Matches the colour scheme of the room it's in. Spousal approval? :lol:

This take on it raised my eyebrows recently.. "Hey, Apple's slaves did a great job on my iPad... so maybe Vox's slaves are just as good." :wtf:

Fucking good thing they listened! These are really nice sounding amps, a lot of gain up at the knee wobbling end, they can really roar when wound up. Awesome chiming clean tone too, and then the classic jangly breakup.

Should've taken a picture in front of the red wall in the other room... I have no spouse to approve or disapprove. :)

Weekend? Why wait for the weekend? 8)

And yet more congrats. I have a similar AC15 (also with a blue) and it's pretty much my favourite amp I've ever owned. You've got a keeper there.

The speaker is starting to break in nicely. Still plenty of breaking in to go obviously, but it's already sounding even better. I had a hunch that it would sound great with any guitar, and it does. Really screams '60s with my Tele (too bad the Tele is playing like a dog at the moment).

Can't wait to get a reverb pedal to use with it too. :D
