+Ilan Amoyal hahaha! Good to hear that :-)
That has to be one of the BEST amps I've ever heard... Great playing as always Johan
+Guitar5986 Thanks! Im really glad to hear it! I loved it too
I feel that this design deserves a second chance. What do you think, should Vox reissue this?
Cameron Jenkins they seem to ignore these things, but we didn’t... www.henryamps.com/srt
Distortion93 the UL710 is all tube and nearly identical to the SRT... www.voxshowroom.com/uk/amp/710.html
I’d rather that they remake the UL series of guitar/ bass amp.
Yes
That tone at 1:26, man. It just doesn't get much better than that!
I agree completely! Once again Johan you've outdone yourself finding a hidden Gem!
+Tim Brannen Thanks Tim, yeah I loved this amp!
I agree. It's great for everything from rhythm playing throughout lead to bottleneck tone... Simply awesome!
Chimes like a bell and great balance ....but the cords are just stunning - A joy to hear a 1965 Vox Thanks Johan
Bought a new Vox AC15 today. After messing around with it for a few hours, came on RUclips to check out some tones that other people are getting. This vid popped up, and now I've spent as much time checking out Johan as I have my new amp. Your a true inspiration Johan, love your playing, and love your vids. Thanks!
Wow, what a beautiful sounding amp! And really nice playing, Johan.
+Dave Kaplowitz Thanks Dave, great to hear that!
This got to be one of the best sounding amplifiers I have ever heard!
That is one of the best rhythm crunch sounds I have heard. So crispy and rich.
Awesome to hear a Vox without playing Brian May ! ;-D Nails that early Rolling stones 60s sound ! Great !
So much liveliness to impale a modeling amp on. Seriously cool and not so loud that ballistic headphones are required.
Excellent job as always Johan! Love what you do!!
+Noeffnwaypal Thanks, I appreciate it!
That clean tone is very nice with this combination...and just the right amount drive from it too. Another great demo - cheers!
Wow that amp is sweet and gets nasty too. The saturation is just perfect! Best vox I've ever heard.
I could die and go to heaven and not hear Angels sing so sweetly!
+Sam Fosdick Thanks Sam! :-) Great to hear that!
What is tube configuration?
+Sam Fosdick it's got 2 EL84s and an EZ81 rectifier
The real deal :)
one guitar , one amp , thats all ! VOX for ever , Nice playing Johan ! Vraiment génial , j'adore
+steph C Thanks! Glad you like it!
Every amp shines with your playing. Excellent playing. Regards.
The Doug And Pat show would approve. 👍
Wak Job Greatest amp ever according to them! ruclips.net/video/alBO_yEn5o4/видео.html
That’s why we made our SRT+! D&P helped tremendously... www.henryamps.com/srt
Except for vids like yours, I don't have much experience listening to vintage gear. I do know, of the modern Vox amps, I like the AC10 the best. And this thing sounds friggin amazing.
What a dreamy tone!
Change title to one of the best amps ever. Beautiful sound there.
That is the best amp sound I've heard, ever!
+Mike S I was really impressed by this amp too. Cheers Mike!
I think Vox 's are the best tube amps, they have an irresistible punch. I plan on getting an AC15 soon.
+Comic Lover Yeah a punchy yet fat tone
Johan Segeborn Exactly i love it. I'd choose a Vox over any other amp to be honest. Nice job as always Johan.
+Comic Lover Thanks!
I have always loved the way Vox amps sound. Between you and That Pedal Show, I find myself craving to get an AC30 and an AC4. Great video Johan!
3:26 Oh Lord, this is such a sweet tone
+lptomtom Glad to hear that! Thanks!
Johan Segeborn Was the riff you played at 3:26 from a song? Can you name it?
Awesome sounding amp!
