The Most Versatile AC30 Ever!

The AC30C2 is the most versatile AC30 in Vox history! Plug into this Custom Series guitar amp and you'll hear what we mean. Based on the classic AC30 design, the exciting new AC30C2 offers two channels - normal and top boost. Claim your own classic sound using the top boost channel's treble and bass controls while tweaking the tone cut and volume controls in the master section. When you balance the individual and master volumes, you can score everything from a classic, chimey Vox sound to an edgy, overdriven tone. And we haven't even mentioned the AC30C2's onboard reverb and tremolo yet.

Delivers a full range of sonic textures

While you can definitely get those British Invasion tones out of the Vox AC30C2, this 30-watt, 2 x 12" combo puts a range of new sounds under your fingertips. Sweeten the sound using the tremolo effect, adjusting speed and depth to get your sound right where you want it. You'll also like having the warm spring reverb onboard to add space to your tone. The AC30C2's reverb and tremolo effects can be turned on and off via footswitch for convenience. And if you're a pedalboard fiend, you'll appreciate the true bypass effects loop for bringing your favorite stompboxes in and out of your tonal path.

Chock-full of amazing tube tones

What's the magic behind the sound of the Vox AC30C2 combo amp? The tubes, of course! The AC30C2 offers up three of the popular 12AX7 preamp tubes and makes use of four EL84 tubes in the power section to make up its 30 watts. When you want to speak with more authority, just use the 8-/16-ohm output jack to play through an external speaker jack. Doing this will mute the built-in speakers. There's even a second extension speaker jack, so you can run through a 16-ohm cabinet at the same time you use the internal speakers. And speaking of speakers, the AC30C2 features a duo of 12" Celestion G12M Greenbacks for that vibey '60s rock sound you know and love.

Vox AC30 Rocks big time

I've been using Marshall Super leads, Traynor YBA-1a, old and new Fender, Ceriatone Dumble and boutique amps all my life. I saw a Vox ac30c2 at a show and told a friend about it, he came and bought it for $, like new, used. Two years later and being UN played by him (he was just a collector and played very little), he offered it to me so I had no choice but to buy it. It's been at rehearsal and on stage since then. I never thought it would sound so good, I love this amp. Heavy as hell but sounds super good with any guitar I use through it. I mean totally awesome. Bought the cover from Sweetwater and that gave me faith that it wouldn't get all knocked and scraped up. I like to keep my equipment as I bought it.
Pedals sound great through the Vox AC30c2 and I used many through it and now the Boss ME-80 which sound great through this amp.
All in all, I went from old Marshall and old, and new, Fender amps and settled on the Vox, you can beat it. Some of the best sounds recorded were recorded with Vox, I'm glad I picked one up. I'm looking forward to picking up the V212C extension cabinet to use with the AC30c2 and as a cabinet for the old Marshall, Fender and Traynor heads. Even though the greenbacks are made in China, they still sound great.

Amazing Amp

Always wanted an AC30 and this thing did not disappoint. Sounds great from low volume and completely clean all the way to cranking it and breaking up the tubes. Adding overdrive or distortion takes it to another level. Also takes effects very well, with or without using the effects loop. Keeps up with my heavy handed drummer with the volume only about 1/4th of the way up. Definitely recommend!

So much crunch. So many cleans.

This amplifier sounds amazing. It could use some casters, as it weighs a bit.
Music background: Playing by ear for a while now.
