Big sound, little amp.
Quality:
It's solid, affordable, and the look and tones are just plain tasty! Quit reading my stupid review and get the VT50!
Sound:
Tone? How about TONES! 22 to be exact. This amp is incredibly flexible as far as tone goes. Good for any style, be it my trashy, gritty rock, or smooth jazz.
Reliability:
I'm still new to the VT50. As far as I can tell, though, it's solid. This amp, I can tell, will most likely hold up just fine.
Overall:
Basically, this little guy has power! Until I heard the VT50, I was Mesa all the way, but this amp is horribly underrated. All 22 models on the VT50 have a stand alone sound. All of them are unique and clear as day. This amp also has POWER! It's hard to find a 50 watt amp that holds its own versus drums. It may not look impressive, but this amp simply rocks.
Playability and Feel:
It's, as I've said, flexible. It has everything you'd want from an amp, minus size.
Tone:
The tone is all over the place. This amp is GREAT for any guitarist.
Finish:
It's a very vintage looking amp, but modern at the same time. Both classy and badass.
Action:
As I've said before, this amp is a powerful little guy. It holds up even when cranked up, and still wants more. Just get one!

Sound:
The tones are best with the cleans. From the Vox models to the Fenders.. I think this is where the amp really shines. The ability the fine tune the gain and gain volume really let's you create pretty much any sound. The overdrive models and crunch models aren't bad, they just need some good fine tuning to get a rich overdriven tone. The " sound famous" settings aren't really impressive and need to be EQ'd at the very least to be useable in my opinion.
Reliability:
I've owned this amp for 3 months. No problems to report.
Overall:
Overall I think this amp has a lot to offer, with only a few small setbacks. The amp models are all very distinct and different. The overall appearance is classy and pretty solid. On the 50 Watt no effects loop... So no wah/vol/expression. The amp is powerful and stands up to drums in a live setting but you have to up the mids to cut through. 100 watts is probably better for gigging, but the 50 holds it's own in practice and small gigs. There is a speaker out so additional cab will add to volume.
Tone:
The tones liked I mentioned earlier are exceptional especially on the clean settings. Some pretty good overdrive can be attained with that hint of tube driven power.
Action:
This amp played great right from the start. You can definately feel and hear the difference over a pure solid state amp. It's not pure tube but it sounds close.

This is a great amp crippled by poor design.
Sound:
Incredible, sound good with a variety of guitars.
Reliability:
No issues in the 2 months I had it.
Overall:
This is a perfect amp for the studio. The sounds are great with my Strat, LP Gold Top (P90's), and my RG470. The overdrive is creamy, the effects are pristine. Now the problems:
There are 8 presets that can be programmed by the user and selected via the footswitch. However, the volume spikes and then goes to the set level when switching between presets. Also, the effects can not be altered (i.e. Tap Tempo, Rotary speed, etc.) while in preset mode. In order to use the footswitch for Tap Tempo, you have to be in manual mode which limits you to one amp model. To top this off, if you start with overdrive in that particular model then THERE IS NO WAY TO GO TO A CLEAN CHANNEL!! What good is this on stage?? The only way to fix this is to run my RP7 pedal through the amp but why would I buy a modeling amp to use my old effects pedal?! This is a great amp crippled by poor design. I have a Bugera V55 on order to replace this amp.
Playability and Feel:
Good weight compared to 2x12 combos.
Tone:
Great tone, loved the AC15/30 models.
Finish:
Metal grill was a rugged touch.
Action:
Preset amp models sounded great.

Vox The King Of Beer {Amps}
Quality:
Like i said untill the end.
Sound:
The best out of all amps out there for a basic speaker they do a great job I will add a cabinet with a speaker of more Qaulity but i will have to bet that the sound will be great but the speaker in the amp is already a great sounding speaker that seems to only get better the more it is pushed.
Reliability:
For as long as i have had my vox Amps no problem and i think that they will be with me untill the end.
Overall:
Vox Amps have a tone and sound that everyone should try the vox amps are dead on to the original amps and the others are closer then any Line Six or other like amps out there and as for the money you spend vox is worth twice if not more .
Playability and Feel:
Good weight you know its made well but can still be moved by one person.
Tone:
Great tone and it seems to get better with time im sure if the speaker ever has to be changed i would be happy with a stock Vox speaker there tone is on track deep when you want and sharp for all out lead play.
Action:
Its a amp lets put it this way it does what its suppose to do and then some.
