For the punk rockers: Been playing my Vox AC4TV a lot and it does a great job sounding really nasty with no pedals in front of it. It is not an expensive amp ($250), and it plays it's part very well. It has 3 settings: 4 watt, 1 watt and 1/4 watt. At the 1/4 watt setting, you can get some very natural, but nasty sounding overdriven sounds. Harsh? A bit. Shrill? Maybe. Irritating? To some. Heavenly? Yes! This amp is what it is, and sounds great for just letting it rip. It's great at the 1 watt and 4 watt settings, but don't look for too much headroom -- it wants to growl! I've heard some critics say it needs more headroom. To them I say: Buy yourself a bigger amp and just let the Vox AC4 do it's thing!
