Crimson Drive or Dirt Transmitter through an AC30?

[qtronbiggs]

I have, and love, these pedals, and am considering buying an AC30 (probably the C2). I have read that, according to some, this amp does not "get along" with some dirt pedals, so I was wondering if anyone has any experience mixing these lovely noise makers. Thanks!

I don't have a Vox, and have never played a Crimson Drive. The Dirt Transmitter is crazy versatile and amazing - I'd be surprised if it didn't get along with the Vox.

I have an AC30 style amp and I have played the Dirt Transmitter, just not through my amp.
What guitar are you using?
I found the Dirt Transmitter, while great and with lots of textures, to be a bit on the dark side tonewise.
A Vox can indeed be a bit difficult with certain dirt pedals, though I must say my Valvetech Hayseed 30 doesn't seem to have nearly as much problems with it as the modern Vox models, I'd definitely recommend that amp over a current Vox amp anytime.
With the current Vox amps they often clip the bright cap, which usually helps when you use the amp in conjunction with different drive pedals.

No experience with the AC30 but the Speaker Cranker and especially the White Light sound great through an AC15.

I play a dirt transmitter through an AC15c1 and I think it sounds fantastic. It can get pretty trashy or smooth and buttery with judicious tuning of the bias and tone controls.

another vote for the dirt transmitter, for the simple fact that you can get a LOT of different sorts of tones from it, and almost all of them have their use (although some of them MAYBE not on guitar).
