Jimi Hendrix - Little Wing - VOX AC15C1+Squier Stratocaster '91

So here is a brief sound sample of my new amplifier - the VOX AC15C1. I really like it so far, sounds classic and produces great "dirty cleans" with no problem at all. The recording sounds a little thinner than the amp sounds in person, but to be honest - if you are looking for an amp with massive low end available even for single coils, then I think the vox is not for you.

Played (if I remember correctly) on the Top Boost channel with preamp volume somwhere over 50% and master at about 25%. Guitar is my '91 E-series Squier Strat (korean) with Fender Tex-Mex pickups.

Overally I'm quite happy with this short video, my playing turned out not to be THAT bad ;) I hope you enjoy it!

Recorded with Nikon D3100.

Nikon D3100 mic ?

[Eoon]

@rrgert4 yup

[rrgert4]

@Eoon wow, when i record with my D3100 i always have to record the audio separetly with my headset mic lol, especially if im recording my amp, it sounds so horrible if not

[Eoon]

@rrgert4 I guess it's just a matter of trying to place the camera in different places to see which position gives you the most balanced and natural sound. And probably if you set your amp too loud, the mic will eventually clip so keep that in mind too :)

Great tone and beautiful playing my friend!

I love my AC15C1 too... I believe it's the best amp I've ever had. With strats and tele's it sings and chimes like there's no tomorrow!!!

[Eoon]

@ec101dm It indeed does :) What do you think about the overdriven tones? I'm starting to think that they're quite harsh. I've heard that changing the tubes is a simple solution to that "problem".

Solo's missin' man..

[rrgert4]

@Eoon yeah, it does, thanks mate.. great playing btw ;)

@rittjc Hey bud, congtats on your gear! Id say it depends on what AC15 you have though :) Single coils make just about any Vox sing (so I TOTALLY agree with you) but I crank my AC15C1 with my 2007 Gibson SG Standard all day. Thats what I call TONE! The SG is a bit harsher than the Les Paul, ofcourse, but the Solid state rectifier helps with pushing a Vox to hard distortion levels when using humbuckers. Great Sunn amp by the way!

@rittjc oh, and BTW, my AC15 did nothing at all for my LP. Its a British amp for the British blues tone we at one time mistakenly called rock. Cool sound of the 60's but pushed out of the way to make room for the massive 70s-80s of rock's heyday. Try it guys, you will know exactly what I mean!

[rittjc]

@Eoon Yeah, guys, the AC15 has some sweet single coil tones if you don't need "loud". But for overdrive, you are barking up the wrong tree with the wrong dog. Need to got my Gibson LP w/burstbuckers along with a good high gain amp. Since I got my LP, I don't even power up my AC15. I have a Sunn 50 with a super over-drive preamp channel. Tones of the 70s-80s. No sound like it! Hit a note, go to lunch, take a nap, come back, and its still holding that note! Tone's cool but sustain is awesome!

@Eoon I think turning the tone cut up a good bit helps that, i had that problem when i used a fuzz face but get a really nice sound now with the tone cut turned up. :)
