![]() ![]() I have it with a cab housing a wgs Reaper. head with a custom fenderish 6v6 board and an aftermarket power transformer making it about 9 watts. My main amp is an old Hot Rod Deluxe with a wgs veteran 30 and I love it, but I roll the bass, treble and presence down to like 9 o'clock with the midrange at about 1 o' clock, depending on which guitar I'm using. The retro 10 doesn't sound like what I want, but maybe if I roll the treble down it might be perfect? I'm going to give the VX10 a fair chance since this is my backup amp. I was interested in the Green Beret until reading Kevin Stuart's comment. ![]() I have a Jensen Neo lying around that I'm going to try simply because it's there. They both sounded great live, but were noisy when recording, unless you turned them right up so that any residual noise floor was drowned out by wailing guitar!I have an AC10 on the way and I'm looking to swap the speaker too. I used to own a 1960s AC15, and also an AC30 of similar vintage. If you use one on your amp, and it helps, the problem is coming straight out of the AC outlet on the wall. Used VOX AC10C1 10W 1x10 Tube Guitar Combo Amp Shop with a Friend 2-Year Free Warranty on Guitars Every guitar or bass you purchase from Musician's Friend (electric or acoustic, New or Open Box) includes two years of protection from manufacturer defects. A lot of cheap extension cords designed for computers have a simple power conditioner built into them. If the amp is quieter when it's pointing in one direction compared top another, that's RF interference.ĭo you have any kind of power conditioner to hand? It doesn't have to be super-fancy. A good way to test for RF is to simply swivel the amp through various points of the compass. Generally speaking, you can divide it into air-born RF (Radio Frequency) and mains-born (through the power cord) interference. Trouble-shooting electronic noise can be harder. Loose badges, grille baffles, or carrying handles are good places to start, as is any screw that may not have been tightened adequately. Sometimes, you can get to the source of the problem by gently touching suspected sources of the problem until it diminishes. Combos are prone to these, because you have a complex assembly of components in one box, all being shaken about by the speaker. I agree that the noise on the video you posted is probably vibration, Tom. Paperback Rocker raises some good points, I think. Also thanks for all the suggestions for an amp in the other thread.Įdit: I can't seem to figure out how to add a video or just audio, so if someone can help me out there I could better explain the sound with the gain knob. I love how if you crank the gain all the way up you can still clean it up a lot with just how you pick. In the video I am plugged in but my guitars volume is all the way down.īesides that little sound, the amp is awesome. I recorded a video (hopefully you can hear it). No other strange sounds from other knobs or while playing, only while turning the gain up and down. I just turned it on and let it sit there for 5 minutes, is that a good idea? It sounds great and I'm not sure if this sound is a problem, but when I turn the gain knob it makes a sound kind of like a windy sound. It came today, first thing I noticed is no standby switch? First tube amp Ive had without one. I got it 15% off plus free shipping which was great. I just got a Vox ac10c1 brand new from a dealer on Reverb. ![]()
