802blues is right Cap10. Rory Gallagher is the reason Brian May uses a VOX AC30. When Rory was in Taste, Brian asked how he got his tone. Rory explained it was the boost he used in conjunction with an AC30. Rory moved on to other amps when he went solo, but his sound in Taste inspired The Edge who till this day uses an AC30.

***** It's exactly the opposite, all the old vids were "unnatural" and the new ones are much more fluid and natural with more frames per second. Chances are you're so used to tv/cinema/30fps vids that you find real movements on screen "strange".

CaptAnderton The Strat sounded better through that amp in my opinion

I think some of you guys are being really unfair on the reverb - OK, its just a fairly cheap internal digital reverb but it sounds OK & lets not forget, the whole amp costs less than the Strymon Bigsky reverb pedal!! If you don't like the internal reverb just turn it off!

CaptAnderton Points in favor of digital reverb: * Nearly all reverb pedals are digital, and people like those just fine. * Every cheap tube amp should have digital reverb thrown in because why not? * The spring unit in my AC30 sounds nice, but its weak (like a lot of non-Fender reverbs) and only adds a little extra depth to the sound. To get a more noticeable effect, I'd have to use a pedal anyway.

I got this amp for Christmas. It's absolutely amazing. I wouldn't trade it for anything in that price range. It responds extremely well to pedals, and gets pretty loud!

I am blown away by this amp. I've always loved Vox anyway. But you guys are right. There is just something going on with the midrange that makes this amp irresistible to my ears. Great review. Even greater amp.

This is my favorite vid that you guys have done. Great playing and great sounding amp.

Sweet. I bought two and have them running stereo for about six years now, no treble booster unfortunately, but my jubilee gold BMG signature sounds amazing through this. I went with Vox ac10’ s because of this video. I have not been disappointed.

I am just glad you folks do videos it really enjoy a real down to earth instrument review, and the manufacturers should pay you you have sold me.

Love being able to hear shredding and rocking from Chappers as well as some bluesy clean playing from the Capt. Makes for a well-rounded review.

I picked one of these up a couple months ago, and in 30 years of playing, it may very well be the favorite of all the amps I ever had.

Re: Blues players for vox Rory Gallagher played Ac30s his whole career Got some great tone

Good GRIEF that sounds amazing. Played one at Guitar Center today and it sounded dope as heck. Didn't get a chance to run it very hot, so thanks for this.

I think I may have to try one of these. Thanks for showing it to us.

I've just been looking for a good bedroom amp, and after I listened to the first minute of this demo, I was just like... I'm getting that! Great review guys, as all ways, explaining everything to the fullest!

@Pollo Guitar Depends on what kind of music the drummer is playing. It's pretty damn loud but of course can be overpowered by stuff with more watts.

The idea of running it in stereo is exactly what I do. I run an ac15 and an old Marshall solid state at a much lower volume but it adds tons of bass response that I love.

Its exactly what I'm looking for. Great demo guys, Thanks, Mars

been waiting for you guys to demo the ac 10c ,and it sounds great on you tube.

Good review guys. I think you make some honest, useful and funny reviews. Keep on the good work!

Yum that is one beautiful looking chapman, love guitars where you can see the real grain of the wood!!

I've played an AC10 recently and it's indescribable how great it sounds, the Reverb on it didn't seem quite as strong as it does in the video, very very nice in stereo with a Princeton.

One of the few single 10" speaker that sounds amazing.

Nice! An AC4C1 on steroids: - + air around the VX10 - + one EL84 - + usable reverb Refreshing review ... you nailed it! Thanks!

I'm pleased you've done a review of this little Vox...Time for a brew and a 20min tea break! Ps. White Dove has become a fan favourite in the car as per my 5yr old son...Great work!

Great sounding amp, I might have to look into getting, I didn't mind the reverb, but that tone both clean and with gain is killer! I also liked the look of the chapman guitar.. All natural!

that tele is so beautiful! thanks for your daily Hard work guys :)

I'm glad that Rob pointed out that giggable and rehearsable isn't the same, a lot of confusion about that.

hyperliteBo regardless though he was dead wrong. This amp is Class A and 10 watts. It's true that the 10 inch speaker doesn't move a lot of air, but for rehearsing in a confined space, 10 watts of Class A tube volume is plenty loud enough for most bands. Plug it into a 2x12 and you've got enough volume for pretty much anything...

i really love the brutal vox tone, it gives such a "in your face" sound, great review!

