Get That "Vox Sound" at Unbeatable Value!

Switch channels on Vox's stunning (and stunningly affordable) AC30VR combo, and you can move between legendary tube-fired Vox jangle and hot modern rock tones! With the tap of a footswitch, you can move between classic and contemporary sounds, so you're all set for the stage. The secret behind this affordable combo amp's amazing tones is in the "VR" in the 30-watt AC30VR's name. VR stands for Valve Reactor, technology Vox has been working on for a while - it's inside their renowned ToneLab pedals. What VR does, is bring you more of the sound, feel, and dynamic range that you'd expect from an all-tube amp - only without all that extra cost and weight. You won't believe the diverse soundscape of sounds available in the Vox AC30VR.









What really kicks the 2x12" AC30VR over the top is its 2-channel design - Normal and Overdrive. That means this amp is made to handle your need for old school flavor and modern edge — and you can easily switch between the two vibes using an optional footswitch. Although you could just switch on the amp, pick a channel, and be guaranteed great tone - the AC30VR also features a ton of knobs for you to dial in your classic-yet-custom sound. Use the Normal channels' bass and treble tone controls to balance your high and low ends. The Overdrive channel adds a Gain knob and a middle control for more defined tonal shaping. Finally, in the Master section, you can get your hands on the unique Tone Cut circuit knob — it dampens the high-end frequencies, for a smoother, rounder top end. Reverb and Master Volume controls complete the package.

Playing a big gig and want to "feel the power?" You can use the external speaker jack along with an 8-ohm extension cabinet. When you use the jack, the internal speakers mute. Whatever you do, you won't believe how much real-deal Vox tone you have pumping through the room, at such a real-world price. The AC30VR is the AC30 for the rest of us - you can't go wrong here.

Store Demo

I bought this amp from sweetwater as a demo and got a great deal. First impressions of this amp are good. I mainly use the clean channel with pedals. The clean channel really has some nice sparkle ... read more [+]and bass response. If you are a seasoned player you will be able to tell immediatly that it is not a full tube amp but it comes very close. The overdrive channels are pretty good as well. They can get really dirty and the first overdrive channel has some nice break up for some nice blues sounds. I mainly play country and this amp was bought as a back up to my Dr. Z. This has to be the best amp in this price range! Thanks to Kurt at Sweetwater! close [-]

Other than that it is A great amp and I would recommend this amp, if you want that tube sound without the price. close [-]

Our Customers Say...

My Sales Engineer is the best. If I need it tomorrow, I have it tomorrow. He makes sure everything is in order and that I'm set up right. I've spent a lot of money at other places, too, but I don't remember them calling me to make sure everything's okay.
