Just a heads up to folks watching this video, the vid is 7 years old and Laney released a much better version called Cub *Super* 10, the overdrive sounds much better in the newer version of the Cub, it's one of my fav amps...the Box isn't bad either, but the new Cub has more warmth like this one does but with a more boutique-ish vibe and a great roaring OD....so check that version of the Cub out before you decide against Laney!!

Vox is awesome! I don't understand why people get so hung up on the bass? The only time bass is of any consideration when it comes to guitar amps - is for the home player. Now you may say - hey this is a 4 watt amplifier, what else is good for? But still, in general darker tones, bassier tones are for the home player that wishes to fill a wider spectrum. In the context of a band or in a recording mix - bass is absolutely useless, you will lost once you have a drummer and a bassist. It's just a fact of life, the kind of guitar tone that gets you heard in a band - may not what you like to hear jamming by yourself. So if you have a P.A. where you play - lack of bass is not an issue. The guy at the mixing board is going to remove all that low end stuff anyways - he will reserve it for the bassist and kick drum.

I'll have to agree but then too a guitar without low end is like a bass without top end.... Where the bass without top end lack definition, a guitar without low end lacks body and girth and will sound very thin and weak despite volume.

A guitar needs mids, not bass. Look at the tubescreamer that guitarists use for leads - that things cuts off a bunch of bass and puts in a mid push.

The Vox sounds brittle to my ears. It comes down to 6V6 vs EL84 output tubes. My ears love the creamy midrange of 6V6s, plus they're a tad louder, tube for tube, depending of course on the OT.

I think the Laney Club blows the doors off the Vox, it sounds muddy and tinny compared to the Club. but the Laney Club 12 is a huge step up for a small fee, if you want to step up on the Vox your goung to be spending 2 to 3 times what the Laney cost
@stiglistanbul6 жыл бұрын
Both are great, IMHO, but not really comparable. The Laney is great in the way a Fender Champ is; you wouldn't want to play certain things through it, but then again, a good part of "Layla and other assorted" was recorded with a Champ. Like you summed up: boxy-vs-voxy lol!

In my opinion, the AC4-BL Is the best sounding of all the Vox AC4 amps. With that said, there’s just something about Vox treble that I find very fatiguing of the ears. Ant time I play one, it doesn’t take long for that piercing treble to really start annoying me. I could never dial it out, it’s either there slightly more or less, or just too dark. I could never dial in the happy medium tone I was looking for. Now in 2019 however, Supro has came out with a great tube amp for home practice/Jams. The Supro Blues King 8. A fantastic little 1x8” combo that sounds HUGE for a 1 watt 8” combo. Check it out..... thanks for sharing this video, great job. Of the 2 I think the Laney is the winner. Again, just my humble opinion.
@davidcudlip65872 жыл бұрын
Use an EQ pedal. A must have on any pedal board. People spend a fortune changing speakers and tubes, when a $50 eq pedal might be the answer of dialing in the tone they want.

I was looking at both of these amps as I need something that doesn't piss off the neighbors, then I found the Palmer Fab 5 which blows these Asian made amps out of the water. Same price class but the build quality (made in Germany) and tone was far, far superior. But as always, ask 5 guitar players get 6 answers. Everything is subjective to personal taste.

Computer Simulated Atomic Coded Reality the Cub10 doesn’t have a powerful drive - it is mostly a clean amp. It can emulate American tones very well with its 6v6 tubes. If you want a very good all-around amp that can give you those glassy cleans and as well as that warm, creamy tube drive then the Laney Cub12/Cub12R is the answer.

Great demo. I like both. I just got a Vox pf 10 solid state. I really liked, a lot of range, never fuzzy, clean also overdrive gently, that’s my setting right now. Balanced and great trebles and basses. I use very little the treble (1-2), still adjusting bass (2-3 now). So, I got treble in excess, maybe the Laney will work nice, also. I had to be pretty sure of what I looking for my tone before getting the valve real thing. I like the Vox live, I’m thinking about Orange since a like it (how overdrives) on videos (I got the little Vox ‘cos store hadn’t Crush 20), and my third option, also by videos is the Laney IRT Studio. Any suggestions? I don’t like Marshalls, I like Fender but not this time.

***** I have the CUB 10 as well as a green board Fender BJ. They really are not similar at all. The CUB 10 is more like a low gain Fender tweed. And with some new tubes and an Eminence Legend in it, it's a GREAT sounding amp. The BJ has always a decent amp but after getting the CUB I rarely play it. The BJ has this midrange thing going on which really gets to me after a point. Oh and the CUB 10 puts out 12W RMS (not 10 as most people believe) and with an efficient speaker like the Legend 1058 it can be as loud as the BJ. In fact, because of it's tone stack, I've found the CUB to have more clean headroom than the BJ.
