This Vox is... A GAME CHANGER

[@RhettShull]

Here’s the obligatory “if you think that’s heavy, try an AC30!!” Comment. Congrats on the new amp man, the AC15 is one of the best amps ever.

[@travisjones75]

or a Super Reverb, haha! Always wanted an AC15. Thanks for the demo.

[@daveycrockett9447]

My AC30 sits in the bed room and goes no where for that reason. Way too heavy.

[@JordanColey]

Fellow Strat guy here. Just picked up an AC15 myself a couple months ago, and it is amazing. I second that comment about including a compressor in your signal chain. Super helpful getting those cleaner tones to push through a mix, especially in the church world!

[@MrSoulauctioneer]

rory gallagher convinced brian may and others strat into a vox needs a treble boost. They used rangemasters but those are rare and pricey.

[@devilkillerthemonarchofhop7943]

I have an AC15 that I’ve been using at church for the past year. Stepped down from a Marshall JVM full stack. Easier to move and sounds so nice.

how did you get down from 100w to 15w?

[@devilkillerthemonarchofhop7943]

@@jakubmachnik1259 I was no longer playing in a band and I needed to have something smaller for church. I still have the Marshall. But the Vox takes pedals so much better for ambient sounds for church.

Your playing, content, and production is top notch, appreciate you!

[@Bacontruffle]

As someone who's played strats for the longest time, a massive tip I would give when it comes to fattening up your sound to fight the thin-ness, get a compressor. Honestly, especially on a strat, once you start using one you'll probably keep one on at all times, it just helps a lot. Especially when doing FX stuff like U2-style delays, or layering leads

[@Ottophil]

I use a different amp for cleans and distortion. The clean amp always has a compressor on in front. Distortion always has an overdrive.

[@bymbie]

I always use a compressor with my clean sound with the strat. I like the option to blend clean and compressed signal. It just does "something" that is right.

[@Bacontruffle]

@@Ottophil Yeah you tend not to need a compressor when already running distortion. Can still help though, especially on something like a LP it can tighten up the sound (maybe that's because of the attack option on my compressor)

[@Bacontruffle]

@@bymbie That is actually rather cool, haven't seen that before yet. But yeah, especially for cleans it just makes everything better and smoother

[@bks252]

I agree with the compressor unless you’re running at very loud amp volume. With a Vox almost dimed out, it has a lot of natural compression, also a DR Z. At the volume most of us play, compressor helps. I use a Keeley. Dude makes great pedals. Love your videos man. Keep up the good work!

[@hortamaroto]

Even the Vox Pathfinder 10 is a beast, despite its size. It's amazing what Vox amps can do

[@nope929]

For the price it's great, but it's not really something you can stick with for a long time, or at least is wasn't for me, but I bought an AC10 so I guess that tells you that they're making quality products to have someone return for more

[@sirbaronvoncount4147]

i had a pathfinder and it was amazing

[@connormckee4431]

The pathfinder 10 is great, I also picked up the (now discontinued) pathfinder 15 and it’s so great!

[@Lack0]

@@nope929 I also had a pathfinder, then bought the AC10C1 and an older Cambridge with one 12ax7. They all had that vox sound I was chasing for as a Queen fan. The ac10 at high volume with my Brian May guitar sounded exactly like Queen. Since I moved on to Fractal I don't use any vox style amp anymore. My new favourite is the Diezel VH4. Never heard such detailed guitar sound ever. Also tried the real vh4 once and the Fractal model is spot on. Another very similar amp to the vox is the Laney Lionheart. I had the 5w studio version. The only amp I regret selling.

[@thebenefactor6744]

Welcome to the vox fold. I just had mine cranked two days ago and was reminded of how glorious it sounded. As other posters have mentioned, switch that speaker to an alnico blue, and the angels will be showing up at your door.

[@joelsmith552]

When I was a teenager learning guitar, I worked at a chili parlor with a friend from high school and I'd have my guitar in the the trunk and we would go to his house to jam after work. His dad was a former touring pro with a lot of great gear and would help us along. One night he put me on lead with a Gibson Explorer plugged into his road worn AC30. Been chasing that tone ever since.

