The C1 in combination with the Gold delivered all the old-school Vox jangle you could want and the G10M was smoother in the highs and fuller in the mids. We compared the VX10 speaker with a Celestion Alnico Gold and a G10M. The C1 also cleans up really well when you back off your guitar volume, and the master volume does a fantastic job of reining back this surprisingly loud little combo to bedroom levels. The C1 can get very overdriven, but the bass end holds together extremely well, and even with single coils the treble remains devoid of harshness. In sheer gain terms, the C1 matches the old AC10 – then pushes things a lot further still. So we can say that the C1 does sound a lot like an original – but only up to a point. The point is it’s something you can dial in to taste rather than something you’re obliged to live with. If you prefer a bit more vintage looseness in the lows, the C1 can oblige when you ramp up the bass control. The most impressive thing is the way the C1 captures the harmonically loaded and slightly blurry chime that characterises the classic Vox sound. Compared to the old one, the treble isn’t quite as sweet, but the C1’s bass response is considerably tighter and better defined. With the reverb turned off, the C1 can sound very much like a vintage AC10’s normal channel. Despite all the construction changes between the C1 and the vintage AC10, the tonal similarities were more apparent than the differences. Better still, the vintage example was retrofitted with a top boost module and the input resistors had been changed to AC15 spec to make it louder and brighter. It was fortunate to have an original ’63 AC10 on hand to compare with the C1. It also means there is a greater range of tones than you might normally get from a regular two-band equaliser. So some familiarisation is required before you can start to get the hang of the tone controls, which means dialling in a sound can take a bit longer than you’d usually expect. There also appears to be some degree of crossover between the controls, which changes the timbre of the midrange. Turning up the treble control increases high-frequency response much as you might expect, but beyond the halfway point the bass begins to roll off as treble is increased. Bass response seems to be fairly neutral about halfway up, so you can roll it off or boost it. The C1’s tone controls respond and interact in a peculiar and slightly unpredictable way that’s not dissimilar to the old Vox top boost arrangement. So there’s plenty of air moving around inside the cabinet to keep things cool. Standing over the amp and playing a powerchord, I felt a blast of air from the top vent hit me full in the face. 【IP69K Waterproof under Bad Weather】Back up camera systems for car upgrades the waterproof rate from their metal case, PCB-Coating, and sealing adhesive, which can fully replace the rearview mirror and provides a clear view in rain, fog, and mud.Cathode biased Vox amps are known to run hot, but fear not.No timing waste for phone pairing anymore. 【Sync Signal with One-button Activation】 The monitor auto-shows real-time images once activated, avoiding the dangers caused by lags, buffers, or disconnects.
