Meh, no Metalzone needed.. She'll chug, just crank it up to 10, if you dare! Don't forget your earplugs. 😉 Plenty of cats out there rockin' 6L6 based amps.
@@fredriksvard2603 u play guitar ? Stone cold crazy has alot of of chugging in it at least with you're wrist going up and down on the power cords palmutting. Is that not a chug? You don't know what you're talking about
The AC15 takes high gain pedals exceptionally well. i regret selling mine. I have never been able to achieve the same tone out of any other amp with the same high gain pedals. The clean tone with a chorus is one of the best out there.
Once was a girl, that brought her vox ac30 for the bands rehearsal. I gotta say I was inloved with the tone. That amplifier, for me, has as the best clean/crunchy of all the amps I ever heard.
It's my pedal platform for this reason. It has an effects loop, attenuator, and there are tricks you can do to get more control over the EQ, too! Ola's trying to expose my secret tech.
Two things to know about Vox style amps. 1. The EQ controls are interactive. Roll off the treble and bass below 12:00 and you get more mids than just a top and bass cut. 2. Power tube distortion needs master volume full up. A lot of the magic of the vox sound is in the power section disorting rather than the preamp.
This would've been a great time to crank out some high-gain overdrive or boost pedal! VOX tube amps take pedals very well, you can actually get them to chug fairly well
I gigged with a Laney LC50-II for like 8 years. My bands played what I labeled as "punk-funk-metal", and I used to run the Laney clean for our funky songs/parts, and then use a Metal Zone for the punk and metal stuff - sounded killer. So yeah, I agree with Ola - a Metal Zone will make any amp chug if you set the amp for a clean tone and then use the pedal as the high gain channel.
I use my AC30 for literally all genres. I'm the kind of guy who loves both funk and metal equally. The main this is: does your amp have beautiful cleans? This amp takes pedals like a dream. One thing I'd say is: I wish I'd gotten the 15. The 30 is about 10,000 pounds.
I'm sure your neighbors absolutely love you 😅 that thing is LOUD. Even my AC10 seems pretty loud, I can't even imagine what an AC30 would be like. Absolutely love Vox amps though, I don't know if I'll ever buy anything different!
You have no idea how much I appreciate this video, Ola. My punk / metal band has a few South by Southwest gigs coming up in which the Vox AC15 is my only backline option, and I thought I was totally screwed until I found this video! Many thanks for what you do - pretty much every other video just focuses on the clean / light breakup approach, but this is only one I’ve seen from a distinctively metal viewpoint. Cheers!

you were SO CLOSE to getting some really amazing vox saturation on the top boost channel. The ONLY thing you didn't do was crank up the Master Volume with the top boost volume cranked as well. You'll be amazed at how distorted that amp will get. Rock on.
Saw the title of this video and, as I do every time, I thought "He's such a dickhead. I love him." And this couldn't be a more classic example of why. Did you do any prep at all? No. Did you manage to get the darkest clean tone I've ever heard from a Top Boost Vox? Yes. Did you crank the master for old-school power tube distortion? Absolutely not. Did you plug in a boost? No. One better. A Metalzone. 10/10 would watch again. Never change, dude.
ac-30 with a tube upgrade will blow your mind. not only does it do the cleans super well (i love my greco les paul through it) but it will also bite sooooooo hard when pushed. great for classic british metal, and doesnt sound too bad for some thrash stuff too!
@@dmitryowens I hope you modded it then. Stock it sounds pretty, shall we say, hard to get a good tone out of it? But they make great modding platforms that can sound really great.
@@chaptermasterpedrokantor1623 I'm not an electronic engineer, dude - lol And I could get good tones out of it - apparently some people just don't know how to adjust the EQ. I do want to get a Waza Metal Zone, however - I hear they sound killer.
The Vox out of the box is country, blues, jazz, early rock, without a single peddle. If you want a brown sound or Hendrix, zz top, AC/DC, you have to choose the right peddle. It's not really voiced for some of the modern metal, and drop tunings. It does what it was made to do, well. Throw a ds1 in front of it, and it can pull off Eddie Van Halen type sounds just fine. The Vox ac10 rings like a bell. I use two high quality pedals, distortion and delay, strait in. I get great tone and energy They have no effects loop. I'm not an engineer, but I think you can peddle them to death and loose the tube magic.
The tone cut control is everything on these amps. And it works a counterintuitive backwards. Basically a tone control in the power section, brightest at zero setting.
I bet this would sound amazing with a clean boost in front of it. I of course do love it for its classic rock applications and whatnot but it could sound cool for metal with a boost.
I got a Vox AC15 to chug once, but it needed a little help. I was in a pretty well-known music gear store trying out a used Danelectro Fab overdrive pedal going into an AC15 and I was totally rocking out on some "Am I Evil?" with a Jackson guitar.
I'm planning on getting a Vox AC10 to play most things, Vox AC's are my dream amp. I want to play Metallica on it, don't give a crap if it wasn't made for metal
I love reamping DIs through a pushed Vox or Matchless patch then blend it in with high gain tones for a hint of extra definition. Either absolute kill for ambient clean tones too.
The best tone I ever had was with an all solid-state VOX amp from the 1960s along with the original Boss ME-5 and my Yamaha RGX or Jackson Randy Rhoads custom shop special - that combination sounded way better than the JCM 900 I also had at the time. Man I wish I still had all that gear.
It’s pleasing to see Ola use the AC15, I’ve always seen it as the stoner/doom guitar players use it a lot or anyone who just likes using s lot of pedals.
Soy: By 1968 the Beatles had moved past the Vox amps. (Their "exclusive" deal/contract with Vox was for live shows. Those ceased in 1966.) They may have used one here or there but most photos of them in the studio from that era showed them using Fender amps.
About 10years ago I had an AC30, run a Russian Big Muff, DS-1 and some old purple eq pedal I forget now, it definitely chugged but also gave me ridiculous nice clean tones. I miss that setup
The MEANEST tone I ever achieved was slapping a fuzz factory in front of my VOX AC15. Guess Ola was not ready for it. If you guys want a taste, let me know and I'll record some old school chug with it
The dials from the top boost actually has a subtle yet very noticeable effect on the width and shape of the normal channel. If you want more grind while in normal mode, max the top boost volume and treble and bass a bit past noon.

Once I plugged a Boss DS-1 or DS-2 into AC15 and it sounded amazingly good
Next time when you have an amp that is ALMOST chugging, please try if you can push it over the edge with a Tubescreamer overdrive in general.
I agree, my amp is a vox ac30, now I'm not a metal player, but i can get some good heavy overdriven tones with just a tube screamer
The dials from the top boost actually has a subtle yet very noticeable effect on the width and shape of the normal channel. If you want more grind while in normal mode, max the top boost volume and treble and bass a bit past noon.
1st to comment. That's Vox is sick honestly. Got clean atmosphere.
The vox night train needs no metal zone to chug.... But when you do add one ( or anything like it) it REALLY f ing chugs. ;)
