Hey, sorry for the delayed response, my laptop broke

I really like my Valvetronix amp, it has that tube feel and push along with the various digital modeling sounds, and being able to change the wattage is sweet, especially with neighbors, I can have it at 1 watt for practicing and 100 for jamming full on with a drummer. I mainly use the US hi gain channel(similar to 5150 and SlO 100) for lead and rythem and the Blackface for cleans. The recto model isnt very good. Tommi Inkila over on the petrucci forums has some really good clips of the 15 watt version do a search at petrucciforum.com .
I recorded a clip too, though it is with a six string. putfile.com/edgecrusher ,the clip on the right.

Both my clips and Tommi's are done direct with the line out which has cabinet simulation; it sounds great and makes recording a snap.

I emailed Tommi to get his settings because I was blown away by his sound and he was really nice and gave them to me. These settings are a great basis for getting the best sounds. The amp is really bass heavy, so be sure to keep it down for a tight sound.
Treble: 1 o klok
Mids: 1 o klok
Bass : 9 o klok
Volume: 12 o klok
Master 12 o klok (though I usually crank it up a bit more when not recording)

I highly recomend this amp, its great for the price. I could never get a good non digital sound with any line6 amp, but its very easy with the Vox.
