The 2 × 12AX7, 2 × EL84 valves will make sure you’re good to go with great tone at all times and provide the power you want when you need it.
The VOX AC10C1 features the legendary VOX top boost sound meaning you get that awesome VOX tone through a 10w amplifier.

The VoxAc10 can still blow your windows down.
Love it. Bought it. Watched the full comparison video this one was taken from as well to help make my decision. I have gone from a crap old modeling amp to this one. Man the difference is phenomenal. Thanks for the great review videos.
My next amp. Just need to sell two. LOVE the chiminess and the creaminess. Vox is LOVE.
A Vox AC10 is only a home amp if you live in an isolated farmhouse.
Haha. Love it.
HAHAHAHAHAAH
hahahahaha
Yeah no doubt.😂 it’s LOUD
Is it that loud?
I almost bought one of the AC10s. After trying out the AC30, AC15, AC15VR, AC10, AV30 and AV60, I actually bought the AV60. I just thought it gave me the best of all worlds, awesome cleans, great crunch, great overdrive sounds, plenty of volume and a lot of versatility. I find it plays and reacts like a 100% tube amp.
Main reason I went for it was the fact it is 2 channel and you can set either channel up as you want. Unlike some where you have 1 clean and 1 dirty, or only certain controls on certain channels.
Loving it so far and would highly recommend trying one out. They are well priced at the moment too.
You probably did the right thing, I've just bought the AC10 and it's too loud for home use plus it hates all my drive pedals, it's not very versatile, you need a good reason to buy one, I'm thinking of sending mine back
Ever since I saw the wall of death Quo used to have (20 AC30s) on stage I always wanted an AC30 but then I saw the price... so glad to have these baby versions.
I went out and bought this right after watching this video 2 years ago best amp I have ever owned I popped it into the vix 212 and it sounds great
Nice demo ! I own this amp great sound i play at home, on little Gigs and big stage with a two twelve cab ! Great sounding
Great demo I've just got a used ac10cc1 it's truly one of the best sounding amps I've owed
Beatles and that!
I laughed hard.
haha!
@@PMTVUK please can you tell me how to maintain a tube amp. I want to buy one but I am listening from everyone that it is unsafe
One of my fav Dagan videos! Ive owned this amp 2 times over the last few years. Now I have a Waza tube expander and I can plug this AC10 into any speaker I want, of any rating over 4ohms, and can still attenuate (love the TAE- pricey but solves a lot of problems). Greenback? Sure. And I can use IR's, too. Celestion Gold? You bet. Eminence/Jensen whatever? No problem.
I always come back to this amp. Its small, but loud! I did replace the speaker to a Celestion 10" G10 Greenback. What a HUGE difference. Sounds more like a 12 inch speaker. Seems to have gotten even louder haha. I replaced the tubes too, cause the original ones went out.
Update: I put a creamback in it and it truly rips now.
Saw a comparison… slightly louder and hissing… not a recommended upgrade!
@@zeroceiling must’ve been the comparison because I do NOT have ANY hissing. So yes, it’s a great upgrade. Except now I put a creamback in it.
Jeremy Leech …I heard that cream backs are a good step…. green backs not so much.
@@zeroceiling I definitely prefer the creamback for sure.
Jeremy Leech that’s what everyone who has done is says!!
This amp is no joke I can use it in the studio for everything from Mayer, pink Floyd, and country, to death metal with a boost in front on drop A
I kid you not
My first amp was a Vox and I lost it a couple of years ago 😂 still have no idea how
Have you checked under the couch? :) - Lee
I've lost 2 cars
Played a VT40 at my friends house and sold my blackstar and Marshall and buying this bad boy in a few days. Seems worth $450 to me.
Just got one of these at the weekend from the Portsmouth PMT branch, customer service was as great as ever.
WHY IN THE HELL DOES VOX NOT MAKE A HAND WIRED VERSION OF THIS AMP....CRAZY!!
They do
For the price difference I don't think vox hand wired versions are that's much better
Is this too loud for home playing ? I'm thinking of buying one and maybe a Power Attenuator.
Dig your style. Keep rockin
Does this Vox truly work at lower bedroom volumes? I'm looking for an amp that can do really low apartment-level volume and still could potentially be used for jamming and small gigs (the holy grail?). Happy to use pedals as I understand getting amp breakup would have me instantly evicted.
