The Vox AC30 Custom is a legendary amplifier that is known for its vintage sound. It has been a Vox icon for many years and is based on the classic Vox blueprint from the 1960s. This amp combines the authentic tones of the past with modern manufacturing processes, resulting in one of the most versatile sounds in Vox history.
One of the standout features of the Vox AC30 Custom is its ability to produce bright clean tones filled with chime, as well as powerful distorted crunch. This means that it can handle a wide variety of styles and genres. The gain and master volume controls allow you to achieve a warm overdrive at any level, and the amp also features a classic tremolo effect with separate depth and speed controls.
The Vox AC30 Custom offers a vintage sound that can be customized to your liking with its normal and top-boost channels. Each channel has its own volume control, and the top-boost channel provides interactive treble and bass controls for additional tonal shaping. The amp also has a tone cut control that operates at the power stage, allowing for further tonal crafting. The master volume control works in conjunction with the individual volumes of each channel to create the perfect amount of gain-staging.
In addition to the tremolo effect, the Vox AC30 Custom features a warm spring reverb effect that adds spaciousness to your guitar’s harmonics. The amp can be connected to the Vox VFS2 footswitch, which allows you to turn these effects on and off while playing.
The AC30 Custom is powered by 3 x 12AX7 preamp tubes and a pair of EL84 tubes, which drive the two 12″ Celestion speakers. It also offers a switchable 8/16ohm output jack for connecting to an external speaker cabinet. An additional 16ohm cabinet can be used along with the internal speakers for a fuller sound through the amp’s second extension jack.