@@nmfaa92 I'm dying to know the origin of that riff. Do you know in which of his other videos does Johan play it? TIA
You seem very inspired by this amp in particular, so many wonderful riffs in this video. This amp sounds unlike any other (even all the magnificent amps tested on your channel). With the very organic tremolo, breakup and chime, it really sounds like it is somehow alive and breathing ! The sustain is gorgeous, it really sounds like someone singing or whispering at times.
You Sir have a supreme collection of great gear, and I can't think of a better ambassador of such equipment. You bring out the best potential in everything you touch. Keep the videos coming.
Really great sounds!!! Really great playing, as always!!! Thanks, Johan!
+Blues Bengan Thanks man, glad you liked it!
Love the tone from this old vintage Vox. It really can do it all . Johan you are a very lucky/skilled man . 😊
Wow this sounds great!
+Marcel Belanger Thanks Marcel!
You do great demos. You really run through
what the amps do. Thank you
Unique sounding to me. Not bad, just different. I'm always checking out 65 amps because I was born in that year. Tks for posting Johan. Wishing you a great day. Yep, as I listen further, it is a great amp.
Thanks man!
Love Vox .The Vox amps you display sound so great
Great sound Johan. Smoooth crunch!!! That amp is a year older than I am.
I just picked up a V1 (tube) Pathfinder, the American counterpart to the UL705. Combined with replacing the bridge P-90 in my 2018-spec Les Paul Classic with a mini-humbucker (and going from this demo of my amp's big brother), I have finally captured the jangle I have chased for so long.
The 710 was the only all valve "super-twin" model (separate amp and cab) in the 7 series. The others had valve power sections, but solid state preamps.
Cabs at first had tilt-back side stands, the amp being secured to the top with a tongue and bracket assembly, later used for the Conqueror and Defiant. Later cabs had in effect 715 trolleys with parallel bars across the top on which the amp could sit.
Drivers were 10" Celestion T7442s, 15ohms, rated at 10 watts each, wired in parallel for a total impedance of 8ohms.

Does UL stand for ultra linear? That would explain is cleaner less compressed and distorted sound. UL would have the screen of the EL84 @ pin #9 connected directly to transformer taps and not thru resistors to B+ voltage.
One of the better amps I've heard in a while. Nice demo Johan!
Nothing beats an old vox the way they chime the way they compress and sparkle when overdriven seems to add sustain
Heavenly
Thanks!
AC10 srt is my grail, this pup is close. I’ve only seen 1 AC10 head in person / never seen one of these. Great find, has the Vox thing for sure! Thx Johan that was a treat!
To be honest I think these are the amps that Vox should be reissued to the public.
That amp has a sweet clean sound, the best i ever heard
That is the best Tremolo I have ever heard
Always discovering new vintage gems through you my man
+silver Thanks my friend!
The vox AC10 is such an under-rated amp. This version sounds amazing. Thanks Johan:)
Nothing wrong with that,very nice. Perfect riffs to demonstrate it's lovely tones.
+Mark B Thanks Mark, good to hear that!
Keep it up Johan, love your content and your playing!
+Pabloloco Thanks, I’m so glad to hear that!
Great sound, great playing, and perfectly captured!
Great demo and great playing! Everyone here praises the amp and it's beautiful sounds, but no-one says a word about the pair of G12S20 speakers. I've got the exact same pair and they sound fabulous, there's a kind of an 'instant vintage' vibe to them. More so than other vintage Celestions I own. Very underrated for no reason at all:
Some of your best playing 😎
Just found this little gem. So incredible!!
+HF1600ie Thanks!
Wow! That’s soooooo good!
Nice playing and what a sweet Tone! Awesome Thanks Johan!!
+Jim James Thanks Jim! I’m glad to hear that!
Well Done JS!
+Glenn Hagen Thanks man! :-)
What an amazing amp!
+Don Smith Thanks!
What a Great Amp!!! I can't imagine them only building 49 of this killer head!!! It's got a Killer Hot Rolling Stones type tone!!! Very Kewl!!!
