Keep or Sell? Vox AC4 C1 

Thank you 🎸

thank you!

But he;s not using this amp. He's running into an AC30. Different beast. This little guy does sound nice though.

@@davidcudlip6587 same concept man

Any digital delay in front of the amp it’s going to sound horrible, I have this amp and I use analog and sounds awesome

It works great with that guitar.

Thanks, I tried to emulate that tone using pedals, but it never came close.

Merci Thierry, je suis ravi que cela vous ait été utile.

Interesting.

I'll have to try my OCD through it.

Awesome, did you have the speaker installed or did you get it like that?

@@JasonAyalaSpare It came with the speaker in it already and some JJ tubes... might play around with those. And I picked it up for 850$ CAN. Pretty good deal

I'm going to upgrade to a AC15 at some stage.

@@JasonAyalaSpare why not just buy a second ac4 and have stereo? Use one dry and one wet/ reverb-delay-stereo chorus. 2 ac4 amps should be loud enough for gigs. At least 3db louder than one ac4

@@ahhoiboy I just bought an AC30 🤫

Yes If you run it clean. If you run it dirty you can't use verb.

Possibly

I'd imagine the amp would give the repeats some extra brightness.

It will do until I eventually get an AC15

It will do until I get an AC15 down the track.

@@JasonAyalaSpare Great idea. I’ve played through a few awful AC4s. The AC15 will be a good alternative to your Deluxe Reverb.

I use it for recording mainly, it pairs very well with my fender amp.

For playing in a band I would get the AC15, unless you are playing fairly softly. It's good for jam sessions, but it won't fill a room without some help from a PA.

@@JasonAyalaSpare this is my point...using a SM57 and sending to main would work enough?

@@aristidesvillegas7167 It should. I was thinking in terms of no mic. It's loud, but very directional.

@@JasonAyalaSpare thanks bro!

My strat has way brighter pick-ups than my tele. It also sounds good with my Les Paul with P90s.

@@JasonAyalaSpare yeah, also have a greenback on the way. Had it for a few years now, hoping the new speaker, tubes and mods will revive my love for it. A lot of people build open backs for them too, it gets pretty hot if its been on for a couple hours.

@@monolith7183 let me know how it goes

@@JasonAyalaSpare So, amp glow up day - Greenback G12M 16ohm installed along with JJ12ax7 & EL84 - both bright caps removed from volume control and gain control. Straight swap on the speaker even though the guy that recommended it to me said he had to move the power transformer - it comes close but theres clearance between it an the speaker magnet. Impressions - well, impressed! Instantly changed this amp, much darker, thicker tone - less shrill but still nice and bright turning up the treble (never done before on this amp!) instantly changed this amp to a keeper for me, tone is much more mature and closer to the AC4's bigger siblings. Goes from dark and creamy to raspy and gnarly. All in all for £100 for a greenback (second hand), new tubes and cutting the leg of 2 resistors - 100% reccomend. I was considering selling this to fund a blues jr. Will I still get one? Probably, love the fender sound. Will I sell the AC4 when I do, after these mods? So far, probably not!

@@JasonAyalaSpare I notice your using a mexican standard tele the best in my opinion ceramic pick ups, for me the holy grail tele! That's why it sounds so good I have one, have tried them all yours is the one ! I like p90's as they brighten up a Les Paul, could be the amp for me Cheers

I'd probably go to headphone route.

I have the sheraton, but I recently upgraded to a AC30. Video coming soon.

How so, if you don't mind me asking?

@@JasonAyalaSpare while the AC10 is VERY fun and inspirational to play as an everyday amp, sounds and feels huge when you play it….it just has an artificial tone to it that I immediately pick up on when mic’d and then on RU-vid. Listen to some of the AC15 vs AC10 recordings….or any of the other AC10 vs XYZ videos. There’s a tinny metallic cludginess (for lack of better description) that I pick up on with the AC10. (AC10 has solid state aided drive in the circuit) It’s funny…. If you asked me, “what would you want to play through every day?“ I would say an AC10, for sure. But then if you ask me, “would you record it“? I would say no way. AC4 records brilliantly from what I’m hearing even just on RU-vid. Pure, direct and full tube tone.

It's definitely a drawback.

Get the fryette load box, it takes the output and converts it to line level, with an effects loop then back into a 50 watt clean power amp to make it as loud as you want

your problem. a professionell dont need a loop

@@xgdgdjdhdhdhd3493 honestly, I have never once used my effects loops on any amplifier. I wonder if other guitarists are the same way? Thinking they want the effects loop, yet never using it?

@@xgdgdjdhdhdhd3493 Gee you're right, I'm sure you're just making millions with your music! Lol...lol

All part of the service 👍

why mistake? what exactly you didnt like?
