VOX AC10 C1 Valve Amp Review - One of the best tube amps for home and apartment use!

[@FPLAussieMike]

Love it. Bought it. Watched the full comparison video this one was taken from as well to help make my decision. I have gone from a crap old modeling amp to this one. Man the difference is phenomenal. Thanks for the great review videos.

[@SirVicc]

My next amp. Just need to sell two. LOVE the chiminess and the creaminess. Vox is LOVE.

[@Teclados101-NB]

The VoxAc10 can still blow your windows down.

[@davva360]

I almost bought one of the AC10s. After trying out the AC30, AC15, AC15VR, AC10, AV30 and AV60, I actually bought the AV60. I just thought it gave me the best of all worlds, awesome cleans, great crunch, great overdrive sounds, plenty of volume and a lot of versatility. I find it plays and reacts like a 100% tube amp. Main reason I went for it was the fact it is 2 channel and you can set either channel up as you want. Unlike some where you have 1 clean and 1 dirty, or only certain controls on certain channels. Loving it so far and would highly recommend trying one out. They are well priced at the moment too.

[@baronvonchickenpants6564]

You probably did the right thing, I've just bought the AC10 and it's too loud for home use plus it hates all my drive pedals, it's not very versatile, you need a good reason to buy one, I'm thinking of sending mine back

[@swan-senpai]

Ever since I saw the wall of death Quo used to have (20 AC30s) on stage I always wanted an AC30 but then I saw the price... so glad to have these baby versions.

[@DeltaJazzUK]

A Vox AC10 is only a home amp if you live in an isolated farmhouse.

[@bciecko1]

Haha. Love it.

[@mercigoku]

HAHAHAHAHAAH

[@alexismalicsi3395]

hahahahaha

[@BlackStarFan007]

Yeah no doubt.😂 it’s LOUD

[@Davidthestratman7]

Is it that loud?

[@jeanpat8946]

Nice demo ! I own this amp great sound i play at home, on little Gigs and big stage with a two twelve cab ! Great sounding

[@tomguitar1963]

Great demo I've just got a used ac10cc1 it's truly one of the best sounding amps I've owed

[@zeshanbhatti1507]

I went out and bought this right after watching this video 2 years ago best amp I have ever owned I popped it into the vix 212 and it sounds great

[@CedricSatterfield]

One of my fav Dagan videos! Ive owned this amp 2 times over the last few years. Now I have a Waza tube expander and I can plug this AC10 into any speaker I want, of any rating over 4ohms, and can still attenuate (love the TAE- pricey but solves a lot of problems). Greenback? Sure. And I can use IR's, too. Celestion Gold? You bet. Eminence/Jensen whatever? No problem.

[@colinparks619]

This amp is no joke I can use it in the studio for everything from Mayer, pink Floyd, and country, to death metal with a boost in front on drop A I kid you not

[@RainnAxiss]

Beatles and that!

[@O_Towne_Bear]

I laughed hard.

[@PMTVUK]

haha!

[@nirbhaysaini9578]

@@PMTVUK please can you tell me how to maintain a tube amp. I want to buy one but I am listening from everyone that it is unsafe

[@JeremyLeech]

I always come back to this amp. Its small, but loud! I did replace the speaker to a Celestion 10" G10 Greenback. What a HUGE difference. Sounds more like a 12 inch speaker. Seems to have gotten even louder haha. I replaced the tubes too, cause the original ones went out. Update: I put a creamback in it and it truly rips now.

[@zeroceiling]

Saw a comparison… slightly louder and hissing… not a recommended upgrade!

[@JeremyLeech]

@@zeroceiling must’ve been the comparison because I do NOT have ANY hissing. So yes, it’s a great upgrade. Except now I put a creamback in it.

[@zeroceiling]

Jeremy Leech …I heard that cream backs are a good step…. green backs not so much.

[@JeremyLeech]

@@zeroceiling I definitely prefer the creamback for sure.

[@desimar3287]

WHY IN THE HELL DOES VOX NOT MAKE A HAND WIRED VERSION OF THIS AMP....CRAZY!!

[@peacewalkr]

They do

[@91doctorj]

For the price difference I don't think vox hand wired versions are that's much better

[@Wurlitzer-Jukebox]

Does this Vox truly work at lower bedroom volumes? I'm looking for an amp that can do really low apartment-level volume and still could potentially be used for jamming and small gigs (the holy grail?). Happy to use pedals as I understand getting amp breakup would have me instantly evicted.

