Members RUExp? Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 Sweetwater is the only place I've seen it so far. I don't think they have a release date though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Blakemore Effects Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 Yeah, I'm loving that AC4. I think I'll definitely sell my Blackheart for one, but I haven't heard much at all about them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bill Cosby Posted February 16, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 Does the AC4 have the same tones as the AC30, like the jangly cleans and the great british drive? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members sethlover Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 Does the AC4 have the same tones as the AC30, like the jangly cleans and the great british drive?Most likely the same jangle and drive of the Epi Valve Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bill Cosby Posted February 16, 2009 Author Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 Most likely the same jangle and drive of the Epi Valve Jr. nah i doubt it.I mean it has a tone knob, and selectable wattage, so i doubt it would be exactly like the epi valve. I'm sure vox put their signature stuff in it. ya dig? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure vox put their signature stuff in it. ya dig? I would bet my left nut it's a Champ amp with a EL84 (Epi Valve Jr.) and a tone control. Aka a tweed Princeton with an EL84 and a couple of mods. My friend just picked up basically the same thing, a brand new Epi Valve Jr. for a $100. Vox could not put their signature stuff in there. The AC30 is a push pull class A/B amp for starters and this is a class A single end amp. Not to mention the way the AC30 is eq'd, the cab and the speaker (size too). Plus waaaaaaay more headroom out of a AC30 or even a AC15 for that matter. Don't convince yourself you're going to save a ton of money and be getting a mini AC30 out of this. You'll be getting a tweed Princeton with an EL84 in the output. Pretty cool in it's own right but far from being a mini AC15 or AC30 or vs. vs..

Members tb_308 Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 I might have to pick up one of these little beasts... maybe the combo.. I just checked an online store and it said February 25, 2009... I'll have to consider what to get rid of for it... although, for $250, I'd be willing to just add another amp to my room Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I guess just use this thread for finding out and distributing information. I nearly got an AC15 before X-Mass to run in stereo with my BJr. But i am going to wait for this little bugger and see how she sounds in my hand, with my SG, into a Marshall 1960 cab. So far the Utoob clips sounds ok, for what it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members sethlover Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uw9xW3SWqqM&feature=related Not to be a troll or rain on anyone's parade (more a tough love thing) but... In the video you'll notice there's not a huge difference in volume perception between 1 and 4 watts with a flick of a switch. Also he seems to skip over demoing the 1/4 watt mode. Probably not that great sounding in 1/4 watt mode? You will notice a big difference with the output capabilities of these Champ/Princeton amps having more volume/headroom plugging these into larger cabinets like a 2x12" or a 4x12". Sadly the only output you get with the Vox is a 16 ohm for matching up cabinets. When was the last time you saw a cab wired up for 16 ohm? Running a 8 ohm cab into this is only going to give you more breakup. The point is have more volume/headroom not less. The Epi Valve Jr. has 4, 8, 16 ohm outputs. And from that video sound almost the same. I'll go back to Trollville, sorry about that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members SirJackdeFuzz Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uw9xW3SWqqM&feature=related Hey, that is Garage Rock right there That little Vox with a Dano '59, or 2xpu Gibbo MM :evil: EDIT : Just thought about it ! This little head into a custom made (by myself) cab with two Copperhead 10inch drivers would be a fantastic recording rig ! http://www.eminence.com/soundclips.asp - very top speaker http://www.eminence.com/guitar_speaker_detail.asp?model=THECOPPERHEAD&speaker_size=10&SUB_CAT_ID=4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In no way am i looking to get a Mini AC30, im just looking to get a small practice amp for college and a mini stereo rig going, maybe even for recording. I would be playing my strat/tele through it riding my volume knob for drive as needed. I just want some good British drive and to try out the vox line of amps. I've never even played a vox before.

Members sethlover Posted February 16, 2009 Members Share Posted February 16, 2009 haha wut? All i've ever played is Fender amps. Fender = American Vox = British correct? This Vox and most are made in China (are all these days?). What I meant by that is with it most likely being a tweed Princeton (tweed Champ with a tone knob) it's basically just a modified Fender (Fender = American). Correct?
