New Vox hand wired amps for 2024 - Telecaster Guitar Forum
Mar 16, 2024 · The only unique/special thing about Vox has been the chime/jangle tones the AC 15 and 30 will deliver with an alnico speaker. If the amp don't have an alnico speaker and tubes it won't produce that either. And then there's nothing great or special about Vox amps imo

So, what are all the Vox clones/inspired amps out there right now?
Sep 17, 2009 · The Classic 30 is NOT like a Vox. The only reason people claim or confuse C30s for Vox is the EL84 power tubes, but the circuits are not similar. For what its worth, Classic 30's are one of my favorite amps though. As far as the Class A nonsense amp companies have been spewing to sell amps - Matchless and most Z's are NOT Class A either.
AC30 style amps (Vox, Victory, Dr. Z) -- results of my comparison
Nov 18, 2020 · Recently getting into Vox style amps. Here's my experience: 1. Vox AC15C1 (Greenback)-- Wonderful amp. Touch sensitive. All the right frequencies.

Vox and Fender are the kings of alleged re-issues imo. And none of them fix the major design faults of the amps. For Vox ACs the 2 major faults imo are.....
Country players and VOX amps??? - Telecaster Guitar Forum
May 7, 2015 · In some cases better with their natural compression and bright top end. Just watching the last decade of country music award shows, I've seen the switch from Fender & Peavey amps to Dr. Z, Morgan, Matchless, Bad Cat, TopHat, and of course, VOX. Occasionally I'll see a Fender or Fender style amp or a Marshall, but for the most part AC30 voiced amps.
Vox Amp with P90 Pickups? - Telecaster Guitar Forum

Vox choices - Telecaster Guitar Forum
