VOX

collapse expand iconDescription

The classic sound of the VOX AC30 inspired a rock revolution that continues to resonate with guitarists today. Inspired by the original, VOX has released the AC30S1, a stripped-down, single channel amp that’s packed with legendary tone. Equipped with a single Top Boost channel, a studio-quality digital reverb and a custom-voiced 12” Celestion speaker, the AC30S1 represents the evolution of an iconic sound.

The AC30S1 delivers the full-fledged experience of the classic AC30, but in a more stripped-down and straightforward way. It’s single-channel design is based on the revered Top Boost channel of the AC30, a sound that has been the source of some the most famous riffs in rock history. This unique, touch-sensitive circuit delivers a wide range of tones, from chimey clean to rich overdrive. The AC30S1 also features a studio-quality digital reverb, an effects send/return for pairing with your favorite pedals, and an external speaker output for pairing with other speaker cabinets. This AC30 represents the evolution of an iconic sound, pairing legendary VOX tones with a simple, modern approach to amplifier design.

    Has the good Vox sound that I'm accustomed to. It is some 20 pounds lighter than my AC 30 at 54 lbs. Cabinet is smaller than the AC 30 and will be more managble to transport.

  • Old School Tone for days!

    Once those tubes warm up it is powerful. It can be super clean with lots of head room and it sounds great when you turn up the gain and get a little distortion. The amp works great with all my pedals. Loud enough for a show and not too temperamental so you can dial it down and still have great sound at home.

  • Love the tone, makes me pick up my guitar much more.

    I cannot determine from what I have read if the new AC30S1 has similar dimensions to the original/standard sized AC30 with 2x12 speakers. I saw some where it if slightly less "deep" but are height and width the same as the regular AC 30's?
