Timex said:I always thought that the AVT has a single 12AX7 premap and a transistor power amp.U mean that is completely transisitor now?
MadWereWolfBoy said:look for features and the clean sounds of the amp... i see u got a pod... maybe u shouldn't get a new amp but insead invest in other equipments like paddles or guitar upgrades? or maybe get PAs?
havin ur 15watt marshall is good enough for home use... if u're doin gigs, just use house PA systems since u got a pod

subversion said:it's a complete solidstate now. the models which had a single preamp tube in the system were the VS (Valve State) series, discontinued at the turn of the century...

not true, my 35W bass amp has an FX loop feature & it's $300 (list)... 8)
why not just buy the above amp? it can definitely handle guitars...
thor666 said:subversion - sorry but i think you're confused this time...:?:
the AVT20,50,50H etc all have at least one tube for preamp section. I'm an owner of an AVT50 and what I'm supplied with for the manual (tsk) is a combined AVT20, 50 and 50H manual, which states that the Valvestate 2000 range have have an ECC83 valve in their preamp stages.
if memory serves me right, it's the earlier some models of the VS series that didn't have a tube in it. vaguely remember that vs15r was solidstate all the way...
stars said:can tell me more about this amp ? for home practice use would it make sense to up from a vox T-15 bass amp to this one ? thanks bro
sorry for going off topic
lppier said:That was me haha. I don't really like the tone the smarvo has on the gt2... makes it sound different from what you hear through speakers.

mattleesc said:i heard smarvos crap out on the gt2 in a previous thread..
lppier said:Haha I need the money, but it's true that the gt2 sounds good through the smarvo now, wanted to clear things up, coz I know a few guys who wanted to buy found my thread and decided not to buy, kinda self-defeating. :lol:
