Amplifikation Lancaster from Kuassa is inspired by Vox combo amps and guarantees a satisfying, dynamic, realistic amp recording experience for guitarists. The Amplifikation Lancaster plug-in recreates the original Vox amplifier tone and feel as it was heard throughout the decades, making distinct sounds from the ’70s, ’90s and 2000s available to today's guitarists. In addition, a parallel signal path from the normal and top boost channel (similar to the jumpered-mod), gives the amp more mojo, while the included treble booster pedal gives the plug-in a total modern incarnation of the original hardware setup.

Built as the demand for louder amps increased in the late-50s, the Vox AC30 was there when rock and roll culture began to shine. Known for its bell-like chime and bright jangly sound, the Vox AC30 was highly influential in defining the sound of the British movement with the faces of The Beatles, Queen, The Who, The Clash, Ritchie Blackmore, Oasis, U2 and Radiohead. Consistently in production for more than 50 years, the Vox AC30 went through many incarnations and models throughout its history. Amplifikation Lancaster taks three of their most distinguishable tones and compiles them into one amp to rule them all.
