1 x 8 (3)


Next pair up; Joyo Zombie + VOX BC108 👍

This had been a good combo, reasons being:
  • There was a healthy serving of bass despite the BC108's driver being small. The implication- good EQ coming from the Zombie
  • Clarity in both clean & OD channels. Managed to add chorus to clean settings & it sounded good. Unexpected.
  • Can hear how volume contributed to gain, not that dynamic (because the power section is not tube based) but the difference was there
As the Zombie was bluetooth ready, I managed to stream over some songs but it was clear that guitar amps & cabs are meant more for instrument signals rather than general applications.

1 x 8 (2)


The Vox BC108 was first paired up with the beast, aka, EVH 5150III. The lack of bottom end was rather apparent. If you look closely, I had to trim down the treble end to less than 25% & it basically stayed that way regardless of the guitars I played. The up side however is the presence of clarity which you'd appreciate in times of solos. These small drivers are particularly inviting for clean tones with lots of chorus but we know how the 5150 was not cut out for such tasks (yes, the LBX II would be more appealing for its clean channel).
