General

Vox's AC30S1 is a single channel version of the legendary AC30 tube guitar amplifier combo. It has the AC30's Top Boost channel which is essentially its trademark sound. It also has built-in studio-quality digital reverb and an FX send and return so that you can add your own effects pedals.

AC30S1: sparkling, rich and dynamic

The AC30S1 has four EL84 power amp tubes and two 12AX7 preamp tubes which ensure everything from sparkling cleans to thick overdrive. The single 12-inch VX12 speaker has been specially designed to let the dynamics in your guitar playing really shine through. Thanks to its compact design, the AC30S1 is one of the most transportable AC30 models ever made.

Wrote the following about VOX AC30S1 30W 1x12-inch tube guitar amp combo
De vox ac30, amaaai mijne rug en na tien jaar in de vuilste/smerigste clubs en op de boot naar de uk. En elke week in het buske en dan repeteren is hij buiten de lampen nog heel, dus dit bewijst dat het kwaliteit is, maar ook zwaar met 2 speakers en dus kocht ik deze...



De vox ac30s1...



De helft lichter en maar 1 handvat, nu deze handvatten zijn ok maar nu ook nie het beste en dit is voor alle voxen, dus best met 2 handen oppakken...



De switch voor in en uit is een beetje crap, maar het werkt...



Voor de rest inpluggen en gaan, en dan vergeet je alle bovenstaande zever...





In iedergeval ik heb met de vox ac30 cc2 alle pannen van de dakken omgekeerd en nu ga ik ze met de ac30s1 terug tegoei leggen...



En oja, niet twijfelen kopen ...



(Ps. Proco rat is een perfect match)

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.

The VOX VTX Series - Evolution Accelerated

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. This series of amps combined digital modelling technology with convincing tube sounds. Since then, models have slowly but steadily improved along with digital technology. 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.
