Excellent as ever Shane. I own one of these and is my grab and go. Have put a Celestion greenback in and Sovtek valves all through. I don’t know whether it makes that much difference maybe less brittle than stock. Main use for this for me is the dry amp in a wet dry set up with an AC30. In this configuration it really shines and easily carries through leaning back on the headroom and effected tones of the ‘wet’ AC30. I play Gretsches and these with Vox amps are match made in heaven. This amp is definitely a keeper thanks for giving the AC10 some love and on its own is ample in a reasonable live setting. Well done 👍👍👍

Great review! I went to Sky Music on boxing day to get myself an amp. The last AC10C1 was on display and I am pretty damn sure it must have been the same amp you played in your review, that you just returned to the shop. It is the same Vintage Black grill cloth and the handle is a little lobsided to the left (I doubt that this affects the tone). Now I got bragging rights to owning an amp that featured on YT with thousands of views. And yeah... awesome tones coming out of this little amp!

@stepvanjoe3469 3 года назад

Great demo Shane, I actually purchased one of these yesterday and your review was helpful. Gotta say that when buying/deciding on a new piece of gear I will check out your channel first for a stand up review. Definitely do some more Vox reviews, it would be interesting to see how an A/B of the new version of each one in the AC line compares to their vintage counterpart. Have a happy and safe New Year!

I'm a HUGE vox lover, way more versatile than most other valve amps I own and they sound great no matter what guitar I am playing through them, the little MV50 with the 8" speaker cab I own is great in the studio and I've used it on all of my Albums, I don't own an ac10 as I have an ac15c1 but they get great reviews on the vox page, its good to see one in action 👍

@christianboddum8783 3 года назад

Love the amp, I recently put a 12au7 in V1 of the preamp, it makes the amp much more controllable, you can set gain and volume at 12 0'clock (mid) without being too loud, highly recommended. This mod also makes sound a lot closer to the original early 60's model (I know and have played one). I made a jack out parallel with the speaker. That gives you 2 options; 1 it let's you use an attenuator (the speaker out shuts of the internal speaker, this let's you send signal from the attenuator back to the speaker, 2 it let's you tap a signal to a linedriver for FOH and recording. FWIW. It's light, loud, sound GREAT, has master volume, has reverb. Guitar - tuner - AC-10 and you do a gig with confidence

Shane, your playing really is remarkable. I really appreciate someone who can play and make out the notes. I have always described "my sound" as heavily overdriven but clean, if that makes sense? Not sure if that is your intent as well but, it sounds great!

@voided76 3 года назад

Good distorted tone (in my opinion) is perfectly capable of melting faces, but doesn't turn to mud either. Fu manchu and smashing pumpkins have done a helluva lot better than me with walls of noise though. so hey. :)

@jimmythefish 3 года назад

I've had mine for almost a year, love the cleans and the overdrive. I like the reverb on it and think it's more useful than a tremolo. Having a reverb and a tremolo pedal I often don't touch the on-board reverb. I put new JJ tubes in it that seemed to smooth it out some. I think the stock speaker is fine but can see myself buying the 2x12 greenback cab in the future.

I initially was going to buy one of these new, but an AC15C1 came up at a good price so I went with that. But I do think it's one of the best Vox amps and would still like one to compare.

@gillesgenete9598 3 года назад

Your AC15 offers more than this AC10. AC10 is the only the top boost channel, while AC 15 offers 2 channels. Also larger cabinet of AC15 gives richer tones. I have the AC15HW1 with an even larger and stronger cabinet than the AC15C1, and tones are even richer. It may be hard to believe, until you test it by yourself. And yes Vox tubes amps are brutally loud, even my small Vox NT2 2watts can move my 4x12 Marshall cab !

@kevinstuart5694 3 года назад

This was my first Valve amp that I purchased in 2017 (British Racing Green) and many more have come and gone but I still own this. I bounce between using a Warehouse retro and greenback speaker. Shamefully I never gave the VX speaker a chance. One thing I love about this amp is how sensitive the EQ is a little turn goes a long way. What I am not a fan of is how this applies to the volume. Goes from whisper to LOUD with that same tiny turn. I love the Reverb and nowadays I am actually enjoying digital reverbs over spring SS or valve. I know I'm the odd man out. Oh and it will flub with a greenback if you let it.

@andrewkang6937 3 года назад

My first tube amp was a VOX AC15C1. I loved how it sounded, especially with the gain dialed up. However, it felt too loud and too large as a bedroom amp. I think the AC10C1 may be the amp for me! Your demo confirmed that, so thanks!

@marknichollsphotography7804 3 года назад

It’s not much quieter. I modified my AC10 to take an attenuator. It’s totally unlocked all of the tonal possibilities.

@waynebridger4998 3 года назад

I've owned one of these for around 3 months or so, absolutely immense little amp with a big sound. When using FX, I turn master up full and control the volume with the gain When using just the amp, I find the gain at around 1 or 2 o clock is sweet

@albertplaysguitar 3 года назад

Yeah, it took me a while to figure that out. Wishing it had an fx loop so I could take more advantage of it's gain!

@tracypartin7408 3 года назад

I want one as well brother. Great playing as always.

@kevinjohnbetts 3 года назад

Own one. Really didn't like the on/off switch so replaced it with a heavy duty on/standby/off switch. Also upgraded the speaker to a Celestion G10 Greenback so the amp is a little heavier but a lot sweeter sounding. I think the switch upgrade is a no-brainer. The original speaker does the job and I only did the upgrade when I replaced all the valves as well as the switch.

@bwguitarist1838 3 года назад

Had mine for a few years now. Absolute bargain. Sounds great, loud enough to gig and light enough to carry on the tube. Amazing amp.

@ericglasson7140 3 года назад

My main amp is an ac10. I have had it for three years. The stock speaker is good, but I recently put a Celestion creamback in it and the tone has gone to another level. Love it.

@noddyboffin2988 3 года назад

My AC30S1 with cream vinyl and a Creamback speaker sounds like heaven, so basically the 30 watt version of yours.... can confirm it sounds incredible. It's the only thing in a guitar store amazing enough for me to impulse buy the day I tested it.

@EasyHeat 3 года назад

Almost scooped up a burgundy tolex AC10 for $320, but the guy sold before I could pounce. Eventually went with a budget and wallet friendly Katana 50. Looking to see eventually get a pair of Katana 50s, run my Orange OMEC teleport into the power amp in on both, and have various dual amp setups via BiasFX. The Vox AC4 1x12 is another sweet little amp. I had one for a bit, but unfortunately I had to sell off a few guitars, and all my amps post Covid to pay the bills. Was recently looking at powered cabs, as most of my recording is now done in my apartment with BiasFX. The Katana 50 ticked all the boxes to breakout of the PC and bring those tones out live. Having once been a total tube snob? I am reluctantly leaning more into the digital/analog solid state realm. Mostly because of options, cost, reliability, and travel weight. Cheap gear is just really killing it these days IMO. Recently got a $130 Firefly P90 junior knock off that, after a Grover upgrade, absolutely slays. I’m rambling again aren’t I?! Lmao! Great vid as always Shane. Stay gold man.✌️❤️🤘
