I got myself an early birthday present today in the form of a lightly used Vox Mini Superbeetle.
I've been GASing for one of these since they came out but really felt the "need" for one since I went through a pretty major Beatles kick earlier this year (no idea why). I tried one out a few weeks ago and liked it but hadn't had time until today to go looking again. As it turned out, there was a lightly used one at the local store going for cheap, so I picked it up.
I've never owned a Vox amp -- I've only briefly tried them out in stores, particularly a Vox AC-10 -- but I like the sound of this one. It's a nice change from my usual Fender PRRI or Peavey Bandit and it gets me tones similar to some of my favourite Vox amp users -- the Beatles (of course), early Stones, Mike Campbell, Rory Gallagher.
Looking forward to getting to know this baby a little more while channeling my inner George Harrison or Brian Jones. Too bad it didn't come with built-in fuzz or a scream button to make my own "mania".
Couldn't resist a pic with a Beatles-oriented guitar either.
