![]() Crank up the main volume, and you had the same tone but with sufficient volume to play with an electric band. (At least the tone, not necessarily the playing. With the gain turned up–but the main volume turned down low–you would swear you were listening to Little Walter. Playing loud is the norm at Guitar Center, but the clerk had to come over and tell me to turn it down. You can’t believe how loud this 10 watt amp is. This amp seemed like the perfect compromise. I liked the 15 and 30 watt versions too, but they have weights the 60 to 80 pound range or something like that. Yes, the Vox AC 10C1 is a new amp this year that fills the gap between Vox’s 4-watt amp and 15/30 watt amps. Will definitely provide a review and recording as soon as possible. Obviously, this is a very subjective thing. The Fender had a preamp volume control that essential did the same thing, but it seemed I had to have the main volume way up before the breakup started to develop, and I just liked the tone of the Vox better. Using the gain control, I could get a nice breakup at low or high volumes, or by turning the gain down, I could also get a very clean sound sound at low and high volumes. The tone was a bit darker with a more prominent mid range than that of the scooped frequency response of the Fenders. Ten watts, four tubes, one 10-inch speaker, and weighing only about 27 pounds, the Vox AC10 controls include: gain, bass, treble, reverb, and volume. To my surprise, it was the British tone and circuit that provided the thrill: a Vox AC 10C1. I thought for sure one of the small Fenders was going to do it as these are the amps most harp players use. I dragged several pedals, my SM-57 mic, and my Hohner melodicas into Guitar Center a couple of weeks ago (twice, once at two different stores) and auditioned a number of amps. I finally found an amp that provides a great Chicago Blues harp sound when used with a melodica.
