Quick question.. looking at two second hand Vox amps. One Valvetronix for 100 dollars, and one VR30 for 200 dollars. Both appear to be in fine condition. Based on the price of both, and model of both, what would be best for achieving that u2 sound?
 
Valvetronix & VR30 are not going to have that warm Edge AC30 tone. They won't sound completely crap... but I'd recommend the Vox Pathfinder 15R ($119.00), particularly if you are just getting an amp to use at home.

Another great alternative is the AC4TV.

For playing with a band...I'd recommend that you save a bit more... if not for an AC30, save for an AC15 ($599)
