Legacy drive

Folks, Commander Vai has this new Legacy Drive pedal for those into his tone & tube lovers alike. Yes, a 12AX7 tube is in there for em, tube-likeness 😜 My personal experience with tube-equipped pedals- they aren't quite like what they are in amps. Some of them are next to awful. Regardless, here's the Commander himself playing through the Legacy Drive & you just might agree with me that this is one of the worst playing by him: 

VOX: VTX amps

Just when we thought everything's taking a back seat moving towards the end of the year, Vox released its VTX range of amplifiers featuring a single 12AX7 pre-amp valve & the manufacturer's modelling technology. I've tried the Valvetronix range & would opine that the voicings are pleasant. We look forward to hear these VTXs in action in the stores here.
