HW has found the amp he wants to be buried with...an original 1964 AC10 Twin 2x10 with Alnico Silver 10 inch speakers... and there is only one thing left to do. #ProfileTheWorld
The 1964 AC10 Twin Kemper Profile Pack will drop on Saturday!
SOOO SWEET AND TIGHT sounding
I have one amp that has an EF86 circuit and I love it. There is something special about that tube and what Vox has built around it.
More sweet, sweet profiles for the arsenal! 🔥🔥🔥 Thanks, HW!
Thanks for your video. I just bought myself a 64 Vox AC10 twin Super Reverb, near mint and stupidly rare. Your video on the vibrato setting sold it to me! :)
9:00. That's the "blizzard of nails" tone that voxes are known for.
Sounds so good
I have this exact amp, a '64, those speakers are indeed Elacs' they just have the bell cover on them which can be removed by unscrewing.
Such a wonderful unique amp. I first tried and gigged one in around 1979 and never forgot how good it was. Five years ago That amp went on sale again from the same owner, but the price was 3000$ that I didn't have at that time. Got the reissue in 2016 and I'm happy. The new model has enough of the original Mojo to please me and hit the spot. But the original would be nicer for sure! And you're right about the two 10", they are very important to the sound ;-)
Just when I think I’ve found my favorite profiles... you go and do something like this. 🤤🤤🤤
Sorry not sorry!
I come back once in a while to listen the jam at 12:18. Super tasteful playing, man!
Sounds amazing, nice! A point of clarification - when you’re detailing the AC-30 history, the “integrated Top Boost” models started as early as early 1964. I have one, copper panel and all. Not the add-on panel kit in the back.
I remember when you first mentioned you wanted one of these on the podcast. Now it's for real and being profiled. I suppose dreams do come true! The 60s 335 into the 60s Vox sounds great - can you profile the guitar too please 😂
Dreams do come true!!
I have this exact amp, it might as well be it's twin, those speakers are indeed made by Elac, they are identical to the blue Elac 10N78's but they have the bell cover which unscrews off.
They do indeed sound incredible!.
Very nice playing, man.
Hey Hey Hey... got almost the same at home.... 1963... not bad.... some magic happens here !
Awesome Profiles Incoming!
There are some ac15's out there with 2 speakers in them.
I just built me a replica of an Ac-10 but with a single speaker. Same L-shaped chassis as I followed the schematic to the letter. Is the ef86 channel quieter on your amp versus the Normal channel? The normal channel on mine is loud as ever but the other one is quite quieter. Like half of the volume when dimed and yet everything in the circuit is correct. Great video by the way. 🙂
What preamp tube in normal channel? And EF 86 tube suggestions? What you got in the PI? I have a custom amp based on an ac10 twin and need new tubes.
Hw always sounds like he’s gonna cry tears of joy in these voice overs.
I’d like to hear either a single or double P90s thru this amp, it would absolutely growl I’m willing to bet.
I've had the ac10 single speaker since 1980 and I was offered a grand 15 years ago and no way would I sell my baby it's part of me now and I ain't changed anything on it
Do you have dimensions for that combo? I want to build the identical box and rehouse my AC10C1
Have you discovered the secret " amplitude knob " and its effect on this amps performance ?
Twin 10s are the best !why they don’t make these anymore ,I don’t get it ?
The AC15 came before the AC30. The latter was built because bands needed more volume. The first AC30 had EL34s (yes like a Marshall plexi or Selmer zodiac 30) but these were quickly replaced with EL84s. The EF86 was removed from the AC30 due to microphonics. Vox used the EF86 preamp design from consumer applications and the high gain in said configuration makes it more microphonic than it need be, not a great fit for guitar amp combos but oh the sound. Players missed the “sparkle” of the EF86 so Vox stole the boost/EQ design from Gibson and used it to create the top boost.
Dude that amp is straight fire. You Gotta stop this...I keep telling myself no more profiles!
HW have you profiled this amp for the kemper?
Yeah and it's coming out this on Saturday!
@@ToneJunkieTV - Sweeeeeeet...!!!!
what about the 65 vox ac10 srt like on the doug and pat show if ya had that profile i'd love to purchase that from ya to
Mark Grimm My understanding is that they are basically the same amp. SRT stands for Super Reverb Twin. Super was used to denote a head and cab instead of a combo. Reverb because the amp has built in reverb and Twin because it had 2 speakers. My amp is an AC10 Twin, so... 2 speakers, not a super (head and cab) so it’s a combo and mine has no built in reverb. Which is would like but for the purposes of profiling...we couldn’t capture it anyways. Info is a little scarce but from what I can see all AC10s that year used the sale tubes etc so I believe SRTs, AC10s and AC10 twins are the same circuit. The SRT is the rarest of the bunch though. It didn’t even appear in the box catalog for that year.
They aren’t close to the same. Very different tonally
Pete I can’t find any documentation that speaks to the differences in the circuits but if you know where to find a schematic or comparison I’d love to check it out.

Check out the Doug and Pat show. Henry Amplification cloned one following the schematic. On one of the shows, they talk about how it’s a completely different amp. You can get a Henry for $1600 without killing the bank for a $4k vintage head.
Gandalf made those speakers.
That amp is smoking! Get her profiled before she sets on fire!
didnt you just say that about the tweed you just bought last video? haha
The Doug and Pat Show has been tooting the horn of mid '60s Vox AC10 SRT's for a long time.
Great video and amp :) You got the history backwards tho... an AC30 is a scaled UP AC15, not the other way around ;-) Also, you could order a 1x12 or 2x12 AC15 (and a 1x10 or 2x10 AC10 for that matter)
Also I have an early '64 candy panel integrated top boost. They came out in early '64... not 66
3:52 to skip the jawflapping
Are you vibratoing your vibrato? I think you have a problem. 😉
Vibrato squared!
Your name is HW?
Hmm!
All I see is that 335
Dude it's a dream instrument! Seriously, it's really strange much mojo you feel in it.
Lots of performances are going to be copied, and changed to roll with this amp.
