I know it will never be equal to a Marshall tube amp, or even a completely tube VOX, but, since I only play at home and will never play out, it might work out perfectly fine for me. Im not 100% certain on how these hybrid style amps work so is the clean channel on these all tube while the overdrive is SS? Or is the overdrive a combination of tube and SS?Īs I said, I am looking to replace my Class 5 and am hoping that the AC15VR would be a (reasonably) suitable replacement.

And what about the overdrive channels? I concentrated mainly on the clean channel and will spend more time with the overdrive later on but just wanted to ask what people thought.

How do people find the reverb on them? I find the reverb on my Pathfinder to be pretty weak and I am concerned about having the same problem with the AC15VR (the store I tried one out in was rather busy and loud so it was difficult to hear the reverb without cranking the volume on the amp and I didn't want to be one of 'those' people who play stupidly loud in guitar stores). I have to spend some more time messing around with one in the store before I make my final decision but, in the meantime, I was wondering what people here thought of them, especially in terms of reliability, build quality, etc. I've tried the AC15VR out a couple of times and really quite liked them. But, if the AC15VR got me pretty damned close to tubey goodness, I might not bother with the VOX head at all and would simply keep the AC15VR and the Pathfinder. I might decide to grab a VOX head (likely the AC4TV) and cab in a couple of months and, if I do, I might get rid of the Pathfinder and keep the AC15VR instead (I can't believe I am considering getting rid of the Pathfinder but I just would never ever use any more than two amps). I've decided to get rid of my Class 5 due to being fed up with the rattling problem and was thinking that I would get the AC15VR as a replacement and a companion for my Pathfinder 15R. Can anyone give me their opinions of the VOX AC15VR?
