A Brilliant Piece Of VOX Work!
There are tons of reviews about this amp and tons of forums telling people to mod this amp straight out of the box. I say DON'T. Don't touch it. There's a reason Vox build this lovely little powerhouse the way they did. Simply put - Engineering. These guys know what they are doing. They use certain components for a reason. They source the proper parts and custom make other part to make sure every thing is perfect. This amp sound totally VOX because of this. The custom VX10 sounds perfect in the mostly closed back cabinet. The Chinese made tube don't suck, like many purists think. They go well with the all circuit board construction. Even the way the chassis is engineered to fit perfectly in this small sized cabinet. Light, portable, loud, clean headroom and lots of room for grit. You can't touch an amp like this for the price. The closest size weight amp is the Fender Princeton (I own a 1966). A new Princeton will run double in price. OK, the Princeton is more handmade, but when you play these side by side, the Vox AC 10 C1 stands up and hold its own. It will be a classic amp some day, like the Princeton. Get in on the ground floor and pick one up for 499. That's nothing for what you get. Pure, Sweet, Jangly, Gritty, Real VOX Tone! Don't change a thing on this amp. You'll change the base character and be disappointed, as well as a few hundred euro poorer for having bought NOS tubes and vintage speaker. You don't need to do it. It's perfect as it is. VOX tone at its best.

Excellent small tube amp
Excellent small tube amp, easy to move around for rehearsals and small gigs, the sound is great with great eq range from sharp trebles to middle basses as well, the dynamic respond amazing the natural tube overdrive with me strat is just great ( no drive or boost pedals needed ) , thinking of buying a second one to play them stereo, very loud amp for just 10 watts don’t think you can crank that little monster at home easily it will blow your ears, it is not a bedroom amp, I play blues rock and tube overdrive is just amazing, not recommended if you need loud cleans, this amps breaks up before 12 o clock even with single coils, the loudness is at gigging levels but overdriven, even for small outdoor party’s at my friends garden no mic needed for gigging hard blues rock, great reverb as well. Highly recommended

Love this amp
I almost bought AC30, but I was worried I won't be able to use it at home.... and I was right. I can't even crank up the 10W AC10 :-)
Taking into account that this is all subjective, the amp has a fantastic tone, I love it. I'm playing a Gibson Les Paul through it.
- It's plenty loud (too loud for a small room).
- Great thick tone
- Nice reverb
Verdict: Fantastic amp!

Very Pleased
Bought this as my first tube amp and I have been very satisfied. Lovely Vox sound and has been possible to play in my apartment without disturbing the neighbors too much. Have not tried to do gigs with this amp nor jam with a band but for my living room jams it has been Fantastic. And it is quite light compared to many other similarly sized amps. Would have preferred to have spring reverb rather than digital.
Overall, Loving it. Will probably not be getting rid of it in a very long time.

Great amp for small gigs and home use. Especially the best pairing with a telecaster

Good amp
I use my amp for practicing, as I am a beginner. My guitar is a Gibson Les Paul Tribute, which I also like. Great combination in my opinion.
This amp gives a natural, organic, sweet sound. Remeniscent of 60-70s british rock.
What I miss in this amp is a clean channel. I own a couple of quality pedals, like the Bosh BD-2w Blues Driver, which I wish I could connect to a clean channel. So sometimes I wish I had bought the AC15 instead. That being said the sound coming from the amp with a bit of gain on is really really good.

great sounding amp!
Sound is open, full of tube feeling - it is not comparable to solid state amplifiers. Sounds great with single-coil and humbuckers. The only complain is it is so loud that I could play it at home only when I am alone without family members :)

Beautiful valve amp ! Hell of a sound!
The Vox AC10C amp is superb! Beautiful with a clear and crisp sound!
Having previously owned amps with built in effects , I was searching for an amp like this : no knobs to play with as such , just plug in and play .Not light either , a few kilos , well constructed , solid .There is nothing to dislike about it , and it's loud ! I use it to practise , jam with friends in a more than reasonable size room .
Thomann as always , packs its stuff well and it arrives sooner than you anticipate! Best prices in Europe too .
