    Have you tried either? I gave the Ramparte a go, I thought it was pretty, well, awful in sound and circuitry design. The Vaporizer seems a lot more playable though.

    My Vaporizer vaporized on stage during first go. I really liked it though, but Id avoid either like the plague now.

    Theres a superchamp xd on Gumtree for £180 - buy it -put an Emminence Ragin Cajun speaker in it and you have a superb small 2x26v6 Fender sound............as good as a deluxe reverb at lower volumes .......the speaker uprate is immense and does wonders for the sound -there are some great examples on you tube and its a fairly well acknowledged upgrade

    Wisdom. I had one, and they are essentially a princeton with a second digital channel.

    Both channels are digital i think? They sound nice despite this but the only chance ive had to try one, it exploded before my eyes in the shop...not a good introduction!

    Nope. Channel 1 is all valve.

    I love my Vaporizer, £200 brand new is a lot LOT of amp for the money, I don't like the Vaporizer switch too much but the cleans and the spring reverb is superb and I purchased it knowing I didn't like the Vaporizer part of the amp.

    if your'e prepared to shot £199 brand new delivered for one I wouldn't hesitate as like the Greta and Ramparte you going to struggle soon to find one new with warranty.

    Channel 1 is pure fender clean valve
    the digital models are channel 2 but actually v good on most settings and even then still run through the 6v6 power amp which when you think about it isnt much different to putting a pedal in front of a high quality boutique jobby
