yeah, Im thinking of getting the ge-7. I'll stay away from behringer's eq pedal as per your advise. Thanks.

Hopefully I will be able to find a tone suitable to my liking. Not that I dont appreciate the AD's features/tones. I guess Im still soul searching/experimenting for a 'special' tone for myself biggrin.gif

ermm... Im a proud vox ad30vt owner biggrin.gif

On changing tube yourself, I would reckon that you can change it yourself. (Ive never done it before though blush.gif ). How much? ermm donno. Im in KKinabalu so I would not know. But if I were you, I would check with nik of ceriatone or with bentley music in KL.

changing tubes so quickly? better to get someone who is experienced to do the change, since this involves many things like biasing and stuff like that.

My ad30vt is still running fine. I do not plan to change the tube at the moment.
btw, what is biasing? I thought that changing the tube would be as easy as taking out the old tube and putting on a new one? Just like changing a light /lamp bulp? Im new to this hmm.gif

clicky
Heres an article about how to bias and basically what biasing affects in the amp. Truth be told, I'm not sure whether this is relevant or not since our amp is using a preamp tube in the power amp section. Assuming it works like how it should, this should play a role.

Anyway, I'm not very well versed in tube and how amps work, there are people who are better versed than me, so google for more info.

Final note, threadstarted is having finals now. Cut him some slack for the time being. =D

Hope it helps dooooood XD

Ryo (ad15vt)
judas (ad30vt)
winkybear (ad50vt)

-YS- (ad50vt)
(p/s: I may have missed some names. I didnot checked this thread thoroughly)

my  son  liked  the  VOX  and  we  decided  to  get  AD50VT over  the  AD30VT  so  that  future  no  need  to  consider  upgrading.

Got  it  for  RM1160  whereas  AD30VT  they  offered  RM870.  Wanted  to  get  the  floor  channel  selector  but  out  of  stock.

Ive just tried that using my pc power cable and my ad30vt hissing stop/drastically reduce the hissing. I dont have to noise reduce aggressively, even when using hi-gain amp model

Nice tip judas. Thanks for sharing.

~~ Me gonna try find some old pc electrical power source cable to replace my vox 2 pin socket cable. If cant find, kena beli new 3 pin socket cable la...
