General

VOX is bringing back their legendary British guitar sound from the sixties with the AC30. The new and improved AC30 Custom is the most versatile AC30 to date, and the AC30C2X version of it features the prized Celestion Alnico Blue Bulldog speakers. If you're looking for warm lows, spacious mids and sparkling highs with a soft attack, that's exactly what you'll get from these speakers. This amp also has both a Normal and a Top Boost channel for anything from crystal-clear cleans to crunchy, powerful overdrives.

VOX AC30C2X: professional sound with great ease of use

With it's simple and intuitive control panel, the AC30C2X puts a world of sounds at your fingertips. Both channels are equipped with high and a low input, as well as an independent volume control. When you mix them with the Master Volume and Tone Cut, you can create a plethora of sounds. Tremolo and reverb effects are also at your disposal, so you can adjust the sound in detail to suit your taste. Should you connect the optional VOX VFS2A foot switch, you can use it to turn the effects on and off from a distance. There's also an effects loop for connecting your favourite pedals or effect processors.

Versatile connectors for external speakers

You'll find a switchable 8/16-ohm speaker output on the back of the AC30 Custom, which allows you to connect an external 8 or 16-ohm speaker cabinet. When you use an external speaker along with the internal amp speakers, you'll get an even fuller sound. There's also an extra 16-ohm speaker output that automatically switches off the internal speakers, which is ideal for experimenting with different types and sizes of speaker cabinets.

VOX AC30C2X Custom 30W 2x12-inch tube guitar amplifier combo
Wrote the following about VOX AC30C2X Custom 30W 2x12-inch tube guitar amplifier combo
Het eerste wat mij opviel bij de aankoop van deze versterker is het gewicht, hij oogt lichter dan hij daadwerkelijk is maar er zitten 2 handvaten aan weerszijde en nog een handvat in het midden dus hij is wel makkelijk te (ver)schouwen.
De versterker doet wat hij moet doen, heeft een heerlijk geluid en tal van keuze mogelijkheden om het naar eigen smaak in te stellen, geweldige tremolo en reverb, zeker als je fan bent van het jaren sixty geluid maar ook voor het ruigere werk volstaat deze VOX.
Aanrader ! !

The Blackstar Artist Series: Classic and Versatile

Monday 2 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

Blackstar has gone from a newcomer to an established name in a short space of time. One of their greatest assets is the Infinite Shape Feature or ISF circuit (as it's otherwise known) that they developed themselves. With the ISF circuit, Blackstar managed to greatly increase the versatility of tube amplifiers without the use of digital technology. The new Artist 15 and Artist 30 models both have an ISF circuit fitted and can produce the typical American 6L6 sound, as well as beloved British AC clean and crunch.

Wednesday 4 November 2015 By Richard | Bax Music

It's already been more than 10 years since VOX turned the amplifier world on its head with the Valvetronix series.

Now however, the time is ripe for VOX to introduce another series that, rather than show another slow and steady improvement, offer something more like evolution accelerated. Meet the VT20X, the VT40X and the VT100X, the first three models from the new series.
