    I’ve got the old 1960’s Vox Royal Guardsman amp on the roller cart in a well earned retirement now. I’m now using the AC-30 with the Alnico blues in it. It makes my Rick jingle jangle, my Fender Strats and Telecasters sing and my Les Pauls roar. It’s a little heavy but it can be moved by one or two guys. There’s enough handles on it. I love it, still gigging at 70 yrs old and no intentions of retiring from it. I told the guys in the band if I go to collapse on stage “ Save the Guitar “. Lol and that’s no joke !!!

  • @dmac3316

    Cool vid. I don’t own a Vox but keep coming back to them, play them in stores. Maybe one day I’ll get one. I’ve heard the AC15 is one of the best made and reliable amps in its range. And I got the tone challenge right, guessed B for blue. PS - I like how you have the decibel meter running to show what type of room volume there is. Not enough demos do this IMO

    I've had one of these for several years and It's been a vey versatile amp. I ran it with the Greenback for a long time and it was great, but I had a Weber Blue Dog laying around so I swapped it out and put the Greenback in a closed back speaker cab and run them together and it's AMAZING!!!!!!!
    I run a Les Paul trough it most the time run the Master at full and turn the volume to taste.
    Great Video!!!

  • @knizek4

    I prefer the blue in the room but both sounded good recorded. Have used the C1X for the last few years, gigs/rehearsal/studio, it's fantastic. Typically I use the normal channel..... less knobs. Great comparison video!

  • @mikeprzychocki5770
    @mikeprzychocki5770 Год назад +5

    Great demo!
    The difference seems slight, & they both sound great, but I preferred the blue. I'm sure It was more apparent in the room.
    Now it has me curious what it would sound like with the back open like a Fender compared to closed.
    You made a great choice In the guitar used to demonstrate the differences in the dynamics, but I am also a little curious what the others would have sounded in the comparison.
    Great amp & great demo!

  • @carlweiderick

  • @davidbarlow431
    @davidbarlow431 Год назад +5

    I've a slight preference for the blue but I've still got the greenback in mine. TBH the difference isn't enough to make me want to pony up the cash for the "upgrade". I do keep toying with the idea of buying a cheap HB 1X12 cab, junk the speaker, put the greenback in it, a blue in the Vox and then have a decent 1X12 cab that I can play around with some lunchbox type amps with.

  • @stevep7657
    @stevep7657 5 месяцев назад

    Nice videos, thanks. Having use these amps mostly for gigging, I think both speakers are good in their own way tonally, but on stage with a band, and tuning it up a little louder, the Celestion blue speaker really stands up- I just hear it better.

    VOX is home base. I have an AC15C1 stock Greenback and a Pathfinder 15.
    I also love my Laney VC30 amps. VOX AC3O inspired, i have a 112 clone with a 70/80 style stock speaker (just ok) and my favorite amp, a mid-2000s Laney VC30 210 with two Jensen 10" speakers that were designed for that model. Wonderful workhorse of an amp, takes every pedal I've ever thrown at it.

    • @allatsea2746
      @allatsea2746 Год назад

      The Laney VC line is great. And you can get them (used of course) for next to nothing nowadays; even the British made ones. I myself have an early Lionheart 5W Combo (with an Eminence GA-SC64) for recording and a Laney GH30R for live use. As you said: wonderful workhorses and pedal platforms. And the 2nd channel on my 2 Laneys can sound VERY close to a JTM45/Bluesbreaker without the need for a powersoak.

  • @geschickt
    @geschickt Год назад

    Thank you! Love this vid & dig your sense of humor too! I sort of surprised myself being able to recognize the G-12 M vs. the Blue (probably due to owning a '70-'71 Marshall 4x12 w/ original Thames-Ditton greenbacks). So in your test, I think "A" just sounded familiar(!); that characteristic flat-yet-midrange-y EQ. The Blue's reveal more top and emphasize the upper mids in a cool way--I suppose that's what makes them airier, more open sounding--and of course guitar friendly! Tele's + AC-15's/AC-30's is an incredibly versatile foundation for tons of great tones. Well done LB.

      This is my default use of tremolo too, it should be more apparent when it's turned off than when it's turned on if that makes sense. Kind of like reverb, you shouldn't really be thinking about it when it's there, but when it's gone you'll notice.

    I picked up an AC15 head a couple of weeks ago. One of my two holy grail amps. The other is a Fender Princeton Reverb, which I picked up a couple of months ago. (It’s been a hell of year, and I’m indulging myself a bit)
    I haven’t been able to play through the AC15 yet, for lack of a speaker cab. But I do have a Celestion 12” Goldback that I found on side of the highway a while back, next to its smashed cabinet and twin brother. I’m going to build a cabinet for the Goldback, plug the AC15 head into it, and make some noise. 😁

    The first Marshall Major that Jim Marshall built for Ritchie Blackmore, was actually Ritchie Blackmore's AC30 Pre-Amp, put into a Marshall enclosure with a 150 watt Marshall power stage.

