The world-renowned AC30 just did the time warp again! Get classic British tone in an amp decked out in retro vibes -- all the way down to Bakelite handles.

Inspired by the ultra-rare VOX amplifiers of 1960, the ACTV Limited Two-Tone series recreates one of VOX's most coveted and short-lived designs for the AC series. Complete with TV-Front cabinets, Two-Tone vinyl covering, Gold piping, Tygon grill cloth, and retro Bakelite handles, the ACTV Limited Two-Tone series amplifiers are straight out of the VOX history books. Based on classic AC designs, each model features the modern enhancements of VOX's proven Custom Series amplifiers. Available only for a limited time, these amps are sure to become as collectible as their predecessors!

An Evolution in Tone

The VOX AC30C2-TV-BC Limited Edition Custom Series amps offer 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 tone that is all your own. Both channels 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 Custom Series can deliver the coveted clean VOX "chimey" sound or a powerful overdriven tone -- and everything in between.

Sound in Motion

read more You can sweeten the sound of the VOX AC30C2-TV-BC amps by using the VOX Classic Tremolo effect. Both the speed and the depth are adjustable, making the Tremolo circuit extremely useful, allowing you to generate just the sound you want. A warm Spring Reverb is also included on all Custom Series amps, adding spaciousness to the sound. The AC30C2-TV-BC generously adds an additional tone control to the Reverb section. Using the Reverb and Tremolo together can create even more interesting effects. These onboard effects give the Custom Series their deep personality, and will add new dimensions of sound to your own playing. And while the Tremolo and Reverb are certainly exciting, the AC30C2-TV-BC amp also provides an effect loop for incorporating your favorite effects into your sound. True "Bypass" switching takes the entire effect loop out of the circuit.

Power Sharing

There is no mistaking true tube tone. Both Custom Series combo amps make use of 3 x 12AX7 preamp tubes. The AC30C2-TV-BC uses 4 x EL84 tubes to delivers 30 Watts of power and a pair of EL84 tubes in the gives you 15 Watts of power. Both models offer a switchable 8 /16 ohm 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. The extension speaker jack allows you to run an additional 16 ohm cabinet along with the internal speakers for a fuller sound.
