Vox AC15 C1

Im very happy with this amp. It has two channels, normal and top boost, both have plenty of useable tones. I principally use the top boost channel, it produces beautiful clean tones with loads of clean headroom for a relatively small amp. The tremolo is nice, but maybe not the best tremolo i've heard, much the same with the reverb, nice, but not amazing, i tend to use these effects sparingly. The amp breaks up nicely when pushed and you can get amazing classic vox tones. It is perfect for classic rock or indie rock or blues, it is certainly not a high gain amp, though there is plenty of crunch available. The master volume and tone cut features are very useful for getting an overdriven sound and relatively low volumes. The amp is heavy though, even for a tube amp and i would not like to have to lug it around for gigs. Certainly an amazing ampf for home/practice/ recording and smalll gigs.

I was on a budget and wanted a classic ?British?sounding amplifier. This just beats everything hands down. You can have the classic Vox chime or a fatter bluesier overdrive all at a sensible volume....don?t get me wrong it is more than capable of handling a pub gig and as a blues/classic 60s/70s type of player, I don?t need clean headroom. I did swap the Chinese tubes for JJs and that made a big difference. The only drawbacks for me are the absence of an effects loop and the reverb tank has never worked on my amplifier, so I bought a ?verb pedal that would sound better in a loop but never mind! All in all very pleased.