[@kwslhs]

You have a fantastic amp. One of the best tremolos around - period. Decent reverb with it's own character. Don't overlook the value of the Normal channel. It's a killer clean and works great with pedals as well. As a Fender player, you will want to hear that amp shine doing it's clean thing in addition to the classic Vox gain. You don't want to miss it.

[@negativezero3107]

both channels run through the same tubes so they talk, you can use both channels at the same time, you can get the real low end doing it, screw negative feedback!!!!

Man your content is soo clean, clear, and easy to understand (especially when I'm an Argentinean whose first language is spanish) that I MUST subscribe to this channel! God bless you my man!

[@severebash9153]

Worth mentioning the Vox AC10, besides being a fantastic amp, it works great paired with anything. If I’m playing with something Fender-y, i have a switcher that unsilences the Vox as like a boost. It’s great!

[@steveburrell7969]

[@SB-kw6oo]

Oof the crunch from that top boost is *chef kiss*

[@aaronlarsen7447]

I never had a Vox or thought much about them until I heard one at the music store. The gain was just right. A light touch was clean and a little aggression was able to be coaxed from the instrument. Jazz, blues, early rock, surf, spaghetti Western and country all sound great. Basically Vox is very convincing within the popular styles of the 50s through to the 70s. I'm a minimalist and leaning towards, a one pickup p90 guitar, and no pedals. This kind of amp would be good for that. It has a nice voice.

[@squirelova1815]

Vox amps were the first Guitar oriented amp circuits designed for guitar music and that were not just modified Radio frequency circuits out of the RCA circuits manual. Even the little Vox solid state modeler Adio Air GT is pretty incredible with surround sound no less and the advanced acoustical performance engineering built into it is very impressive.

[@jaricklosey4607]

[@jeffnelson57]

[@marcoadami7271]

The vox sound is so unique. I bought a week ago an ac30 c2 and it’s magical. I NEVER tought that i will use so much the tremolo!! I use it on my cleans putting a low speed and a medium width and a lot of reverb and it’s magical! The top boost is even better if it’s possible and with the bridge pick up of a strat and max level on top boost you have the astonishing tone of deep purple.

[@castleanthrax1833]

Richie used an ac30 as one of his three (I think)main amps, around the Machine Head time, so it's not surprising.

[@audreyayers6534]

I’ve been a Vox fan basically ever since I started taking electric guitar more seriously. I used to own an AC15HW, which I adored, but had to sell when my band broke up and I fell on hard times a few years back. but a couple years later I was able to replace it and I can say I am now lucky enough to own my dream amp- a 2007 AC30H2L which is housed in a beautiful mahogany cabinet and features the rare EF86 Normal channel. I saw it when I was first shopping for the aforementioned AC15HW and was immediately enamored but thought “no way I’ll be able to get one tho” ha. anyway, I always get really stoked to see people giving Vox love and especially when they’re discovering that love for the first time. enjoy your new amp!

[@geoffarnold6265]

“I play in church I need 5000 pedals” I felt that in my core

[@zildjianrickenbacker8492]

another thing about the AC15C1, the treble and bass stack is interactive, even in the normal channel. A way to get more tone shaping out of the amp is to plug into the Normal, crank the volume in the Top Boost circuit, and adjust the treble/bass and adjust accordingly with the Tone Cut. the downside is that you might need to turn up the Master Volume up a bit too, but I can't remember exactly; you also may have more background noise when running the amp, but it's not too noticeable unless you're right next to it and everything else is dead silent. the AC15 is absolutely a versatile beast, with tremendous value.

[@TheBedroomRocker1]

There's a reason why this has been one of the best-selling tube amps for the past 10 years. As you pointed out, it nails the vintage Vox tone without breaking the bank, enough power to gig, great analog reverb and tremolo, loaded with Celestion speakers (both Greenback and Alinco Blue are great in their own right), and two channels with a master volume. But please do yourself a favor and crank the master volume up when you have the chance! It REALLY opens up the amp and it's a totally different story. An important part of the Vox tone is to get those EL84 power amp tubes cooking and you can't get that with the master volume set low.

[@vincentl.9469]

playing indoors you will not crank the master. At 10 watts it is still too loud to crank up in most homes. maybe we need a Tonemaster style version ..