Iv been debating on getting a 212 for my AC10 but after seeing this it’s on its way. This is such a great amp I can’t wait to plug it into the Vox 2x12 cabs.

I just bought one of these. The 10 inch Celestion speaker in this amp sounded way bigger than the 12" Greenbacks in the AC15C1 that was sitting right next to it. I went in to the store looking to by an AC15C1 and ended up buying this. It just simply sounded better than the AC15C1!

Hey Captain, stay away from the blues more often! That was epic! So much so, I’m going to get me one of those AC10 babies! 😎👍

I just decided to pull he trigger and buy one tomorrow! Thanks guys, great review.

Oh and for what its worth - in order to double an amps output, you have to multiply wattage by 10. So a 10 watt amp is only 1/2 as loud as a 100 watt amp, not 1/10th as loud. I love when people are shocked by how loud a 10 watt amp is.

@voxpathfinder15r

Well it doesn't sound half as loud as a 100 watt Marshall stack, but for some reason people never realize you can use the line out and feed the same stack - and then it's half as loud! Sometimes total wattage seems to matter very little, it's more about the speaker setup being used.

I used to use ( until it died after 100,s of gigs and touring ) a Fender Champ 12 onstage and those are serious volume monsters , and I put a Celestion Greenback in it . At the loudest time onstage I had the master on the drive channel at maybe 1.5 and even then I was getting dirty looks from the rest of the band .

this is fantastic, if I didn't have an AC30 already I'd probably get one of these. everyone needs Vox in their lives, the harmonic content is just awesome on a driven AC

Sounded great on you tube. Fella with dreads is a pretty amazing guitar player!!

Bapalapa30 Rory - I saw him play at the fender stratocaster 40th aniversary show in manchester. Half way through he played his telecaster

That's definitely the best Chapman guitar I've seen so far. Love it. I think the Cap-10 would look great with a maple cap and neck.

Awesome stuff... Loved the captains whos who of riffs whilst I was growing up lol

I rehearse with this. To be fair, our drummer doesn’t play as loud as some, and I always use it on high gain with humbuckers. Volume has never gone above half way

ok, through the big cab this actually sounded amazing! especially with that plimsoul pedal.

Rob's playing never fails to impress anew with every video. 'Run to the Hills' did catch me offguard though.

Great video!! Beautiful telecaster, I would love to test one of this guitars in Brazil, unfortunately we don´t have it available yet!!

Thinking about picking one of these up for my Les Paul!

Rory Gallagher used an ac30.

Ever since Capt got his '58 LP he seems to have rededicated himself to being a player! Sounds frickin great!

Picked one up today. This thing loves p-90s!

Great sounds! I've played the new AC10 in person, and man, does it look SMALL in that video surrounded by the giant Marshall and Orange amps. By itself, it's a nice-sized amp for home/small club use, and I thought it was very full sounding.

Captain's tone at 8:02 is making me want this amp, there's something so sweet about it!

I'm digging it since I feel this is a good wattage for home practice and jamming

I am a big fan of British amplifiers, especially Vox. I was had my mind set on getting the AC4 TV but after watching this demo I think I have changed my mind.

Great! You should make a video with the difference between this and the Ac 15!!!

I tried this recently and was blown away how good it sounded. I got a 2x12 that I like, I might have to invest in one of these as a new "head"

This sounds awesome...one of the best review tones ive heard 15:40

I´m really loving this amp...thinking about buying one and putting it through a 2x12" cab and maybe a 12AT7 in the preamp to bring that gain down a bit....sounds great though!

Great video guys, love this amp! Bought one after I watched the first video VOX put out about it. Reverb is actually decent sounding, unless I just lucked out with a good one. I have several other reverb pedals that I use and only use the reverb around 7-8 o'clock. I really like this amp for blues better than my blues jr. Mine is upgraded to Greenback and JJ 12at7, 12ax7, and Sovtek EL84's, AT7 cuts the gain slightly and gives it a more bluesy sound with gain around 10-12 o'clock.

How much does the greenback improve sound? Do you know if ef86 work well on this?

