I'm referring to 15-30W amps...I figured class A would be a bit louder...
It sure is easier to swap tubes with a Class A, that's why I like them.
My Matchless DC30 30 watt combo easily competed volume wise with my other guitar players 100 watt Marshall half stack...used to frustrate him...
Ok, so having owned Matchless since 1993 and also owning Vintage Marshall Superleads I can tell you there is no way on earth the 30 Watt C-30s can outrun a 100 watt Marshall. I love em both for different reasons but the Marshall is over the top louder.My Matchless DC30 30 watt combo easily competed volume wise with my other guitar players 100 watt Marshall half stack...used to frustrate him...
I now have an SC30 which is the same amp with only 1X 12" speakers...gets really loud as well!

Vox AC30's are cathode bias and from what I understand do run in class A up to a point and then become class AB.
I have a Fender Deluxe that was modded with a cathode bias switch that also removes the negative feedback loop similar to a Vox style amp. When you switch to cathode bias no negative feedback the amp becomes more aggressive and is louder at lower settings.
I skipped ahead in the alphabet and now I only play "Class E" amps. That's because I'm a "Classy" guy.
