I have the AC4TVH (head version) but it's the same amp....
2 of 3 found this helpful Bad: The cranked-to-10 overdrive sound of this amp is not useful in my opinion, as the lows become rumbly like an old radio that's turned up too loud. This amp even through a 1X12 cabinet has a sound that's focused in the mids, not much bass or high-end presence.
Good: With the volume about halfway up, the overdrive and tone is superb.
Here's the thing - this amp does not sound like most amps on the market. If certainly has a vintage Vox tone, and somewhat resembles the "normal" channel on my AC15C1. But with Vox amps it's commonly acknowledged that people either love the tone or hate it. They're very distinct. I personally feel the on-board overdrive could use a little well-defined grit, and this is accomplished easily by placing a $40 Joyo Ultimate Drive pedal (clone of the Fulltone OCD) in front of it, with the gain knob of the pedal set very low, around 8:00 or so, and the amp's volume about 1/3 of the way up. You're not changing the tone of the amp; you're simply giving it some "edge". Do this with the amp on the 4W setting and you have a screaming little monster with all the Vox tone and chime you could possibly ask for. Play a few open arpeggiated chords and those individual notes ring out like they're from Heaven.
The attenuator (4W, 1W, 1/4W) works nicely. People complain that it doesn't sound very good on the 1/4W setting, but to my ears the tone is exactly the same as the louder settings, but the speaker of course isn't moving air like on the 4W setting so of course it's not going to feel as good. I think the criticisms of the attenuator are more of a "feel" thing than a tone thing.
I run a pedal board with overdrive, reverb, and delay into this amp and it sounds awesome. Certainly loud enough to keep up with many drummers. Of course you have those occasional drummers who beat the living dog crap out of their kit - may not be loud enough for that situation.

Everything you love about Vox AC30 tone
1 of 1 found this helpful Sounds like a cranked AC30, all the harmonic overtones and everything. I don't know how they stuffed so much tone into such a small device, but they did. The parameters for the effects (reverb, chorus, and delay) are not adjustable, but that's no big deal. I can now walk around outside in my front yard playing my guitar through headphones and people think I'm a weirdo, but they think that anyway.

Exactly what I was looking for
1 of 1 found this helpful I've been wanting one of these for a while. I was looking for a good modulated reverb that wasn't overmodulated and/or cheesy. This one is perfect. I actually had a Cloud 9 Shy Reverb, a very expensive "boutique" reverb pedal, and it was fine but the modulation effect was too pronounced and it colored the sound too much for my tastes. This pedal is able to add gobs of dripping wet reverb without coloring the sound of the original signal, so it's perfect for what I do, which is praise and worship music in churches. That requires a good amount of ambient reverb.
