Re: New Vox Night Train Amp
The new issue of guitar player mag has photos of six new tube amps but guitar player.com doesn't have the photos I want to download any ideas?

Good marketing!
Re: New Vox Night Train Amp
I bet they don't send me an amp for this marketing. I had wanted to make a cage amp and had been looking at the MOD, Zenstone 7, Burris, remembering my old Stromberg-Carlson and thought well these are good photos and information and maybe some one else was thinking about building an 18w cage amp as well.

That Vox steps all over the Orange TT and the Mesa Subway. When do we get to deconstruct one?

Re: New Vox Night Train Amp
Buddy of mine works in a local guitar shop. The Vox/Yamaha rep came in with a nighttrain, demo'd it, within minutes had 2 ordered for my buddy and his boss. And they are both anal amp freaks and gigging musos and have some nice gear allready. Sounds like its got the goods.
I have a handwired AC15, 6 months old. Since getting it, i have not used my Maz Jr.. they are on to something good. My buddy says it has the same cleans as my AC15 but has a more modern gain tone.
And how good does that cage look???

Hello!
I find it quite humorous reading the disclaimer on the rear of the amp:
"NO GUARANTEE IS APPLIED WHEN USED OUTSIDE OF JAPAN."
Perhaps that is because it is a 100V unit?

Re: New Vox Night Train Amp
I googled this, and came up with a lot of discussion on appearance-with too many people saying it is uglier than a TT.
Arg-I think it looks perfect for what it advertises to deliver tone-wise. The TT is intentionally ugly IMO.
Anyhoo-my mind goes right to "Spitfire", which I just built.
Thought you built a similar one, Mark...similar tube compliment.
Now that is an awesome sounding amp, without the doodads. Vol, Tone, cord, guitar. As she breaks in she only gets finer.
The street price is what kills me.
I would love to think I could start building amps for a profit, but there is no possible way at these prices.

Cygnus X1,
I love my little spitfire and kept it out during the recent flood to play around with. Decided to built a different front valance and I just can't seem to get my cutouts right oh well. I have been scoulded twice on 18watt.com for showing this amp as it is not the appropriate subject matter for their forum?
