Cleaning my Vox AC15H1TV!

Post by fireglo67 »

Hi guys.
Not your usual question, but my Vox AC15H1TV needs a bit of a clean as the cream colour has now turned more of a dirty beige.
Any suggestions on the best thing to use to spruce it up?
Cheers.
Rob.

Start with mild soap and water, would be my approach. Don't get it too wet. Compressed air to blow dust out of the grill cloth. :)

Should have known the legendary Scottie cleaning techniques would raise their ugly head. :lol:

Thanks kira, I will try the old soap and water, should I switch the amp off first though?

:shock: And don't stand in the puddle! :lol:

But check back if there are any really stubborn stains. I'm not sure what stronger to use but PW could guide you on that, I'm sure.

I would take Scott's advice with a grain of salt, having already seen his comprehensive guide to stringing a twelve-string. :evil:

How insulting the definitive guide to stringing a 12 stringer was one of the best threads this forum has seen. :mrgreen:

Nope, I checked, and it's definitely Scottie.
