I currently have a Vox AD15VT. I like it but its just that its a hybrid amp with one tube and it's not a genuine tube amp :(. Its like buying a MIM strat and always wanting a MIA strat. Should I keep it or sell it and upgrade to the blackheart or the blackstar ht-5?
 
It seems like right now, you are going through a point where you don't quite know what you want.

What kind of music do you play?
Are you jamming with other people or are you just needing a good amp for home/apartment?

It's hard to just compare AMP A vs AMP B and say which is better. There's a lot of people that can help you around here but you need to let them know HOW you plan to use your gear. :thumbsup:
 
yea im pretty confused about what gear to get i mean if i get a combo = i dont need an attenuator but I learned some do have an external output so I could add an attenuator in. I live with my parents moving out in a year to college so I need something that WON'T GET TOO LOUD = anything over 50 watts tube is a no no unless I have an attenuator or a master volume or I buy an interface and run it into ableton live.

I'm a hobbyist, so I don't wanna do this as a job and I jam sometimes with my friends, but I'm not in a band. The guitar aspect I'm gonna go to GC and just try out as many as I can.

Now about amps, I know I can get a VERY NICE one here or at other forums but it's probably gonna be VERY LOUD. I've been recommended the blackstar ht-5, but it's pretty much impossible to find (waiting a month for a 300 dollar amp LOL).

I play metal (modern/thrash/shred) and post rock and classic rock (king crimson/pink floyd). I know I'm not gonna be able to get Twin Reverb like cleans from any of these amps but the cleans on my vox ad15vt are good enough for me, so if the HT-5 has better cleans than my vox hybrid, im happy.

I also did some research on the various TC ELECTRONICS Pedals and the Eventide ones but I'd prefer an analog delay a spring reverb (holy grail and the mxr carbon copy) to those pedals.
