Some major features were added to benefit the modern player, while retaining the classic AC30 tone. The AC30CC2X is a 30-watt class A circuit using three 12AX7 preamp tubes, a 5AR4 rectifier tube, and four EL84 power tubes. It soon became a huge part of what became known as the “British sound.” In the four decades since, numerous parent companies have owned Vox, but the AC30 has always been part of its line, remaining relatively untouched.
The AC30 was the product of the furtive mind of Dick Denny, and Vox debuted the amp in 1959. Vox, today a subsidiary of Korg, recently began making a high-end reissue of its famed 30-watt amp in several configurations, and offered to let us take a look at its latest – the AC30 Custom Classic (CC) with two 12″ Alnico-magnet Celestion speakers.
Small wonder that the legendary tone of a Vox AC30 is the reference used by so many of today’s boutique amp builders. The rear of the AC30C2 Relic features sockets allowing the connection of additional speaker cabinets.When most guitarists think of Vox amps, memories abound of the British Invasion and all of the artists – famous, semi-famous, and not-so-famous – who used them at the time. The speakers of the Vox AC30C2 Relic are made up of two Celstion G12M Greenbacks, which with their warm sound and the vocal middle spectrum are perfectly suited for the character of this combo.
Plus there is also a serial effect loop for integrated external effect devices, complete with bypass switch. The Tremolo effect features adjustment settings for Speed and Depth. The Tone and Volume can be controlled, providing a wide spectrum of subtle sound fatteners. The "Top Boost" channel in addition posses a 2-band sound control with interactive Bass and Treble controls, allowing for a wide spectrum of sounds.Īdditionally, the Vox AC30C2 Relic is equipped with reverb and tremolo effects. This Combo features two channels "Normal" and "Top Boost", each with individual High and Low inputs as well volume controls. The Vox AC30C2 Relic Combo delivers that legendary Chime and Overdrive which helped shape the sound of the British Invasion of the mid 1960s yet with significantly more flexibility.
