Gah, now I feel really silly for somehow missing that post of KbD. Many thanks for bringing it up, G-Dog. - and even more thanks to Kill by Death, yes, both for the patient reply above and for that great explanation that G-Dog brought up just now. I take all this as a general recommendation...

Compared to other bass amps (combos) you have tried, would you classify this gain hiss/buzz of Vox among the quieter, average, or a bit hissier ones? Apologies for asking kind of about a thing that has already been answered, I'm just really a bit obsessed with clean sound.

I'm thinking of perhaps putting some mosquito net over that grille, once I get mine... That comp sounds like it will give me some room to experiment with my fast pick playing. Could probably add some extra consistency to it.

I guess it won't quite match the buzzy overdrive of that Orange C.B.50 thing ( ), but it's cool to know that it sounds satisfying enough :D. I have kind of treated that overdrive part with a bit of skepticism, and haven't even thought that I might end up being able to use this amp with some...

And I end up pretty much decided on the Vox - though I still wanted to ask you: what do you think of its compressor powers? Interesting and fun, or largely redundant (and maybe the distortion, too, if you have some extra thoughts on it)?

...an unexpected status update: that transformer-buzzing OrangeCrushBass50 amp that I had tested and disliked for its constant working noise, and sent back, got reported today by the music shop as having some faulty circuitry - as their other unit of this kind that they have on sale doesn't have...

Aye, I have read those break-in posts at the beginning of this thread and will have that in mind. My only remaining worry is that the previously-tested Orange Crush Bass 50 seemed to be best sounding in the louder registers... which makes me wonder how good is this amp for more quiet, calm kind...

Many thanks for your reply! I don't really mind some noise if I crank everything way up; that's kind of to be expected, I guess. I am just really irked by amps that have that electric buzz just because they are turned on, even without anything plugged in and with them grounded to the utmost of...

I am considering getting one of these little magical boxes, but I have one nagging question... I like having the potential to go a bit usefully loud, but I often end up playing rather medium-quietly - and at that kind of volume the innate electric amplifier hum of a previously tested Orange...
