So this thing is killing it for me so far
Spent Saturday laying down some studio tracks for a new EP and it was great. I dropped in some JJ EL84's, a Gold Lion 12AX7 in 1 and a Sovtek 12AX7 in 2.

Re: N.A.D. VOXY LADY.....
They don’t disappoint!!!
As I said above I sold mine but now that I don’t have one anymore I miss it!!!
I’ve been thinking about picking up another one & turning it into a head just to make it a little more portable...Leave a comment:

Re: N.A.D. VOXY LADY.....
The 10in speaker in those things is surprisingly good for a modern ceramic 10 but if & when possible I’d suggest a a 1x12 cabinet with a Greenback, Creamback, or something comparable.....Originally posted by Wattage View PostLeave a comment:

Re: N.A.D. VOXY LADY.....
Ok well that’s cool
I’ve had a 15 and a 30 and I love/hate them lol not the HW though
How the 10 never ended up on my radar before is beyond me. Killer sound, perfect size for what I want and It can push a 1x12 cab too. Yeah gonna have to be mine soon.Leave a comment:

Re: N.A.D. VOXY LADY.....
I actually swapped out the 3 VOX amps that I had laying around for a single Handwired AC-15, mostly as a way to consolidate space? However the little AC-10’s are a great way to get that Top Boost tone cheap & in a much more apartment/bedroom friendly enclosure.
My H.W. AC-15 does break up much easier than the modern AC-15 I had before it but you still need a fair amount of volume to get it sounding it’s best & to be honest I do miss the little 10 from time to time....Leave a comment:

Yeah, I'm using a Soul Food with mine too. Big and bold. Sounds great when I use my Cry Baby Mini wah with this setup too.Leave a comment:

Re: N.A.D. VOXY LADY.....
I think that's the difference with a class A amp. As you turn it up, it just gets more in your face. Not great for a tight sizzling chug. But you won't get lost in a mix.

Re: N.A.D. VOXY LADY.....
I love my EHX Soul Food with my AC10. You are right about volume. With my Katana head (50 watt setting) and 1x12 cab, I had to run the volume (clean) up around half way and I still had trouble cutting through for stage sound without overwhelming the overall mix. The AC10, I'm running at about 1/4 volume and 1/4 gain (clean/pedal platform) and the stage sound is phenomenal. Cuts through with clarity, articulation, and mixes very well. Just perfect for worship/church setting and it has plenty left in the tank if we decided not to run it mic'ed through the PA.Originally posted by Nostalgic Distortion View PostLeave a comment:

Re: N.A.D. VOXY LADY.....
2 weeks later I've got to admit I'm still pretty darn Impressed with the little AC-10 & it is a very loud 10 watts!!! I do think it would benefit from a tube swap at some point but even completely stock it's got tons of VOXY goodness & personally I think the AC-10 is a much better drive pedal platform than the AC-15 or AC-30!!!
I'm not really sure why, it just seems to be much less finicky about what Overdrive & Distortion pedals are placed in front of it & unlike larger AC's it doesn't like my E.Q. pedal for some reason??? When I got my first VOX, a AC-15C2, I went flipping nuts trying to find the right dirt pedal for it. "This one was too dark and spongy", "that one was too bright & tight in the bass end" Etc....
Once I accepted the fact that for the most part AC's are much better "plug & play amps" than pedal platforms I started running it with just a Tube Screamer, a treble booster, and some delay instead of my entire board & life became much better!!! With those amp's the treble booster really helped find the tone I was looking for, the T.S. was just to push it a bit further!!!
For some reason (I think it's the lack of a real spring tank?) the AC-10 sounds great no matter what dirt box is sitting in front of it!!! LOL, just for turds & squirts I kicked my Wampler Triple Wreck on with the amp's volume & gain both set to about 1:00, the E.Q set to about noon, & just a touch of reverb. I got some crazy good high gain tone!!! I've tried the same thing through my Celestion Blue loaded AC-30C2 & my Greenback loaded AC-15C2, it sounded absolutely terrible in both cases but this is really nice...
The only real drawbacks I've found with it are that its all Top Boost all the time (not necessarily a bad thing, I'm just used to it's big brothers with the normal CH & CUT knob on tap) & the fact that the volume knob isn't very responsive between 7:30-11:00. Regardless of where the gain knob is. For whatever reason the volume seems to go from barely audible to AHH!!! But luckily Ahh is just about the right volume level for normal round the house practice & the perfect volume to get the tubes working...
I definitely recommend trying one out if you get the chance & haven't already!!!Leave a comment:

Re: N.A.D. VOXY LADY.....
Congrats! I love my AC10C1. Get yourself an OD of your choice and you'll never want to play anything else. I use mine more often than my Marshall DSL40C.
By my findings, this amp is the loudest 10 watts you'll ever hear, and the most bass you'll ever get from a 10" speaker thanks to the closed cabinet.Leave a comment:
