I have a DIY modded Super V that I got off ebay a while back. it has a top boost switch, and DC switch, a cut knob and a bright switch. all other knobs the same as stock. it sounds very good, or so I thought until I played a Vox up close for a while. The tone of that amp was great, warm and like a box of bees, or whatever the term is. it's true. warm and soft on in the center and aggressive and thwacky at the same time
I don't want to buy a new amp but I could shed a few pieces of gear to get a very good Vox type mod.
so, which one sounds right on the money? I had the Salvo which I could not dial in, this is before I really understood how to use a vox style pre.
Is there any hope in achieving this sound, true vox tone in a mod? or is it still only approximate. seems like a tough sound to get from anything but a Vox. will I just be disappointed?
I guess I'm asking for a comparison to actual voxes and what folks think of the mods next to them. I know folks will say the x mod rocks or the y mod is the best but I''m wondering if there might be some more to it than that.
Thanks much
