Should have known that there exists a VM Forum!! Bought mine two years ago (2266) with the 425A cab. I am happy with it and can find the tones that I think of in my head. Also use a Fulltone OCD, Deluxe Wah, and MDV-2!! I am especially pleased with the OCD!! Going to play a large outdoor party tomorrow and will take that and a BluesBreaker 1962 re-issue. Cold St. Pauli Girl Beer, great weather and great musicians, will play for about 8 hours, do it every year with friends, good time. The BluesBreaker with the channels jumped also kicks ass and has great compression, going to start out with that, and work through an ES-335, SG and Strat 57 Re-issue.
BTW, a local Sam Ash has a 425A cabinet for $525.00 new, been thinking of getting it because the speakers kick ass. Really can't afford it but that Sam Gash same as cash no interest makes it tempting.
