Vox AC30CC2 212 Combo

Standard ac30 minus all the inputs with a load of useless features for an average guitarist. Madie in 2005, It really isnt to versatile but if you want the vox sound this is it. 2 channels normal and top boost. It has more than enough power for me.

This amp really sounds amazing i could only imagine what it would sound like with good tubes and better speakers. Also my guitar has really hot pickups in it so it would def. sound smoother with a strat or a gibson les paul with 57 classics in it. There is some hum but that is to be expected with any ac30. The distortion is very mellow not brutal at all.

I don't know ive only had it for a couple of days.

Its alright but it could be better.

Alright here is where i get angry i no longer have my amp yeh i had my dream amp that ive been waiting for 10 months for 4 days, do you want me to tell you why i don't have it anymore? Well anyways VOX could really care less about how a package gets to you and what kind of packing is involved this amp was shipped in a single box!! With flimsy cheapo foam corner protectors thats ALL, So when i got it was beat to all hell (thanks UPS) the reverb didnt work and there was crackling on the channels. So here is what we learned by this go out and buy an amp from a company that actually cares about there customers- THANKS ALOT VOX!

Very versatile, especially for an AC30. The master volume is great, and makes it possible to get all the AC30 tones at playable levels. Other featurs include channel link switch, Top Boost and Normal Channels, Reverb, Trem, switchable smoothing and output bias. w/vox 30w speakers.

I'm using a Les Paul DC Standard with a Seymour Duncan Phat Cat (p90 retrofitted into a standard sized humbucker) in the bridge, and a humbucker in the neck. It sounds awesome. Sounds like an AC30, as it should, but much more versatile. Master Volume is completely transparent. Reverb and Trem are decent and usable. This amp has great clarity, and unbelievable harmonic content. If you sit down with an AC30 for an hour, you'll understand what i mean. more than enough gain at reasonable levels. Goes from Chimey crystal clean to punk rock crunch, all at usable volume levels. If you have an AC30, you know what this amp sounds like, but now you don't need a hotplate to actually use it. I would go so far as to say that this amp could be used for every style of music. From Jazz to Metal. the 2x12 combo configuration doesn't fare well for heavier styles, but if you had the head and a closed back 4x12, i wouldn't be surprised at all if you could play hardcore or metal with it. The speakers i this amp are the biggest surprise. they sound great. very rich, like a g12h-30. They really handle the chime and the bite without any hint of brittle break up. I really wish the ratings when higher than 10 in this category, cause this amp might be 100!! If you are looking to spend about a grand on an amp, get this amp. you absolutely cannot get a better amp brand new for less than a grand than this one.

Who knows? They just came out.

No experience

I've been playing for over 15 years. If this amp were stolen or lost, i'd cry. Even if something were to go wrong with it, i'd still love it. It's kind of like a cute little kid. No matter what it does, you can't stay mad at it. It just sounds that good. Almost bought an Orange AD30TC. This thing is far superior. Some advice for all those considering AC30 style amps...if you want an AC30, get an AC30, nothing else sounds like one. It is easy to group all 30 watt el84 "class a" amps together and assume they all sound similar to an AC30. They don't. Only an AC30 sounds like an AC30. An Orange AD30 sounds nothing like an AC30 (actually sounds more like a 2203 marshall). Same with Matchless and Bad Cat. A Valvetronix sounds more like an AC30 than any of these. I think there are certain "flaws" in the signal that other manufacturers "correct" when they make they're AC30 based amps. It's these flaws, like the subtle ghost notes and honk, that make the AC30 sound so rich complex. play one, you'll like it. and if you don't want a 2x12 combo, get the head and a cab.

This amp has all the features that I need. Through the use of several switch settings and pot settings you get all the sounds that the AC30 has ever offered plus some. Additional features include reverb and tremolo.

The sound of this amp is nothing short of incredable. Great top end, mids and lows. Extremely well balanced with great natural tube distortion and clean when you want it. So far I've tried it with an American Stratocaster, Gibson ES135 and a Ric 360 12 string and I get the sounds I've been looking for but never got until now.

The suprise of the day is the speaker voicing. Never heard of Wharfedale before but these speakers ROCK!

A lot of thought seems to have gone into the design. As all electronics these day use circuit boards so too does the AC30CC2. However, it is clear to anyone with an electronics background, that Vox did the boards right and I do not expect any problems. For those that are concerned about jacks mounted on circuit boards, Vox has given them their own little sub board to eleminate flexing issues and other problems. Time will tell how reliable this amp is but I expect it to be good.

I'm glad I told the owner at my favorite local music store about this amp because he told me thanks for the info when they came in 9 months later and gave me an extra discount for letting him know about them.

If this amp was stolen I would replace it with exactly the same. I always loved the Vox sound and this amp gives me everything I want plus some. As far as I'm concerned this is the best sounding amp at any price and the price is a steal.

If you ever wanted an AC30 Amp, this the one to get. You will not regret it. This amp has THE Tone!

I can't come up with anything negative to say about this amp.
