Members Doctor Morbius Posted November 17, 2011 Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 Even though I'm a die hard Fender guy, I voted Vox on this one as it's a much better value. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Angry Tele Posted November 17, 2011 Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 ^^^sounds like you want a deluxe reverb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members billybilly Posted November 17, 2011 Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 I can't do 10inch speakers so vox it is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jimash Posted November 17, 2011 Members Share Posted November 17, 2011 Since I have played both, much as I love the Princeton it will not keep up with the Vox. Different animals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members MonkeyNurse Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 Yes but I recently learned the AC15 combo is made of particle board or something. Is this what I should expect in this price range? I dont know how it effects the sound but MDF amps just "feel" cheap to me. Whats the Princeton made of? Maybe I should make a new thread. Im looking to get a new combo amp for home use. ALL tube. Cosmetically pleasing. No more than 15-20 watts. With a nice clean tone that takes pedals well but also has some kind of built in overdrive channel. As many built in good sounding effects as possible but must at least have reverb. Price range is upwards of about $1200 or so. Thanks for any suggestions you might have. Like I said I play mostly bluesy classic rock type stuff so I dont need any brootalz bull{censored}. Thanks. I would get the Valvetech Hayseed 15. It's right near your price range, and they are handbuilt in the good old USA. $1499 for the Hayseed 30 1 12 with weber ceramic blues ( - $200 for hayseed 15) So about $1300 for the 15 watt version. http://www.valvetechamps.com/theamp.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members stormin1155 Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 I've always been a Fender guy. Haven't played one of the new Princetons, but I have a '64 blackface, and they don't come much sweeter sounding than that! I think the new ones are quite overpriced.

Members Special J Posted November 18, 2011 Members Share Posted November 18, 2011 I would get the Valvetech Hayseed 15.

Though it doesn't have a built in overdrive channel, it does have 2 channels which you can fool around with an ABY switch to get different levels of preamp drive. Build quality is top notch. You can get on the phone with the guy who builds it. You can customize the appearance. Last I knew, there was a pretty good wait list though.
