I like The Vox better then the Cube, because of the Valve....... sure... it's not a true power amp valve, but still hits that sweet spot in the crunch overdrives. Pair it with an OD like the ZW-44 (More Zakk/Jim Dunlop plugging), Boss SD-1 or Digitech's Bad Monkey and it's good enough for hard rock stuff.

hmm? i tihnk the ad-series can cut it for metal lo
on the rectifier model, i set gain less than half, and with the overdrive at 2 o'clock its pretty much over the top distortion for me alr =/

hey mate ..if you are getting a practice amp..modeling amp ..VOX AD , Cube..sounds fine
but for a gigging amp , i wouldn't get a modeling amp
i will go for something transparent ..
you can try Laney LV100 ...or Tube fusion series..if you can find any
going for a peavey bandit sounds good too

I'm not quite familiar with the Peavey or the Laney,and i'm not sure where I can get those amps I've heard so many good things bout the VOX and I'm currently streaming audio clips of some VOX from UG and man! They sound good! And btw,i've been wondering for quite a while,how different is the sound between a hybrid amp and an all-tube amp??

Decided to buy him a set of Toca Sheila E.'s signature congas

valvetronix were there... 15W, 30W and even the double speaker 50W / 100W.
AC15 , AC15x, AC30, AC30x were also there....
i'm looking at the ad30.
the AC's are too expensive for me....
