Vox AD xx VT series effects loop...

raithza

Hey..

I know a few people here own Vox VT series amps. One of the few problems with these amps is the lack of an effects loop. Now, I'm interested in playing around with a looper in the near future (i.e. next month when i can afford one), for which I'd really need a loop. So I googled and found this:

or

Anyone here brave enough to try it? I can't solder to save my life so I'd probably take it to an amp tech in the area... Anyone know of a good amp tech in the Stellenbosch/Cape Town area?

side note - if you have a newer VT series amp, you can get this kit which is pretty dang cool... ?

I want to get one from Bob too but my Paypal account is not working.
Its an easy mod if you are vaguely adept with the correct soldering iron.

I've decided I'm definitely getting the kit. I've contacted him via email and he said shipping will be $25 - maybe we should order together to split costs?

I don't have a paypal account though - Think I'm going to use a friend's paypal...

My VT100 has an effects loop ?

One of the reasons I got it over the other models..

Yeah. Although I think if I had to re-buy I'd get the 50VT and mod the fx loop in - that 100 looks heavy!

30+kg

Really..really heavy, 2 people has to carry it.
But it's worth it to me ?
