So is it a pure, tube only amp, or is it partially digital also, what's the deal w/ that?

It's partially digital in order to model the other fender amp models it emulates. But it emulates them quite well for a little 10 inch speaker. However I took a line out and put it through another tube amp power section with v30 celestion and it sounded killer on the various models. I know I digress...most of the new amps have some digital circuitry before the power tubes these days. But for most musicians it's how the amp sounds regardless...as in if it sounds good...it is.

All the amplification is through the tubes. There are two channels. Channel 1 is straight tube amp with one volume control as well as bass and treble. Classic setkup. You also have the option of adding effects, which are digital -- such as three choices of reverb and other effects. I prefer channel one as I do all my overdrive and other effects from my pedal board. But whatever you do with it, it's a tube sound. It has that smooth tube overdrive. And there are tubes in the amplification channel -- which is they key feature. It sounds as good as my 1966 Vibrolux blackface, at much lesser volume, of course.

It's a pure tube amp but it has digital effects as well. So, you can use the clean tube sound or add digital effects to the chain (e.g. reverb, delay, distortion). You can set them up with fender fuse.

The preamp section is digital (DSP), and the output section is tube (2-6V6 w/ 12ax7 as a phase inverter). As such, the amp is a hybrid.

Yeah. Single 4ohms and even dual 4 ohms. I game mine to my son and it works like a charm. Cheap amp. Just keep in mind that there are some defective ones out there . But P.A will repair it for free. Minus shipping and handling.

Bro I'll be 100% honest it's a good amp but it's for sure not pushin 3000 amps. It hits hard but it has it's limit and will shut off if pushed too hard...one you have it set and equalized right it's a solid amp I have 2 bridged subs on it and it works perfect. Out of the 4 mths I've had it, it's only overheated once and shut off maybe 3 times because I turned it past it's limit lol but overall it's pretty good man iwould suggest it for a good sound for sure!

Also, beware that tube amps will hold a significant charge long after the have been unplugged. Sonds like this only has a tube in the preamp stage, but be careful!

Hi Lane, This amp is a real machine. It run low/quiet and you can use ipod straight in. I used it with an ipad straight in and the sound quality is superb. Hope this helps.

It is digital. It uses Composite Object Sound Modeling (COSM). This link may help: http://www.bossus.com/boss_users_group/article.php?ArticleId=1319 I own one that I use for my Suhr Badger. I'm very pleased with the tone. It compares favorably with the spring tank reverbs in my other amps with the advantage of being more adjustable.

No. I'm no expert...it's my first amp, but it works great as is...just plug and play.

I was a bit disappointed with this amp as there is only ONE channel (one input that can be used at a time.) Fender calls it a 2 channel amp but means that there is two sets of controls to set voices and effects, that you can switch between with a button or foot switch. The amp has good volume and sound and can take an aux input from maybe a MP3 player. If you want to play "Clean", just turn all of the effects off. The so called "Clean" channel is fixed and if used, it cuts out anything plugged into the standard input.

sorry I'm not to tech savvy. I had a friend help and I didn't know much of what was going on. I do have a separate amp, which is an inuke nu1000sp, made by a behringer. I have 3 total, 1 each on three chairs. they do work really good, especially compared to the higher price ones. if I can find more info I will let you know.

You can buy the tube from most music stores, or online. Just get the tube model

I have been using mine to drive headphones and the tube provides nice warmth to sound. The single tube is basically signal preamp providing about 3-4 watts of power. Only a single tube can be used at this stage. The stereo is handled by solid state circuit. This is really a tube solid state hybrid amplifier and not a full tube amp.

Hello! It is USB and I don't think it connects directly into a normal amp. However it's output can be routed through one via your sound card.

No, in fact, there are no electronic pick- ups in this guitar, and therefore, no way to use an amp. It is strictly acoustic.

I connected it to the AMP directly. However it doesnt have good sound resolution. I would avoid if you are looking for excellent sound quality.if however you have a Computer 5.1 set like Creative speakers, etc. It is functional...

Also, this is not a tube driven amp. Its a solid state that sends the signal through the tube. Meaning, your 44VSL most likely has the same componentry minus the 12ax7 tube...so it would be a bit redundant to add this...unless you just have to have that tube driven sound.
