A great production of a classic amp

Callum M. 11.12.2014

This amp is incredibly versatile, whether you are looking for the classic British invasion tone or a starting point to develop your own sound this amp is a great choice. It takes pedals exceptionally well, has a smooth yet chimey clean sound and breaks up really well on both normal and top boost channels (you can jump these channels with a patch cable for extra grit). The master volume is a nice inclusion for quieter practicing though the natural speaker compression occurs only at loud volumes. The master section also includes a tone cut, which is useful for bright guitars (almost a necessity for a single coil strat on anything other than neck pickup). The classic vox tremolo sounds great and the reverb has a tone knob for more versatility. The alnico blue speakers are the only real option for that quintessentially AC30 sound, though don't be afraid to try other combinations using the external and extension speaker outputs - I've had great success with a homemade 1x12 cabinet containing a celestion creamback.

Sound mit Kultstatus! Sound with cult status!

Sigi 17.11.2009

Mit dem VOX AC30CC2X hab ich meinen Traum-Sound gefunden. Es gibt keinen geileren Clean-Sound und vor allem im Crunch-Bereich ist der Amp unschlagbar. Für Hi-Gain Verzerrung braucht man allerdings einen Bodentreter. Mit diesen harmoniert der Amp allerdings auch perfekt. Selbst bei billigen Verzerrertretern kommt der Röhrensound astrein rüber. Empfehlenswert ist es hier allerdings den Master so weit wie möglich aufzudrehen und das Volume nur ganz wenig auf. So kommen Bodentreter am besten zur Geltung.

Einige Macken hat der AC30 allerdings auch. So hat sich bei mir nach kurzer Zeit die Gleichrichterröhre verabschiedet und vorher gab es immer wieder durchgebrannte Sicherungen. Grund dafür war der Standbyschalter, der bei diesem Amp angeblich völlig unnötig ist. In diversen Foren kann man von Technikern lesen, dass beim AC30 der Standby-Schalter IMMER eingeschaltet sein soll. Warum genau, ist in diversen Foren nachzulesen.

Seitdem ich den Standby immer eingeschaltet lasse muckt auch die Gleichrichter-Röhre nicht mehr! Den Amp geb ich nie wieder her.

With the VOX AC30CC2X I found my dream sound. There is no better clean sound and the amp is unbeatable, especially when it comes to crunch. However, for hi-gain distortion you need a stompbox. However, the amp also harmonizes perfectly with these. Even with cheap distortion speakers, the tube sound comes across as clean as can be. However, it is advisable to turn up the master as much as possible and only turn up the volume very slightly. This is how floor treads come into their own. However, the AC30 also has some quirks. So after a short time the rectifier tube gave up and before then there were always blown fuses. The reason for this was the standby switch, which is apparently completely unnecessary with this amp. In various forums you can read from technicians that the standby switch on the AC30 should ALWAYS be switched on. Why exactly can be read in various forums. Since I always leave the standby on, the rectifier tube no longer makes any noise! I'll never give the amp back.
