My first time with a real Vox amp...

Disclaimer- I love many guitar players and the tones created over the years on Vox amps. But I swear every time I play one, that brand hates my guts. Now, when I say "every time I play one" I mean some modeler, or plug in version. A rube like me doesn't get a chance to play fancy import brands like Vox very often. So yeah, I wanted to try a "real" Vox and I've got the best friends in the world over at zZounds.com, who have no problem sending me this not at all new VOX AC10 in order to make a video that will only get a couple hundred views. Life is good.
Will I hate this amp the way I expect to?
Have a great weekend and "Celebrate Mediocrity" with me!

While I have and love my Bronco White Vox AC-10, it is not really an accurate representation of say an AC-15 loaded with blues. The distinctive "Vox chime" thing isn't really happening with the AC-10. It is great at giving really nice sounding dirt at bedroom levels and is my go to amp when the wife is in the house.

The 15 is my next Vox victim
 
I've had a few versions of the VC30 and love them. Cranked up, they get crunchy in the ball park of a master volume Marshall (ie, 2204) and just love an SD-1 to push it over the edge into an old school high gain.

I tended to turn both the bass and treble controls rather low, to keep the tone getting really scooped.
