hamerhead Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 Love mine. You could play an entire gig - yeah, it's loud enough - straight in, just riding the volume knob. It's not really Fendery clean but good to about 1/3 volume. Then, it's always on the edge of breakup, but in a really good, usable way. At 1/2 to 3/4 volume with the gain at 1/3 to 1/2, and a touch of reverb (excellent reverb, too), a good P90 will drive it from near-clean to full-on rip (great singing lead tone) with just your guitar's volume knob. Beyond that is OK but will turn to mush when maxed out. And metal probably ain't in there, either. Mine is bone-stock with whatever tubes it came with. Decent tubes and a re-bias should make it even better. The AC10 is the second-best amp ever made (with the SuperChamp X2 being first, of course). Buy one. Or a SuperChamp X2. That fact that it weighs like 20 pounds is just the icing on the cake.
Dutchman Posted January 27, 2020 Posted January 27, 2020 If you decide to get the AC 10 put a set of these in.... you can thank me later!! https://www.kcanostubes.com/node/770

murkat Posted January 28, 2020 Posted January 28, 2020 I've had my lil Vox Valvetronix for quite sometime now, still a killer lil grab in go, I even took it, used at the last Chicago gathering/jam.

Eric Weston Posted January 29, 2020 Posted January 29, 2020 My Bro -in -law has one....I only played through it for 10 minutes or so......you can gig it. Sounded nice and fat, plenty loud for a smallish room.
