VOX

Description

This limited-edition Vox AC30 features a pair of 12" Celestion Creamback speakers and upgraded JJ preamp and power-amp tubes.

The Vox AC30C2 amp makes use of 3 x 12AX7 preamp tubes and use 4 x EL84 tubes to deliver 30W of power. It includes a switchable 8/16 ohm output jack for powering an external speaker cabinet when you need to speak with a little more authority; using this jack will mute the internal speakers. Additionally, the 30W guitar amp's 2nd extension speaker jack allows you to run an extra 16-ohm cabinet along with the internal speakers for a fuller sound.

An Evolution in Tone
This Vox amp offers two channels: Normal and Top-Boost. Each channel is equipped with its own Volume control, and the Top Boost channel offers highly interactive Treble and Bass tone controls. This powerful channel pairing provides an abundance of tone-crafting control, letting you dial in a classic sound that is all your own.

Both channels on this Vox tube amplifier rely on the Tone Cut and Volume controls in the Master section. The Tone Cut control operates in the power stage rather than the preamp stage, allowing an additional degree of tone shaping. The Master Volume control works in conjunction with the individual volumes of each channel to create just the right degree of gain staging. By balancing the individual and Master volumes, the Vox Custom amplifier can deliver everything from a clean Vox "chimey" sound to a powerful overdriven tone.

Sound in Motion
Sweeten the sound of your Custom Vox amplifier using its classic tremolo effect. Both the speed and the depth are adjustable, allowing you to generate just the sound you want. A warm Spring Reverb is also included on all Vox Custom guitar amps, adding spaciousness to the sound. The AC30C2 also includes an additional tone control in the Reverb section. The Vox Customer AC30C2 tube amp and all Vox Custom amps can use the optional Vox footswitch, allowing you to turn the Reverb and Tremolo effects on and off as you continue to play. The Vox Custom AC30C2 provides an effects loop for incorporating your favorite effects into your sound. True "Bypass" switching takes the entire effects loop out of the circuit.

  • My last amp I'll ever buy

    I have owned a variety of Vox amplifiers including a Vox AC30 Hand Wired, an AC15, and a Vox solid state and this amp is without contest, my favorite. The tone is on par with the Hand Wired in my opinion, but for nearly half the price and with a gorgeous and natural sounding built in reverb from the spring reverb tank. It has been my go to gigging amp and I have not felt any need to upgrade since purchasing. As a bonus, it also looks SO sharp in all black and matches any rig. This has been my gold standard, and even when I go to vintage music stores and try boutique amps, I always find myself just wanting to go home and hear that sweet familiar tone and reverb from this amp.

  • I would buy this product again!

    I use at home, entertaining myself. Have played guitar since I was 8 (soon be 72), played in a rock band for several years in the 1960's. Have played through a Super Beetle back in the 60's. This particular VOX amp is the best I have ever played through. I mean this, sincerely!!!

  • Just WOW!!!

    Best amp I've played/owned in a long time. I had been searching for an amp tone for years! I finally found it. From the moment I plugged in and hit that first chord I fell in love with it. Great tone, warm sound, and crisp clean. This amp also sounds beautiful if you use pedals. The cream back speakers are the perfect in between sound of the green back and blue back speakers. It's the best of both worlds, in my opinion.

  • The best amp I've ever heard or played

    This thing is amazing and very loud. Best clean sounds I've ever heard on an amp. If I had a do over I'd buy it again and again over any other amp for the price. Got it on sale for the deal of the day.

  • What an incredible amp!

    This thing is not only loud, it's super clear. Very bright sounding, and it breaks up super nicely! I am so happy with how this thing sounds that I can't really put it into words. Any other combo tube amp would have to really wow me for me to make a switch from this amp. Do yourself a favor, if you've got the means, get you one of these guys!
