Members dave_incubus Posted December 29, 2007 Members Share Posted December 29, 2007 Which amp do you guys think has a better clean/"drive the tubes" sound, the Vox AC 30 or the Fender Hot Rod? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tsunamijesus Posted December 29, 2007 Members Share Posted December 29, 2007 ac30 by miles and miles. the hot rod is a good amp but the ac30 is the BEST amp for what you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tsunamijesus Posted December 29, 2007 Members Share Posted December 29, 2007 well the bassman aint to shabby for it either haha Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members dave_incubus Posted December 29, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 29, 2007 I played a tele through a bassman once, it was so nice. But I think it was mainly because the two both are being fender -not sure why I think that-.. But I play Ibanez so yeah.. I hate C Necks on Fender guitars, I think the wizard necks on ibanez' are the best in the world - so easy to play. I think I like the AC30 better too (I havn't played through one before though), its just that i played through a fender blues junior once ("hot rod junior") and it sounded nice too..

Members Locky Posted December 29, 2007 Members Share Posted December 29, 2007 AC30 definately has nicer cleans to my ear, and the best reverb. The gain tones are quite different. The AC30 will have a much nicer feel to it though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Locky Posted December 29, 2007 Members Share Posted December 29, 2007 nice rig by the way locky Thanks dude. I dont think anyone has ever complimented my rig before. A fullout AC30 is very STP. If you run an AC30 right on the border of tube breakup, then use a pedal to slam the frontend, you get some amazing tones. Think Plush by STP.

Members Herald of Light Posted December 29, 2007 Members Share Posted December 29, 2007 Comparing an AC30 to a Hot Rod of any sort isn't really very fair. You'd have to look to the higher end Fenders for a more appropriate comparison. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members dave_incubus Posted December 29, 2007 Author Members Share Posted December 29, 2007 really, aha how embarasing.. why is that? I heard many people say it's good. I get though, AC 30 wins, i think that's the moral of the story Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tsunamijesus Posted December 29, 2007 Members Share Posted December 29, 2007 the super twin is just lame sounding. the twin reverb, on the other hand, kicks ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I get though, AC 30 wins, i think that's the moral of the story They're different amps, as even different Fenders are different amps. Though I'd personally take an AC15/30 over any Fender I can think of, I've seen a lot more Fenders than Voxs in use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
