Also, the Microtubes 500 and 900 v2 amps do have the VMT distortion included. With the Microtubes 500 v2 being in the $800 range, it is a solid buy.
If you want to stick with a pedal-based format, the Microtubes Infinity will give you more versatility with B3k and VMT distortions, multiband distortion (like the Microtubes X) and multiband compression along with the Darkglass Suite and cab sims for around $600.
It's weird that I used to work with this guy. This video really emphasizes the differences between the Adam, Alpha-Omega Photon, VMT, B3k, and X style distortions. It's nice that even listening to the full gambit, that I am still reallly happy with my choice on the 900 v2 since the B3k and VMT distortions are my favorites.
Man, that demo of the ADAM made it sound horrendous. I watch Amos Heller's demo, which was much, much better, but I still hated the ADAM. Waaaaay too distorted and messy sounding.
It's interesting that, in metal guitar tones we want articulate, not fuzzy gain, but in bass metal tones fuzzy, smeared gain seems to be the goal. I like clean bass with just a touch of dirt, and some EQ to keep it clanky, which makes me feel like I'm stuck in the '90s.
