I know AC10s have a bad build-quality rep, but I've had mine for over 5 years and zero issues. Edge of breakup up through Vox crunch? Absolutely! The reverb, although, digital, actually pretty decent too. You can get a little Vox clean out of this, but the clean headroom is relatively limited. The AC10 sounds fantastic for such an inexpensive little amp, if you dig the driven (or at least slightly driven) Vox thing. If you want clean cleans, though, look elsewhere. It takes pedals pretty well too (unlike some of the earlier versions). It is well built and, once it is allowed to breathe a little, sounds great for edge of breakup to delicious grind. Not ideal (at least without attenuation) for basement noodling. It is, most decidedly, not a bedroom amp. The PJ IV is, as has been pointed out, loud. Neither is better to worse than the other, IMO, just different. Love both, but they each have their own thing. If that “kerrang” can be in there in the Pro Junior if you guys know what I’m talking about, that could push me over the edge for it. The AC10 gets the classic chime and jangle, sparkle, kerrang, all that. Pro Jr does give more piece of mind though.and also visually satisfies my “need for tweed” when I see em, yet would be good for me where I’ve heard demos where it seems to do Fender clean then rip into old British/Marshall with those EL84’s when turned up. If I’m gonna lug.be a 2x12 cab or a 50 watt combo and up haha!! It has the Vox look nailed and streamlined to not look toy sized yet not clunky. VERY lucky I know haha!! I agree too the AC10 IS gorgeous. I’ve had good luck with all amps I’ve ever had though, new or used. I do worry about it going on the fritz though. I don’t mind that at all and and from the times I’ve played either one, I think the AC10 pulls it off great!! Yeah I believe it to be close to a hybrid, almost like the Blackstar HT range where there is SS in the flavin stages. The WOW that is a blast to play and does so much all in one side of me says the Vox.Īnyone here with experience with both? Thanks! Seems more “professional” in the quality department? Seems to be built a bit better, less to go wrong. I know this amp has more headroom which is good for pedals and playing out. It’s even more compact (to a detriment though? Is it boxy?) has more power, is it louder? I know it has no master volume which is good and bad. I do have a good amount of pedals though and I am also very intrigued by the Fender. I can already say I LOVE the Vox and I know it’ll do the job. This combo is gonna be used for more Neil Young, Tom Petty, Who, oldies, classics, rockabilly, rock, all that. I have ALL the rig I need for this side in a great Phaez half stack. Their are two sides of my playing now really, loud and heavy, riff and lead stuff. I’m going to be using this small combo as a portable upstairs/downstairs amp, out of the house jamming and studio stuff too. I’ve worked myself from finding a used Pathfinder up to something a litttttle more robust, of course ugh hahaha.
