Question
hi i have a vox ad30vt i used to play through a les paul copy, but i was getting a real bad tone through all the amp models, i thought at first my guitar needed a set up with new strings but i brought the guitar home after the set up and it sounded moderatly better but still not very good at all, i then thought fuck it ill get a new guitar so i brought a epiphone sg but the sounds im getting are still shit can you help im going mad with it! cheers
Hi Dean, I would suggest you get one of Vox's tube amps if you like their sound. I'm positive that will remedy your problem in one fell swoop. Modeling amps never quite make the grade & you'll probably never be satisfied until you hear real tubes cooking up your signal for you. Hope that helps, if you need anything else, just drop me a line.
Peace - J.

Experience
I have been playing guitar for over 30 years & tour regularly with my band River City Junction. We play a mix of Blues, Jazz, Funk, Motown, R&B & Classic Rock so I can help answer any questions related to these genres as well. I also have extensive experience using many different brands of guitars, amplifiers & effects. I do most of my own work on my guitars, preferring not to let anyone else touch them so unless it's a regret or something that requires an actual luthier, it's taken care of in house. I also build & repair my own pedals & tube amps, so I can help with questions of a technical nature with regards to these subjects as well.
