Well, what a day!
After being mostly a Fender person, I have been eyeing off Voxes over the past months to compliment my Anniversary. It gets on with my Twin Reverb real well, but just need a little more attitude for my current gig.
Up popped this today and I jumped on it. So glad I did!
It is a clone AC15 head, and the cab is loaded with a Celestion Blue. Handwired turret board construction with a Mercury transformer and similar quality components.
The chap I bought it from is a retired professor with phds in physics and electronics. Lovely people. He created an echo unit for Hank Marvin and sold a heap of them. He wanted a great amp to showcase his echo unit so whipped this up. Now retired so happy to sell it for just over half the price of what the base level vox heads sell for.
It sounds... amazing. Looks pretty nice too although tolexing is a bit amateurish, but solid. But it sounds absolutely incredible. Very happy!
And man, is it loud! I've been dithering for months thinking I really just want a AC15 but with my caveman drummer (the greatest) I'll have to go with the AC30. But this thing absolutely yelps.
It does that thing where it has a sort of natural reverb to it, although it lacks a reverb circuit. Phenomenonal amp so far.
