Anyone have any experience with Vintage Sounds amps with steel? More specifically the Vintage 35 from the early 2010s that preceded the current Vintage 35sc. It’s a 35w ab763 style in a princeton size cab with a 12” speaker. They seem to get pretty glowing reviews amongst guitarist that have used them.

i've had a vintage sound 15 w/ 12" warehouse speaker on loan from a friend for few months now. I thought it was fine, w/ plenty clean headroom and loud enough for my rehearsal needs. it is dead silent at volume with no input which is a plus.

however, it was never more than just fine, and when I finally got a BF princeton there was zero comparison: the fender amp blew it out of the water.

YMMV

I love my 12watt Princeton style VS. great for the studio and small stages. Very excellent tone and build quality! Mines from 2008.

Speaker is a Weber, not sure which one. Maybe California 12”? Sounds so good 😊
