Yeah the demos I've heard have made it sound awful. It is a weird one, but can make some great sounds. I'm just not sure of it's worth the effort! Some pedals sound great to me one day, terrible the next.
And Vox amps are one of those things that all of my player friends love but don't work for me. Badcats do and they're often the same circuit just filtered differently. In fact Badcat amps influenced the way I build my Fender tweed amps. The huge power transformers compared to a Vox are one of the reasons they sound so different. I applied that logic to my tweed amps and found that it has the same result - a tighter, bigger low end.
