Vox AC4 & Fender 60's Road Worn Strat

Quick and dirty recording of my newest amp I made simply with iMovie recorded through the MacBook Pro's internal mic.

It's probably me sitting too close to the MacBook.

Any trouble with the Road Worn strat...thinking of buying one...Just feels great in my hands...

[adaptable1]

It's a great instrument....I even compared it to my friend's real '65 Strat, and it is very close in feel and tone. Probably needs some setup to play right. Norman's Rare Guitars in Tarazana, CA has them on sale for $877 last Thursday.

How is the bass? Does the 10" work well?

[adaptable1]

The bass response is much better when you hook up a 12 inch speaker, but with the 10 inch its not bad...certainly more pronounced than my Fender Champion 600.

can this do heavy distortion?

[adaptable1]

On a guitar with higher output (Humbuckers), this amp does heavy distortion....kind of sounds like Brian May of Queen. If you front end the amp with a clean boost or tube screamer, it will do very nice tube driven distortion with either a Strat or a humbucking pick up equipped guitar.

He is, but he also demonstrates a lot of different styles in a short time. I found it useful to get to know this amp, and I don't really care if the riffs are a skillfully blended into eachother, or just played.

He's just showing the tone of the amp...  Get a life.

@bigdaddybluesman57 one question...what's it like to be a dick?

[jashobbsie]

beautiful guitars aren't they? I just put a demo video up of The shadows "apache", I love this guitar...

[ulftilly]

Really nice playing. I love this amp!

@chris20002Rocklin

OP level 4 means he set the OutPut to 4 Watts. This amp can be set to either 4, 1, or 1/4 Watts. You asked if he had a EF86 in there, so I assume you why this option exists.

[bigdaddybluesman57]

He's a noodler, that's what I call guitar players who play a few notes then go on to something else. They play a few riffs then some chords and go on to something else. Stop noodling and play some meaningful solos and chord progressions of some kind that make musical sense. Rat-tat-tat then a few chords then rat-tat-tat-tat-tat again. Good technique but poor content even for just amp testing. You can learn something by listening to Peter Stroud from 65 amps.

Is that the 8''?

[iaser1]

[iaser1]
