Which it's technically not but in the world of modeling it kinda is. there may be newer amps that come along and do things better but it will always have a place in my heart like an old classic vintage amp. I'll be sure to let you know my thoughts. I could be wrong though - are they trying to model particular amps or just going for general sounds? In terms of the models offered on the AV, are they different than those on the VTX? There are fewer of them and I was assuming they were sort of a subset but more simply named. I personally love presets - not the one's that come on the amp (although a few of those have been decent starting points), but just the ability to save my own groups of settings. I find some pretty nice settings sometime, but it can be a PIA when I'm in the flow of playing to go make all of the right adjustments to get to another group of settings I really liked and then find the original setup again. That may or may not be important to you but it's pretty big to me. With the AV amps as I understand it, it's ONLY workable in manual mode - there are various amp models but no opportunity to save anything. But then if you hit on a combination of settings that really nails a sound you're after, you can just hit one of the preset bank buttons on the VTX and save it as a preset. For me the VTX series makes more sense because you can play it just as simply as the AV amps by just putting them in manual mode. I sort of gathered the AV series was that much closer to a tube amp, but I've talked to a few people who have played both and find the differences really small, if noticeable at all. I don't know if there's a significant sound difference between them.