[@Florida_guy]

I like the kinda stuff you play on this video it sounds good dude

[@comicsrcool5483]

Welcome to the world of Vox Mike. You wont be sorry you went here. I love Fender amps also, but the Vox experience is a whole other level. Now let me blow your mind for a second. The amp you have, the AC15C1 has a Greenback speaker in it. Very much a 70s to modern day Vox sound. Great with high gain and great for an edgy Vox sound. The same amp comes in the AC15C1X. The difference? The Speaker. The Alnico Blue. When people talk about the vintage Vox sound from the 60s...this is it. Its brighter and has more chime. I played these two amps side by side and lets just say, I have some really nice AC15s. Deciding would have made me crazy. So when I want that rockin gritty Vox sound, the C1, When I want to bring out my Beatles or Byrds or 60s Vox tones, the C1X. You now need to discover the world of ABY. You plug into an ABY switcher with the Vox on one side and a Fender style amp on the other. You'll never look back. The tones you can get from a two amp set up are amazing....and the ABY switcher also lets you flip between the two amps! So you're not limited to two amps, you can always just turn one "off"

[@ramon4545]

Great choice! During the pandemic I came across a deal I couldn’t pass up on a AC30hw. I wasn’t even looking for a new amp. I am so glad I bought it the tones are just amazing and they take pedals so well I almost forget insanely heavy though lol.

Bought a Vox AC15C1 new in Summer of 2013 when I was 16. Now almost 10 years later it's still my only amp. It survived years of gigging/recording. I changed the tubes and modded the speaker to a Weber Blue Dog Ceramic (then my band mates complained I wasn't as loud so I changed back to the Greenback). Although I use Logic Amp Designer more often nowadays for recording I still love to drag it out when I wanna move some air in the room.

[@briantost7125]

I’ve been playing an AC15 for over two yrs. Everything from shoegaze to country to 90s grunge fuzz. It takes it all very well. I was surprised that I really love the Normal channel much better than the Top Boost and I just use the cut knob to dial in my presence.

[@ricopaulson1]

My comment I just added (below). Vox boys only use the Normal. Tip from an AC30 player for life. The TB circuit is the weakest part of the amp. It's great if you're using zero pedals and want some gain to play dad riffs. But when using it as a pedal platform, where you want to add different types of gain it becomes a hat on a hat. Gain pedals loose some oomph with it. Plus being stuck in perm OD can suck for textures and dynamics. The real secret is adding compression then gain ( any style of your choosing) into the Normal channel. I use the JHS Whitey Tighty compressor into a TC Mini Spark as my always on. It gives you loads of clean headroom but the comp and boost add db and push the amp a bit harder than just plugging straight in. I keep it clean so when I add OD it sounds like OD and isn't lost like it would be in the TB channel. It's very bell like and chimey, which complements my delay and reverb. It's the secret sauce to Vox amps. You lose some tone settings, as Normal only uses the Normal, Tone Cut, and Master knobs. But honestly, get your tone from your guitar. The amp will make that tone sing. Simplicity is key here. Forget your pedalboard? Use the TB. Want to really hear a Vox by taking advantage of the circuit with a few simple pedals? Use the Normal channel.

[@domb1591]

I have a vox vavletronix from the ( I think) early 2000s that my grandpa gave me for my first amp. I must say since then I can not find any other amp to top the tone that comes out of this big jem. It can replicate any Vox amp and has multiple features. And I hear you when you say its heavy, trying to pick it up requires me and my dad just to move it. I also recently got a Strat and it sounds amazing with the amp. Love Vox and fender pairs just sounds amazing.

[@thiscorrosion900]

The Valvetronix series are damned fucking good amps. If you don't mind that they are usually not tube (some had a tube preamp in them though), modeling and FX etc., and aren't going to sound like a real AC15 or AC30, they are unbelievable and powerful amps. Great also if you cannot be arsed with 10 pedals and all kinds of FX bollocks, just set up some sounds on the Valvetronix and go!

[@fractal_nature]

This is such a timely video for me as I'm weighing options for my strat of either a Fender Blues Jr or a Vox AC151C!! Both are 15W with 12" speaker. It'll be my first tube amp and I think I'm going with the Vox! Thanks man!!