1:38 sweet sound ;) 40k subscribers soon, congratulation !
+Max Max Thanks Max! :-)
Lovely classic vox
Thanks Paul
As great as you make this sound, I don't doubt that under lesser fingertips, it wouldn't sound as crisp, reactive and welcoming.
But yeah, yet again, you've enlightened us to another amp we probably can't afford. lol
Keep up the great work with the axe related porn!
+Paul Sweeney Hahaha! ;-) Thanks Paul!
Nice performance and a really cute performing little device. At 3:00 iyou sounded very like Steve Hackett :-) Keep on rocking
+Huey Eagle Thanks Huey! That’s a really nice compliment.
Extraordinary sounding amplifier, a real stand out. I didn't hear any bad notes, great breadth and balance, the Les Paul agreed with it. I can't say I've heard that guitar sound any better. I may be prejudiced just a bit I used to play a Vox V125 and AC15 (two tens in the 15w combo) I used Fane speakers in my Vox amps. It would interesting to hear this combo in context of a complete song (or two) and band. Thanks for this one Johan.
I like it very much. Great tone. Thank you for your awesome youtube channel. The first thing i do when going online is to check out your posts ;)
I think that's one of the best sounding amps yet on this channel. I think I may be a Vox guy as much as a Marshall guy to be honest, yet I don't own one yet. Have to change that.
fantastic sounding amp......great playing as usual....
+rcolang1 Thanks! :-)
Thanks! Awesome amp and great tones!
beautifull tone,unique .beatles sgt pepper and revolver sound an hibrid ,tube amp and transistor pre.
Lovely little amp. Cool playing.
+simmy john Thanks John, glad to hear that!
Your videos are really great,
Thank you for making such great content
Sounds so great... thanks to you, though! :D Awesome video as always! Thanks so much Johan! Cheers.
As alway yohan, great demo.
I don't really understand why vox didn't make more of the ac10. Everyone i have heard sounds amazing. I have a hard time believing it wasn't a good selling product. Perfect size for recording and a shining example of what vox tone really is.
+John Emery Thanks John, yeah it's the perfect recording amp!
Low wattage amps were not popular at that time during those days it's was bigger and louder was better hence the reason why the ac10 was not a popular amp
TheGman858 For live use you're completely right. That's why they did the ac30 and 50 when they realised that 15 Watts wasn't enough even with the PA systems of the times. Although studio work is another matter, the champ was one of the most recorded amps at the time after all
Beautiful sound......!!!!!!
I have a 70's Princeton and thats one the nearest other amps I've liked the sound of. sounds warm and chimey on my tablet.
Amazing sounds
great sound and super fun feet moves lol
Vox Heaven!
Awesome sounds!
My favorite Segeborn-clip. Wonderful tone and playing! "Light and shade. It's all about dynamics" as Jimmy Page said in the film It might get loud. Thank you for not cranking 😁
From the first strum! I like a man smart enough to realize tremolo is the bomb!
+trevor deke bajus Cheers Trevor! Yeah this one had an amazing Tremolo!
How different is this from a vintage AC10?
sounded like "Bread" for a minute there... nice!!
+Robert arthur Thanks man, so good to hear that!
Has anyone ever built a clone of this amp? How does it differ from the AC10? Why only 49 units? You, and it, sound fantastic, as usual!
+David Woods Thanks David! I dont know. Im gonna compare the schematics.
Johan Segeborn
I think it is quite. Similar to the vox ac10 srt www.voxshowroom.com/uk/amp/ac10srt.html
Which is quite different to the normal ac10 schematic and layout
Worth looking into
Let's go!
Johan do you have the schematic? I can't find it. "UL" is either Underwriters Laboratory or Ultra-Linear. The way to tell is if pin 9 on the EL84 is connected to a transformer taps rather than screen resistors and on to the B+ voltage rail, then it would be ultra-linear which is somewhere between sounding pentode and sounding triode. But I really find that hard to believe that they would go that route this early in the mid 60s. Has to be Underwriter Lab I would guess.
