I love this amp TO DEATH!

But ironically, I haven't used it for any conventional framedrumming or percussion yet.

I'm in a really deep contact mic phase and distortion/feedback mode lately and Ive been using
a contact mic on a frame drum which feedback like crazy when I use it in front of the amplifier.

With a Kanjira or loosely tuned frame drum, I can get tremendous control of the feedback and can use it
in very musical, albeit rubato or avant garde ways.

I did just buy a really incredible (and pricey) Shertler pickup which is a revolutionary new transducer that allows one to
change it quickly between any instruments.
Because of a sound insulating putty that comes with it, the feedback is next to nil, but the sound is very high quality.
You can use it in one song on frame drum.......on another on a kalimba,............on an oud in another...........on a bowed psaltery on another
and it sounds phenomenal.

It has an XLR out , however so I have to go get an adaptor for it today and try it out with the VOX. I've been meaning to do this and I have a rare day off today so I'll go see if I can score it and then post back.

I used a Peavey battery powered amp to perform at PASIC last year but it was just not loud enough in the loud convention hall.
This thing is considerably louder and the effects built in are really nice.

Another delicious trick I've discovered is that if I rapidly rotate the rotary pot that controls the differene effects (delay, compression, phase, reverb, et. al.) and the amp model (different kinds of amps) I hit a point where there is a short square wave volume gate between
each effect. I can get really interesting feedback but then rotate the pot and get an arpeggiation styled and very rapid square way tremolo effect. It's very rhythmic and I've made some hip rhythmic loops by using it in conjunction with a more random initial feedback loop.

Very cool. For some odd reason, it will only go up to a certain speed, I've noticed. If I rotate the pot more quickly than this speed the tremelo effect remains at a constant (though pretty fast) rate.

It's a fascinating artifact.............I love abusing equipment creatively.......lol!!!

more to come, Bill, thanks for asking
