You mean the AD models? I like them too except that you can't save many of your own sounds and only the bigger models have an fx loop.

I also prefer to turn knobs (like on a Cube say) rather than have to program values (Valvetronix).

I like chicken knobs. I have a Roland Cube RX, its a great practice ss amp. I put the drum machine on and riff away.

What are the cleans like on that one, are they warm? I hear some of the Roland stuff is quite good. Love the JC.

Cleans on the Cube, lol, I rarely go below 10 on gain...I spend my time checking to make the gain is all the way up. I know I have used the acoustic simulator and thought it sounded decent. That amp, for the money, just rules. I have taken it on trips, used batteries the entire time...loud too.

I've been a fan of Roland Jazz Chorus combos since the 80s. The clean chorused, delayed sounds, are so glassy and clean, like no other. Dirty tones egad = have a thin digital tone.

Hey Dark and Bytor, having been hit by a budgetary constraint (bleurggh) I have given up the idea of a boutique amp right now and am looking at other options (like up to US$,1000).

The Valvetronix and Roland SS amps were on the list .... the shop up the road has a nice new Roland JC-120. Hefty 28kg but has castors. I know the distortion is a shocker but with a few pedals ... didn't the Cure and The Cult use JCs?

I agree that a little Valvetronix would be really handy but it's not having the fx loop that bugs me as I've got this cool little Space Echo that I like to use a lot. There'd be just nowhere to put it on the Valvetronix. Although I think the Boutique Clean amp simulation in those is great.

But then the VT100 HAS an fx loop and is the same weight as the JC-120.

My Vox NT has lovely lovely tones but it breaks up TOO early for some of the stuff I want to do. It's a great superb little head/cab setup but not near enough the stuff I want. Really, I want a Fender Deluxe Reissue crossed with a JSX high gain channel all in a nice little package like the NT BUT with fx loop, spring reverb, footswitchable options etc. That would be my dream.
