Hi, i am looking for a small Vox amp for bedroom use. It must have a headphone socket and sound decent at really low volumes. I did own a Roland Cube 30 but the lowest volume was still too loud.

I have been looking into the Vox amps. Namely the ad15vt and the pathfinder in either the 10 or 15 watt version. Has anybody had experience with these amps? Which of these would people suggest?

Also i know vox do some other decent little combos like he vr series and the da5 or da15. Any advice or suggestions would be great.

I wanted to go for vox as i have tried most other brands and vox have a good reputation. I will be playing metal and clean stuff and not a lot inbetween but i am going more and more towards a warmer type of lower gain distortion than an all out high gain attack.

Thanks

i owned a ad30vt for a while. the onboard fx are really nice, and the cleaner amp modeling sounds pretty slick. i found it was best suited to british invasion type sounds, trashy blues / garage, or lush cleans. the hi-gain modelling is kind of shitty and i could never get into playing metal on it. it also didn't seem to take pedals very well. a really good self-contained practice amp for the money, but not geared towards metal imo.

ADVT series Vox's are also extremely prone to reliability problems. If you want a small quiet practice amp that slays for apartment playing get a Tech 21 Trademark 10. 10W, 8" speaker, shitloads of versatility(KILLER high gain sounds, and I love the band in your avatar ), built in spring reverb, FX loop, and all 100% analog path, no ugly digital modeling going on in it. Built like a brick shithouse. It does everything, good cleans, mild breakup stuff, and all high gain grind all extremely well. Closest you can get to tube sounds with solid state amplifiers these days. I had the 30W version and it ruled, someone here just bought the TM-10 for the same purpose(quiet playing) and he's loving it.

It has both a headphone jack and a balanced XLR output, for hooking up to a mixer/recorder for PA amplification, recording or hooking up headphones to it for monitoring)

I think the only way to get TM10's is 2nd hand though, not sure if they got discontinued very recently. If that's the case just check ebay, they sell for under 200$.

They show up on ebay for less, and many big stores still carry them, just not a lot of big ones have it listed on their online inventory.

I think in the uk they are hard to get. Just googled them and no uk site seems to have them. I did se one go on ebay the other day for £138 which is a little more than i planned to spend. is £70 for a vox ad15vt a good price ?