[@PMTVUK]

Hi Chris, this is definitely a great option for your apartment, as you can get a great sound at lower volumes. For smaller gigs, this is a great option as you can get some nice sounds out of it when cranked and mic'd up. -Lee

[@chris710schneider8]

Yes! It does it amazingly. I've always fucked with small tube amps and never even gone as high as 10 watts. And usually used 5 Watt amps or some that had attenuators. I had a version the Actv4 that you could get 1/4 watt outta it and it was one of the better versions but this thing is fabulous at low volumes. Just make hairline movements with the gain and volume knobs and you can dial in fat tones at bedroom levels. Real deal. When I was at motor City guitar I kept playing a bunch of amplifiers that I could not afford like dr. Z's and other hand wired masterpieces. Then I plugged in to my AC10c1 limited edition white bronco(same amp different color) and was blown away. Got a great price and fantastic amp that sounds great at normal levels but like I said it holds that tone at very low levels. Worth every cent and a few tweaks and mods and it can be as good as any high end boutique amp.

[@Owen_plays_music1049]

Is this too loud for home playing ? I'm thinking of buying one and maybe a Power Attenuator.

[@waltervt]

Are you Russel Brand?

[@matthewblack7206]

F.F.S. *NO* he isn't...

[@O_Towne_Bear]

I think this might be the only review of an amp, guitar or other (Other?) where I've heard Status Quo. Nice.

[@alexanderson2907]

My ac4 was too loud for any apartment. That includes Baghdad

[@theindiefanclub]

You need to run your video audio through a lo-pass filter, I'm getting some 20kHz squeaks!!

I look for new laney súper 12 or vox ac10 ac15. Whats sound better for you?

[@brianhm1966]

Can I achieve Brian May sound using Treble Booster and this Vox ac10?

[@harshabandreddi2632]

between this and marshall dsl5cr which one would you buy?

[@jamesnortonofficial1566]

Cool!!!

[@anup_pinkfloydian]

Too loud while playing at home. Will a volume pedal work as a solution?

[@Owen_plays_music1049]

Or a Power attenuator maybe ?

[@steve6523]

How do you compare the sound of Queen to Status Quo?

[@JrAccessDenied]

[@ubellubo]

This or a Fender Champion. I need an amp I can practice at home with in the bedroom but one I can also use for practicing with a drummer (if ever get out of lockdown again). I most play sixties inspired stuff, especially the Beatles and the Kinks, but I also like 90s british bands like Teenage Fanclub.

[@danieltv123]

[@secondamendment]

Does it take pedals well, specifically od and fuzz?

[@rqndxm1672]

late response but yes tube amps typically take pedals very well

[@andrewfernandez268]

Can you play classic Metal and modern Metal with this amp

[@PMTVUK]

This is probably not the best amp for Modern, high gain metal on its own. However, if you use a heavy distortion pedal with it, the amp will respond nicely.

[@andrewfernandez268]

@@PMTVUK I have a van halen 5150 overdrive pedal

[@sebastianibanez3206]

Can i get a nice clean with it at high volumes?

[@petergraham9267]

Sebastián Ibáñez hmm............not quite. It’s basically the Top Boost channel only..................if it could be modded to a Normal channel, then YES! 😊👍

[@joshthomas6219]

Hi does anyone on this channel own this amp? Is it true that its difficult to get a purely clean tone on this amp. If im wrong what are the settings on the amp that you use to achieve it? Ive been wanting to buy this but im having an issue with getting a clean sound on it. Also if anyone can recommend a simiilar tube amp in price that helps me achieve really good clean tones? Thanks

Azzi Guitar thank you so much i’m deciding wether to get this ac10 or the fender blues junior, i just want a small tube amp that i can gig with without having to kill my back

[@XscudX]

could you use this for metal?

[@eddievelazquez5467]

Scott McNeil I can only speak for the AC30 that I own, but the AC10 seems to be in the ballpark, and for me using an EVH 5150 Overdrive I get some awesome Hard Rock pushing to metal tones. Obviously not the full on gainy sounds of bands like maybe Killswitch or Lamb of God, but you can play metal with a more vintage tone that will make you sound different, which to me honestly makes the sound more unique than what most metal bands are currently using.

[@sssidney]

This or save a bit for the ac15

No. You just have to give them time to live, just like any tube amp, it takes hours to break them in. You are wasting money and giving bad advices.
