Based on the classic AC30 design, with numerous up-to-date enhancements and Celestion Greenback speakers.
The VOX AC30C2 amp makes use of three 12AX7 preamp tubes and use four EL84 tubes to deliver 30W of power. It uses two 12" Celestion G12M Greenback speakers, and includes a switchable 8-/16-ohm output jack for powering an external speaker cabinet when you need to speak with a little more authority; using this jack will mute the internal speakers. Additionally, the 30W guitar amp's second extension speaker jack allows you to run an extra 16-ohm cabinet along with the internal speakers for a fuller sound.
An Evolution in Tone
This VOX amp offers two channels: Normal and Top-Boost. Each channel is equipped with its own Volume control, and the Top Boost channel offers highly interactive Treble and Bass tone controls. This powerful channel pairing provides an abundance of tone-crafting control, letting you dial in a classic sound that is all your own.
Both channels on this VOX tube amplifier rely on the Tone Cut and Volume controls in the Master section. The Tone Cut control operates in the power stage rather than the preamp stage, allowing an additional degree of tone shaping. The Master Volume control works in conjunction with the individual volumes of each channel to create just the right degree of gain staging. By balancing the individual and Master volumes, the VOX Custom amplifier can deliver everything from a clean VOX "chimey" sound to a powerful overdriven tone.
Sound in Motion
Sweeten the sound of your Custom VOX amplifier using its classic tremolo effect. Both the speed and the depth are adjustable, allowing you to generate just the sound you want. A warm Spring Reverb is also included on all VOX Custom guitar amps, adding spaciousness to the sound. The AC30C2 also includes an additional tone control in the Reverb section. The VOX Customer AC30C2 tube amp and all VOX Custom amps can use the optional VOX footswitch, allowing you to turn the reverb and tremolo effects on and off as you continue to play. The VOX Custom AC30C2 provides an effects loop for incorporating your favorite effects into your sound. True "Bypass" switching takes the entire effect loop out of the circuit.
