I also started buying additional amps later than Kenny did. Kenny has every era Vox AC30, IIRC, while I have no JMI or 90s Korg era amps-hey, I only have so much $.and space.
At NAMM he was the one who pointed out that the new amps had a SS rectifier to me. Kenny knows more about AC30s than I do it would be interesting to read his thoughts on this thread. There is a way to get more bottom out of a standard AC30, which is to combine the TB and normal channels via a short cable between the the inputs of each channel. Ask Kenny about that he has AC30s in just about every color tolex the amps have ever been offered in. Now that I have the H2, it's my main amp, because I really like the "pentode" mode on the TB channel, as well as the EF86 channel both have more bottom end than the standard AC30 TB channel has then again the H2 has creme colored tolex, which looks super cool, and I always like to use gear that looks a little different.

And are the HW and the CCX2 just as loud as one of your Fender Twins?įavorite? To make a short answer long, the `73 was my longtime favorite, then I used the CC2X for about a year most of the time, then went back to the `73, but mostly just because the grey fawn tolex looked cooler.

VOX AC30CC2 MODIFIED WITH GREENBACKS UPGRADE
Rather than offer a complete baltic birrch replacement cabinet, North Coast Music is offering an $80 upgrade to a 13 ply baltic birch (speaker) board covered in your choice of either brown or black diamond Vox grill cloth. The AC30C2 amp cabinet is made of MDF (particle board), the AC-30CC2 amps were made of 13 ply baltic birch plywood.
It was an included accessory with the AC30CC2. The VFS2A foot switch for the AC30C2 amp is an extra cost option. The AC30C2 amp uses Celestion Greenback speakers, The AC30CC2 used Wharfedale GSH12-30 speakers. Additionally, the diode bridge rectifier used in the AC-30C2 allows the amp to be somewhat louder than the tube recified AC-30CC2. As there is no GZ34 rectifier tube, this problem cannot happen in the AC30C2. Both the fuse and the tube must be replaced to corect the problem. When it fails, the amp blows a fuse and stops working. The tube most likely to fail in an AC-30 is the GZ34 rectifier. However, there is another side to the story. The effect of this power supply sag is considered by many to be an important part of AC-30 tone. How does this affect the tone and durability of the amplifier? When driven hard, a tube rectified AC-30 exhibits some compression in level due to power supply sag. The AC30C2 does not have a tube rectifier, it has a diode bridge for rectiification. The AC30CC2 required the removal of the amp chassis to change tubes. The AC30C2 has tubes that may be changed without removing the amp chassis from the cabinet. The AC-30CC2 had only two inputs.īoth amps have foot switchable tremolo and reverb. Each has dual inputs (a total of four inputs). The AC30C2 has two channels, Top Boost and AC-30 Normal. The AC30C2 has a new, lower price when compared to the AC30CC2. What are the differences between the new Vox AC30C2 amp and the AC30CC2 amp that Vox recently discontinued?
