I went and tested Cube 20 X, Microcube, Line 6 spider III 15 watts and this Vox DA5 was my pick

The only thing i dont especially like is the distortions, they arent very versatile and they dont hv much tone, tho they pack some punch are ok for now, im getting a distortion pedal tho.
The effects are awesome.

Why are Marshall's SSSSOOO over rated is it just that meatheads think they'll play better with that name behind them? The only good marshall at a gig tells you where the BAR/BOGS are! Get a Good British VOX,
I take my DA5 everywhere work,garden,mates...they now do a DA20 , ok for small gigs?

Sounds like I found my next amp. How does it stack up against the Roland Micro Cube?

Much more bottom end. I don't worry about the EQ because normally mine is set to clean with a little reverb, and playing through a Digitech RP-355. I get all the tones I want and more. Great spring reverb effect with this combination.

That's my rig in the computer room and for travel. It's great, but I still use my Marshall tube half-stack and a GNX4 for shows.

is this amp loud enough to rehearse with drums?

Well, I let my vocalist try to use it a long with the drums and it did alright. She does rhythm guitar if you were wondering, but it seems to get loud enough. Really depends on how loud the drums are getting. The drummer thankfully wasn't doing it too loud so it worked out ok. Other than that its just something that you'd have to try out. If you goning to buy this 140$ I suggest something thats not battery powered for that reason.

And, anyway, none of the sounds it emulates is exactly the same as the original, so does it worth trying? Giving up a real all-tube amp and switching to one of these monsters is like cutting a healthy leg and putting a titan-made prosthesis instead...
Also, none of these amps can be used for gigging or professional records.

It might be one of the best small digital amps on the market, it is certainly a Vox, but digital modelling amps are the most atrocious novelty in the guitar world in the last 20 years.

You're missing the point of this amp.

BTW, it's discontinued now.

It's the only solid state amp I could really recommend for practice/bedroom/busking. Beats the pants off any MG, Spider, or Cube. It's even more versatile than the Mustangs, Vypyrs, Oranges and VOX VTs in it's class.

Hook it up to a halfway decent MFX and you can tweak any solid state tone out of it you want so you can find your own sound .

But no, it doesn't replace a good tube amp if you have the luxury of using the tube amp like it was designed to be used.

I've already stated my belief that, within the narrow concept of a digital modelling amp, this might be one of the best , if not the best. So I guess I've actually caught the point.
But if you really want to get serious about music (and you need a small amp to suit your bedroom), why not choosing the AC4TV? It's not so expensive, it's small and it looks awesome, you might even find a place for it beside your furniture, so your wife doesn't get mad about 'another music device in your house' (like mine does) etc. etc.
Let's not encourage the big names on this path, of digital modelling. Otherwise, it will be very difficult, over 20 years, to find a good all-tube at a reasonable price. They will become a luxury item, completely out of reach of common guys like us.
