Which Vox Amp

Hi there everyone, as someone who owns the Vox AC30VR, could anyone give me there opinion of the best Vox amp of the modern versions available ?
At home in the bedroom the AC30VR is great, but on stage when wound up it distorts quite a lot and breaks up, turning it down a bit and then putting a mike in front does help, but I feel that a lot of the original tone is lost.

All comments and opinions welcome as this is to be both a home use Amp and for club meetings as well.

Regaeds, Mike

Hi mike, i`ve got the AC15vr which i use both at home & gigging.I find its fine in smallish pubs but mic up for bigger venues.I set the master vol to max then set the channel vol to the req`level. I do have the AC30cc2x with the blue speakers but although its a great amp,due to the weight, gets little use these days.
cheers, steve.t

My choice would be as follows

Vox Mini 3 for home use (you can play your backing tracks through this as well AC30 AC15 settings ) approx £75.00 great little home amp

Vox AC15 or AC30 for Gigs

Cheers :)

Try to find an AC15 Heritage Handwound... or failing that, an AC30CC1 and get Amanda to breathe on it for you.
