Re: after months of looking...

maybe this is a dumb ??? but, how does it simulate a tube sound? or is it a form of a tube amp? been to marshall's home page and still not sure how it produces it's tone [img]/images/graemlins/confused.gif[/img]

If it's like the VS100s, they have a tube in the pre-amp section.

My Nehpew has one of those..They sound Good for Metal, and you scored it at the right price.

Re: after months of looking...

the smaller AVT's are great for practice, they do get a decent metal tone. our singer uses the 50 watt model live for the 4 songs he plays on ;-)

No, since it has a solid state poweramp, it will be just as loud-per-watt as a pure solid state.
