I´m musician now for 25 years and I bought this amp a year ago for our rehearsal room. I´ve a Koch Tube Amp, which I only wanted to use on stage because there are sometimes parties in the rehearsal room. The VT 50 is easy to use, the sounds are good at lower volumes, for home practising i would recommend it. BUT, when you want to compete with the drummer at higher volumes, the sounds get worse. The only sounds which are okay at higher volumes are the clean sound and very light crunched sound. High gain sounds are ugly in higher volumes in my opinion. Maybe my ears are spoiled from my tube amp but it cannot compete, in no way. CONCLUSION: A good amp for practising at lower volumes at home, especially for beginners, but at higher volumes this amp cannot compete with a tube amp. It doesn´t even come close. I hope this helped. Best regards Stephan from AustriaRead full review

While this is primarily known as a modeling amp, what most appealed to me was the ability to get at any tone in "manual" mode, without scrolling through menus and sub-menus. Great, all analog control of every parameter, including a nice selection of effects... the amp models deserve special mention, not just the "usual suspects", but boutique offerings like Trainwreck and Dumble Overdrive Special are available. The Vox models are as very good as you might expect, and the amp sounds and feels good at almost any volume - ideal for home recording. The valve reactor technology really works as advertised, and this thing is a little blowtorch, plenty loud enough for jams and smaller venue gigs, and easy to carry at a bit over 30 lb.
Great amp, great sounds, great power. You can either scare your neighbours to death with I´ts power, or play quietly in the middle of the night without loosing the effect of the sound or disturbing the neighbours. Sounds great all over with clean or with heavy distorted sound. About a year ago, In a very weak moment I exchanged my Vox VT50, against a Epiphone DOT, but now I´m exchanging the Vox back and I´m happier than ever. This amp is well worth the money, and whatever you do if you are planning to get this amp, get the footswitch and it is getting even easier.
Great little amp. Have owned many over my 40 years of playing including an old VOX Berkley II. Love the sounds!
Loved it...except the 65 $ extra charge across the Border GST and Border fees Amp sounds great...very nice effects and really loud!
