Nov 18, 2020 · Recently getting into Vox style amps. Here's my experience: 1. Vox AC15C1 (Greenback)-- Wonderful amp. Touch sensitive. All the right frequencies. Can get a nice light overdriven tone when I dig in or full on overdrive if set accordingly. The amp overdrive is more pleasing to my ears compared to Fender overdrive. I usually play Fender amps ...

Dec 2, 2006 · The AC30 and AC15's are not class A amps as many are inclined to believe, the boutique amps, Matchless , Z's, etc, are indeed class A amps. So the comparison to those amps is not necessarily equal. My AC15 weighs more than my Classic 30, go figure...but the C30 is the primary gig amp.

Feb 1, 2018 · Do bear in mind that with some Vox amps--the AC15C1, anyway--speaker break-in time is considerable. I was just about to sell mine before it finally, and suddenly, opened up and sounded great. And though the AC15 is quite the beast, it also has a lot of sweet sounds at low volume--once that speaker gets pushed open.

Jun 1, 2010 · The vintage hand-wired models are some of the most-desired amps among working pros, even though they are not the most reliable tube amps ever made. But their wide tonal range/versatility and punch/volume in a small package is …

Apr 20, 2018 · I dunno which Vox? a '63 AC-15 , a '65 AC-10 or one of the dozens of variations that have been produced by a whole flock of buiders since JMI went belly up. IMHO very few "Vox amps" sound much like those early jobs, but many sound very good. With a little care you can get good sounds for some style out of most amps, Thomas Vox is no different

May 11, 2017 · Any major difference between the two amps other than the wattage? I found a used AC15 in a neat purple color in a music store recently for $350.00. Today, I ran across a new AC10 in a sharp white color for about $450.00. I generally don't buy things made in China if I can help it, but the white...

May 8, 2015 · In some cases better with their natural compression and bright top end. Just watching the last decade of country music award shows, I've seen the switch from Fender & Peavey amps to Dr. Z, Morgan, Matchless, Bad Cat, TopHat, and of course, VOX. Occasionally I'll see a Fender or Fender style amp or a Marshall, but for the most part AC30 voiced amps.

Oct 21, 2015 · Ive been wondering if P90 pickups might get along with a Vox amp. My P90s are mid-rangey as all get out. Would those famously mid-scooped Vox amps make for a good marriage? Seems like a no-brainer, but, of course, some things are …

Mar 16, 2024 · The reverb you hear on old records that featured Vox amps ie; by British bands, were clearly added in the studio. The other thing is gain. In the AC10 C1 which has gain & master controls, they put a chip in the V1 position rather than an extra tube, to increase gain.

Jul 16, 2017 · I actually find Vox amps mighty spikey with Fender guitars, particularly Telecasters--unless you dial 'em in just so, and, most of all, unless the Vox speakers have broken in well. It took my AC15C1 about a year to really get sweet to my Fender/Squire guitars. And the great-tone range is very narrow.