@JimsGuitarGarage

9 жыл бұрын

+Daniel Novak I wouldn't use the ef86, they have different pinouts. you could have a shop modify your amp. The greenback has the sound I prefer, much more bass and highs are not as spike and annoying when playing with single coils. As usual there is a pronounced midrange that is the greenback signature. I would also recommend a WGS green beret or the awesome new ET10.

Love your videos! I am trying to decide between the AC10 and the AC4. You gave both solid reviews, and both sound great in your videos. I don't know if I would use the built-in reverb on the AC10, and I don't have the need for tons of volume, so I'm leaning toward the AC4, but if the sound quality of the AC10 is considerably better in the room it might be enough to go that route. What would your thoughts be on this comparison? Thanks!

You really know your fretboard man, and that's an understatement

8:00 REEF!!!!! Huge fan, too bad nobody on this side of the Pond knows who they are. I was lucky to see them on the Glow tour in a tiny club in Vancouver. They absolutely slayed.

CaptAnderton I just want the tab for your bluesy rifts.. lol.. I love the two sides that you and chappers presents for every product. The dirty vs the clean

Rory Gallagher got amazing tones from ac30's, I adore his tone and playing!

Great video. Seems like many people enjoyed it. As for digital reverb, let your ears decide whether you like it or not. I have an amp with built in digital reverb, and it sounds very nice. Marshall Mode Four. The amp Alex Skolnick raves about.

amp sounds awesome and so does the playing... p.s rob I downloaded white dove and it sounds amazing, my favorite song right now. Tell everyone who worked on the track that it's awesome!!!

Whenever I hear Rob play the ML-3 Tradish in any of these videos I am absolutely blown away by how awesome it sounds, no matter what the amp. I have an ML-1 which I imported but shit son, I really gotta get me one of those.

Wow! This little ac10 sounds incredible. I think it' s better than my ac30. I hope they will make a 12 inch version or a head with fx loop..

Chappers is spot on re: Gig volume/rehearsal volume. Amp sounds fab!

I played that amp with a 335 in Manchester and have been dreaming about this pairing ever since.

I believe the appropo term would be, "Chroist!!" Genuinely a sweet sounding amp! I have been gigging with my 13 watt Fender Excelsior for the last 5 years. I'm thinking THIS will be my next purchase. Can you say "A/B/Y box"??

Saw this video and went out and bought one immediately. Much better than the orange crush I was looking at and a more unique sound than the blues jr everyone gets. Price was low enough that I don't feel bad for buying it brand new :)

This is a great amp for studio sessions. You could gig with it, but if you are in a smaller space and need some clean tone at lower volumes... Perfect

I'm stoked, I really can't afford a vox 15 or 30, so methinks me going ac10. However I do own an affordable monoorice stage right 15w tube amp that's really sweet at $250 though. A Great video. Thanks. You got my GAS flowing. PS The sound production was awesome in this video.

Good playing today Rob. Nice one!

Awesome, love the works.... keep it up,,,,

I've Always loved the Marshall tone, and the Vox is now pulling a close second.

I majorly dig the JACKASS/HORSE sound after " sounded like " that was WAY precious !

I bought two of these AC10's because of this video you guys. They do sound amazing in person. The sound came out great on your video by the way. I am playing a Brian may gold top and I am running the the AC10's stereo through a cheap Digitech RP 55 multi effects pedal mostly as a way to split the sound at first but now I use this pedal mostly because of the drum section and also because I have tried two other much more expensive pedals and got rid of them and kept this original RP55. I am curious because I can't make out what pedals you are using in the video but they sound great. Ironically I don't play a LOT of Queen but I absolutley love the guitar with these amps. Again what pedals are you using in the video?

Great review guys!!

maa hoo sive ! love it and love you guys !

sounds great guys ... I'm convinced

great review, thx guys

Love the outro! xD

sounds beautiful!

Sound awesome. This is an incredible amp for the money

This is such a fantastic video! After spending 3 hours with one the other night I snagged one! I saw that you turned gain and volume all the way up. Will continued use at that setting hurt the amp? Thanks so much!

Sounded outstanding!

You guys sold me on it, I'm gonna get one!!

Hi captain and chappers. Loved the video. what would you recommend for home use more the vox ac 4 12 inch speaker or the ac 10. And did both amps sound much different.

Now that's a sound. Lovely.
