So it should be a simple choice.. the basic decision is 1. Peavey - Proper valve amp with nothing extra. 2. Vox - Great versatility and plenty of things to play with, but not a true valve amp. So it depends how much you want all the effects and amp models dude.

Thanks. :x I also found this: http://www.giggear.co.uk/p/Blackstar-Series-One-45/ Edited by Leif, Jan 21 2009, 08:18 PM.

If i get the Peavey then all i need is a good pedal and i'm good to go but without it my amp is just plain. If i get the vox though then i get everything in one unit but witjh slightly less power and clarity. I decided on the vox twice now but i keep going back to the quality of the Peavey....So What would you do?

I bought a Vox as my first decent amp upgrade from owning 4 or 5 amps previously, but they had all been regular SS amps. Once i had this for 2 years, when i had saved enough i bought a nice Valve amp, and i'm glad i did it that way! Because i think if i hadn't then i'd feel like i wasn't getting everything i wanted from just the valve amp!! So yeah it kinda got all the ooo more distortion!! more chorus!! more phaser!! out of my system. But maybe thats a biased opinion considering i have both to choose from now, i'm sure that's how i would have thought about it then as well though.
