If your looking for a dual use head that is extremely versatile for a great price look no further. I paid 500$ for mine, which is basically a 3 channel (clean [ampeg style clean tone] clean w/ bright [fender cleans] and a dirty channel [medium - low gain marshally tones]) 225watt EL34 powered amp with FX loop, resonance and presence controls, and a wicked tube DI out. There's not much more you could ask for or have built in for a high power tube amp for a pedal user. I have tried the VB2 + 2x15 as well as VB2 + 4x12 and 2x15. For guitar using it just with the 2x15 lacks high end and some mid range punch but still sounds great, but pair it with the 4x12 and it sounds absolutely huge and tight. 15's do better as complimentary speakers in a guitar rig, they add on huge tone to 12's or 10's. BUT if you like a dark guitar tone (like I do) then using 15's by themselves is completely feasible.

Damn. Now I have to decide, this or a PA135.

If you get a chance try each one out first. I bought the VB-2 tone unheard but I'm glad I did. But I could definitely see where its not for everybody, not everyone needs or wants that much power.
