VOX Custom AC30C2X 30W 2x12 Tube Guitar Combo Amp Black

Love this amp it's got everything I need, power, great clean sound and great overdrive sound.

I've been playing guitar for 30 years. Styles include Rock & Blues. I love Marshalls and have also used a Fender Super Reverb. I've tried Friedmans, love the sound of the BE100 but not the price. This Vox AC302X ("X" means Alnico Blue vs. Greenback Celestions) is awesome - fuller, punchier, warmer & clearer (even with a disortion pedal) than my Marshall DSL. I've jumped the Normal & Top Boost but prefer the Top Boost alone. It takes pedals very well just as the Marshall does (the Fender not as well). Price to value is excellent, highly recommend it.

well it all comes down to personal preference and playing style, i curently play in a band that plays everything from 90's grunge and alternative to classic rock and blues and it does them all very well, i can't see how anyone could not fall in love with this amp. it's capable of many different tones from sparkling cleans to beautiful natural over drive that can be dialed in at just about any volume and can also be pretty well controlled by you guitars volume. over all this amp has given new life to my playing and is very inspiring. at the price or any price really i don't know how you can beat it. try one out for your self.

to start off this has a great tone, but its a little pricey considering what little versatility it has. you can get a real nice clean tone, but not much drive at all. To get that distortion tone that Brian May uses you need to either get the Digitech Brian May signature distortion pedal(duh) or any good harmonic saturator or warm sounding distortion pedal. This amp is pretty heavy, (75 lbs), so i would definately get a cart to move this around for gigs. and if you are facing the amp, the dials are upside down, as if you are supposed to stand behind the amp when you are playing it. sometimes this amp can sound shrill, but fortunately it is easy to dial out of. the tremolo on this amp is definitely over par though, i also like how you can plug the amp into itself and get a more powerful sound. This amp is great for playing jazz, some blues and old rock. (wes montgomery, chuck berry, beatles, the who, kinks, muddy waters, jimi hendrix (mostly his clean tone). Another thing i like about it is the look, its not just a generic black box. Overall I would get this amp if you are a beatles or jazz aficionado, and own a gibson, fender, rickenbacker, prs, or gretsch. But when your are plaing anything post 70's, this amp is a fish out of the water.

There is really little that can be negatively said about this amplifier. It's beautiful looking, and well crafted. Simply looking at it lets you and everyone else know it's special. This amplifier is a tone-lover's wet dream. I've always been about perfecting my tone, and therefore I've been meticulous about strings, guitar, pedals, bypass, amps, and so on. This amplifier has met every expectation I've had in it. It has the crispest sound on Earth with a balanced dosage of lows, mids, and highs. The tremolo and reverb are especially great for crafting your own distinct tone. The natural overdrive you get from this tuber (by tweaking your dials) is PHENOMENAL. I've heard that replacing the stock tubes will benefit this amp...I'm skeptical, but I plan on giving it a try within the next year or so. You'll really never need another amplifier.

This amp was a gift to me from my parents these past holidays. The tone of the amp is nice, clean, and loud. There is different options of tone. My friends say they wish they had this amp. They would like some gret tone like this for their guitars. I've had several different amps (including foreign amps) with different brands, but they all don't compare to this Vox tube amp. This amp is the best sounding...
