MusicRadar 5 Star Review :

"The DA5 is cosmetically similar to the impressive AD15VT and AD30VT Valvetronix combos. Although there's no preamp valve in the equation, the DA5 comes loaded with a host of features.

11 amp voices are accompanied by 11 effects settings that include combinations of delay, reverb, compression, auto-wah and various modulation effects.

Around the back, removing a Velcro-secured panel reveals a cute six-inch speaker and grants access to the sextet of C-size batteries required to make this a portable combo.

At home, you can run it using the supplied 12-volt mains adaptor. Flexibility is further increased by busker-friendly strap buttons, a quarter-inch jack input with its own volume control for a microphone, an auxiliary input for a CD or mp3 player and a line/headphone out.

There's also a power selector that toggles between 0.5, 1.5 or five watts of output power.

Sounds

It's astounding just how much level this little beast kicks out on full power. Sharing much of its tonal character with the Valvetronix amplifiers, clean sounds are dynamic and musical, and from a Stonesy crunch right up to thrash metal, the sheer quality of the tones on offer lays waste to the competition.

With economical use of the three buttons, there's a great deal of flexibility within the effects section, allowing you to adorn your sound with everything from subtle ambience to full-on psychedelia.

Whether you're after a great-sounding, lightweight amp for busking or guerrilla gigging or just a feature-loaded practice amp, there simply isn't a better all-round solution on the market.

Pros

A faultless combination of features, performance and price.

Cons

Practice amps weren't like this when we were beginners!

Verdict

At this price, everyone is going to want one."

VOX DA5 Portable Digital Guitar Amp at a Glance:

A wide array of great guitar tones

The quest for the ultimate tone can be endless. After countless hours of listening and playing - a top eleven list was selected for the DA5. Just check them out and you'll discover they offer up the wide array of great guitar tones - from pristine clean to outrageous overdrive and all points in-between.

Eleven high-quality effects

Nine standard effects indispensable for any guitarist are included. These include auto wah, compressor, phaser, chorus, flanger, tremolo, rotary, delay and reverb. With the addition of combination effects, you have a total of eleven to choose from. Each effect lets you adjust several parameters. There's also a Tap button that makes it easy to set the time or modulation speed.

Dual powered amplifier

The DA5 has a few tricks up its sleeve as well. The DA5 is powered by six C batteries or an AC adapter, enabling you to play anywhere. In addition, this little tonal monster has a power select switch, that lets you adjust the output power in three steps; 5W, 1.5W and 0.5W. Even when the master volume is turned up to the max to drive the power amp, you can lower the volume without losing any tone or feel.

Play and sing along!

Connect an external audio device such as CD, MP3 player, etc. to the DA5's Aux In, and plug a microphone to its Mic input. The DA5's three inputs work simultaneously so you can play guitar and sing along with recorded music. The DA5's convenient line/headphone jack allows home recording or late-night practicing. You can connect the line/headphone jack to your mixer, multi-track recorder or headphones. Since the character of the cabinet is also added to this signal, the sound will have a sense of "air" and depth even when you're listening to the DA5 through headphones or recording direct.

I've got one, they are awesome little amps. I shoe-horned a Weber 8" speaker into mine. Love it, would never get rid of it.

Ooh, that's interesting. How difficult was it to get an 8" speaker in there? I've got one of these and you can get a lot of fairly decent tones out of it, for what it is, but I never even thought about modding the speaker! I've got an 8" celestion (Eight-15 I think) lying around.

Mmmh Got an eBay bidder on it. No one here want it before I'm unable to withdraw from the eBay T&Cs?

Howdy, Stranger!
