Almost my birthday why not get a NAD
Trying to downsize my rig a tad, the Katana head and 2x12 was just too much for the bedroom, so I picked this up today for a sharp price, Vox AC10C1, while its not a Dumble clone it will tide me over until I can justify the expense for how little I actually play
I had a short play and it sounds incredible, I miss the little Vox AC4 I had, it was such a great sounding amp, and this is that on steroids (with reverb), am super stoked with it!!
I reckon it sounds significantly better than my old AC15 did, even after swapping tubes and speaker... and it weighs half as much, epic.

Yup! 10" Celestion VX10, actually a cracker sounding speaker from my experience with the AC4C1 I had, no need to swap that out!

I'm gassing for a couple of of Pathfinders to build a home stereo rig and to run wet/dry/wet with my L5t when things need to get a little silly. Underated amps in my book.
I've got an ac4hw with an english blue I could be tempted to part with if ya needed to scratch that itch in the future but I guess that's the whole point of the ac10.

Re: Almost my birthday why not get a NAD
If you think a Katana (which has very low watt options) is too much then any Dumble clone is going to be an issue at home.

That rich harmonic content, I do seem to keep coming back to Vox amps...

They certainly have their own vibe going on. There's a tb35 for sale on TM currently. Would love a schwang on that. 6l6 bottles from memory, and a huge sidestep from tradition for vox.

Re: Almost my birthday why not get a NAD
I remember them clearing those amps out cheap, could be cool!

Re: Almost my birthday why not get a NAD
For some reason I haven't always got on with them so well. I found some of the early Chinese ones pretty harsh and ear bleedy. But I really like the AC10. I nearly got one when I got the Cub 12 but chose the Cub cos it was slightly cheaper, lighter, and had a bit more gain on tap. But not always sure I made the right choice. Dunno I like them both. If I didn't have the Maz I would have chosen the Vox. The Cub for me is more just for a light grab n go no pedals required option.

No, that's your fingers.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
