    Good pick there Mud.......at first I thought it was the Vox AC4TV that came out 1-2 yrs ago. However, the AC4TV has 2 tubes and the AC4C1 has 3 tubes, the difference being an extra 12AX7.

    The review below is pretty much all positive until you have to take the back off to get at the tubes. Sounds like a good amp and you ought to have fun with it. 10" Celestion Speaker.

    Any tube will give you some sparkle for slide and this ought to fill the bill without getting the horses all jumpy.

    BTW Mud......check this link out for some very reasonably priced lap steels. Tremblay is up in Canada and some guys on the SteelGuitar Forum have Tremblay steels.

    http://www.tremblayguitars.com/

    Here's an Atlanta GA fella, Steve Cunningham, who is a fabulous lap steeler. Here's a clip of him. He recently got a Tremblay steel though that isn't the steel he uses in this clip.

    Damn Mud......that was a quick change. lol Looks like a killer amp for slide. The ad didn't say what tubes are under the hood......my guess is 6V6 or 6L6s.

    Anyway, the recommendation still stands for the Tremblay lap steels. He has a fairly quick turn-around time too.

    I have lusted over one of these and I got the last one from zzsounds...only 250 made not sure if thats 250 blue 250 green......anyways the green has the jensen go figure I would of put the greenback in the green color amp ...but who's BIATCHING!!! I see a daphne blue strat in our future!!!! I will have to take a few pics from the puter until I get a stinking camera!! Looking at several websites its not clear whether this has a celstion or jensen I hate that, you would think specs would be right .......grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr ! THE JENSEN IS AN UPGRADED ALNICO SPEAKER AND IVE NEVER USED ALNICOS ANY HELP HERE ON ALNICOS IN GENERAL IS APPRECIATED! ATLEAST THESE ARE ITALY MADE AND NOT CHINA/celestions

    From reading reviews these are considered the upgrade with the exception being the new sparkly P.R. ones which have the celestion gold alnico but runs about $200-300 more!! I swear I learn more and more everyday or atleast remember more of what ive forgotten

    Congrats on the new amph.

    I have a 1970s Princeton Reverb that I got back then in high school. I always thought the speaker was weak. I upgraded to a 10" alnico and it really sings now without farting out. Seems like I get more loud clean volume when I changed to that speaker too. I don't use it all the time, but when I do it sounds great and it starts me to thinking why I would need anything else. Then I go to a jam and realize that I have louder amps for that reason.

    The guy that makes my steels usually has a 6 mth turn-around. Jason Lollar makes new Supro pups that postively scream blues......so if you pick up an old Supro and get Lollar to make you that pup, that might be the way to go. Here's Lollar's info on that pup.

    Good thing you jumped on it when you did, Muddy - I just clicked the link to check it out and it says: "This product is no longer available at zZounds." !

    Oh, thought you should know - I used the order number you posted to go in and make sure that they had the 'right' shipping address...:

    On FedEx vehicle for delivery

    Well the amp is here and it is a keeper!!! Read some bad reviews of a speaker baffle rattle on the first year ones and mine(newer) had just a lil remnants of glue or such as a possible remedy.I did have a lil rattle with bass on 10 and treb 10 verb 5 but a screwdriver to the back panels took care of all noise but just to be sure I siliconed lightly finger bead around baffle for no rattle period!! She sounds sweet and I mean it.I was a bit sad to see a manufactured baffle (MDF) and cab(not sure about this part but baffle is MDF) I was expecting wood for that price and for the amount of attention that was paid to the build quality because it is spot on !!! I will build a ext cab out of hardwood ply fo-sho!! It is a good day!!!



    http://www.premierguitar.com/Magazin...der_Combo.aspx


    Well I dug this up to remind me that unless I change OT ill have to switch internal speaker to a 16 ohm and get a ext cab with an 16 ohm speaker to match a 8 ohm total load.(seems the easiest way to me moreso than the pro answer and other poster).....can somone confirm this as I have trouble remembering things these days...........................
