I went to Untapped Talent Studios in Southampton and tried these out so I don't upset neighbours. Oh my word, its really loud.
Just watch the video on how I explore to get the right tone for my guitar and effects pedal as well as which one sounded the best.

This is my recently published book. It's all about the almost fictional things happened to me during my childhood. Some are unlucky events, others are pure stupidity of myself but even after all that, I was still lucky and miraculously survived all the adversities.
Hope you find time to buy the book either eBook which is PDF format or the Paperback copy from Amazon. Just search Miracles and Me or click this link below:
Thank you so much!
When I first bought this Hotone Siva Boogie, I was really curious as to how loud it can go and also which speaker suits it size and sound. So what I did before was just paired it with my old speakers. One was Celestion Eight 15 and then the other one was from my Park by Marshall Amplification. Just improvised and connect it to this Siva Boogie. It sounded great but it seems like a DIY thing and I think with the 8 inch speaker, it lacks low end.
But then I found this Vox BC108 online and it ticks all the boxes. It small and lightweight, it's also 8 inch speaker and 8 Ohms plus many claims that the low end of this speaker cabinet beats a 1x10 or even 1x12 speaker cab. So I was really curious and wanted to get one to try out. And to my surprise, it is really a good pair for this Hotone Siva Boogie.
Made a big difference to the sound. It sounded fuller and louder. To be honest it became more bassy. The low end is overly projected.
The Vox BC108 speaker cabinet is lightweight. The hole at the back that serves as handle is not that great because the speaker is not balanced when you carry it or pick it up. It's tilting to the front. Unlike if the carry handle is at the top like a strap, it's more accessible and makes the speaker balanced when you pick it up.
I think when you add a reverb pedal to this setup plus overdrive to push the amp, it will be a perfect portable gear either for rehearsals or busking. When I used my Zoom G1Four, there were good sounds especially when I just use the reverb from Zoom G1Four. Some sounds is more like digital. Don't know if its incompatibility between Orange Crush Mini, Vox BC108 and Zoom G1Four or it's just that the multi-effects pedal is digital and the patch settings was too much.
Will keep you posted soon for more experiment with this Vox bc108.
