I was wondering if anyone has had the chance to try the new Vox AC4 next to an Epi VJ? Since they have the same tube complement, I can't help but think they would sound an awful lot alike with <5 watts.

I currently have a VJ and love it for playing at home, and will probably make a switch to the AC4 just for the attenuator and cool look. Just wanted to know if there is a big difference in sound? The only vids I've seen on youtube are kind of hard to use as a measuring stick.

I have a Epi Jr and it sounds nothing like the AC4 in this video:

The AC4 sounds more "Voxy" - big surprise there - and sounds like it has more gain without the mud of the Epi.
