I bought this amp because I needed a combo amp so I didn't have to drag my half stacks around to jam with friend. Despite what everyone recommends, I purchased the greenbacks instead of the blues. I cannot express how awesome the amp sounds. The tones you can get from this amp are limitless. I don't think I have ever messed with the settings on an amp as much as I have with this one. After they have been broken in, the greenbacks sound amazing. I cannot recommend this amp enough. As always, purchasing it from zzounds gives you the best price and customer service of any merchant I have ever worked with.

When first toying with this little monster, I was a little frustrated and not too impressed with the sound. it took a good half hour to figure out what this thing could do. Being that it is based on the mind set of an English individual who designed it in the late 50s, it's kind of like driving on the left side of the road instead of the right. Once you get going, you get used to it's novel settings. I love the tight clean bright tone that makes you want to keep playing for hours. I also leave it connected with the jump cable which give you not one, not two but three volume control simultaneously. The only thing I was not impressed with was the reverb. It was a little weak even at full tilt. I have reason to believe it's not working properly as I have heard nothing but good review of it. The attention to visual detail is near impeccable. I also should mention that zzound gave me not only a highly competitive price but it was ordered Sunday afternoon and arrive Tuesday. Unbelievable customer service. As with most of the other reviewers, I should note that this thing is not fun to carry. Have a dolly or cart nearby. 72 lbs for the Celestion model and 74+. I have the Celestions.

Got the greenback version. This amp is super responsive and versatile. Love how you can set it up on the edge of breakup pick hard and it will distort pick soft and it will be clean. Also love how it cleans up really well when you roll down the guitar's volume knob. Its super pedal friendly on either channel. Haven't had a pedal sound less than awesome through it yet. You can even get metal by boosting this amp with a good overdrive. The amp sounds best with the master cranked and using it as a clean platform for a pedalboard in my opinon. But its more versatile than that because you can get natural amp overdrive. But you can still get a good sound at quiet volumes and use it as a practice amp at home.

This VOX amp is one that I've been wanting for several years but was never able to purchase because I felt it was a luxury item that I didn't really need. But I finally treated myself and could not be happier about. It is all that they say it is: beautiful chimy harmonics, a real organic beauty that's clear and warm and bright and gritty and punchy at intervals. Dial up your sounds with a wide range of options. Incredible versatility and-- AGAIN-- the sound is just perfect.

I bought an Ac30c2 from zzounds exactly one year ago and figured I would give my review after using it for gigs and in studio. Let me say, at first I thought I would "have" to get some dirt pedals to give me a nice overdrive but boy was I wrong. Turn the gain up via the channel volume knobs and adjust the master to accommodate and you've got tone heaven! This thing roars. I think this amp is meant to be pushed into overdrive with the preamp tubes. You can always clean up the tone by rolling off the volume on your guitar. Don't rush out to buy an od pedal until you play around with the amp's settings. I have an ocd for added thickness but that's it. Seriously, I am in love with this amp. The overdrive is thick but not muddy. I use the top boost as it has more headroom when pushed (I run it all the way up) than the normal channel. The cleans out of this amp are good too. Not sterile like a lot of fender amps. The stock tubes weren't "bad" but I replaced the power tubes about 5 months into owning this and the preamp tubes 2 weeks ago. Overall, I highly recommend this amp. Buy it! You won't regret it.

This is by far the best amp I own so far. Pair this amp with a Telecaster, and it's tone city. I don't there's something I can say that hasn't been said. I opted for the c2x, and the alnico blues are definitely worth the extra dough. zZounds play as you pay option is the most competitive option out there. So far, I've made some recordings using an sm57, and have no complaints. This amp is more then enough in a jam setting with drums, an additional guitarist, and bass. Master volume is key. This has been my dream amp for years, and zZounds finally helped me make that dream come true!

This item was designated as blemished but came to me without so much as a scratch on it. All of the functions are working properly and it is exactly what I would have expected out of a new amp. It has all of the classic AC-30 tones that would be expected with an iconic amp. I have even stopped using a distortion pedal as often preferring to plug in to the high-boost section for the nice break up.

I purchased the Greenback version in order to save a little money about 6 years ago from zZounds. This was my first tube amp, so the difference in my tone to me was so stark that I would have immediately rated it 5 stars across. Now that I’m a little older, a little wiser, I’m still giving it 5 stars across. I did, however, replace the greenbacks with Alnico Blues, and it made a world of difference, pushing this from a good amp into great amp territory. One word of warning: this is a bright amp, even into the normal channel. It is very finicky with drive pedals. The Fulltone OCD, Crowther Hotcake, Boss MD-2, and Boss Metal Zone are the one I ended up having luck with. You can also crank it for “that” sound. Everything else sounds absolutely fantastic. It’s a famed amp for a reason.

This amp will be my main amp for most everything I need to do. The only exception is that I may have to purchase a 4x12 unit for it in the future. Another great feature of the amp is that it can be used as a "Head" for your cabinet if you really need more sound.

This will forever be a classic, From the Beatles Led Zeppelin to U2 and Radio Head,. This could easily be the most recorded tube amp in the history of Rock. This is a sonic tone monster hands down a powerful asset to any arsenal of a tube amp collector. A perfect man amp. It's not really high gain but if you know what your doing with a boost pedal like a screamer,.its Tube Heaven! I bought the Black Comet limited edition,.beautiful amp! Thank you Zzounds for the amazing payment plans. I plan on being a regular customer for life!

After many reviews and trips to guitar center to try the amp out, I finally decided this was the one for me. I have to admit, when I first recieved it I was a bit disappointed. The amp sounded great, but not up to par with other ac30s I played. I have no idea what happened, but one month later and this is the best sounding amp I've every played. I honestly doubt I'll need any other amp. My main rig is a bunch of pedals and a Fender Tele. The ac30 really brings out my tele's character. I would recomend this amp to anyone.

Versatile, great looking & terrific sounding amp. Played following guitars thru it with impressive results; Fender Tele, Martin OMJM, Taylor NS62, & from the 60's a Hagstrom-12 & Mosrite Celebrity. Vox amp easily drives vintage Kustom speaker cabinet (also from 60's) w/ 2-10's & 2-15's rewired for 16-ohms as external or extension hookup with great results. My only gripe with Korg is they did not reply to my email request regarding Reverb level verification.

I ordered this amp from zZounds and recieved it in 2 days. I plugged in and got a scratchy noise from the master volume, then the amp got very very hot! I called zZounds and they shipped me another new vox. The customer service was spot on! Anyhow. After playing my new vox, I was really impressed and couldnt put my guitar down. The amp really sings with a fender American standard stratocaster. The amp can get a lot of good tones. I play mostly blues and classic rock; nails all the tones I desire. Also, this amp takes pedals extremely well and I have a fairly large amount of pedals. If you want a pure tube, vintage tone this amp does it. I've owned Marshall's, orange, fender, mesa, and trace. This amp is the tone I've been looking for. Thank you zZounds for taking care of me.

I had been searching for that "one" sound for many years. I've owned a orange rockerverb stack, marshall JMP nodded, jcm800 84 model, several mesa boogie amps,all my with fender. This amp covers all of the tones I want and need. The vintage clean tones are the best you can get, not to mention driving this amp with factory gain. I should also note, I play a fender American deluxe stratocaster and just comes to life with bluesy/jazzy melodies. I am very picky but this vox bleeds me away with pure British classic vox tone. This will be the last amp I have. I cant stop playing when I get going due to the monster tonal qualities. It more than serves my purpose and blows my friends blackstar ht out the door. Great job to vox and kudos to zZounds for the play as you pay.
