From Our Research Team:

A Classic VOX Amp Brought Into the 21st Century!

The new VOX AC30 Custom Classic is the culmination of over 45 years of high quality, guitar amplifier design and fabrication. VOX has taken the best AC30 designs and added a number of useful, very cool features to create the most tonally flexible and affordable AC30 to date!

VOC AC30 Custom Classic Head at a Glance:
  • A historic guitar amp brought into the 21st century
  • Flexible amp with spring reverb, blendable channels and more
  • A ton of control possibilities
  • A total VOX experience!

History in the making
Why has the AC30 been an icon for decades? It's the amplifier's unique, warm tone, its player friendly "feel" and its primeval circuit design. With its straightforward "what you see is what you get" control format, the AC30 was a hit with artists from the very beginning. Back then, VOX owned the '60s "British Invasion" and to this day the AC30 is widely used by all kinds of guitarists performing in a huge range of musical styles.

Two blendable channels, a first
Not only does the AC30 Custom Classic include two channels, it also offers the ability to blend those channels together (a first for the AC30!). The Top Boost Channel serves up that classic AC30 tone, while the new expanded Normal Channel now offers two modes, Normal and Bright, which allow you to achieve the sounds of an assortment of vintage AC30s. Use the channels individually or blend them together for increased tonal flexibility to create a unique sound and feel that's all your own. Plus, the AC30 Custom Classic features a true bypass FX loop, spring reverb and master volume. It's an evolution of the original that is sure to become a classic in its own right.

Control freaks, rejoice!
The AC30 Custom Classic is fully equipped with well thought out and easy to use controls. With a Custom/Normal EQ switch, Tone control and Dwell switch for the spring reverb, Master Volume, fully variable Tremolo on all channels and a true bypass Effects Loop, VOX has thought of everything! They've even included a switchable cathode resistor that lowers power output and increases tube life. Of course, the AC30 Custom Classic comes with VOX standard controls like Treble, Bass, Tone, Volume, Standby and more.

A total VOX experience!
In order to achieve tonal nirvana, this AC30 is manufactured in VOX's vertically integrated manufacturing facility. What this means for you is that VOX has total control of the design, the quality and the sound of your amplifier. Their factory is capable of many processes not found in most guitar amplifier factories. VOX designs and manufactures their own transformers, speakers (except for the venerable VOX "Blue" and "NeoDog" which are manufactured by Celestion), cabinets and they build their own electronics. All components have been designed, manufactured or selected so that the performance and sound of your AC30 Custom Classic is second to none.

  • 30-watt head based on VOX AC30 Hand Wired amp

Music Background: Recording Engineer, guitarist
I love this amp. I've never owned a vintage AC30, but I've heard a bunch, this amp comes pretty close.

It's very well built, I gig with it occasionally. I can't think of anything wrong with this amp, especially for the price! close [-]