    I'm a Vox fanatic (ac15c1 my favorite) and always bought a blue to run in a speaker cabinet in stereo with the amp's green speaker. It's the only clean sound that can top a Roland Jazz Chorus. I always knew the green had the edge for distorted tones (but not night and day) but in YOUR test I was surprised to find I liked the tone of the green for cleans. That said, it's a) not a fair test when the speakers aren't broken in, since they're not in their "prime" out of the box which means their tonal character is very different, and b) my FAVORITE Vox tone is with a strat in the 4 position (neck/mid pup together) and that's the benchmark I use in gauging clean Vox tones because nothing brings out that patented Vox chime quite like it. Another variable are the tubes which greatly affect tone. I have a nice collection of NOS tubes from the 50s/60s/70s that really change everything. In my tests, the green can't touch the blue in cleans. I also switched that reverb tank out fast, didn't care for it. Still though I found your out of the box test interesting, thanks for taking the time to do it. (PS: I'm listening on 8 inch M-Audio studio monitors)

    When I had my 2000 AC30/6 TB '64 reissue, it had both one greenback and a blue alnico in it. Best of both worlds?

  • @brownhbluee
    @brownhbluee 7 месяцев назад

    the blue seams rounder and maybe more depth. I have the green backs and while some my roll there eyes, I crank the reverb to 3 o clock and push the bass past the tremble. I also have been using a slit adaptor so I can jump the channels and I dig it.

    I own 3 Vox amps. An AD60 VT modelling amp. Which is a fantastic little amp. A mini Super beetle, brilliant for home recording and an AC30 CC2X, my favourite but just too much amp for my home studio. Would love a British 60’s AC30, probably never happen, but I’m Vox through and through. I prefer the the AC15 with the blue, but both sound awesome.

    • @darwinsaye
      @darwinsaye Год назад +2

      Look for a 1994 -2000 AC30/6 TB. It was the closest reissue to 1964 specs at the time, and was made at the Marshall factory in the UK.

  • @danepaulstewart8464
    @danepaulstewart8464 Год назад +1

    The VOX AC30 and the AC15 are LEGENDS up there with Marshall PLEXIs, Fender Bassmen and Princetons, Mesa Boogies, Roland Jazz Chorus, and 5150s.
    So much so that the AC30 is included in pretty much every guitar amp modeling pedal made!
    Personally, I wouldn’t say I like the AC30 tone, I’d say I love it! Like can’t imagine playing without it.
    I didn’t even realize until just now, but currently I only own VOX amps. No JC120 or Twin Reverb or anything. Weird.

    When listening in headphones I preferred the tone of speaker A. I used to have a 4x12 Marshall cabinet with greens, but I was expecting it to be the sound of the blue. So I guess I'm a little happy that the ones I liked are the one I am looking to repurchase again. Cheers.

    I preferred the Green. It had a little more chime clean. Dirty the Green seemed a little tighter also. I had Vox tube amp. But the Blue upgrade does not sound better to me. On the other hand, my guitar is very bright, so the Blue might sound better in person.

    Greenback (ceramic) sounded like what I expect from a VOX (it's stock) compared to the Blue (Alnico) which has a brasher tone. I can see both being a good choice depending on the band. Meanwhile how's the tube supply lately, are replacement tubes even available?

    I have a 15 Watts valve carlsboro classic, I took the green back out and replaced it with a celestion blue. I prefer the vintage tones using alnico speakers. It had a marked difference especially using my sub zero bass vi, more mellow, you feel the bass as well as hear it. It's less of a job than the on the vox amp

    I have an AC15C1 with a Greenback. I couldn’t make up my kind between them so I bought it with the intention of buying a Celestion Alnico Blue and adding some connectors to the speaker cable so I could switch between them easily. In the end I never get the need.
    What I would like is a 1x12 speaker cab in the AC with an Alnico Blue in it. Can’t figure out why Vox don’t seem to have them for sale.

    That's so beautiful. Love Vox amps, though I own none other than a couple minis, bass and guitar. Good mini amps but no real Vox top-boosted sound on the guitar amp (one's a mini bass amp.) Love the older Tom Petty stuff where Mike Campbell's rocking Vox amps.

  • @M5guitar1
    @M5guitar1 Год назад

    I have gigged with a Vox AC15 c1 for about 10 years before my band brokeup. It's a great amp. Indoors it's perfect, outdoors it breaks up but it sounds great even though it won't play clean on outdoor stage. My neighbor slammed her kitchen window shut when I had it cranked playing LedZep and the Who won't get fooled again. I swapped the reverb tank and put JJ tubes. I have greenback stock. I have a bunch of live gigs with that amp on my channel. It sounds better crunch tones than my Mesa Lonestar. It's louder than my Fender Champ head. Great amp overall.

  • @darwinsaye

    I always found the EQ took some getting used to. You didn't mention it, but the bass and treble are weirdly interactive, for instance if you turn the treble up, it actually cuts the bass, as you could hear in your demo.
