Well, there was no reply, but I hate un-finished threads, last night I sold some gear, (guitar amp and pedals) and today I'm picking up my new amp, I managed to get a vt100 with the vox footswitch thingy for 200 quid so I'll be spending the next 6month's trying to work the bigger out :-)  I'll let you know how I get on

Hey guys, looking at some amps to up my sound, (guitar) one of the ones that caught my eye was the vox vt100. Anyone used one of these. What do you guys think?

I've found charity shops are the place to look, I saw a sunn mustang in one a few months back for £40 it had good action, didn't plug it in, but pups are cheap so even if the whole lot needed 're wiring, 60-80 quid for a solid guitar ain't bad

the wifes uncle has an old black squire strat (the one which just said STRAT, not stratocaster) he was gifted; it squealed like hell when it was plugged in (not from string feedback, but the hum on the pickups) anyway, today we ripped out the now almost yellow (once white) scratch plate and wiring and soldered on a new electrics setup: all black scratch plate, controls & pups (from an old columbus strat) which we picked up for £15 in a local 2nd hand guitar shop.  added to that the full £1.50 for a trem arm and £5 for a set of strings (not to mention £3 for the solder to fix it).  he now has a rather swanky looking black on black strat for a mere £24.50.  I'll post a pic of once i get one.
it would have been cheaper as we found some solder in the house once we got back.  the all black looks fantastic.

I just noticed my step daughters Tele on the far right too :-)