[@ItsJustRyan89]

I’d consider the Laney L5T-112. It’s the best of both worlds.

[@stonemad35]

I've been truly enjoying your content, and your playing. I started playing again about 4 years ago. I started by collecting gear, and quickly realized that the rabbit hole went too far compared to the gear in the 90's when I first played. After a lot of research, I went with the Line 6 Helix. It gets me about 98% on every tone I try to emulate, and 100% amazing tone to gig with. I also play in a church, and that versatility was a big sale point, as well as not having to track cable problems when one of my 20 pedals had an issue. Just my two cents.

[@brettadkins7563]

I’ve been almost exclusively an acoustic player for years, on a whim I picked up a Squire Tele and a spark amp and over the last year have fully embraced the electric. It’s slightly daunting though once you start having GAS, you’re very correct, all the “tone chasing” and choices just gets to be too much for me. I’m really interested in the helix, I was just searching them on reverb a bit ago. How do they work? Can you plug straight into one with a good set of headphones and use it that way? Or do they have to be played through an amp or monitors?

[@stonemad35]

@@brettadkins7563 I have the Helix LT. I play through my studio monitors in my home studio, through my amp at most gigs, direct into PA at my church, and use headphones at home. If you have a basic knowledge of amps and effects, possibilities are limitless for 1/1000 the cost. There is also the POD Go that has the exact same amps and effects, just more simplistic, less buttons, and no xlr output.

[@JupiterFerrari]

Thanks for sharing, Mike! Great video. That amp sounds awesome!!

[@johngerson7335]

When plugged into the "top boost" channel, use the volume knob on your guitar to control your guitar signal's input-to-amp level and you can control the channel's amount of overdrive. Turn down; it cleans up - turn it back up; natural overdrive swells back into the sound picture. It's a natural (and practical; less footwork) way to control tube-amp overdrive, especially a Vox of the type you own now. Give it a try!

[@leadstrat]

You’re going to think I’m crazy, but I’ve had an AC15 for 5 years now and I’ve barely touched it. In part because my gear has been all over the place and I got the thing for next to nothing because I ran into someone who didn’t know what they had. Now I am working on a dedicated guitar room and I took the amp out and cranked it up with a low master volume. As you said, game changer! I’m really enjoying this thing now!

I'm stunned you bought it without testing it, risky... I have a first series Yamaha G100B-212, talk about a heavy amp...

Setting the volume to 3 attracts the police 😆 and that's in my single family home w a heavily wooded acre between my neighbors I'm thinking the neighbors bake you cookies all the time... with borax 🤣

[@MadJackF1]

I just found this video three months later. I've had mine for nine years and it's one of my two favorite guitar amps. The other is a 6G2 '62 Brownface Princeton that I run with my AC15C1. First recommendation is for the ABY pedal. The basic Morley ABY works great for me. You get (A) Normal Channel, (B) Top Boost Channel and (Y) both channels run parallel. the (Y) cannel is like a fatter, fuller Top Boost channel. I found the stock (Belton) reverb tank to be a bit too kerrang-y. I swapped in a MOD reverb tank. I used the medium decay, but if you like a more ambient reverb, use the long decay. The stock Celestion Greenback is a great speaker. My taste leaned more to the Celestion Alnico Blue for a bit more of a vintage tone.

[@Rogers1977]

I love my AC15. I recommend running both Normal and Top Boost channels simultaneously through an AB\Y. It allows for a lot of EQ shaping and blending or switching back and forth between channels! Congrats on your purchase!

[@RollandMatthewWeber]

Ooooo, that's a great idea! Thank you!

[@Ammahuman]

Yes,good call👍👍

[@severebash9153]

Nice! Can I ask, is phase an issue at all? I like the idea of quasi-channel jumping!

[@Ammahuman]

@@severebash9153 No issue at all,the blended channels yield great tones but for the ac15 yo need the channel box....well worth buying AB/Y👍👍

[@GuitarBailey]

That's exactly what I was doing

[@EllisAnimalDefender]

Vox is my favorite tone the clarity is unmatched

[@ifodaniell]

I definitely like the Vox over the Supro you used on earlier recordings. Save your back by picking up a little hand truck to move the thing around with.
