hi everyone, new to this forum and soon to become a Dr. Z ambassador Love the sound of these amps. In particular the KT45 and the Remedy. But here's the deal with me and my band I already have the Vox AC30h2 (with a zvex box of rock) with alnico blues. My guitars are a Firebird and a Falcon. My fellow guitarplayer has the Matchless Independence and plays teles. And our music style ranges from Foo Fighters to Gaslight Anthem style. We're really looking for an authentic classic tone. Which amp would combine best with my Vox AC30h2: The KT45 or the Remedy? i find it very difficult to choose since i love the overdrive Townsend tone that's in the KT45 but still wondering if the Remedy would better match the AC30. Since i'm not planning to sell the AC30 ;D Would the KT45+AC30 combination be too bright, together with the Matchless from the other guitarplayer? Or would it be a great combination all together? I will try them soon at my guitarshop, but i was hoping for a reaction from you guys first. hope you can help! cheers

For that classic rock tone I vote for the Remedy.

I'll second the Remedy recommendation. It will give you a wider range of tones with the AC30 than the KT, IMHO.

I use the KT as my do-all amp. The remedy isn't as versatile, imo. I don't have an AC30, or much experience with one, but I have a Stingray which was described to me by the guys at Wilcuts as 'The best AC30 you've ever heard' so I'll use my experience with it to put my 2 cents in. The KT can't be described as bright (really, I guess it depends on the speakers) as much as warm. To me, the KT has the most beautiful cleans I've ever heard. Like pouring molten glass. Smooth, warm, and articulate. But throw a boost pedal in front and it will get dirty. I posted a video of my KT and a Draconis playing The Ocean in this thread. ztalk.proboards.com/index.cgi?board=kt&action=display&thread=32031 So I have to say the KT, but it's my favorite Z amp, so I'm biased. (fixed biased ;D)

thanks for your replies! I saw a brand new blond Remedy on ebay the other day and bought it. I couldn't resist. Happy Remedy owner now!

^^ I like Shannon's description of the KT-45 (I don' t own one, but I've played a couple and have been mezmorized by them). And for that matter, I also like "the guys at Wilcutt"'s description of the StangRay.
