Vox AC30 C2

Just got this amp today. It had a cardboard box around the amp and eight sturdy foam cubes in the corners. The box had a small damage on it, but the amp is perfect.
The sound: it's got a great clean and edge of break-up tone on the normal channel, but it's sound box or fizzy to my ears when cranked in the normal volume. (Although i wasn't playing very loud)
The top boost channel is brilliant in every aspects.
Pros:
*Nice tones at lower levels
*Best tone I've got so far with at anything at this sound pressure level.(88db???)
*Extraordinary tremolo and edge of breakup sounds
Cons:
The master volume has a jumping point in volume very early. This isn't a problem, but it sound so much better when it's louder. (Can't wait to try it at gig volumes)
I'm not a big reverb user so don't count this buy I'm not used to this type of reverb. I like having the tone of the reverb that is a nice touch, but I think this reverb is "slow" if it could be called like that. The reverb sits basically behind your playing with few millisecs delayed.

As the title says it all: Best decision of my life!

This thing is huge! If you're looking for a home practice amp this certainly won't be suitable. It's tremendously loud and could be used in many medium to large sized venues.

It's super heavy, almost 4 stone! The handles seems sturdy enough but it's too early to tell. At this point though the quality seems good enough to last a good while.

The good thing about this amp is the master volume. In previous AC30's the only way to get a good warm distortion was to crank the volume up full meaning to have a nice tone you had to deafen your bandmates - not any more! Now you can crank up the volume for the tone, and control the overall master with the master section. Another cool feature is the spring reverb which is super sweet. Also the tremelo is a nice touch and sounds crisp even if I don't use it much myself.

The sound it legendary. It's a powerhouse and sounds so warm you wouldn't believe. Despite it being an old design this amp is suitable for hundreds of genres too - from blues, to rock, to pop, to metal, this amp could do it all!

Amazing buy and I'm glad to be a proud owner of an AC30. No complaints, simply awesome.

Great amp got from Thomann for a very bargain price. Thanks to you lads.
Very heavy box but with the two side handles you can hire second creature to make it easier. Great features like tremolo, reverb, master volume. I was testing/ listening so many amps and this is the sound that fits my ears. The only downside are the stock tubes. Main V1 Ruby 12ax7 very very muddy with flabbiness through my Les Paul in Normal channel. Top Boost channel has EQ bass and treble and even with the Chinese V2 12ax7b tube can be adjusted to find your own tone. Power tubes Chinese Shuguang rattling as in hell. First when recording at home though amp is faulty but after studying many websides I discovered this is common Combo issue especially AC30 which is called torture chamber for tubes. I found the way out either buy good quality damper rings/ instruments and keep existing tubes or buy specially dedicated power tubes for VOX AC30 which have rugged construction and are resistant to bigger heat and vibrations. With Strat/Tele you might not get as huge rattling like with Les Paul but you can only hear it while playing at reasonable volumes on some notes but it is very annoying and you really hear while playing. When playing loud on rehearsal with drum kit to loud to hear it.
But when you sort that it sounds like a beauty beast and it is louder than many 50-60W tube amps. Other good thing is that you do not have to rebias the amp after changing tubes so you are saving the visit to tech guy. With this amp the master volume works for great I mean it is not like i many Fender/Marshall amps that when you up to volume level 2-3 you see the difference in loudness and after that it you need to put earplugs. With this amp loudness increases gradually.

It did not disappoint.
Ooozes quality.
This amp is loud, and I mean really loud. This sounds as loud as my 100 watt Orange. Amazing clean tones, through to proper nasty chrunchy rock goodness. Versatile even without pedals, but takes pedals really well too, especially with delay and mods in the effects loop.
It a beast to carry, a two person lift if more than a few meters - but luckily has a handle at each end!
It's hard to fault really.
