Velocity 50 Watt Stereo Guitar Amplifier With Digital Delay

I've been using this little amp for a while and the chorus when selected just started popping and crackling.

I have always been a Rocktron user with my VooDu Valve. Love it. Needed something for the road, and at $168 on Amazon (over $230 everywhere else) this was a steal. I mostly use the clean channel since it breaks up wonderfully with use of the GAIN knob. Combined with the PUPs and POTs on my guitars (EMG's on my USA Made Prodigy, and my PRS SE Custom) I can basically set the break-up levels and tone to anything I want. Bought generic foot switches at B&H for $40 combined!! And have all I need for small gigs and rehearsal. I use no pedals with this AMP, just straight in. The lead (OD) channel is heavy over the top, good for Metal style, or OD's solo's.I use it sparingly. The good thing is that with separate GAIN & VOLUME settings per channel you can switch over without blowing the windows out.It has 2 x 10" which create more than enough surface to make this LOUD! even on volume level 2.I haven't regretted this one moment, especially not, since I can use the LINE-OUT on the back to record with as well, it comes out after the pre-amp & effects allowing me to go into a different power amp.Would have been complete with Reverb, but that is a different model. Why Rocktron decided to create a model with Chorus & Delay and a separate one with Chorus & Reverb is unclear (to me at least). I consciously chose the delay version and love it.I tried many modeling amps, and they don't work for me. I don't like Line 6 sounds (tried from POD to the Spider Valve base), the Peavey's are not strong enough, and the Behrenger has too many quality issues.I get all the sounds I need from this one by using my PUP switching, tone & volume knobs, plus having the Fender & Humbucker guitars, I get more than enough out of this. I learned long ago that you don't need a 1,000 effects to be a good player. You need ears, fingers, and practice. LOTS of it. :)Enjoy,JJC

This is the second Rocktron amp I've owned. I bought the last one, a 2x12 100w, about 10 years ago and its still going strong. I ended up picking this one up because I was looking for a good chorus pedal. After shopping around and realizing that I was going to have to spend $150 for a quality pedal, I stumbled across this amp. Seeing that it had built in chorus, delay, and distortion, I decided to give it a shot. At less then $200, I didn't have the highest of expectations. Especially for a 2x8 amp. I'm in a band that gigs regularly so I didn't really expect that 2 eight inch speakers would have the punch thats needed to cut through on stage. This amp does everything my 2x12 can do and more. Its PLENTY loud, extremely versatile, and the effects are the kittys tittys. I can't believe the value for the quality of the product. I highly recommend this amp to anyone in any situation. Rocktron is traditionally known as a "metal" sort of brand. Our band plays an eclectic mix of everything from classic country to modern rock. This amp can be dialed in to make anything sound good. I primarily use a Fender Telecaster and a Gibson Les Paul. Both guitars have the distinct sound that they're suppose to have. This amp doesn't do what most other amps do and "steal the sound" of the guitar you're using. It brings out the best of the guitar. Buy this amp. I don't see how it could possibly disappoint at this price.

Although I have not had this amp for very long, it exceeds my expectations. I own several other amplifiers that are larger and definitely more expensive, both solid state and tube amps. The RockTron v50D Velocity is definitely a compliment to my collection. For one thing, the sound it puts out is superb. The clean channel sounds good, and the distortion is comparable to what you might hear on an old Van Halen album or CD. The stereo chorus adds a nice widening effect on the clean channel and even sounds good with distortion. The delay is also a nice added effect that when set right can be substituted for reverb.Overall, this is one heck of an amp for the price.After owning this for a while I will add more comments to this review...

I needed a cheap amp with dual inputs for my new synthesizer (Novation Ultranova) for when I jam out with my buddies and this little beast hits the right note. It's dual inputs allow great sound and panning. For when I plug in my guitar, the built in effects are dynamite and were a pleasant surprise to what I needed and expected out of an amp in this price range. I play with this small amp next to a half stack and a full drum kit and it's plenty loud.Definitely would recommend this and I will for sure buy more Rocktron products in the future!

Was looking for a nice amp, an upgrade for my old Fender amp. I looked at several amps at guitar center locally, was not exactly sure what I was looking for. I like to play about everything, metal, rock and blues/jazz. This amp has way more punch than I need, all I had to do was look at the speaker magnets and I knew it would rock, it sounds amazing clean and with distortion. I love the fact its a little different, not as popular as the others I tried out....love the Rocktron logo that lights up. It's a keeper for sure.....

This is my 2nd or third.My Model is the 50C not D, the stereo Chorus in the50C is mind blowing. My Chorus stopped working so I'm tryingto replace this amp. I only use the clean channel and run aprocessor in front.The Fail of Rocktron was not duplicating this amp in a 212 combo,I had a 150 or 200 watt Rocktron Head, it was junk, at least for myuse, it was nothing at all like this little box of magic. As I say , I haven'thad the 50D model, just the 50C, I believe the 50D has delay, which could mean that theChorus is configured differently, as well, which could be as good or not so good, hard to say.Roland's Jazz chorus has another unique chorus sound that is differentfrom Roctron 50C , but as nice, just different. The Jazz chorus is about $1000+new, and of course a heck of a lot louder.