.
Totally different than AC 10. Hybrid circuit: solid state preamp and tube power amp. The UL710 is the same amp than UL715, marketed with another name for some reasons.
The solid state preamp design/idea came from Thomas Organ/Vox, the american 'sister company' of the english JMI/Vox under Royston ownership (the beginning of the end for Vox...)
(source: www.voxshowroom.com/uk/amp/715.html)
ant Sor
The UL 705 and UL 710 are the only all valve amplifiers from the 700 series line and were a jmi not Thomas organ product
The UL 705 was a revision of the old ac4
And the UL 710 was a revision of the Ac10srt head
And has 3 ecc83s in the pre and 2 el84s in the power section
Wow. In clean mode this amp sounds killer. Best sound I've ever heard. But I don't really like the distortion mode...
Great video!;)
+Dazed Thanks, great to hear that!
Wow! My favorite Vox series! The Beatles used 730\7120 amps for Revolver and the last tours in 1966, great amps! Try it with a Silver Alnico and you'll be in heaven! :)
For those of you who don't know, these are SOLID STATE preamps with valve power amps!
+mrkite89 Yeah, I’d love to try a 7120
legendary
Love the riff around 3:18 nice
holy shit that sounds amazing!
+Krister Kjørholt Thanks Krister!
Classic tones! \m/
+cliveclive54 Thanks! :-)
EXTASY SOUND !!!
Another Dandy !!!!\m/!!!! Sounds more open less compressed than the AC10's Ive listened to..
I LOVE THIS GUY!!!!!!!!!!!!
wooooow unexpected smothness almost like an american amp..i love it.. the 3dimentionality of the tone it remonds me a old sunn tube amp.
Nice!
Yeah, that amp has it's own cool vibe and aura. The tremelo and reverb sound smooth with vintage sweetness.
Check out our host's spontaneous, inspired, foot tapping around the 10:56 mark.
Pretty sounding amp! I like it (were it not so rare) Beautiful chime
+O Magoo Thanks! Yeah all those UL amps are pretty rare
Wow this sounds beautiful, very cool little amp. I wonder how champ like this would sound through an 8" speaker
+whiskeyboy Thanks!
Not sure where to post this so tried here. Hi Johan, You have a great channel and you seem to be answering a lot of questions on the quest for better tone. But here’s one that comes up time and again on guitar forums, How to get a solo boost from a single channel amp with no fx loop, eg a JCM 800 2204. In a one guitar band this isn’t usually a problem but with two guitarists the problems start.
I have had pretty good results by setting the amp at solo volume (LOUD) and backing off my guitar volume for rhythm so I can push it up for solos from the guitar volume. This is fine for blues rock and some seventies rock but I find you can’t get a really crunchy rhythm like Guns n Roses, or 80’s rock. If you could do some kind of sound comparison on this topic I think you would make a lot of people happy, and save them a lot of money buying endless pedals.
All the best.
Julian
The EL84 power tubes have a really pretty breakup. I’ve always wondered why, technically, they have that signature distortion. Perhaps that is the sound of a power tube distorting without tormenting the speaker. Great sounds here.
Awesome amp and awesome video Johan! Have you checked out the AC10 SRT? I saw it on the Doug and Pat video and the sound blows me away! Apparently Henry amps makes a clone of it called the SRT+. Would love to see you review that as well.
Whoa that amp sounds like it would be great for inndie 🎸
Tone at 5:30 is beautiful
Hi Johan! Is the riff that you're playing @ 3:26-3:45 your own "creation" or is it from an actual song? It's freaking awesome, probably my all-time favourite riff of yours 🤘
Another GREAT demo!! Thank you. Would you say this is close to the vintage AC10 that you demo'd?
