I don't think it's worth the money changing to MM transformers. THey're just price gouging you on those. You wouldn't be able to hear any difference at all. As for doing circtuit mods? like what you can change the voice a bit but so what, there is nothing to say that makes it sound better. This little amp is just so good right out of the box. It's not like a series one Epiphone Valve Junior. Yes changing transformers makes a difference because the original are small. On the Vox NT they're fine.

You are so right! The cheap VOX transformers they use are amazing!!!!.....until they catch on fire....we have had several on the bench that burned downed in the last year alone!!!... yet another person on You Tube spouting off about something they don't know jack crap about...

the sound demo is almost irrelevent since the audio signal is clipping on your mic.

Almost.....

this guy talking sounds like napolean dynomite.

Nice demo. It would be helpful to compare the modded amp next to an unmodded one, with all settings the same on both amps.

No way am I gonna spend 600 on an amp then turn it around and dump another 500 on mods..

I can get a decent tone out of most stock valve amps without all this high end snake oil crap

@melindagreenjeans After months of obsessive research, I decided I might start modding and building amps myself. When I learned what it took to salvage and rewind transformers, I recognized why MM's, or any exceptional, transformers are so expensive. Its the basis of the signal. I agree that spending $400 to upgrade a $200 amp is silly. I'm going to leave my AC4TV stock and buy a used Fargen off ebay :)

You are charging 400 dollars to upgrade a voxac4. An amp I got for 50 bucks at a pawnshop. Get real man.

I'm not convinced by this, it sounds just like mine.. except for the harmonic sustain you get at 2:06 for example. But, I'm playing this amp at gigs, band rehearsals etc, it's a workhorse for me. Personally, I don't spend any of my time letting chords ring out and listening to the harmonic overtones the amp produces because I'm too busy playing songs. If I had the cash to spare, would I buy this 'mod'? Probably not. What I would do, is buy an amp that I was happy with in the first place!
