6.. not sure if it was Amps or Pedals. I heard some sounds on Line 6 Spider 4 on You Tube..but most Demos I notice are lots of Heavy Metal and Fuzz Box Sounds never " Shadowy " Guitar Amp sound.. guess I`ll Stick to my Vox VT 30 at moment.
Thanks Martyn again

regards

Ronnie

I have never heard a VT30, but I have a friend who is getting excellent sound from a Vox AD15-VT (using also a Zoom G7).
It's even loud enough to play live with a real drummer at a club meeting in a 45 people room.

Thanks Didier for replying..... The VT 30 is Loud okay but Just getting the Right Tone to use the Zoom G2.1u Pedal is my Problem

Have you tried using the AC15 emulation ?

My friend has the Line 6 and I plugged the G2 into that, I'm afraid I was not able to get much of a sound out of it (however I did not persevere long enough really). I got closer quicker with the VT (if that makes sense).

I have the Vox VT15 you need to drop the gain right back, I must admit the more experience I gain and the more I play the (for want of a better word) worse the VT sounds, I notice the tone & feedback more. Great for getting you going but I am not overly keen on the modelling amps anymore.
Now my Fender 65R has gone back & I am getting a refund I am looking again for a new amp (all be it on a limited budget, so will probably be a solid state for now) just to decide if I get a replacement 65R.

I've used a Line6 PodPro since it first came out several years ago, and gigged with it continually until I retired. Always 100% reliable with a good range of sounds at the fingertips, and easy to setup to a very accurate degree via my mac in 1% stages. Since then, about 10-12 years on there have been many improvements and while I couldn't say how it compares in a back to back comparison with Voxes it gives me a close resemblance to what I remember of the Vox sound. I have the AC15, 30, and 30TB, Bassman, Twin and many more at the press of a button. It also has the ability to download other owners tones to if need be.
So I give it a thumbs up.

Hi Didier, when you say AC 15 emulation, do you mean AC15 Vox Amp or one Drive in the Modelling Amps.., Thanks for your Reply.

To Pittnuma ( DC) Thanks for the reply.
When You say Plugging the Zoom G2 into the Line 6 Amp, you did not get much of a Sound.
Did you use any settings on the Line 6 or take off the Drives in the Zoom G2 Pedal, would be interested in which way it sounded...Thanks again
