AC30
Custom Classic Series
The new 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!
History in the
making
Why has the AC30
been an icon for decades? It's the amplifier's unique, warm tone, its player
friendly feeland 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.
With a number of modern
enhancements including blendable channels, a true bypass FX loop, spring reverb
and master volume, to name just a few, the new AC30 Custom Classic is an
evolution of the original that is sure to become a classic in its own right.
Attaining the highest
standards
In order to
achieve tonal nirvana, this AC30 is manufactured in our vertically integrated
manufacturing facility. What this means for you is that we have total control of
the design, the quality and the sound of your amplifier. Our factory is capable
of many processes not found in most guitar amplifier factories. We design and
manufacture our own transformers, speakers (except for the venerable Vox Blue
which is manufactured by Celestion), cabinets and we build our 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.
An evolution in
tone
When we set out to
create the AC30 Custom Classic, we started from our most highly acclaimed model
to date, the AC30 Hand Wired. With twin inputs (high and Low) and a Master
Volume circuit, these amps offer highly interactive Bass and Treble tone
controls, as well as the VOX Tone Cut control (which varies the presence in the
power amp section) for even greater tonal variety. We also included Classic
Tremolo with variable Depth control and a tube-driven Accutronics reverb with
Level and Tone controls as well as a Dwell switch.
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 our new expanded Normal Channel
now offers two modes, Normal and Bright which allows 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.
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, we've thought of everything! We've even included a switchable cathode
resistor that lowers power output and increases tube life. Of course, the AC30
Custom Classic comes with our standard controls like Treble, Bass, Tone, Volume,
Standby and more.
