"Do you want the worlds best Guitar amplifier?"

Feature:
With a guitar amplifier as beautiful as the Vox AC 30 you don't need anything else to improve it. Trying to improve this model will probably do more damage than good, in my opinion you should keep it as simple as possible and you will notice the sound quality will be at its best.

Quality:
This amplifier might not look as strong as a lot of amplifiers but make no mistake these are very tough little amplifiers and you will be able to rely upon them. The parts are so unique and powerful and won't let you down. I don't know about anybody elses opinion but I love the apperance of this amplifier, to me it looks neat and easy to operate.

Value:
Yes, of course it is worth the price because this amplifier does everything you need in a guitar amp.

Desirability:
I love the look of the amplifier and everything about it, but the main reason I want one so badly is for its perfect tone.

Sound:
This classic guitar amplifier is without a doubt the best in the world, with its compact size to its great tone. It is used by some of the greatest guitarists in the world e.g Brian May (Queen). This amplifier sounds beautiful in overdrive or clean with or without effects pedals. The price is also great value considering the power you are paying for. My personal rating for this classic model is 10/10.

Support:
I have never had to deal with the company, but if the company is as good as their amplifiers then they have got to be the best.

Overall:
I will probably never come across another amplifier as good as this one because it's clearly a classic and they're the best and also my guitar idol Brian May uses this Model. And to answer your last question there is nothing I don't like about this amplifier.

"The greatest amp of all time"

Value:
pricy but worth every penny.Didn't tell the wife what i paid for this one.

Sound:
If your looking for the sound of the 60's/70's classic rock nothing else comes close. The best sounding amp i have ever owned.

Support:
never needed any

Overall:
What can i say but this is the greatest amp in the world.Hard to believe that since the early 1960's no other company has been able to produce an amp that sounds as good as this.

About This Product!

Description

The specifications of the Vox AC30/6 TB are the result of painstaking research by Vox guitarists and engineers, who were not happy until they recreated the amp that started it all. The result is a faithful reproduction in sound and style of those pioneering Vox amps of the early 60's.

Control Panel
The AC30/6 TB control panel layout is the same as the original, even to the point of being back to front! A standby switch has been added to prolong the life of the valves.

Valve Configuration
The valve line-up of the AC30/6 TB is as follows: Five ECC83s and a ECC82 in the preamp stage, with 4 EL84s in the power stage operating in Class A, plus a GZ34 rectifier valve in the power supply, for that unique Vox tone and feel.

Speaker Configuration
The AC30TB is fitted with a pair of Celestion G12M Greenbacks 12 in. speakers. Popular speakers since the 1970's, the Greenbacks have a warm sound with just the right amount of top end bite.

Design
The AC30 comes with original diamond fret cloth reproduction and Vox's famous basketweave vinyl covering, and the cabinet is made of Birch ply throughout, to original specifications. Other Vox cosmetic features, such as the authentic Vox handles, are also true to the original. The vent grilles have been enlarged to allow for improved ventilation. This provides longer valve life and improves amplifier performance.

Technical Info

The AC30/6 TB circuit is a faithful copy of the circuit designed by Dick Denney, Vox design engineer from 1957 to 1965.
