andinomm's Electronic Studio Setup
The pic is from the summer, some things have upgraded. Ain't great, and lots of things are not in the shot (guitars) but it's some kind of cheapo student settlement

Decent amplifier but when the gain starts to go high the sound starts to cause pain
Basically I have been using this amp for more than 3 years. What I can say is that it emulates pretty decent some of the Vox's favorites (AC30, '59 brits, boutique, and so on) and as a beginner it is really useful to experience different sounds and see which one you like for further aquisitions. It has 4 modulation effects, 2 delays and 2 reverbs which get as good as they can be (the spring reverb could be more squishy) with both rythm tap setting and "amount". My main issue with this amplifier is that it amplifies the high frequencies in a very disturbing and painful way. I own a Squier Telecaster and, for a long time, I thought that the issue is my bridge pickup being cheap but since I bought an interface, the disturbing highs problem is gone. When you put it on clean, use the bridge pickup and set the gain to pretty high it just causes a very disturbing high frequencies amplification. I must note that it has a trebble and a bass knob which make a difference but you either cut the highs entirely or just make them really painful. My other issue is that switching between amp presets resets your settings to the default ones, so the knobs' position will not represent the true value for a given setting (eg: volume knob is turned down but after switching to a preset the volume sets to that default loud value and you can change it to the desired one by moving the knob a little bit). Maybe this thing is fixable and I didn't find the way to fix it. Pros: flexibile in generes (funk, pop, rock, metal, jazz, psychedelic, and so on), many settings for the price (gain,EQ,modulation,reverb,delay, volume, master), headphones out and external jack in (you can play along with music from a device but its performance as a standalone speaker is pretty poor), low E tuner (which I never used) Cons: awful high frequencies processing, confusing at first, some presets have poor eq/distorsion
