As above, great plug and play amp. For home noodling and recording.
Not a mark on it, looks brand new !
Really pleased .... so far. ..
bit of tweaking and reading manual, simple to use and some pretty good sounds!
Cheers Mark. :-)

They're really rather good, are they not?

I liked the AC30TB and the UK70s models the most.

got an ad15vt. Nice amps - wouldn't say no to a bigger one, cheap!

I had an AD50VT as a backup amp for a couple of years - quite often ended up using it at rehearsals as it was light and sounded really rather decent.  I've certainly owned far worse sounding amps, and several of those had a full compliment of glowing bottle thingies in them.

Thanks for the comments
took a couple of months to find it !
Mine is mint , only had it 3 days, simple to use and couldn't be happier!
Not tried any pedals with it yet. ... is there any tips with what works or not?
Thanks in advance.
Cheers Mark.

User feedback is that it works well with most (but not all) pedals. But then the same can be true of other amps too (eg Blackstar). 

The AD50VT doesn't have the bells and whistles of the later versions but the good things are it comes with a bona-fide Celestion speaker, it has an 8 Ohm extn cab out (although the internal speaker cuts off when this is used), and most 2-button footswitches work with it to switch chnnels.  It can only store 2 patches, but it's a nice sounding amp with good tone and plenty of punch.  If ever you were thinking of mods, I can tell you now that the best and most popular one is to have an FX loop installed and insert a simple 7-band stomp EQ in the loop - it's like taking off a blanket you didn't know was there!

Have a look in over at Valvetronix.net - tons of info on these amps, and especially check out the FAQ section with tips/tricks, e.g.

Thanks for reply VOXMAN!
I had a no brand THOMANN 2 button footswitch that I was using for my vox Cambridge !
my vox Cambridge developed a humming noise after about 10mins playing. And to be honest wasn't happy with the sound of it
:-(.
just working out what to do with my old Cambridge 30r single 10' speaker ?
cheers Mark.

@Voxman

At the risk of asking a silly question:

Does the same apply for an ad15vt, would you say?

Definitely - and many folk have done this to make their small amps sound a bit bigger and fuller, and with a bit more volume.  There are even tech articles with details at Valvetronix.net

Thanks, @Voxman - I'll look into that!
