The very first AC30s didn't have the fabled Top Boost section it was originally something you could have as an upgrade if you returned your amp to the JMI factory in Kent.

Player feedback, however, told Vox's designers that the CC's myriad switches and options were largely surplus to requirements, so what better reason to revisit the design, save a bit of cash and offer an all-new, more stripped-down AC30 Custom? Yep, us tooвЂ¦. A significant watershed came in when Vox switched production to China for the well-received Custom Classic series. Since the UK-made reissues of the s, the brand has been continually evolving its solution to affordable-yet-authentic new versions of its number one son. With this amp loudness increases gradually.The Vox AC a bastion of British tone that defined a generation in sound. With this amp the master volume works for great I mean it is not like i many Fender/Marshall amps that when you up to volume level 2-3 you see the difference in loudness and after that it you need to put earplugs. Other good thing is that you do not have to rebias the amp after changing tubes so you are saving the visit to tech guy. When playing loud on rehearsal with drum kit to loud to hear it.Д«ut when you sort that it sounds like a beauty beast and it is louder than many 50-60W tube amps. With Strat/Tele you might not get as huge rattling like with Les Paul but you can only hear it while playing at reasonable volumes on some notes but it is very annoying and you really hear while playing. I found the way out either buy good quality damper rings/ instruments and keep existing tubes or buy specially dedicated power tubes for VOX AC30 which have rugged construction and are resistant to bigger heat and vibrations. First when recording at home though amp is faulty but after studying many websides I discovered this is common Combo issue especially AC30 which is called torture chamber for tubes.

Power tubes Chinese Shuguang rattling as in hell. Top Boost channel has EQ bass and treble and even with the Chinese V2 12ax7b tube can be adjusted to find your own tone. Main V1 Ruby 12ax7 very very muddy with flabbiness through my Les Paul in Normal channel. I was testing/ listening so many amps and this is the sound that fits my ears. Great features like tremolo, reverb, master volume. Very heavy box but with the two side handles you can hire second creature to make it easier. Great amp got from Thomann for a very bargain price. Despite it being an old design this amp is suitable for hundreds of genres too - from blues, to rock, to pop, to metal, this amp could do it all!ДЄmazing buy and I'm glad to be a proud owner of an AC30. It's a powerhouse and sounds so warm you wouldn't believe. Also the tremelo is a nice touch and sounds crisp even if I don't use it much myself. Another cool feature is the spring reverb which is super sweet.

In previous AC30's the only way to get a good warm distortion was to crank the volume up full meaning to have a nice tone you had to deafen your bandmates - not any more! Now you can crank up the volume for the tone, and control the overall master with the master section. The good thing about this amp is the master volume. At this point though the quality seems good enough to last a good while. It's super heavy, almost 4 stone! The handles seems sturdy enough but it's too early to tell. It's tremendously loud and could be used in many medium to large sized venues. This thing is huge! If you're looking for a home practice amp this certainly won't be suitable.
