VOX AC30 CC2 Custom Classic Tube Guitar Combo Amplifier

The VOX AC30 Custom Classic is the culmination of over 45 years of high quality, guitar amplifier design and fabrication. VOX has taken the best AC30 designs and added a number of useful, very cool features to create the most tonally flexible and affordable AC30 to date!

History in the making
Why has the AC30 been an icon for decades? It's the amplifier's unique, warm tone, its player friendly feel and its primeval circuit design. With its straightforward what you see is what you get"control format, the AC30 was a hit with artists from the very beginning. Back then, VOX owned the '60s British invasion and to this day the AC30 is widely used by all kinds of guitarists performing in a huge range of musical styles.

With a number of modern enhancements including blendable channels, a true bypass FX loop, spring reverb and master volume, to name just a few, the new AC30 Custom Classic is an evolution of the original that is sure to become a classic in its own right.

Attaining the highest standards
In order to achieve tonal nirvana, this AC30 is manufactured in VOX' vertically integrated manufacturing facility. What this means for you is that VOX has total control of the design, the quality and the sound of your amplifier. Their factory is capable of many processes not found in most guitar amplifier factories. VOX designs and manufactures their own transformers, speakers (except for the venerable VOX Blue & Neodog which are manufactured by Celestion), cabinets and they build their own electronics. All components have been designed, manufactured or selected so that the performance and sound of your AC30 Custom Classic is second to none.

An evolution in tone
When VOX set out to create the AC30 Custom Classic, they started from their most highly acclaimed model to date, the AC30 Hand Wired. With twin inputs (high and Low) and a Master Volume circuit, these amps offer highly interactive Bass and Treble tone controls, as well as the VOX Tone Cut control (which varies the presence in the power amp section) for even greater tonal variety. VOX also included Classic Tremolo with variable Depth control and a tube-driven Accutronics reverb with Level and Tone controls as well as a Dwell switch.

Two blendable channels, a first
Not only does the AC30 Custom Classic include two channels, it also offers the ability to blend those channels together (a first for the AC30!). The Top Boost Channel serves up that classic AC30 tone, while their new expanded Normal Channel now offers two modes, Normal and Bright, which allow you to achieve the sounds of an assortment of vintage AC30s. Use the channels individually or blend them together for increased tonal flexibility to create a unique sound and feel that's all your own.

Control freaks rejoice!
The AC30 Custom Classic is fully equipped with well thought out and easy to use controls. With a Custom/Normal EQ switch, Tone control and Dwell switch for the spring reverb, Master Volume, fully variable Tremolo on all channels and a true bypass Effects Loop, they've thought of everything! VOX even included a switchable cathode resistor that lowers power output and increases tube life. Of course, the AC30 Custom Classic comes with the standard controls like Treble, Bass, Tone, Volume, Standby and more.

Subject:The AC30 CC2 has the Mojo!
Quality: Built like a tank; heavy, but has 3 handles for moving and you'll need them; this thing weighs 70 lbs.
Reliability: Only had it a few months but with the superior construction and great reputation; I should be using this one for years.
Overall: It's got the mojo! Great looks; even greater sound.
Playability and Feel: Lots of tonal controls; not crazy about the locations of the controls but it does add to that 'vintage' feel. The mother of all tube amps IMO.
Tone: You can literally get any sound out of this tube monster that you would ever want. World-reknown clean channel and very conducive for effects pedals usage.
Finish: Vintage grille cloth and rugged build make the AC-30 a good looking amp.
Action: Packaged well from Vox and AMS. Boxed and plastic-wrapped from Vox and double-boxed from AMS.
Skill Level: Pro-Rock Star
