The Super 4x10 sounds great. </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=4323#post-22964 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 23:18:00 +0000 cosmicrepairdude 22964@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>Ok, I just did my little self-imposed homework assignment and I can report that you can indeed get a fine overdriven bluesy SRV-ish tone with no external pedal on the VT30. YMMV on the VT50, but it shouldn't be too different.<br /> I was able to get that sound using the Tweed 4x10, Super 4x10, and AC30TB by jacking up the Gain to taste. Adding some compression, using the Comp/Chorus setting and then turning the Chorus effect off, helped. The instructions on how to do that are in the manual.<br /> Tweed 4x10 is a quieter model, so the gain needs to be cranked higher to get that effect than on the other 2. </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=4323#post-22955 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 16:47:46 +0000 cosmicrepairdude 22955@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>I find the most satisfying bluesy clean tones with Super 4x10, AC30TB, Tweed 4x10, and Boutique Clean. You can either set the gain at the point just before it gets dirty and then add dirt with the pedal, or you can set the gain so it is a little dirty and then have the pedal add more.<br /> And you can add compression and/or chorus as SRV has some of that, too, on some tunes. You can also try rotary instead of chorus. </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=4323#post-22954 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 15:45:52 +0000 voxman 22954@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>Already given above </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=4323#post-22947 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 13:06:29 +0000 rjh11 22947@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>ok now i just need to know what amp model effects etc would i need to use as a starting block. thanks again for such quick responses. </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=4323#post-22946 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 12:42:58 +0000 cosmicrepairdude 22946@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>Yup.<br /> <a href="http://rontech.blogspot.com/2007/04/digitech-bad-monkey.html" rel="nofollow">http://rontech.blogspot.com/2007/04/digitech-bad-monkey.html</a><br /> <a href="http://digimantis.com/www/the-arts/music/review-digitech-bad-monkey" rel="nofollow">http://digimantis.com/www/the-arts/music/review-digitech-bad-monkey</a><br /> <a href="http://www.tdpri.com/forum/stomp-box/89702-help-understanding-difference-between-bad-monkey-ts-pedals.html" rel="nofollow">http://www.tdpri.com/forum/stomp-box/89702-help-understanding-difference-between-bad-monkey-ts-pedals.html</a><br /> <a href="http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&#38;source=web&#38;cd=2&#38;ved=0CCcQFjAB&#38;url=http%3A%2F%2Facapella.harmony-central.com%2Fshowthread.php%3F2058755-Tubescreamer-or-Bad-Monkey&#38;ei=hQq0TdK_B8qBtgeD9vzpDg&#38;usg=AFQjCNHlfoZ51Tu2aOUPKroqlH7Q6a_MSQ&#38;sig2=MEyB8TmWM7FUoEbD9MIf8Q" rel="nofollow">http://www.google.ca/url?sa=t&#38;source=web&#38;cd=2&#38;ved=0CCcQFjAB&#38;url=http%3A%2F%2Facapella.harmony-central.com%2Fshowthread.php%3F2058755-Tubescreamer-or-Bad-Monkey&#38;ei=hQq0TdK_B8qBtgeD9vzpDg&#38;usg=AFQjCNHlfoZ51Tu2aOUPKroqlH7Q6a_MSQ&#38;sig2=MEyB8TmWM7FUoEbD9MIf8Q</a> </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=4323#post-22945 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 12:17:17 +0000 rjh11 22945@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>Thanks for the info. Would my Bad Monkey be suitable? </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=4323#post-22942 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 05:31:20 +0000 cosmicrepairdude 22942@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>I'll try this out tomorrow when I have the house to myself, but I believe you can get a reasonable facsimile of that tone by turning up the gain on either of the 2 4x10 models and possibly also adding some compression. I'll try it out and report back. </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=4323#post-22940 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 04:01:35 +0000 voxman 22940@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>Sorry, but you need a tubescreamer for SRV tone - without this it can't be done. Although the new VT+ range has a pedal section, with tube OD that models an Ibanez TS808 tubescreamer, the VT doesn't.</p> <p>Otherwise, Fender Bassman or possibly a cranked Fender Blackface model is the nearest you can get. </p> http://www.voxamps.com/forum/topic.php?id=4323#post-22935 Sun, 24 Apr 2011 01:44:26 +0000 rjh11 22935@http://www.voxamps.com/forum/ <p>I need some advice on getting a good blues tone Srv style out of my vt 50 my guitar has coil spliting so i can go single coil but im still having trouble any help and info would rock. Thanx Ryan </p>
