My first amp back in 1969 was a Vox Cambridge. It was a better amp than I realized back then, but we all wanted bigger amps so we could destroy our hearing more quickly.

You are one of the few guys out there who really stays on point, and not just in love with yer own voice, which makes your videos so watchable (some more than once). Out of curiousity I searched KZread for any live gigs you played on but only found a few captured with bad audio on IPhones. Just seeing you noodle, I can see you have chops and would love to see any video of you playing live. BTW - one video - tho audio was not good, revealed you have a real good voice. Happy supporter here.

Oh my. This is one for the ages. Love the back story and the amp sounds killer. The fact that the amp was far from original actually added to the appeal. Talk about resurrecting an amp and making it even better than it was before. That custom cabinet is a beautiful creation and you know that sonically it lifted that amp to new heights. Great episode, Zac. You continue to amaze and inspire us all. Be sure to let us hear that amp again from time to time.

Amazing story and amazing work. Great video on a great project Zac. Killer tone.

Absolutely fascinating video!!!! Thought I knew about VOX amps!!! Phew!! Learned so much here!! I'm fortunate to own an early 60's "Copper top AC 30 Super twin" owened it since 1968! Also a "grey panel" mid 60's AC 30 combo amp with "Silver speakers" owned since 1974!!! Both great amps! Cheers from England!!

Thank you Zac. Learned alot from you today. I too am a huge Vox fan but never considered AC 10. Thank you

Thanks Zac! So, decades ago in my Vox phase, it wasn't my ears that were the problem, or my lack of skill squeezing out "The Vox Sound" I could never get!

That was a very informative episode! Great tone there. I had a modern China made AC 10 but sold it. It tended to break up a little too early for me in a giggling situation unless I was solely playing a blues gig. I much preferred the modern AC 15 because it produced more headroom that I needed. I would definitely love to play a vintage circuit like that vintage AC 10. What a great looking amp! That’s a masterful job on the cabinet. I’ve subscribed to the Vintage Wood Workshop channel. So glad for you Zac. You deserve it.

Great video Zac! I was just playing through my late '62/early '63 AC10 twin today! I had a '63 AC30 rear panel topboost for twenty years and loved loved loved that amp. But it was just a museum piece for much of it due to its ridiculous weight and volume. After selling it and searching for a few years I found this AC10 up here on the west coast of Canada for 2 thousand bucks! Scooped it and it's just a fantastic Vox. I recently found a pair of Elacs for it after searching for three years. They actually sound great, but I will swap out for something that can handle more than 4 watts(ridiculous)! My amp already had the input mod done before I bought it and I added a bright car to the amp so that I can get a little more top end out of the normal channel which I do like for rhythm stuff(suggested by Hugh Price). I'd like to try the Celestion Golds, but I know they are not Blues so I'd probably be disappointed and they'll add a lot of weight. Enjoy that amp and can't wait to see and hear more! Cheers

That. Is. KILLER! I took this past year to get into the specifics of electric guitar gear, and I think I'm solidly a Vox guy, esp. after hearing the tones in this amp.

Thanks Zak, wonderful!! A Vox story: in Chicago, a gtr player friend Jeff King started a band in the '80s, Loose Lips. The main singer, Richie Mayer, played a hardtail Strat through an AC 30. My friend played a modded Strat of his own design with a Deluxe for leads and a Super for rhythm. OMG I heard that Strat/AC 30 and fell in love, and immediately went and found a 1960 w/o Top Boost, which I still own and love. Richie heard me playing my Strat with my AC30 one day, and he came over and yelled at me to turn the tone controls "all the way off", and he was right! Try it. I also had to mod the amp, adding a fan, because the power tubes kept blowing up because they were so hot.

Any problems with the EF-86 channel (I assume you have it?) going microphonic - the reason they designed it out...?

