Looking at the http://www.mojotone.com/amp-parts/Mojot ... rb-Tanks#/ website...

Which one can be fitted into the VOX? Which one did you use/recommend?

MOD - Medium Decay, 8EB2C1B Reverb Tank
Tube amp and guitar tones straight from 1958… amazing how believable the sounds were back then, even without the modellers...

I run an ac15cc1x . It's an older onee with the single channel (no top boost ) And a blue.
I added a tone stack and a bright cap switch to it.
Apparently from weighing about the same as a panza it's one of my favourite pieces of kit. I'm guessing the speaker is very well broken in. It's also absurdly loud for a 15 watt amp. Also it only cost $400 from memory :)

Ah, the one with the beautiful rimu veneer on the top front. It is way more valuable now...
When faced with quality, I recognise it every time.

Why are you posting about that in here? He's specifically asking about a Vox AC15. Yours is an Ox.

Ox is good. Much better than

assman or
assbreaker.
Beyond a critical point within a finite space, freedom diminishes as numbers increase. This is as true of humans as it is of gas molecules in a sealed flask. The human question is not how many can possibly survive within the system, but what kind of existence is possible for those who so survive.
