 Vox Concert 501
Anyone know about these amps, seem to have 2 EL34's big transformers and 6 12AX7's. Two channels, master volume and reverb. Are they any good?  
 
 
 
I did not have a chance to play/hear the one I saw. But it is cheap, as someone took it out of original cabinet (I assume it was a combo) into a flight cased head.

Andrew, the other guitaris in my band (shameless plug: http://listen.to/skybolt6 ) uses one of these. The clean channel is great - lots of Vox / Hiwatt style British chime. The dirty channel is a bit harsh, but subbing some 12AU7s for the dirty channel valves helps a lot. BTW the combo is very '80s looking. Maybe find a place that'll make you a nice Vox-looking combo cab - ours has 1 12" Fane 100W spkr. IMHO not very responsive. A Vintage 30 would help a lot.
