I have a variety of ANOS and new manufacture preamp tubes and got a set of new TungSol EL84's to try but it just sounds so good and dead quiet that I haven't bothered to change them yet.

#VOX AC10 BLACK AND TAN HOW TO#

Not crystalline clean like my BF/SF fenders but so expressive and dynamic once I figured out how to dial it in. I play Fender SC guitars of all flavors + Gretsch HSFT and every one sounds great thru this little amp. That, combined with a good amount of break-in on the original speaker made a huge difference and I really like this little amp now. Silly as it may, sound I had to 'learn' how the Vox TB circuit works and interactivity with gain, master etc. Part of that was because I have been a 'Fender guy' for almost 50 years and it didn't sound the same nor did it eq the same way. Mine is the regular model and at first I wasn't super impressed.

I was intrigued by this model too and bought one earlier this year. The Photobucket problem probably won't permit me to Post Pics. if not I can put them in my AC15 as it only requires the same 4 Tubes.

I don't know that it needs the Tube upgrade as it sounds really good now. Which with these Amps only requires 4 Tubes. I've heard that the Tubes weren't that great so I ordered a Set of JJ Tubes. It's slightly smaller, for easy travel, than my Princeton but weighs about the same. It sounds great!!! It can get plenty loud for most applications. So my name goes on a List!?!?įlash forward.

About 6 months ago I decided to order one & give it a try as they have an excellent return policy if it didn't work out. No one else carried them so they were impossible to try out. So I forgot about it.Ībout a year ago a well known Online Retailer started offering a Special Run of the Vox AC10C1 with a Celestion Greenback upgrade. The Speaker sounded very harsh &Ice Picky to me. It's not a spot on reissue of the originals. The Princeton iis my go to Amp.Ī couple years ago Vox reintroduces a Vox AC10C1. I seldom use the bigger Fenders anymore & should probably sell them. Going from my Twin to a 65 DRRI & then a 65 Princeton Reverb RI which is great. So about 5 years ago decided I wanted a smaller version of my already smaller Vox AC15CC1X Amp (Still about 50 lbs). I finally decided they aren't necessary for most applications. I've been playing big loud, heavy Amps for years.