Hi Chris, this is definitely a great option for your apartment, as you can get a great sound at lower volumes. For smaller gigs, this is a great option as you can get some nice sounds out of it when cranked and mic'd up. -Lee
Yes! It does it amazingly. I've always fucked with small tube amps and never even gone as high as 10 watts. And usually used 5 Watt amps or some that had attenuators. I had a version the Actv4 that you could get 1/4 watt outta it and it was one of the better versions but this thing is fabulous at low volumes. Just make hairline movements with the gain and volume knobs and you can dial in fat tones at bedroom levels. Real deal. When I was at motor City guitar I kept playing a bunch of amplifiers that I could not afford like dr. Z's and other hand wired masterpieces. Then I plugged in to my AC10c1 limited edition white bronco(same amp different color) and was blown away. Got a great price and fantastic amp that sounds great at normal levels but like I said it holds that tone at very low levels. Worth every cent and a few tweaks and mods and it can be as good as any high end boutique amp.
Are you Russel Brand?
F.F.S. *NO* he isn't...
I look for new laney súper 12 or vox ac10 ac15. Whats sound better for you?
between this and marshall dsl5cr which one would you buy?
My ac4 was too loud for any apartment. That includes Baghdad
Can I achieve Brian May sound using Treble Booster and this Vox ac10?
How do you compare the sound of Queen to Status Quo?
One Vision!
Does it take pedals well, specifically od and fuzz?
late response but yes tube amps typically take pedals very well
Hi does anyone on this channel own this amp? Is it true that its difficult to get a purely clean tone on this amp. If im wrong what are the settings on the amp that you use to achieve it? Ive been wanting to buy this but im having an issue with getting a clean sound on it. Also if anyone can recommend a simiilar tube amp in price that helps me achieve really good clean tones?
Thanks
Joshua Thomas try Fender hot Rod blues III
What did you end up getting?
@@craig.encinitas haha you’d be shocked . I bought a strymon iridium amp modeler pedal
@@joshthomas6219 That’s awesome.
I’m a newbie to guitars and the choices are beyond overwhelming. I mainly play with headphones and my gear plugged into a Line 6 Pod Go. Still looking for a small tube amp!
@@craig.encinitas the fender blues jr is your best bet :) it’s very satisfying and will be a good companion for practice and small intimate gigs . It takes overdrive and effects pedals very well .
I think this might be the only review of an amp, guitar or other (Other?) where I've heard Status Quo. Nice.
Cool!!!
Ac10 for home or apartment use, never..its far too loud
Too loud while playing at home. Will a volume pedal work as a solution?
Or a Power attenuator maybe ?
You need to run your video audio through a lo-pass filter, I'm getting some 20kHz squeaks!!
Can i get a nice clean with it at high volumes?
Sebastián Ibáñez hmm............not quite. It’s basically the Top Boost channel only..................if it could be modded to a Normal channel, then YES! 😊👍
This or a Fender Champion. I need an amp I can practice at home with in the bedroom but one I can also use for practicing with a drummer (if ever get out of lockdown again). I most play sixties inspired stuff, especially the Beatles and the Kinks, but I also like 90s british bands like Teenage Fanclub.
this
Can you play classic Metal and modern Metal with this amp
This is probably not the best amp for Modern, high gain metal on its own. However, if you use a heavy distortion pedal with it, the amp will respond nicely.
@@PMTVUK I have a van halen 5150 overdrive pedal
Is this loud enough to gig with?
Azzi Guitar thank you so much i’m deciding wether to get this ac10 or the fender blues junior, i just want a small tube amp that i can gig with without having to kill my back
could you use this for metal?
Scott McNeil I can only speak for the AC30 that I own, but the AC10 seems to be in the ballpark, and for me using an EVH 5150 Overdrive I get some awesome Hard Rock pushing to metal tones. Obviously not the full on gainy sounds of bands like maybe Killswitch or Lamb of God, but you can play metal with a more vintage tone that will make you sound different, which to me honestly makes the sound more unique than what most metal bands are currently using.
12 fucking Les Pauls on the wall and he plays a Strat... Who the fuck is this guy?
Status Quo Whatever you want!!!!
2:41 What's that song again?
One Vision
This or save a bit for the ac15
No return & send thats a no go. And u cannot change the speaker. And to change the valves u need to take all apart. And the valves are write next to the speaker. Lot of flours
2:07 ??
crack.
great cheap amp...and loud as my MOTHA IN LAWWWWWW
Have alook at other people who demo this amp. There are many floors.its just a poor copy of the original
This thing is so creamy. Damn !
There are many floors with this unit.these people on RUclips are dishonest.
I m thinkn of buying..can u pls explain further
still pretty loud for a “10 watt”
Almost as annoying as Phil x but the accent pushes it......
The stock tubes are terrible. Change them right off the bat, you’ll be glad you did.
No. You just have to give them time to live, just like any tube amp, it takes hours to break them in. You are wasting money and giving bad advices.
