Not exactly the same thing, but we have an AD100VT, also from North Coast, with the same Beatle look. Here is our story.
We are not foot pedal guys. (We like the Fender Cyber Twin, for example, but not the price.) We researched the Vox Valvetronix series, which was introduced (we think) in the late 1990's. The amps are made in China, and the feedback at that time seemed to suggest that there were several maintenance issues, which "Vox" (Korg) didn't address very well. Later, the quality supposedly improved.
We bought our amp for $600, in 2006. We mainly use it in our basement, for our own enjoyment, and for home recording. We have taken it out of town twice for live gigs and we received compliments for its sound both times.
Our take -- In the "Bang For Your Buck" category, this is a solid investment, particularly if you are into home recording. It is especially useful for effect combinations, such as distortion and tremolo, where you only have to turn up the gain, and adjust the knobs for the tremolo effect on the amp. There is already an EQ on the amp, if you need it. If you did this with the computer, you would have to choose both the distortion and tremolo effects, edit them, and then use an EQ in addition to substitute for the one on the amp. Doing this with pedals would require pedals with these effects in them. In other words, with the amp you just have to turn a few knobs to get the sound you want. You would need multiple pedals or computer effects to achieve it otherwise.
We are inclined to think that the larger Valvetronix amps like this are still somewhat fragile (from reviews and not from our experience), so if you are a regular gigging guy/gal, you might want to research whether this amp meets all your needs.
It also has a built in compressor for all you 12 string players.
