I'll never get around to getting that VJ if this stuff keeps happening..lol.



....that's gonna be a score...I have an XV112 (original owner) and the thing kicks.

If it's like my 112, the effects loop doesn't behave like you'd expect, so watch out - when you use it the Master Volume essentially becomes useless and the output level of your effects chain essentially becomes the Master. Most of what I've found on forums agree that it was just a bad design...but the amp itself still kicks butt.

In all the years I'd had mine I hadn't really paid much attention to this until I got my V3 heads and saw their loops behave differently...managed to blow out my first and only set of EL34s in 30 years of playing looping in a Pod XTL on my XV112 because of it.
