![]() Some of the newer effects are quite nice sounding and the EX offers 2 pedal sections for greater flexibility including a nice exciter effect.īut in terms of professional utility and pure gigability they are toys by comparison to LE and SE. Although they have the merits of being much smaller and lighter than the SE and LE, they are made to a budget and are aimed more at the amateur/home player market. Tonally although they do sound quite good to be fair with a brighter EQ floor, IMO they are more digital sounding and 'processed'. DT, LE and SE mix in DSP with analogue gain stages - ST and EX are more DSP focussed, again to reduce circuit design and cost.ST and EX have way less processing power, again to save on cost.The valvereactor circuit has been simplified and 'dumbed down' to save cost.To my ears they lack the fuller, bigger, punchier and more valvelike warmth that made the originals such a hit with guitarists. ![]() The 2-button ST wasn't meant to be so basic - it was rushed out as a stop gap because Vox unwisely withdrew the LE with no replacement, and were losing ground as they were out of the mfx market for too long. The EX was what the ST was meant to have been although those somewhat tinny, pointless speakers in the EX was the idea of Korg, not Vox. ![]() ![]() The two button ST has very limited functionality with no stomp box facility, a poor tuner, and was never intended as a gigging unit.Although EX is advertised as a gigging unit, it falls far short in many essential areas. ![]()