Great video! I was a total Vox-o-phile when I was 14-15 years old. (1964-65.) My first good amp was a Thomas Organ-made Cambridge Reverb that I got new in 1966. I joined my first good band in ‘67 with that amp and a Vox Phantom XII guitar. The amp sounded good, but it didn’t have enough power to cut through the other guys’ Fender Bassmans and Pro Reverb! They made me trade it in on a Fender Bandmaster, and I had to borrow the money from my dad to make up the difference. The biggest problem was the Phantom XII guitar, but that’s another story...

Tube Vox's Shine in Many Genres of Music. Blue's, Rock, Country, Reggae, Jazz etc. Jazz Great John Schofield has been using AC 30s for Years. Strats & Tele's Shine like Glimmering Diamonds through Em. And as far as Clean... Yes, they can sound extremely clean if one knows how to Dime an Amp. Vox's can & are most definitely a versatile amp.

Vox amps with the Pentode front end is just magic, especially with single coils.

I don't have a Vox, but I do have a Bugera T5 Infinium 5 watt that is all the Vox vibe you would ever want in a compact, affordable amp head. Just pair it with a decent cab & you'll be pleased with the jangly tones. Beatles & Tom Petty tones all day!! I play a an Esquire with a Seymour Duncan '55 Antiquity pick-up and it gets great tones through the Bugera.

The Beatles stopped using AC30's live when they got the AC50's etc but they still used AC30's in the studio to record with for sure. No doubt about that. They had many different Vox amps and of course Fenders later.

You may have already discovered this, but if not: Plug into the EF86 channel, make sure the tremolo is switched off, then turn the Amplitude control. Because of how this control is connected to the EF86, it will change the gain & headroom of the EF86 (giving grit at lower volume if you want it). Discovered that on my own '65 AC10 Twin.

Very important tip!

Congrats on the killer amp! I love all the AC10's I've played. The AC10SRT is another great model you should look into. It was a head/cab configuration with awesome tones, and a tragically bad reverb circuit. haha The EF86 is a cool tube, but all my favorite tones come from the AC30 normal channel. It's a 12AX7 channel. The EF86 sounds really cool because of the unique way it overdrives the power section. It's a really high gain tube, and makes really cool overdrive sounds with the zero negative feedback design in a Vox. For guys with tons of pedals like me though, it's kinda unusable. You can't set an EF86 Vox at its best gain setting, and expect to use pedals with it that well. So that's why I'm a normal channel guy. TLDR: Vox amps with EF86 sound amazing when playing straight to the amp, but are hard to use with pedals if you're expecting to use the amp's overdrive.

The SRT is a killer, and very rare amp. Yes, EF86 Vox's sound great straight in, but I think you can get away with a couple of boxes in front of one without losing the magic.

The AC4 has an EF86 preamp too. Pretty rare, weird little amp with tremolo. Great sound, mine is a '65.

I had a Vox amp that was a little different, it was that 'Tony Bruno' model they brought out a few years back, 2 X 12" speakers, 35 watts with 6V6 tubes, so it had more of a Fender Twin vibe, but different, it weighed like 80 LBS so a real beast to carry around!

The thing about those heavy Vox cabs is the MDF makes them sound better than solid wood or ply, attenuates the harsh highs it seems? The "cheap" amps like Silvertone used MDF for baffles too, and the screws would strip on them easily, one guy changed it for a plywood baffle thinking it would improve the tone, but the amp never sounded as good again. Stereo audiophile speakers use MDF cabinets for a reason? I like my Gibson amps with solid redwood cabs!

There are good reasons for why input resistance for an EF86 is higher than an ECC83. I'm not familiar with AC10 layout... if the input resistor can be placed after the 1M grid resistor in the circuit, ideally directly to the pin of the EF86 socket, it's value will not affect gain.

Love that AC10, but I don't think it would suit me & the rest of my rig. The Top Boost is a little much, just my taste. I kinda like AC15s w/Greenbacks. Normal channel, takes my pedals really well.
