Another vote for the orange crush. i think mines 30 watts, but I wish they made a 50w head version. Do like the cleans.

Agreed on the gain channel by the way. It's not complete crap... just.. unusable. And farty. Do not want.

yeah what didnt you like? it looks so cool.. (which isn't all that counts, but y'know. i'm shallow.)

I tried the nano when they first came out and they just sounded 'fizzie' to me (is that a word?).  Reallt annoying buzz square like distortion that remonded me of the those transistor HH combo's of the 70's.

Anyone tried either the

Vox Pathfinder 10?

I have a Cambridge 15.. kinda close. Great little amp for the money IMO. I swapped out the 12ax7 for a high gain TungSol. I get a passable dirty sound out of it with a RAT in 'boost mode' pounding the front end. I get a better dirty sound by cleaning up the amp and dirtying up the RAT. The clean sound is ok. That said, I think the money would be better spent on a Champ.

I havent used it in years.. tried plugging it in last night (10V adapter instead of 9V should work NP)
No lights came on, then I plugged it in thinking mayeb the LED was F'd.. Nada.. I opened her up to see
if there was any obvious burn points or whatever.. looked clean.. Oh well, I got it for free... Now puts me
on he hunt for a REVERB pedal.. I have an alesis midi verb 3 as well.. but thats in my rack..
want something for my Effects table..

Ill prolly try to find a champ eventually.. but these other amps are so cheap, I don't mind dropping $100-$150 a month on a new little guy..

I had my eyes out for that cambridge.. baby tube vox.. nice!
