Vox AC30C2
Overview
The Vox AC30C2 is a 30-watt all-tube combo amplifier that delivers the full, iconic AC30 experience with a pair of 12-inch Celestion G12M Greenback speakers producing the rich, chimey tone that has defined British rock since the 1960s. Powered by four EL84 output tubes and three 12AX7 preamp tubes, the dual-speaker configuration creates a wider, more immersive sound field than single-speaker AC30 models, with enhanced bass response and a more three-dimensional stereo-like presence. The two-channel design features a normal channel for a pure, transparent signal path and a top boost channel with independent bass and treble controls that add the signature Vox shimmer and harmonic overtone. The onboard tube-driven tremolo and spring reverb are both musical and expressive, contributing to the atmospheric quality that makes this amp a favorite for recording. The AC30 excels in the clean-to-crunch territory, producing glassy cleans that break up into a warm, complex overdrive as the volume increases. Build quality is solid with a traditional vinyl-covered cabinet, diamond grille cloth, and robust construction. This is the definitive choice for players who want the full AC30 sound with the tonal depth that only a dual-speaker configuration provides. The amp weighs over 70 pounds and produces considerable volume even at moderate settings, making it challenging for small spaces.
